You should finish college. Believe it or not you learn a lot on college, not only from teachers but from your classmates. It's a great experience and you have your whole life to work. Give college a chance, you won't regret it.
Re:Ask HN: Do any alumni think YC was not worth it? on Sunday March 30, 2014 @06:47AM (#7495798)
Why wouldn't it be worth it? I mean, it only lasts 3 months, you get $17,000 and you get access to an incredible network of contacts plus very good feedback. How can't it be worth it?

Thank you very much for you explanation, I wasn't able to make it work.
Wow. This seems like a direct competitor of Gbatteries (YC W14). Link to discussion on Gbatteries: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7459435
That is so true. At some hours they'll have no clients at all and at others they'll need tons of people delivering the bread to get on time.

Dual boot is very difficult to achieve. On the Revolution you are able to switch from one OS to another but you can't select which OS you want to use while booting

I'm sure they ship to the US
Re:Geeksphone launches the first multi OS smartphone on Friday February 21, 2014 @02:46AM (#7275865)
They don't sell their previous smartphones anymore, they are focused on the Geeksphone Revolution
Re:Geeksphone launches the first multi OS smartphone on Friday February 21, 2014 @02:44AM (#7275861)
I think the important value for geeks it that you can have different OS in the same phone

They say the performance is between a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 5

You're using (0,0) as reference to move the cube but IMO you should use ( width/2, height/2 )

Do you really think you're going to get freedom from Google?
Re:A nice tribute to Steve Jobs on Saturday October 05, 2013 @05:53PM (#6502222)
I'm sorry to say this but I really hate your website. I go inside and see this: http://wz.io/fd/2EhcCATA. Where on earth do I have to click or how do I watch the tribute? After several minutes, after even changing to other motivational videos because I thought the arrows would change the image (really stupid thought huh) I realize it's just a slideshow where I can nav between images using the dots.

And then, suddenly, this window appears: http://wz.io/fd/HAKDPHEd and I can't continue doing anything, or I introduce my mail or I introduce my mail, seriously?

It's down for me
It doesn't say 6GB of RAM, it says 6Gb which is not the same, one stands for Gigabits and the other for Gigabytes;

1 Gigabyte = 8 Gigabits // 6 Gbits = 768 Megabytes

I can't believe Samsung is trying to cheat people like this. It is really mean and miserable to play around talking in bits instead of bytes to trick customers.
Re:Yesterday I Wrote My First Firefox OS App on Monday August 12, 2013 @08:16AM (#6198762)
I've also developed a Firefox OS App. I've done a compass and a lantern and I love Firefox OS because it's so awesome and easy to develop an app with HTML5.

By the way, I have a Geeksphone Peak and it works great, next month they're launching Geeksphone Peak+, it seems promising. Geeksphone is making much much better phones with FFOS than ZTE.

No monetization plan, part time work, difficult to find talent to help with the growth because of money... what if you made it open source? You would get really talented guys helping you with the project for free. You can win some money using donations.
Re:Show HN: website screenshot for dummies. Shotsrv.com on Monday June 17, 2013 @02:35PM (#5895012)
Why when I write a link to try out Shotsrv an image appears that says "No images, deal with it!" ???
It would be really awesome, if I had any experience with Python I would try. Además hablo español asi que no tengo problema con eso...
Re:Y Combinator results on Tuesday April 16, 2013 @04:06PM (#5560533)
Same on me, on last cycle we had our demo and vid visited although we had a very early and poor prototype, now we've been working really hard for months on it and we have a really awesome product, but no visits this time.

We even bought a server on USA so they had a low ping and did a tour on our demo. It's really hard to be working so much time on it and haven't had it even visited.

wow, you're really fast sending the sms, it arrived just when I clicked the button.By the way, I don't really like your administration panel, it's kind of ugly and it reminds me very much gandi's admin panel.
