Now you made me curious about the stats of different age groups accepted into YC.

Love the idea, dislike the 1 color and the design. nothing wrong with minimal but this feels to narrow.

Should have put the [Y] somewhere in there imo

Put them up for sale on sedo.com doesn't hurt for starters
Re:Samwers Clone Stripe on Tuesday August 14, 2012 @11:18AM (#4381321)
Bears the question, why is Amazon Payment still US-only? We in Europe need stuff like that so badly. Hell even a lot of options that Paypal offers is not available in mainstream European countries. There is really a huge opportunity and need of Stripe / Wepay / competitors that work in Europe.
Re:This is a bit f'd, Quora on Monday August 13, 2012 @02:48PM (#4377408)
This is completely crossing the line. Showing others what you have searched without notifying me about this is just offensive to me. I love quora and what they are doing, but this is completely below the belt.

Awesome site also, bundling high quality posts and articles in this tech/startup/design industry is really valuable to me
Re:Dalton Caldwell: App.net is not Vaporware on Wednesday August 08, 2012 @06:49PM (#4358532)
Dalton stated he will return all the money if he does not raise the full amount.

Now why do I have the feeling that there is going to be a annex to that statement in a few days? He'll probably figure something out that allows him to (be allowed to) keep the money raised.

Anyone tried this yet? The proposition looks valuable (at least for the one on the receiving end).

Belgium, probably nobody uses his credit card to buy coffee. We only use our credit card when we have absolutely no other option :)
Re:Here’s What Happened At Fluent on Wednesday August 08, 2012 @10:57AM (#4355873)
It is a near impossible task for sure. I got to know them pretty recent, and by briefly checking out their UI and features, I really felt inclined to try it out.. too bad I never got in the beta.

I feel maybe they should have endured a little longer? At least launch or public beta, and take it from there?

It looks that they shut down primarily based on monetary reasons and not being able to raise a seed. Because they needed "proof of quite large user numbers and growth – something we couldn’t supply with our own money."

Can't wait till they come to Europe. We need this so much it's unbelievable. Payment over here absolutely sucks.
Re:Designers and Developers: Why Can’t We Get Along? on Wednesday August 08, 2012 @10:34AM (#4355720)
I am a designer first and a developer second. Sadly I can not relate with your statements at all. A web designer who has no clue what VCS is, does not think naming matters, hell still uses inline CSS, is a poor designer in this day and age.

how do you write such article without using screenshots :s
Re:Show HN: Simple version control for designers on Monday September 12, 2011 @04:44PM (#2988826)
Agreed. We all end up naming our designs Index_01.psd, Index_01a.psd, .. anyway. I don't think commit messages are that important in design.

Always cool to know too is acceptance of H1B
Re:How a Coding Obsession Killed My Startup on Friday August 19, 2011 @03:10PM (#2904490)
I feel there is a distinct difference between a "startup" and anything software related that you sell

Like maddox said himself, he had never the intention of running a business, and that's okay, that's perfectly fine, but it's not a startup. I feel lately everything is labelled a startup, while a lot of things could be, it is just not the case as long as you don't treat it like one.

I think this is a great idea, so much potential, mainly in the community aspect.
