That favicon of the White House in front of a red background seems to send a wrong message scaled down to that degree. I hope they fix up some of the design work.

How did that end up working out? Really curious about that working model.
Ask HN: Solid team ready to start a business–without a product. Where to start?
Myself and some partners have been working on a few side projects together. We've proven out that we work well together, have complimentary skill-sets, and can deliver a product from concept to execution. We're ready to move forward and devote ourselves to working together full-time, but are not sure what to work on.Has anyone been in a similar situation, and if so how did you get past that...
Re:Ask HN: How much do developers make in Toronto?
on Tuesday May 31, 2016 @12:47PM (#11807684)
Sadly, the compensation for people in technology in Toronto (which includes devs, designers, pms, etc) is less lucrative than most major metropolitan cities in the US. I wish this wasn't the case, but in my experience, I'm making more than double in New York than what I would be making in Toronto as a designer. Would love to come back to Toronto if it made financial sense.

I totally had one of these. Actually two of them. Like simcop2387 I bought one originally for WAY too much money, and then 2 years later found another on clearance for $20. I used it for wireless internet in the house—long before we ever got wifi.
This thing was the first MP3 player I ever used, the first handheld organizer I ever used (though dad had a Newton), and the first time I ever really felt like I was using a futuristic tool. The thing could have been awesome.
The one thing I will always remember was that when I was buying it (dad bought it for me for my birthday)—he stopped me and said 'Are you sure you want this? I can get you this or a Palm Pilot'. Without hesitation, I went with the Cybiko. A year later I regretted it so much, but looking back at it now—the Cybiko was awesome and I made the right decision.

Re:Techstars to open up shop in Detroit

Does anyone else feel like Detroit is going to be an attractive place for young tech folks to start their businesses in the next 10 years?
Are there any Detroit-centric REITs out there?
Ask HN: Securely storing personal hard drives?
I wanted to know if anyone has any strategies for keeping my hard drives safe. I have some old computer hard drives I'd like to keep safe in my home in case I need to come back to them. Ideally, I'm looking for a solution which is electrostatic-safe and waterproof. Are safety-deposit boxes a good idea?

Haha awesome. We're reviewing all this great feedback trying to determine our best next move. It's a fun time!
Feel free to keep using the site, and please be in touch. Would love to hear more feedback or advice, as well as take a look at what you're working on.

The star rating seems almost unnecessary, compared to the rich feedback you get from the comments. I notice my time incrementing, but what does that mean to me?
Overall, nicely done. LOVE the on-boarding process.

Absolutely. There's a huge psychological and group mentality thing with this project the team and I are working through right now. There's a huge risk in it spiraling towards being too negative or also too superficial. We're trying to keep a balance with meaningful, constructive feedback, similar to this site to be honest.

That's a really nice perspective, and probably not one I would come up with intuitively. If I understand you correctly and may paraphrase, keeping it anonymous will prevent skewed perceptions on weight of opinion based on "clout", and rather keep it relatively anonymous and base clout on positive contribution, with the addition of opportunity to show off positive contribution elsewhere?

We were thinking of directly tying your Swrm profile to something like LinkedIn, and in keeping with our vision of honesty, essentially prevent users from being anonymous. What do you think?
