Re:Ask HN: Startup Weekend - How can I add value? on Monday June 25, 2012 @09:19AM (#4156343)
(as a tech person and I've been to two startup weekends + numerous hackathons) Whatever idea you come up with the team, I think the way to "motivate" the tech people is to validate that the idea is viable one - that means, do all that is necessary - make calls, go out and talk to people, SELL IT! - to let the tech people know that whatever they are building is worth it.

For example, if you spent 5 hours during your startup weekend outside talking to potential customers and actually lock in a potential buyer AND even invite that person to the demo - heck invite 2 or 3 potential customers - then I think you are doing an awesome job as a non-tech person.

maybe a new kickstarter project?

Ask HN : Whatever happened to the "curated video" scene?

I remember about two years ago, "Curated Video" contents were one of the popular ideas amongst startups. But seems like it faded away. Did it just not work because of the behemoth Youtube, Hulu etc? And people were just not that interested in "curation"? Or was it just too hard of a problem (and still unresolved?) On the other hand - curated "content" or content discovery still seems quite hot....

Re:What really is sin? on Thursday June 21, 2012 @04:42AM (#4141056)
the intended meaning of "sin" in its original language can be interpreted as "missing the mark". What is that "mark"? According to the Bible, the mark is the Truth, God's Word, or to simply put, living according to the Word of God, or living the life that Jesus commanded us to live.

Therefore, all acts of "sin" as postulated by the society (e.g. immoral behaviour, adultery, murder etc), according to the Word of God are merely the symptoms of sin.

Therefore, real sin or the root sin is the very fact that we are not living according to God's ways, but "missing the mark" and going on our own ways.
