Congrats man! This is the first time I stumbled upon your extension and I have to admit, it is pretty neat and useful. I too have created one vocabulary trainer extension, but haven't released it as it way too unpolished and I am using a paid dictionary.
However, do you mind sharing some of your stats? Which language pairs are mostly used on Readlang?

Impressive but I don't see the point of diagnosing Parkinsons in early stages when there is no cure available.

As there is a high failure rate in startups it is very important to know though whether you are made for that kind of world. True, you'll learn a lot with every failure but not all of us want to spend years and years on miscarriages.
Re:Pinboard Turns Five

The blog post states that Pinboard makes around $200k a year but they charge only a one-time fee of $10. Does that mean they get 20k signups each year? Does Pinboard display ads or is there another business model behind it?

I totally agree with keeping the message short. Also I have read from several other sources that telling a story is key. But how are you supposed to tell a story in 4 sentences?

What about an YC Hacks hosted in Europe?

First it was hard for me as well to figure out "what it does" or to be more precise "how it does it" but there is this little animation on the landing page which illustrates it pretty well.
@nota.io: you could make that animation bigger or make a video out of it.

Re:How I'm using Twitter to acquire 100 uniques a day for my startup

Well you can always argue what is right and what wrong. Very true, it is a violation of the Twitter terms of services but I still appreciate it for sharing with the HN community.
There has also been a post about Darkmarket (https://github.com/darkwallet/darkmarket) on HN. Again, I do not encourage trading illegal goods at all but as a proof of concept it is still impressive.
Re:Ask HN: do i need a trial version? (If yes – how to implement?)
on Monday May 05, 2014 @05:14AM (#7697612)
That is truly an uncomfortable situation. Without any deeper knowledge about HamsterDB or your pro version, you might consider offering your service as SaaS and charging for that. Of course this won't work with all your pro features such as compression or encryption (or maybe it could work in some innovative way).
For instance you could charge for painless DB hosting, so users do not have to worry about complicated setups and can immediately use HamsterDB after signing in.
EDIT: But you can still go for the 30 day money back guarantee with the exposure of the pro version's source. If that fails you still can decide to switch to a SaaS model.

I am the cofounder of MyMundus, so my opinion is quite biased. We started MyMundus because conventional note taking apps such as bookmark services did not suffice, especially when you forgot to create a bookmark.

Re:Ask HN: Can you do 2 different YC applications in one batch?
on Wednesday March 05, 2014 @02:43AM (#7345868)
Thanks for this insight. You are right, it might send the wrong message but could also mean we pivot / go for that ideas which generates higher growth [1]. I guess it is a matter of communication.
Ask HN: Can you do 2 different YC applications in one batch?
We have two tempting ideas. One is in private beta, for the other one we have a working MVP. While we worked on idea 1 for quite some time and is more high-tech, idea 2 might have a higher paying customer base (not tested yet). Is it advisable to apply with both startups for YC?

Ask HN: Do YC startups hire people from abroad?
I see it quite frequently on HN that YC startups are looking for employees, mostly in the tech area. I am curious whether those startups hire people from abroad who will move then to the US to start working? Do visa issues and work permits cause too much trouble, so only US citizens are considered being employed?
Cool stuff, I have been looking for something similar for quite some time.
