Re:Ask HN : What do you do when you feel like a loser? on Friday December 28, 2012 @09:26AM (#4977754)
If I look at my achievements that I am proud of, they have do not link to traditional status symbols like money and job. I see both achievement in my professional career and in my private life. And all achievements would be possible if I had no $$, a more basic job and a lesser status.

Try to find your achievements in being a friend, being a valuable person in your community. Do arts. Publish your art.

Try to be part of a community of crazy people, people who try things out, people who motivate you.

This can work for some special interest bands that are arty and hip and young and sexy. It will not work for conservative musical genres and pop music.
Re: Would you use this? A keyboard-friendly, social checklist app on Wednesday December 21, 2011 @11:49AM (#3378096)
It is great. Please not, that Z and X are not next to each other on a QWERTZ keyboard. I'd suggest to double the shortcut of Z with Z and Y.

Next thing: The modifier keys do not work on my Apple Mac Book.

Does anyone know an European service that is as great as Twilio? All provider here in Germany suck more or less, offer a bad API and are totally overpriced.

I assume any consumer OS will generate a symlink for compatibility reasons.

Ask HN: How to price my startup's product?

My startup will provide a ticket shop for a band, an event organizer or a congress. Current competitors charge 7% (excl. PayPal fees) or at least 1$ provision per sold ticket. This is way to expensive for small clubs as the whole entertainment industry is broke at the moment.So how do you think should I place my fee? Go for a dumping price? Hide my actual fee by adding it to the final ticket...
