If it were a true opt-in without a pre-checked input as suggested then it becomes a moot point surely.
Ask HN: Interesting examples of startups breaking into tough industries?
Particularly examples of well-entrenched / monopolised industries being disrupted by startups - and how this was achieved.

My experience as a developer in London right now is that there is a huge shortage of talented developers, compared to demand. You shouldn't have had trouble finding a well-paid job, especially if you have experience with a front-end framework like Angular.

What? Airbnb are re-branding to Air? That's a terrible idea.

The original Microprose game was awesome. The turn-based strategy version of this remake is more interesting to me than the FPS for sure.
There are some video trailers here: http://www.xcom.com/enemyunknown/videos

Agreed the title is too link-baity for my liking too. I should have probably edited that to something more appropriate before posting.

This looks pretty awesome, especially given the freemium option for initial testing.

Meme: An image, video, etc. that is passed electronically from one Internet user to another.
Seems pretty appropriate in this case.
It looks like a fun idea. How do the postcards look in printed form? I imagine quality is not great?

Are you talking about value to your business or value in terms of reselling domains?

Are you just wanting to analyse the user journeys? If so it sounds like something you could achieve with Google Analytics without having to pay for SAAS.

Nice little app. Would be handy to be able to edit the generated .dev URL to be different from the folder.

Metcalfe's law. This is really pretty valuable though. Not many people are likely to hang around on an empty social network no matter how great the UI.
Personally I'm pretty fed up with Facebook, but living abroad it is still quite simply the easiest way for me to stay in touch with a lot of my friends.

Wow. That's taking the idea of an MVP a little too far. Just goes to show worth doing a little research before handing over any real information to a new service like this.

Yep - I've been following a similar diet (GAPS) to improve some health issues and found that the first few weeks were tough because of sugar/carb withdrawal symptoms but it improved a lot after that.
I'd recommend the book Nourishing Traditions for anyone wanting to keep eating some carbs. It's based on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet which it's my aim to transition to eventually as it's a bit more relaxed about grains/pulses/dairy when prepared correctly.
