May be we shouldn't time cap it. May 'until' they prove themselves would be more appropriate.

Re:YC fellowship, whats in it for YC? on Sunday July 26, 2015 @03:06PM (#9951896)
Agreed, I like the way they have embedded startup mentality within itself, you dont see this with many other VCs.
Re:YC Fellowship on Monday July 20, 2015 @05:16PM (#9919152)
I am in a similar boat, I need some time to work on my project and introspect on the actual product before I can even think about growth not to mentioned growth on steroids is months/a year away. I was targeting for YC16 or later, but I still applied thinking YC community may help with the feedback and vendors (its a hardware project/startup), and overall pointing me in the correct direction.
Re:What if Apple bought Tesla? on Tuesday February 18, 2014 @02:04AM (#7256805)
Apple does have interest in cars. Last year Apple patented Car Dashboard touchscreens. http://mashable.com/2013/07/18/apple-car-dashboard-patent/
Re:What if Apple bought Tesla? on Tuesday February 18, 2014 @02:03AM (#7256802)
Totally possible, it might be for the battery or for may be its not buying but just sharing of technology. For. e.g. give battery technology and take dashboard technology.
Re:Ask HN: How do you do your To-Do list? on Friday December 27, 2013 @12:52PM (#6971686)
Same here, I have tried various approaches, but couldn't settle on any. I loved the idea of bullet journaling. I am doing something similar, glad to put name to its face :)
Out of curiousity, why would you not use input type="email" instead?
Valid points, but instead of complaining, we need to understand why these trends are coming back? For. e.g. back in a days hit counter were a sign of credibility and popularity, popups are to grab user's attention (there is no excuse to auto play video!) same way twitter followers are displayed to show how popular the user is, popups and modal screens are used to say this is a different context (per say). Even though they are misused just for the sake of a developer doing 'cool stuff'. We should figure out is there more creative way to address these ?
Re:How We Built eBay’s First Node.js Application on Friday May 17, 2013 @05:40PM (#5726829)
I still dont get it, sounds like: 'look! ebay employees are also dabbling with node'. What did you actually build? Is it your hackathon project 'Talk' that you build on node, or was it something else?

Re:Ask HN: Who built XMLHttpRequest at Microsoft in 1999? on Monday April 29, 2013 @04:31PM (#5628505)
Ok, relax, I am sorry, I haven't done that much bad karma in life. Here is to point out that, everything is inevitable but we must still give credits to those who has brought it up to us, sometimes in faster way and sometimes bolder ways.
Re:Ask HN: Who built XMLHttpRequest at Microsoft in 1999? on Monday April 29, 2013 @02:24PM (#5627797)
Yeah, dont credit Apple for ipod, iphone or ipad, dont credit Mark Zukerberg for social networking, Bill Gates to bring philanthropy to main stream, a government to find the terrorist of Boston attacks, It was all inevitable!

WTF! Thats exactly the same as SixthSense, the gesture inteface by MIT labs (they decided to be open). Google have no right to patent this.
