A few thoughts for the online interface: 1) When dragging the time selection slider (below the stage chart), it doesn't move if your cursor moves out of the vertical bounds.

2) It wasn't apparent to me at first that you could toggle variables on the legend -- in fact I didn't even notice the legend right away (maybe make it a bit bigger, and a bit more obvious that it's toggle-able?)

3) The legend changes between vertical stack and inline based on how wide the window is, I'd prefer if it was vertical stacked all the time.

I dig it!

Looks like it would be easy to scrape, grab the src attribute from the video element.

We're only hearing one side, has anyone else questioned how true this story is?

Started texting someone... they told me their first name and I was able to easily find their phone number + address from there. :o

Exactly. I started on a side project to redo the notifications screen (with a chrome plugin) but then other side projects took over :(

I made this more as an exercise in rails (started learning last week), but people seem to like it, so here's to pulling all nighters and building things!

(This isn't my startup however, also working on that...)

Re:Ask HN: How to pursue an unadvertised/nonexistent internship? on Sunday February 20, 2011 @10:35AM (#2242044)

Ask in person and keep on asking.

Be flexible in what you're willing to accept too, the idea is to get your foot in the door and either learn straight out, or make connections with people you can learn from.

Also make sure you're ready with the resume and everything else.

Re:Getaround: Peer-to-peer car sharing and car rental startup on Sunday January 16, 2011 @02:50PM (#2110034)

I hope they have a very good screening process... the fact that you have the key at some point means > go to locksmith and make duplicate > steal things from it a month later after a few others have rented it

I would prefer personally approving people who want to rent my car...

Those situations depend highly upon context, at least they feel like it, so...
I would rather have a chat service where it connected you to girls to answer questions, kind of like KGB but for dating.

Interesting features would be: taking/sending video of the environment, so you can be walked-through how to make small talk. * an emergency call me back service, so you can pretend to have an important call, and either ignore it, or get feedback on what's happening in real-time
