Re:Refuse to be terrorized (2006) on Sunday July 17, 2011 @03:29PM (#2773965)
I am really amazed how the whole world wants to ignore one simple fact that until now costs us a lot of lives: (9/11 and many other terrorist attacks all over the world) There is a group of people (mainy Muslim)that want all: Jews, Americans, and "free" world countries to perish or convert the Islam (and if not pay special "Muslim" taxes) This is not a conspiracy and this message is played on national TV in many Muslim countries http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GvsNFWRbM0&feature=share what pisses me off is that most of the word ignores this completely and blames Israel and the US for it because of our foreign policy. What scares me most is that it seems to me like were back to the 1930s when Hitler was talking about killing most non Aryan races and the whole world not caring and doing anything about it. So wake the fuck up and realize that we do have a problem in hand, and it's not a joke many people have died and will continue dying terrorism is a world problem not only American, there were dozens of terrorist attacks outside the US, sorry even more then the US. Any ways wake up people and stop being scared of saying the obvious.
that is really creepy man, fail joke
Because I realized that telling people to jump head on into a startup as a co-founder usually doesn't work (it's like asking for a girl you just met lets get married), it's better to first test each other and see how we work part-time then once good things happen (funding, launching a solid site etc.) then he/she can decide to join full time.

Ask HN: Are You Interested in Solving a Really Complex Problem?

Hey HN, You are always amazing at helping me finding solutions for my startup so here is my problem tell me if anyone can help. I started a startup with 2 other doctors and we have been working for couple of months coming up with solutions to problems we think we can fix in consumer healthcare in the US. We have finalized something and it's very exciting. My issue is that I am a front end guy...

Re:Healthcare is broken, here is my attempt to fix it on Monday April 11, 2011 @10:02PM (#2435488)
No its not as the name suggest that will be to simplistic to solve the problem. I called it that way because I liked the domain. I sent you an email would love to hear what you have in mind.
Obviously.

Ask HN: After almost dying couple of times I want to revolutionize healthcare

Hey HN, First of all I wanted to thank you for inspiring a pivot based on this last post of mine that hit the FP on HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2312566 and thank you for the kind words. I was working on a social app like most of us do, and realized that social apps are a waste of time, there is nothing new or world changing about them. Facebook has kind of solved social already I...

I am a US citizen, my father is from the US, atleast that was on my side :)
I didnt want to go into all these little details and pull my medical file for it, just wanted to give the general idea of it is.
I am not like that at all, I gave my email below to show the product. I wanted secrecy because if I showed the product publicly people will know who I am because my name is all over the product and I just didnt want people to know certain things about my life (like physical abuse) so I prefer staying anonymous. I push my product all the time I dont believe in secrecy, stealth, etc for your startup.
for anyone who wants to know my startup or other things email me at [email protected], thank you.

Ask HN: I died 2 times, coma, learned how to walk again, code, now I need advice

I went through 2 aneurysms (I know unlucky), went through 2 brain surgeries, then got hit with mitral valve regurgitation which steamed from having endocarditis (rare virus that sits on the heart). Then was in a coma because of the aneurysm, when I woke up I needed to learn how to walk again. Before that I went through physical abuse, poverty, lived on my own (boarding schools, houses I rented...

Thank you for the feedback I agree, very good points. Yes I worked very hard and failed way to many times, I realized you have to be a nutcase to start a startup, I am just looking for another nutcase to help me out.
Of course you are right a smart guy should drill and ask lots of questions which I will be ready for. At this point were in a position that is solid, the product (consumer side) got good traction and the direction revenue wise is very solid (we generate 15K plus a month without trying to hard due to a small team). I posted this message as a message in a bottle type thing in hopes some magic happens. For me finding someone is worth more then raising a million dollars which I am not looking for at all for now.
hey thank you for responding. email me at [email protected] lets talk. we are based in rails hope thats fine.

Ask HN: Where could I find a co-founder that wants to change the world?

Hey HN, I am sick of the "quick buck" people, and people who want quick apps that dont change anything in our lifes. I am a front end developer/ui/ux designer with a very solid startup and a solid direction. We are bootstrapped and are already profitable. In order for me to move to the next level I need a very smart technical co-founder to help me solve some serious issues. This is not another...

there is the message is pretty simple everyone is building apps on top of facebooks data. Basically all these startups are just facebook with a twist, if you really want to make something good that has a chance to disrupt as much as facebook and twitter did you should start from scratch and invent a new category.

HN help: How could I find a co-founder for something with serious potential?

The actual product launched as a test only couple of days ago and got very good traction over 1000 UVs and 500 posts for only a 6 hour test. Its a new form of communication and has massive potential. Also we are profitable, the model has huge potential and I think its finally something that can get the traction that twitter and facebook got in its early days. I am a UI designer and I am weak...

Thank you for the feedback. Ive launched this couple of hours ago and were already getting a good amount of posts and hits, only issue is a lot of the posts are very racist and bizarre, I can add algorithms to classify certain content and build separate feeds for them so that people dont see that content on the main feed. As for interacting there are many cool things that can be done, do you have any ideas to get people to interact in a unique way?

Ask HN: I Coded/Designed This Site In 5 Hours, Do You Think It Has a Future?

You can visit the site at anonymous.thrsti.com, I wanted to build a very simple tool for people to have full freedom of speech and post things fully anonymously (we save server logs for now, I will change it this week though). Please tell me what you think and if this could become a full on product if I add cool features on top of it.Thank you.
