Obsidian Ocelots?
One of the stats is your website says "27m sq. ft. roads stabilized". What does 27m mean here? Is it 27 million? I first read it as 27 meters square feet, which is confusing.

Keep crushing it!

Alternatively, get a Kindle reader (or use the Kindle App). With an Amazon account you can read the first chapter of (most) ebooks for free.

He was a student so he may not have had access to a credit card when he started the account. But yes, a credit card will have more protection.

Apparently SpaceX has a solution for that, too - launching hundreds of micro-satellites to bring low-cost Internet access (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/531994668608024576)
Short URLs are not just for the web - they are incredibly useful for sending links via broadcast SMS.
That $3k will get you an entry level, "assembled in the USA", Mac Pro.

My wife has the entry level 11in MBA with 2GB RAM. Limited RAM+limited disk space is a problem, even with the SSD.
Sure your long term target group is everyone, but you need to start with one niche group. Your partner can get the ball rolling in user recruitment. You should have a basic site up with your key product proposition and collect emails. - He can speak to different groups of people (a class of students, an interest group etc) to get them onboard in one go. - He can start doing business development - find marketing partners, sponsors, distribution partners, etc.
Re:Ask HN: Interviewing, what did I do wrong? on Sunday April 20, 2014 @01:56AM (#7616017)
It could be nothing to do with you. They are not looking at just you as a candidate, but several others at the same time. When interviewing, hiring managers look at a few factors including technical knowledge/competence, cultural fit and budget. You may fit all the requirements, but another candidate could have made a better overall impression.

It doesn't hurt to call the recruiter to get some feedback.

How are you doing your sales - one to one? It helps if you have some pilot customers who can give you some testimonials or referrals. You could offer the software for free for a charity or event (e.g. creating ID cards for volunteers).
It's the Klingons.
