Ask HN: How VC funding works?
Hey HN, i am totally clueless about vc money and funding, maybe you can enlighten me.For example, TC reported that Kicksend got $1.8m funding. They are a some sort of a file sharing service. Even if they charge 10$/month, they would need 15,000 paying costumers that will subscribe for whole YEAR to just get the money back.How does it make sense? How much revenue is expected from a company that...

When will IE allow decent plugin development? Right now you need to jump through hoops, mess with c++ code, compile dll(s) and hope the user will actually install external exe. Insane.
Re:Startups should not use GoDaddy. Ever

Be incompetent, blame others, profit.
Host your site on a shared hosting, with another 1000 users, blame godaddy when it goes down.
Don't understand ssl, blame godaddy when you make mistakes.
GoDaddy are freaking excellent! for domains that is. All other services are crap, and if you bothered to actually check your facts, read some reviews, you would know that.

This is really awesome, even though i never bothered to follow any official design pattern yet still survived, and my code was efficient and easy to read. Memorizing 13 design patterns looks like an over kill unless you are developing the next OS and working in a 5000 developers team.

you fail to understand that javascript was meant to run inside a browser. inside any html page just add script tags and execute your script. you don't need a webserver to run javascript.

Re:Ask HN: is it possible to build large scale systems that are secure?
on Tuesday June 21, 2011 @02:40AM (#2677694)
false.
don't hire incompetent coders who don't know what they are doing. Security is easy, don't assume any input is safe, clean and verify before doing anything with it. Be aware of security issues and best practices. Ah yeah, don't let untrusted people access your db.

You need to consider that many users toady have iphones/ipads. session store will work only once and will require the user to relog each time.

looks cool, for price comparison this is awesome.
But, me and probably most serious people will prefer actual users reviews & benchmarks over prices comparison.

just block duplicate accounts, whoever is going through the trouble setting 10 fake accounts, won't be paying you any time soon.

Re:Start a startup? I am an undergrad student.
on Tuesday May 31, 2011 @02:01AM (#2601565)
usually student projects are of low technical quality (eg, what they teach you is useless in real world). So unless you got some other real life experience i would not bother.
