Ask HN: How do founders feel about testing a new form of company valuation?
Considering that the valuation's of many startups are derived from the number of users, I wonder what the view's of entrepreneurs are in regards to the change of development-indicators.

Lizard Squad seems to be just a bunch of attention seeking jerks. Taking down a system for the sake of gaining Twitter followers and retweets is not cool, and much less productive than what their potential has to offer

If you're not a wine enthusiast, this simply doesn't seem like a product worth anybody's time of day. However, it must be noted that this is an excellent idea for wine preservation. Just think about how great it must be to save an expensive bottle from needing quick consumption before it experience's the perils of too much oxygen.

I doubt it purely based on the fact that the movie was supposed to be released at the movie-profit climax of the year. If they really wanted to make money from it, they would have done it at any other point in the year and released it on the christmas date it just had cancelled

Honestly, if you're interested in helping people with algorithmic trading, the startup I'm working on right now would be perfect for you. Although the pay won't be nearly as great as it would be if you were to work in a big firm, the opportunity to use algorithmic trading while not having to submerge your conscious is something I find more important and it's viable.
