Re:Ask HN: What $500-2500 product improved your 2022 on Friday January 06, 2023 @02:42PM (#34279848)
Ubiquiti Dream Router and a couple of WiFi 6 Access Points. Excellent WiFi is so underrated and not as common as we might think. It has allowed me to work comfortably in all corners of the house as well as outside when the weather is nice, all without skipping a beat during calls. Highly recommend setting up a proper WiFi network and looking into this more prosumer level hardware which has been rock-solid for me.
Re:Tell HN: YC will help you find a co-founder on Tuesday July 06, 2021 @01:01PM (#27751260)
Presumably, the matches are compatibilities across the entire sample size. Meaning 1 founder can have multiple potential matches.

Unfortunately, that adds another pocket to be paid, thus making slim margined goods unaccessible at traditional brick and mortar.

There are many 24hr turn PCB fab houses too. Usually costs an extra 150-200RMB for that service, which by western standards is still an absolute steal.
Re:In San Francisco and Rooting for a Tech Slowdown on Tuesday March 08, 2016 @01:28PM (#11247302)
Well, I think the ones that were around before the tech influx will certainly be able to ride out slower times better than the restaurants/services that have come up as a direct result of the influx of tech folk.

Wait, what?

Re:The Last Man to Beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. Still Regrets It on Saturday April 04, 2015 @07:42PM (#9322602)
True, but like you pointed out, it might not have made a difference as he proceeded to go on a drinking binge and be bitter about the whole situation. Perhaps if he kept his head on straight, he would've still had a moderately successful career in boxing.

I couldn't agree more with true greats are persistent individuals. He simply let his emotions get the best of him.

I agree with most of what you've pointed out here. It seems that after you read, you realize that it's more of a story on execution and not the launch per se.

The way they were able to start small and rapidly iterate on what their customers needed 'now' is what kept users on the platform, and thus word began to travel amongst founders.

Hi, I'm Tony, Co-founder at Classlerts. I'm a 5th year Mechanical Engineering major at UC Merced. One of my best friends/co-founder introduced me to startup culture years back and I've been hooked ever since. Looking to meet new and interesting people tomorrow and know it'll be a good time. I'll be there tomorrow morning and am up to grab some coffee with anyone before the event begins. Reach me at [email protected]. Thanks.

Anyone going to the Dropbox/Weebly after party at The Parlor in SF tomorrow?

Ask HN: Startup School Afterparty?

Missed my opportunity to attend what is now a sold out after party for startup school. I was wondering if anyone had an extra whether for sale or willing to let me take you out for dinner in return for the favor. I'm really excited to attend startup school and it would be awesome to head over to the after party. If you can help me out my email is [email protected] Thanks!

How'd you come across one? I am also attending startup school and am interested in going to the afterparty.
Re:Myspace previews complete redesign on Monday September 24, 2012 @08:56PM (#4567938)
I completely agree. Bands have never left Myspace, and it seems finally Myspace will try to really incorporate bands/DJs/Marketing campaigns into the social network. I imagine monetization would come rather easily with this as well.
Re:How YC rejection opens more doors for you & your startup on Wednesday May 02, 2012 @03:39PM (#3920755)
Exactly. Upon rejection there are two options: give up, or just push harder.
Very, Very clever. Definitely going to give this a try.

This is so cool! Like to see that even though they were rejected from the app store they still went ahead and found a way to make their idea a reality.
