News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Don't have a 6 month runway. Have a lifetime runway. Just keep making and launching things till something has significant traction.

You can only do this with an income. Or it will all come crashing down in six months.

Realistically, your current project will fail. Plan instead t launch 10 things in the next five years.

Put that money in the bank.

I'm not a believer in this sort of stuff but this is so cool.

This isn't correct. It's obviously a revolutionary change.

Re:The single most important criteria when replacing GitHub on Wednesday June 06, 2018 @03:21PM (#17250199)
"out of the trap we now find ourselves in."

The anti Microsoft panic about GitHub feels childish and pedantic.

Perhaps if there was some evidence post acquisition of Microsoft trying to do unpalatable things then there might be room to complain.

But just to knee jerk advocate leaving GitHub because you are a Microsoft hater lacks credibility and comes across as whining and silly.

Oh god, the horror of installing an OS from floppy.

I thought YC said #1 failure reason for startups was cofounder conflict?

Unknown source.

The Trump policies are those of the democratically elected leader, which means it's the will of almost the majority of Americans that there should be such travel restrictions.

Seems a strange and disturbing choice that the US public has made but their willl should be respected.

Democracy provides for people to vote out the leadership if they don't agree, although the Google seems to suggest trump is currently looking good for reelection.

The Facebook controversy will pass

In time everyone will forget. People who delete their accounts will go back.The reason is because the people who use Facebook -- your mom and dad, aunt and uncle, grandma and cousins, don't read the tech press, don't care and won't stop using it.So it's a good time to buy Facebook stock when everyone realises in fact this isn't the end of Facebook.Online protests are weak, controversy passes in...

I can think of no group more worthy of sneering and derision than politicians.

Let us be clear: politicians are ignorant fools who have the power to legislate upon matters they have no understanding of, and are happy to make politically expedient policy decisions that are not wise.

These fools have done little to nothing to earn more than a sneer.

Respect is earned, and cannot be demanded, unless of course one is a politician.

The sad, inevitable fate of the Internet

It's starting to look like the Internet Everywhere will become a tightly government controlled, tightly government monitored network, without neutrality, with a small number of companies in primary control. That future if already here in many ways, and over time. Those trends will accelerate. Very sad.

Re:Ask HN: An API to store/retrieve JSON? on Friday September 29, 2017 @11:46PM (#15371105)
Where do you plan to access it from? Do you mean server or cloud software? Have you searched google - there are large numbers of such applications.

Question has too little context, what is your interest, to build applications with it, or build it? On what platform?

Ask HN: Can there be a separate hobbyists network?

Some network not controlled by governments, for people who want computing old style, before the web became a locked down government spied on and controlled surveillance system.Sure it will be crap, limited, probably back fence to back fence, but at least if would feel Free.How could such a thing be done?
