Ask HN: How to Deal with Agile Card Scope Creep
Hello everyone,

I have a coworker that whenever he reviews anyone's merge request, he comments about fixing other things that are related to that MR.

For example, if I pull a card from Trello and it says something like 'Disable selecting future dates in Peferences', after you code it and submit, he will add 'I think you should also fix this for all calendars in the app'

Is that appropriate to require in an Agile environment? I could see how that is being flexible and responding to change, but I lean toward it should be a separate card to include all inputs instead of extending the current card.

I'm new so I was hoping to get y'alls opinions on this. Thanks!

UK move copying design from a civil offense to a criminal offense
http://www.dezeen.com/2013/05/02/uk-to-criminalise-deliberate-copying-of-design/
In contrast to the article posted, others are trying to learn from tech startups and bring their lessons into the design world. Ben Van Berkel of UNStudio who have designed the BMW Museum as well as hundreds of other awesome projects are closing down their design office and relaunching it open-source. He is also teaching at GSD(Harvard) on the same topic. Will be interesting to see what comes of these changes, but it reminds me of the music industry in more ways than one...
How emailsherlock.com gets its info?
http://www.emailsherlock.com/
I recently registered an domain with obfuscated contact info (except for my name) at Gandi. Then proceeded to create a email account (also using Gandi's email pack) which I used to create an account at Golden Frog VPN service. I also used it to create an account at metafilter.com and stopped there for lack of time.

Today, just a few days after the domain registration, I received a standard phishing scam email. It's interested that I have only used this email at Gandi, Golden Frog and MetaFilter and somehow emailsherlock.com knows about it and I received a phishing scam. Even Google does not have any hits on that email address except for the emailsherlock.com XML file.

I feel I can't trust Gandi/GoldenFrog/Metafilter OR they have been hacked. Any ideas?

Disruptive Innovation: Anticipating Effects of the Single Serve Coffee Market
http://www.scaa.org/chronicle/2012/07/06/disruptive-innovation/
A great article talking about the increased tension between quality and convenience that the single serve market is introducing, and the potential inevitability of single serve erasing the divide between the two.<p>The closest I come to being religious is in how I go about selecting what coffee I brew and how I go about brewing it (locally roasted, fresh ground beans in a french press). I often spend the night at my brother's place when we are heading out for a long-weekend bike trip, and am perpetually <i>fascinated</i> by the convenience of his Keurig (http://www.keurig.com/brewers/special-edition-brewing-system) and inescapable draw that convenience affects on me.<p>As somebody who is downright unreasonable when it comes to skimping on quality coffee, I think the author nails it when he highlights the threat that increasing quality of K-cups pose to cafes selling single cups. A fundamental truth when it comes to brewing coffee is that to get the best cup, you have to grind your beans directly before you brew. This is unassailable, right? But what happens if K-cups whittle down the difference in quality between their method and fresh ground in blind taste tests? Should the perpetuity of this quality gap be dismissed?<p>The mass market is the mass market, but I wonder how many pro-sumers of coffee K-cups could one day lure away, despite their resistance on quality grounds.
The Curse of Taleo?
http://www.indeed.com/forum/gen/Career-Advice/Curse-Taleo/t438552/c2131676#c2131676
Anyone else working on this? My hunch is that HR i.e finding, on-boarding and developing people is critical in our now largely service based economies. (More so than say production, supply chain etc)

Hiring internally is popular but it seems the process of hiring externally is still not intuitive. I'm thinking about working on this as a side project and would be happy to discuss in more depth with anyone.

Specific CSS Reset, made with LESS
http://www.svenread.com/specific-css-reset/
Lately we needed to reset a specific area of an website. It was a webapp that would be integrated into other websites, so we needed to make sure no outside code would interfere with our CSS. And it bothered me to prefix the whole reset.css for every new webapp we would be building. So I took the latest CSS reset and did some strange LESS variable stuff, trying to find a way to make it work automatically (I am an lazy old bastard sometimes).

Ask HN: Your experience with startup advisors
My co-founder and I have been working on a startup for the last 6 months, and we are getting pretty close opening it up to a small group of users for the first round of feedback.

Both founders are technical and hands on, but neither has experience launching consumer web applications, and neither has the name or established following outside our immediate social circle to bootstrap a user base or a sizable following.

What we do have, however, are personal connections to some well-established entrepreneurs in this space who could be a great asset for our startup going forward, primarily in terms of introductions and advice.

What has been your experience turning a personal acquaintance into an advisor? What in your opinion would be an appropriate relationship "structure" with such an advisor, i.e. what are the typical terms? Should it be more formal or informal? I know it depends on how well you know the person, so I am just trying to get an overall sense for what I should expect and some obvious no-no's.

Looking forward to your comments. Thank you.

Please Note: If this is uncool to make a post like this then just write a comment saying so and I'll delete this post if enough people don't like the idea.

So basically my startup needs to hit 25 Fans on Facebook so we can do direct emailings within Facebook along with getting some other bump/upgrade of our companies Facebook page. My partners have asked me if I know anyone on Facebook and I just don't know many people.

So long/short - if you are on Facebook and don't mind helping out a struggling startup, please fan our page!
