Idea Feedback: Dashboard of "metrics that matter" for SaaS startups
I'm thinking of morphing my project into a dashboard of SaaS-specific metrics. It will be like Mixpanel for financial data, showing things like:

* Churn
* Lifetime Customer Value
* Cost per Acquisition
* Lifetime Profit per Customer
* Customer Acquisition Cost Ratio
* Maybe even comparison to the aggregate of other startups?

I was inspired by Dave McClure's pirate metrics and essentially want to make Ryan Carson's SaaS spreadsheet http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AkxZrw3662U_dEhQa0Y4T3c5RU5mcGd6N0twYXhLZWc into a trackable, real-time dashboard.

I think HN is filled with target customers so I appreciate all the candid feedback.
HN Build This: iPad iPod Apps Data Syncing
My dad has a problem that I think many others will have also. He has bought an iPad after buying an iPod touch. His problem is, he has shopping lists data in some app on iPod touch but it won't get moved to his new iPad's same shopping list app.

He wants them to sync, or at least, if you've edited the same shopping list on both devices, take the newest version an sync time. I'm surprised Apple hasn't built this in; it sounds trivial enough that I think if I was an iPhone + Mac developer I'd be able to do this in an afternoon.

Since solving this problem will help many users I think this is an opportunity for someone/company to make some money. What do you think, will anyone be interested?
Ask HN: Is it realistic to apply late to YC?
We were quite unsure about applying, as our product was somewhat too vague. After crawling around it, we've finally got something interesting.

Nonetheless, we've realized YC has become more competitive and focused on life/physical sciences. As young international founders building a SaaS product, we've been wondering if it's even worth the time to apply.

I'd understand the "why not?" argument, but timing for a decent application is fairly considerable for us.

Ask HN: Forbid users from chosing their own passwords?
What if online services did not allow users to chose a custom password, but rather generated a reasonably entropic but easy to remember password/phrase?

One way to do it is with synthetic words or phrases that are easy to pronounce in English and optionally, a number or an underscore.

These easier to remember passwords would still be weaker than strong custom passwords, but would provide an overall better account security.

Ask HN: How do i make a form usable?
Okay, I built my own webpage, but i have a form where users fill in data (name, address, etc) and then they click a "submit" button.
I understand i need another language besides HTML and CSS to make the submit actually happen.
I've heard of javascript libraries such as Node.js and jQuery, though sincerely i have no idea if they are what i'm looking for.
What should i learn next in order to make my form functional?

What dictates the structure of funding
I have been reading Dick Costolo's Venture Deals and it got me thinking. Is the risk taken by the founders (which possibly span say about a years work to prototype/validate/market and get funded) so much greater than the 'first' employee to warrant 1/50 - 1/70th of the founder's equity. Would it be better if instead there was a rather bigger pool of founders. So not just the initial members, but also the group of say first 10 engineers..who share a larger chunk of the equity as much as 50% altogether in more equitable terms. Wouldn't that necessarily create a far better alternative for well established engineers to jump and take the risk

Ask HN: I'm 30, how to break in Product roles at tech company/startup?
I thought my entrepreneurial spirit and experiences trying to start businesses/build products, helping out at a University "startup course" (much imposter syndrome, yes) and my past in Project Management were gonna be enough to get a shot at a startup but I've been getting rejection after rejection.

Quick recap of my CV

- 3 years PM in Advertising. Strategy and management of the creative team

- 2 years working as Customer Support drone in Big Boring Company with very little room to move and change departments

- 1 year or so helping out at university Venture Lab where we do workshops and Pitch simulations for entrepreneurs and students (about 50-50).

- I did 2-3 projects that never took off and one app that gave me some satisfaction (someone bought it) but never even broke even. In that case I acted as a Product Manager and had 1 developer doing the work for me.

- I did CS50 from Harvard online and a Python course with MIT both on EDx, but I am not able to apply for a programmer job (which I think I would enjoy and might be a way to eventually turn into a technical PM)

I'm playing around with selenium and chromedriver building a bot that swipes on tinder based on certain parameters, but I don't feel like I could be considered for a programming job.

Web newspaper recreates paper newspaper
http://app.nytimes.com/#2013/12/05/nytfrontpage/large-companies-prepared-to-pay-price-on-carbon
Unfortunately the URL prolly requires a subscription, but if you can get a free trial give it a shot if only for a lesson I see in application design: Visicalc worked exactly like a paper spreadsheet, only better. The old NY Times interface (still accessible, I am sure) was perfectly sensible and somehow a PITA to this long-time reader of the paper version. The new app feels just like the paper version and I will now read about three times more every day.

Great design lesson, I think. (Sorry if every other on-line paper has the same app. <g>)

Data Context Interaction (DCI) in Ruby
http://dci-in-ruby.info
DCI (Data Context Interaction) is a new way to look at object-oriented programming. Instead of focusing on individual objects, the DCI paradigm focuses on communication between object. It improves the readability of the code, separates system behaviour from static domain concepts, and most importantly tries to represent people's mental models in the code. DCI-IN-RUBY.INFO is a project aiming to help all Rubyists become familiar with DCI.
Why BP Oil Leak is so difficult to stop?
We hackers are problem solvers. We like to solve problem. Now we have a problem of BP's oil leak. I hope I can have someone explain to me why this problem is so difficult so I can at least think about it. Is it difficult only because it is deep in the sea? Don't they need to put a pipe into the bottom of the ocean first? How come they can put the pipe in, but not the stopper? Is it because the pressure of the oil gushing? What if we just blog the well and bury the whole well out? I am not an expert on any of these. I don't have friends who are experts too. I just think we should use the 5 whys or some techniques to get to the root cause of the problem ... What do you think?

Could the HN hive-mind share lessons learned? and any gotchas to look out for?
