Thanks for your thoughts.

We've held off emailing invoices through the app so far as we want to come up with a very good interface for it. Something that doesn't require lots of customization and mail merge handling, but is flexible as well.

But it's great to hear there's demand for this feature!

This would be great for canada but then what after they come to canada. Will they tell the budding entrepreneurs of the 50%+ personal income tax that they will have to pay as Canadians?

This is lame and not HN-worthy because the use cases are almost zero.

0. Premature optimisation is the root of all evil
1. Approximately zero big sites use ruby
2. Of large sites, very few would actually care that much about tiny on-wire messaging optimisation since other elements are far more significant to bandwidth use.
3. On-wire messaging in binary destroys transparency, which means PITA debugging and wasted programmer and API-using developer time. Programmer time is far more important than computer time or a few bytes of bandwidth in most developed nations.
4. You have to pay for the binary serialisation with additional client-side code, which means you've actually gone backwards until you've communicated enough that the delta between JSON and binary format message sizes have outgrown this initial load time penalty.
5. Initial load time penalties are often more important than subsequent use, since generally this is the only time client bandwidth (the only side of the bandwidth equation relevant to performance in 99.99% of cases) is going to be challenged to any serious level.
6. Refer to point zero.
GPS location tracking is one of the features we have in mind! Great to hear someone else is keen for it.

Something else that we haven't seen is better browser integration - some kind of bookmarklet that gives you a timer whatever site you're on in your browser. This would be good for web developers and other users that spend a lot of time working in the browser. What do you think of that idea?
This is interesting but from the wrong angle.

Instead, we need to have a wealth cap. No one in the world needs to have more than 10 million dollars in total wealth. Not just a 100% tax on income over that amount; I mean a 100% tax on appraised wealth over that amount.

The additional tax revenue is divided by the country's population size as a small, baseline income to every citizen. Everyone gets a small income.

The main reason for doing this isn't to punish the rich; no one can cry at having 10 million, inflation-adjusted. It's to deflate power. In 2007, the top 1% had 43% of the financial wealth; the next 4%, 29%. The bottom 80%, 8%.

The very concept of the billionaire is hedonistic and greedy. No one needs or deserves to have so much when others have so little. It's a bug in the system; a flaw in the design.

If you have a race and someone is 300 meters ahead of you, you can say, "Wow, great! That person must have trained hard and have a lot of talent." If someone is 40 kilometers ahead, you can say, "Wait, who took a taxi?" Some distance can be assigned to effort, skill and luck. But past that, it's indicative of a flaw in the system or a crime. Let's change that. It's time.

I liked WebOS and was enthused by the launch. I wanted to buy a device. I was in Taiwan, one of the world's consumer electronics centers. There were no devices. FAIL.

If you can't even distribute your product, then why bother building it? Seems like they spent so many years / so much money on R&D that their marketing failed.

I'm sorry but a forced-smile charismatic keynote (and that's being generous), even a very well presented one, cannot make up for the lack of global distribution. The US is not relevant as a leading consumer electronics market anymore. You need to either be global, or go to Asia.
No, sound is just one of the issues I enumerated above (which is just a subset of a much larger list of things that you can't do on mobile Safari that you can in desktop Safari).

The big issues holding back game development are the rendering ones. A simple 2D scroller in HTML5 will be dog slow on an iPad, and will likely crash it withing a minute if it does anything interesting. The equivilent game ported to native code will run fast, and won't use even a fraction of system resources.

I think Google+ is much more ambitious than just the release of a new product. Google+ is a larger effort to unify and integrate all their products using a social glue layer that will change how you interact with and think of Google. The attempt at a single design aesthetic across all their properties is part of this initiative. The vision is actually quite dramatic and is a reinvention of the whole company, I think Google+ reflects that and is a perfect name.
We've been using Harvest for years for this. What is your advantage over them?

Excellent example. On my system, Chrome12 will do 100 fish at 25-30 FPS, while FF5 chugs along at 7-10fps.

Neither is particularly good, but the Chrome one is at least watchable.
>dns depends also on static ips.

Not really, there's dynamic DNS. My home connection has a dynamic (well, semi-static) IP, so I use a dynamic DNS provider and a small monitoring utility to auto-update the IP when it changes.

>Just because you can understand someone's line of thinking doesn't mean you think like that.

But when you make assumptions about what someone is thinking based on one action then you are not "understanding someone's link of thinking", you are projecting.

>The poster was making a joke based on a period when women were not considered capable of playing sports

If it was a joke then obviously I overreacted. The usual clues and context ("how does the parent usually talk/joke?") are missing in text, so it's easier to miss.

> I can laugh at a joke that puts someone or a group down and still not be a bigot.

Totally agree. Somethings are funny precisely because they're ridiculous.

>I think people who don't adjust their definitions of words/idioms to reflect modern connotations should stop holding grudges (or whatever the appropriate term is) and move on.

Not sure what you're addressing here.

Totally missed that you were joking here. Touché.
It's really hard to estimate how a product to be successful in Silicon Valley. Take Google+ example, what's so novel about it? Nothing, i must say. Twitter integrated with Disqus by your address book. But first they get good reviews, and use old tactic of invitation only system like gmail.

As a weak social creature myself, i find the Color app idea very interesting. I eager to find someone take photo in the place i am in. I constantly open and refresh if someone took but none i find. Why nobody is using it? I remember once showing the app and its idea behind to my friend and he also find it very curios and love it. But where are the users?

Press takes what it wants, don't rely on them. They may interest in your investment or office furniture or whatever they want. Press might dumb your app almost instantly, but you have to respond to criticism very early. However, i see no app updated since months i guess.

Here is the road map for a loving user: bucket all criticisms that made to Color. prioritize according to who made them, their power in press/social media. change UI, revamp and go to real events. go to all Geek conferences after parties, music festivals and shout your app. This app needs on the ground fight not online tech bloggers.

thank you
While Color has made a lot of mistakes, Bill Nguyen has accomplished more than 99.x% of entrepreneurs. He wanted something different from his product launch for whatever reason, maybe simply because he didn't feel like dealing with the madness of SXSW. It wasn't the best choice, but it's a far cry from him being clueless. I'm certainly in no position to question his abilities as an entrepreneur, and definitely not for one or two questionable decisions.

I agree, although it would be nice to compare a version where the baseline risk of death is partialled out. It would be really nice to see when the line for a particular cancer flattened out, indicating a person's prospective risk after n years was no greater than baseline.
Not a bad article, however:

"Throw on the cost of a small apartment and a used car, and you've arguably got all you could want: health, friends, and intellectual exploration."

"Arguably" is the key word here. I, for one, want a helicopter and a beer spa.
Currently, in terms of features, Harvest are obviously way ahead. Our goal is to improve on the time tracking process, which is what we feel is lacking for serious multi tasking freelancers. At the moment this means a sweet interface, and in the future, predictive tracking based on your work/location/history. It was a struggle to launch this base product knowing that there is currently no 'killer feature', but we're hoping that getting feedback early will help us nail it.
I'm not sure how many domains you handle, but in my case I have less than 10 domains so I pay $36 yearly + 8 per domain transfer from GoDaddy (or $14 as you mentioned). With one click you get stuff like Google Apps or Heroku setup for you.

After dealing with registrars for a long time I've realized that paying extra $5 per domain per year is totally worth it if you don't have to deal with companies like GoDaddy.

I'm not familiar with the Amazon service, but if it's $1 per domain per month then you'd save $0.7 for every domain using DNSimple.

EDIT: I should link to another HN discussion on the subject: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2753471. One comment that resonates by jbyers: "Read your registrar's terms. See if you still want to save that $6 a year".
Well, that explains a lot. Every time I attempt to accomplish something on Facebook, one of two things happens: (1) the interface has changed in some way or (2) the feature is broken. Just last week, every "Load More" link was broken in Google Chrome (but worked in Firefox). The week before, I wasn't able to upload photos repeatedly failed, but the iPhoto integration worked fine.

Agile development is great, but Facebook is a mature product: I wish they would keep the breaking to internal test builds.
The text is illegible against a good number of the background images they've chosen (at least on a mobile browser). That doesn't seem like a good advert for a design team, or am I missing the point?
I don't want an apology on behalf of the very angry minority, not even close.

You may not want one, but you deserve one.

It's sad to see that even without the visibility of the mob amplifying itself in public, you still get a private lynching of sorts... Perhaps the same people who sent those emails can come out of the woodwork now and apologise. That'd be big of them.

Thank you for wanting to contribute to the community and giving a gift to people who were not confident of their CVs and resumes. I'm sure you were able to help at least one person drastically change their CV for the better.

Can you elaborate on your "edge" when you worked as a recruiter with a tech background?
I know this wasn't a pity post, and that you're not looking for an apology, but I just have to say, I'm a bit disappointed that some portion of the community interpreted took time out of their busy day to give you flack for an act of kindness, when you specifically set things up in a way to show that your intentions were altruistic.

Your original post was classy, as was this follow-up. Well done, sir.

Flubit: The $5k side-project that became a $4m startup
You've got a nice design, and the functionality might be about right for someone with limited requirements, but I think your price seems a bit high.

For example, FreeAgent Central provides all you do and much more for $20 per month

http://www.freeagentcentral.com/pricing

If you want to just provide a very simple and easy time tracking system with limited invoicing that's great for people with limited needs, but I don't think you've quite hit the right price.

Also, you don't mention multi-currency, is this limited to just US $, with no support of sales taxes (either manually or automatically calculated), etc?

A nice article. It's a shame that people misunderstood your intentions regardless of how clear you were. I'd say you deserve an apology.

It always amazes me how people will actually take time out of their day to personally abuse someone. Great response post and best of luck with your recruiting!
I think you have to write a post like that with such a statement even if it's not true. He deserved and should want an apology.

Even if he was trying to be a bad guy why bother sending hate mail? And the guy trying to get him fired was particularly strange.
I find it boring to just copy the code, so I often tend to introduce small variation: change variable names, change the order of parameters, the order of instructions... that way it's less tedious and I feel I understand better the original code.
Every community has idiots. The ones who emailed you can be easily dismissed as fools, but the guy who phoned your company went too far and owes you an apology and explanation. Stuff like that can seriously affect peoples lives and is totally unnecessary.
I am such a facebook noob. When I think of facebook design, all that comes to mind is walls of light blue text on white and pages and functionality that I find difficult to navigate.

What am I missing?

(I did that reloading background image thing back in 99 if I recall, but you don't find my valuation at 20 gazillion dollars. :( )
I am sorry that members of the community treated you shabbily.
Hats off to you, OP for not having gotten discouraged by the hate. Rock on.
1. Unfortunately, one of the consequences of anonymity is that it allows people to not be responsible for their actions. That's endemic to any anonymous forum; the only thing that varies is the level and amount of abuse. Anonymity has its advantages, but this is an inescapable disadvantage.

2. People's reading comprehension aren't perfect, or even all that great. People -- myself included -- often seem to miss points being made in discussions and subsequently leap to conclusions that are usually a result of some combination of their own mood, biases, and prejudices.

3. I personally don't see anything wrong with you doing recruiting work here -- so long as you advertise it clearly as such and make it entirely opt-in. i.e., there are monthly posts on HN for people looking for work (freelance and otherwise), and as long as you were clear and asked them ahead of time if they were interested, it shouldn't be a problem. That's just my take on it though, others here may have some strong aversion to recruiters or something.

You do have a lot of value to offer here, you just have to be careful about that line between offering value and taking advantage -- just as everyone else does here.
Keep an eye out for future posts on what I think is drastically wrong with the recruitment industry.

In a nutshell, I worked as a developer for a number of years and two key factors seem to have made a drastic difference:

1. Practical industry experience. I understand the full software development lifecycle. I know what it's like to work on boring, unchallenging projects and I like to think know what get's people excited about going to work in the morning.

2. I'm self-aware. I know our industry is universally hated by clients and candidates alike. I understand exactly why our industry has a terrible reputation and I actively conduct my business in the opposite manner to what you may have come to expect from recruiters. I don't 'key word match', money is not my primary focus, I don't try and shoe-horn candidates into roles that won't interest them and when it comes to clients I find out everything I need to know at the beginning and I try to be as unintrusive as physically possible throughout the process.
It's funny how when you're working on something every day you can miss such gaping oversights. Yes - foreign currencies (including Bitcoin) are supported, and you can create multiple customized taxes which are automatically calculated and totaled for the invoice - but there's no indication of that on the home page. An important point.

Regarding price, you may well be right. I'd be lying if I said we weren't testing the waters on price, so it's good to hear some explicit thoughts on the matter.

Which is tougher: pricing higher now for the future features or starting low and having to raise prices (which nobody likes) later?

Thanks for your input.
