Ogden, UT, but soon Bay area (again).

Developer / business guy with deep domain expertise in online video / live video (ESPN, CNET, Engadget, Justin.TV), and I'm looking for someone who's technical and interested in creating cool tech.

My skills are Node.JS, Backbone.js, Redis, Quartz Composer.

Looking for someone else to work on my startup.

I'm working on creating a way for anyone to create TV quality video without a TV quality budget. I have a product that's about a month old and has 2 customers with $10k in revenue. It's a way for TV stations to take Facebook posts and show them on TV. The goal is to modernize the broadcast industry into using web tools, then give those same web tools to anyone and enable them to create high quality video content. There's an even broader vision we can talk about if you're interested.

Currently, I'm committed to this part time, with the expectation that I'll be going full-time within the next 6 months. I'm definitely willing to collaborate remotely, but would like to meet any cofounder in person. I'd prefer bay area, but as long as someone can relocate within the next 6 months, I'd be willing to consider anywhere.

I'm @randallb on twitter, or google me. Randall Bennett.
After your advise, we've added a video showing it in action (http://vimeo.com/32852547) and we linked to it from the project page (http://chucktestar.com/).

I'm not a huge fan of the idea of paying people for bone marrow, but "poor people won't be able to afford bone marrow" is fairly irrelevant as an argument. Poor people already cannot afford to pay for any of the costs associated with a bone marrow transplantation. You have to destroy the patient's immune system to allow the donated blood cells to grow - which means at minimum, if everything goes very well, six weeks in a high-tech isolation room, being treated with extremely expensive antivirals, antibiotics and antifungals, getting all sorts of expensive diagnostics, highly paid specialists taking care of your around the clock, etc.

The last number I heard was, I believe, about 100,000 Euro if everything goes well. If things go wrong, you're looking at the ICU for ~10,000 Euro a day for a month or two, or maybe ten years worth of intense, state-of-the-art immuno-suppressive treatment...

Calculating the ROI on Cloud – Part 2
Uh, isn't the core function of "ordinary" (as opposed to research, and university on-campus libraries) libraries to loan out books? So that people don't have to buy a book just to be able to read it? As long as literature isn't free, it seems libraries have a role to fulfill.

But then again, I think even that usage of libraries is declining, perhaps because time previously spent reading books is now spent on other pleasures (surfing the Internet, for instance). I don't have data to back up this hunch, though.
What store do you use? (UK?)
I do too, when I'm speaking aloud. In my experience, though, when writing, the actual degree is listed(PhD, MD, EdD, JD, DDS, etc.), rather than the more generic "doctor".

edit: Just checked; the AP and Reuters style guides both seem to recommond only using Dr for Medical Doctors. That's probably where my memory comes from.

s/significant/vocal and you're closer to the mark. The right wing party here routinely attempts to shift blame of every conceivable problem to the fact that there are lots of foreigners living here. It's not that there aren't real issues (e.g. abuse of asylum rights), but they tend to be blown vastly out of proportion.

Since donors, once added to the database, can save anyone in need who's a match, it doesn't affect the outcome whether HNers join to save Gupta or a faceless stranger.

I guess what's upsetting you is that a community member makes people care enough to get involved, while faceless strangers don't make us care enough to get involved. This seems like the sort of position people realize is incoherent and unsustainable, once they analyze it.
I've been thinking about going on a similar path. I've already built up the buffer, but I'm not quite sure the best way to find consulting relationships. What did you do?

Team Text International
I lived in Italy for a number of years. The company I worked for was international so English was a requirement, but the level of english spoken by many was rudimentary, which made it difficult to communicate and while the words may have been understood, all too often, the meaning and nuance was lost. Confusion ensued, productivity suffered.

Self-published and awesome
I built review site ten years ago and sold it.

It was profitable within 6 months off organic traffic and lead gen. Approximate revenue by year: $10k, 40k, 70k, 100k, 150k, 250k, 500k, 750k, 1.5M, 2.5M.

Built entirely while working for another startup (unrelated), first 3 years I was in graduate school, year 4 I was a product manager for another startup. Year 5 I finally took the leap to run it full-time.

I was the sole owner, never had more than 7 employees, and I sold it for a bit over $10M (ttm revenue was around $700k at the time).

Leading up to launch, I typically worked 10-7 at my day job, then wrote my code from 8p-1a M-F (20 hrs) and all day on the weekends (20 hrs), so 40 hrs per week. During school, my wife handled the sales part-time (16 hrs/wk), and I probably spent 8 hrs a week on it fixing bugs, implementing ad deals etc. In Year 4, I spent ~16 hrs a week on it outside of my day job (misc. tech upkeep, link building, PR, etc.).

It's definitely doable, but your SO needs to be on-board because you'll be taking the time away from them. Or do it before you have a SO to worry about.

1) This means no oversight, which means that abuse is unbounded. Your idea would result in an eventual scandal when one detected abuse resulted in thousands more coming to light. Really, what you're saying is that wiretaps should be unlimited, because that's what a lack of oversight implies.

2) You live in a fantasy world. Sure, in a perfect world, agencies would be smart, but in a perfect world we wouldn't be debating which rights are most important, because a perfect government wouldnt be taking them away.

In our real world, 1000 wiretaps probably mean 2000 or more weeks of wasted government employee time.

3) Ugh. Let's try again. Why is freedom of speech so important? What can you realistically say that restricted speech does to you?

4) This is just dumb. Your argument here is that everyone is presumed guilty until a wiretap proves otherwise. That's not how our legal system works.

As for your "just don't give them money", why don't you try that and let me know how it goes.

5) You can't be serious. How are concerns about governmental privacy invasions not about the government?

This week I took a trip to the ER in an ambulance because I had a seizure at my new day job after one too many late nights working on the side project.

Some rare problem with App Store today. I've already submitted a request to fix this. You may try a bit later. For many users it works fine.
I started http://www.justunfollow.com as a way to learn Google Appengine. Sent a tip to TechCrunch, @arrington seemed to like it and profiled it. It started making profits but I did not quit. I finally had to quit after about 1 year of this product going live because it started making me more money in 2 months than my day job was paying me for an entire year!

I quit my job around 9 months ago. Finding too much of time on hand I subsequently started work on a new app, got my friend to join me and we got into Start-up Chile. It's been a great journey but I'm so glad that I did not quit the moment we were profitable. It has taught me the most important thing you need to learn while starting up, being efficient.

I always suggest everyone who has a product to not quit until it is virtually impossible to keep up with a day job. You then become a time management champ and know how to do more with less :)

Is English your native tongue? He quoted me and then claimed a "reasonable" person would be offended. I pointed out that he's a poor choice to make this call. I don't think a reasonable person would be offended at what I said at all. Only an irrational perl fanboy.

>But the real problem for HN isn't bad trolls like you, it is fools like me that feed them.

I'm not sure "troll" means what you think it does. It doesn't mean someone who has points you don't like but have no good answer for.
Features of credit card security
Okay, but I think you're missing my point. There's no reason it has to have a maximum length, but the database has the capability, so as a developer you feel an irrational pressure to put some number in there. Of course any maximum is going to be a problem for someone, whether it's 8 or 128, but you don't think about that-- you just put something reasonable like 20 and move on.

RIM Takes $485M Hit Over Unsold PlayBook Tablets
I wanted to do this so jumped in and read the comments to this post to try to get some ideas on how to do this. They made me a bit depressed: Most people achieved this while working as a consultant (i.e. flexible hours, etc.), not as a big company employee, like me. Also from what I gather, many data points come from young people, unencumbered with a family life and kid(s).

So, my more specific question is: Has anybody done this while picking up your kid from daycare at 5pm, having family business until 8:30pm and working at a day job. Id this impossible?

I think the viable alternatives in this case are trying to earn money from blogs and mobile apps.

I have built two startups while working fulltime and raising 2 kids. The first startup failed once my co-founder left town, after the business model and app were about 90% completed. My 2nd/current startup is http://targetmobi.com.

My schedule M-F for the last 3 years has been:
7am wakeup, feed kids etc. 9am - 5:30 work fulltime. 5:30 - 10pm family time. 10pm - 1am Startup time!. Yes thats 5-6 hours of sleep! Trying to do a startup on the side with children has been very challenging for me. Maybe its the biz models I am trying to tackle. Maybe building simple iphone/ipads apps would have had a better ROI.

Understanding Risk in a strategic context
You can't communicate arbitrary information faster than the speed of light.

However, you can interpret that the propagation of a collapsing a quantum state to be faster than the speed of light. Or, as predetermined hidden variables that interact with observation in spooky ways. But, as there does not seem to be a way to test the differences between those interpretations it's not really a meaningful scientific question.

Ask HN: How has your life changed after selling your startup?
I just saw a Ask HN post asking about founders who built profitable startups while still holding a day job. While I qualify for that, the comments I read had a lot of selling out stories but none of them seem to give much info on what most of the founders are doing after selling out.

If you built a startup and have sold it, how has life been after that? Did you start another or have you retired? Do you like it now or would you prefer the pre-acquisition life of yours?
