arst829··on Wesleyan University should open source its budget
This is awesome. I'd love to see Wesleyan (or another college do this)
arst829··on Show HN: Community to connect startups & VCs by helping each other
Thanks for the reply. I think the advantage would be that this would be a way to build a relationship with investors before you're ready to raise money, while AngelList seems to focus on connecting entrepreneurs and investors once they are already raising money. It also would provide a venue for investors to broadcast the needs of their current portfolio, which AL doesn't seem to do.

Does that make sense?

arst829··on Steve Jobs' Best Quotes
Perhaps the most pertinent to startup life: "“It’s more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy.”
arst829··on Adobe acquires EchoSign
EchoSign is pretty awesome - we've used it extensively and it speeds of contracts, legal stuff, etc immensely. I hope Adobe doesn't mess it up.
arst829··on A Day in the Life of the Modern San Franciscan
Funny that I should read about this on Facebook, then try to post it on HN. Way too close to home.
arst829··on Ask HN: Is there an "AirBnB for Conference Rooms / Event Facilities"?
Yes - check out www.liquidspace.com . Not sure if they have coverage in Amsterdam yet, however.
arst829··on Announcing The End Of Blind Link Sharing
Really?
arst829··on Ask HN: Is my co-founder not suitable for a startup?
Time spent does not always equal output. Some of the best startup founders in the world can do more in a day than another startup founder can do in a week. It's all about what they produce, not how they produce it.

If your partner meets or exceeds your goals of what should be created, then you shouldn't worry. However, if he is truly slowing things down, then that's a problem that needs to be explored further.
