Coming from an investor, they're obviously looking for better terms. This is a somewhat biased perspective.

WeWork Golden Gate in this neighbourhood is an amazing co-working building, with 6 floors they're building out and affordable prices. With everything you'd expect from coworking (beer on tap, fast wifi, big conference rooms, etc) with private offices. We're based in there in Central Market and couldn't recommend it more.

We're trying to fix urban parking with Spot (starting in San Francisco), connecting homeowners with parkers when they're not using their spot.

They can drag to set their schedule or set it based on days and we let them start earning morning and do all of the legwork. Our parkers can open up the app and book a spot on an hourly basis instantly.

Croydon is really improving and there's actually a pretty cool surging tech scene there. As they have a lot of fibre, cheap commercial property, support from council and transport links. Not that I'm saying people should work in Croydon just yet as there aren't enough tech companies but there are quite a few medium sized ones and some startups.

There were no spam posts no the 5 accounts I've enabled so doesn't seem to effect everyone.

I would buy this as a little hand book. That'd be awesome.

Makes sense, lots of companies and founders are based in the city.

TransferWise is a great way to transfer money internationally with low fees.

Paypal blocked my card when trying to donate, won't start a conspiracy theory.

I saw some job postings on HN earlier that didn't talk about what the company does. This is key!

I went a really mediocre, boring restaurant yesterday that had a score of 98. Didn't change my mind on it.

They had a great team. I think it may have been too distributed. If they selected groups in one location and connected them with the right people it'd be interesting.

http://www.zaption.com does some of this

What a shame, I've been using Exec for ikea furniture and it was great. The cleaning service is incredibly expensive vs Homejoy which provide an incredible service.

This is the kind of comment that sums up where I dislike Hacker News. "Android Browser" means not Chrome for Android, so it must be a bit behind.

You shouldn't think of YC as an alternative to work. It's an accelerator, it should just accelerate what you're already doing. It's not the endpoint for a startup or non-profit. If you've already started a non-profit and would continue to either way then this could add a lot of value.

No one lives in a 1 bed. I share a 6 bed in castro and it's way more affordable per person.

Stripe, Balanced and WePay are all moving in the same direction. Also WePay and Crowdtilt were doing similar things at the start but WePay seems to be focused on their API.

Uber is 15% cheaper than cabs in the market's their in. So you get your phone charged, a bottle of water, a nicer car, a lower price, no cards/cash or tips and you only wait a couple of minutes. Regardless of your location.

It also stops discrimination of location or profile (They can't say they don't go to X place or not pick you up).

I use OS X on my Macbook Pro retina but also duelboot Windows 7 & Ubuntu.

Interesting. Looks similar to this project. http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/48-pandaboards-chained-to...

Reward based crowdfunding will become a payments/distribution mechanism for an already engaged audience rather than a free source of money for people with an idea and no way to execute on it.

Funny to unexpectedly see my front room on Hacker News

I just moved to the valley and I love that they offer $10/m unlimited international calls and texts. They also offer free tethering up to 2.5GB's and unlimited data (w/o tethering). They claim not to slow you down at a certain point with unlimited data.

Stripe is also starting to grow internationally which is one reason why I'd choose stripe.

I agree on the branding (doesn't sound like its about London startups) but having seen this site for a couple of weeks now there is a nice little community there. It makes sense to create a subreddit or site for London startups as there's a big community that doesn't really have a (non-facebook) forum to communicate and share.

The website.

Don't like the interface (makes it seem 100x more complicated than it is) but love the idea. I often hit my data cap, am in an area with slow or no data coverage or don't want to load up an app and would be happy to shoot a text off to get a piece of info.

I'm in the UK but this is a far bigger problem in other countries so if executed better this would be very interesting.

I'm not sure how you can compete with the competition, which is focusing on tablets & mobile at this point. I don't use any social news 'apps' (I won't consider HN or Reddit an app but a destination) on the web, I either go directly to a blog or use Twitter.

On mobile I use Prismatic which fixes this problem aptly and Flipboard (for visuals).

You always have a boss. Before David Karp was responsible to his investors, now he's responsible to Mayer and the Yahoo shareholders. It's not that different other than the fact that Yahoo (at least for now) has enough money to let them live on.
