cb33··on Incident with Github.com
2 hours later - still down. Is this "impatience culture" or incompetence culture at this point?
cb33··on John C. Dvorak has died
Ah ok, yes perhaps that's it. I didn't consider that type of "connection"...
cb33··on John C. Dvorak has died
Been racking my brain trying to understand what the purpose of this comment is. I'm not saying everyone MUST write something positive about the man, but I just have a hard time understanding what this comment in particular adds.

cb33··on Show HN: I suck at remembering names, so I built an app to help
This method reminds me of Michael Scott's "trick" to remembering names. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQfW1G6Me5E
cb33··on I'm 17 and made the front page of Medium.com
Why isn't the title of this HN post "The Starbucks Theory"? The author doesn't mention their age at any point in the blog post, so I fail to see why it is in the title.

I think people just disagree with your comment...
cb33··on Entrepreneur’s Letter to Obama: Give Americans a Great Challenge to Pursue
"Abraham Lincoln had a single-minded vision: Preserve the Union. Franklin Roosevelt didn’t really become great until he united America behind the cause of ending Fascism and Imperialism. John Kennedy asked us to put a man on the moon. Ronald Reagan was hell bent on winning the Cold War."

All of those examples are centered around war and/or homeland security and some of them don't have a lot to do with entrepreneurship. The beauty of the world we live in today is that we don't need a leader to supply us with a unified vision/direction; we have tons of companies simultaneously working very hard on innovating in a multitude of different areas.

There are a ton of problems to solve, so why focus on one?

cb33··on Milk: Kevin Rose's New Company Aims to Solve Big Problems on the Mobile Web
I think you're downplaying the "pivot" aspect of Milk. It's not just a think tank, but an agile team that can switch up their tactics (revenue models, branding, priorities, etc.) at the drop of a hat. I'm excited to see what they can come up with in the next year.

cb33··on Show HN: Revboat - startup Q&A community
First of all, build a custom theme. Downloading a pre-built Q&A PHP script and throwing it up on your server takes virtually no skill/work and visitors can sense this lack of effort within milliseconds of the first page loading...

Also, how is your site better than the YC area of Quora, for example?

cb33··on Show HN: Revboat - startup Q&A community
Great, yet another Q&A site...

I would recommend asking yourself: What does Revboat offer that other Q&A sites fall short on?

Also, you NEED to hire a designer. The current design is offensive to the eyes.

cb33··on Ask HN: Inspirational movies
The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. Classic story of the underdog battling the perennial favorite told through the real-life struggle for the world's highest Donkey Kong score. Seriously, watch it now.
cb33··on Ask HN: Inspirational movies
This was my favorite startup/silicon valley-based movie until The Social Network came out. Great acting, very accurate storytelling (considering it's a made-for-tv movie from 1999), and pretty damn motivational.
