Is this whitelabel like Stripe? Does it handle verification and PCI compliance?

Wow, I just read that essay you wrote and it was damn good. This is the kind of stuff I wish made HP.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this.

It's funny... I'm so used to waiting a few seconds for Netflix's tooltips to appear I was very pleasantly surprised when I started browsing this.

Companies like AWS, Google, and MSFT have representatives that consult with YC founders to help them with engineering goals. I suppose to up-sell them on scaling with their platform.

I cracked up when I saw "The sourcecode is copyright(c)"

Just forked, I have some other ideas also.

I really just wish they would make a native email client & possibly native word and spreadsheet app to work with Google drive. It's confusing for me to know whats synced offline vs online, I can't imagine how the average user must feel.

If you don't play poker this makes you realize why YC considers poker players to be good founders.

These are really impressive. Are you using a program to compile these to CSS or are you just a wizard?

Oh the trolling one could do with this. I believe this has great great potential. Nice work.

It would be key to figure out a way to capture (not avoid) the hilarious aspect that people will use it as a joke. That's what I love about it.

I remember seeing this somewhere at Startup School NY. Very very impressive. I'm not a regular chess player myself but I have visited Chesscadamy a few times out of interest since then.

I see the benefits but I have to agree. This is a very real barrier to entry, and not just financially. Making SSL a global standard is just one more thing new web developers have to appreciate.

Incredibly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

This is super cool! Nice work.

Surprisingly, Apple doesn't even offer SSD or their "Fusion Drives" in store. I was at an Apple store last week trying to buy an iMac with a 256 GB SSD and had to have them order one for me.

It is worth going to the store though, they gave me a fair discount for buying it as a business.

I can see it honestly. A lot of students are beginning to think about startups instead of getting a traditional corporate job. Though, I'm a sophomore right now but I've never met anyone at my school who knows about HN.

Wonderful little site, and great advice.

>Some of these contingent employees are full-time lecturers, and many are adjunct instructors: part-time employees, paid per class, often without health insurance or retirement benefits. This is a relatively new phenomenon: in 1969, 78 percent of professors held tenure-track positions. By 2009 this percentage had shrunk to 33.5.

Would be interesting to know if college prices began rising at a higher ratio to the CPI around this time.

You could prompt the user through multiple pages of "questioning" under a similar premise of psychological analysis, or some other manipulation. This would reduce the number of buttons per page.

That's what I think he meant.

If any of you are really interested in these incidents they have recently been added to netflix titled "Air Disasters" and additionally you can find many more on Youtube from https://www.youtube.com/user/aircrashofficial and similar uploaders!

The whole click bombing argument is undoubtedly true, I've seen it happen too many times. Additionally, from my experience, Google will wait until immediately before the payout period to ban. I had $750 waiting to be paid out one month then poof! Three days before the payout my account was banned.

I don't know if this guy is telling the truth, but his arguments have truth in them.

I have used Facebook CPC extensively for my e-commerce company and it has worked wonderfully ( with the right settings ). I have had over 5% of clicks convert in certain months.

However, I have had little luck with adsense for the same company. Honestly I think picking an ad network for your market is a much bigger decision than "tuning" a network you are set on using!

I don't mean to offend but your sites theme looks like something I could pickup for $10 on Themeforest. Consider making it easier for users to see the way the system works, examples and use cases, as well as success stories (I recognize you are currently new).

Additionally, consider changing your front page video to someone actually designing something.

Also use margin-bottom: 0 on your about page to eliminate evil whitespace!

This whole argument seems extremely petty. Gender is such a basic category that in most cases I think users appreciate it's differentiation. This is like getting angry you got credit card advertisements because you started college. Seriously, how can anyone consider this a 'privacy' concern?

The 777 aircraft reports ACARS (Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System) every thirty minutes and it is typical of pilots flying overseas to squawk transponder code 2000 immediately after signing off from the regional ATC. If a secondary radar was not listening to the 2000 frequency it would have no record of the plane in that region. So, if the plane did go down in the 30 minute block between the ACARS transmission, AND AFTER the sign off, it would easily explain the radio silence, because the plane wasn't silent, it just wasn't transmitting & was not visible to secondary radar.

Obviously, this means the plane had to go down very quickly (because it had so much altitude) and while being a consolidated mass (blown up or shattered planes scatter debris which are easily identified). It's very possible they suffered from an electrical failure from a fire, but it's much more plausible there was some control surface failure. For example in Alaska Airlines 261's case the horizontal stabilizer jack-screw failed unconstraining the entire horizontal stabilizer causing the plane immediately dive 31,000ft and hit the water in under 5 minutes.

It's a cool service (and it caught my attention) but isn't the price a little high? I really considered it until I saw the prices. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the basic plans just seem like template work.

I feel like if I'm going to pay that much for something like this I need to have a personal relationship with the designer.

I know it's been said but this is a absolute masterpiece. Thank you for inspiration Stripe.
