imd23··on Edward Snowden is Almost Broke
We should help him. How we the HN community could? I'd love to hear ideas from all of you.
imd23··on Bitcoins reached $300
Some days are really volatile.
imd23··on Ask HN: Do you work at night? Why? Would you?
I love to wake up 8pm and go to sleep 12am. When I do this I don't loose any social life (friends) and also live the sunset and sunrise. This schedule prevents meetings with normal people, and it's here when I've to force myself to keep asleep for that specific meeting and then the schedule messes up again. :(
imd23··on Ask HN: Do you work at night? Why? Would you?
Totally agree. :)
imd23··on We're going to send out invitations to YC interviews close to midnight
Thanks!
imd23··on Ask PG/YC: Have all YC W14 interview invitations been sent out?
My god, this waiting is killing us :D

In our case (loovin.com), we've got 7 views to the demo site and 4 views in the video (this are views we know that are from them only, yeah... we check this all day long :)).

Good luck everyone!

imd23··on Fish shell 2.1
I've been using it as my default shell. It simply rocks. It's my best hack friend tool. :)
imd23··on Most people won't
There may be a big amount of variables playing here that we might no be taking in consideration so I wouldn't say that.

Even if that's the case, I think sometimes this is what needs to happen that makes you realize the change/s that has to be done to be better. (be more transparent, fire some managers or key people, etc.)

imd23··on Most people won't
I couldn't feel more identified.

I've done similar things sometimes (not playing at that level but, similar in the end) and what I felt was a big discomfort and a really huge passion for something.

You want to defend your values.

These two together creates a willingness to change the status quo and make something better can move mountains. At the same time I can say this seconds you are terribly fragile.

Not even courage is needed. That's why it's so difficult to explain, it's something you feel inside and need to get out.

imd23··on Ask HN: If there was no internet, what business would you have started?
Concert entreraiment company (a la sensation/tomorrowland)
imd23··on Would Steve Jobs have applied to Y Combinator?
This topic is so difficult to analize that I just follow one rule: do what you love and fuck the rest.

If you're doing what you love, you'd feel right. Passions take play here, but there is a catch here: everyone have passion, or have discovered them. So, if you are from the part who have, just follow them.

Help :) I translated it to english for you guys...

We need Latin America support on this. Please, we know many latin america users know about Latin America horrible internet connection situation. We're trying to do something here in Uruguay to solve this. Our government doesn't allow CATV operators to sell internet, nor mobile carriers who already have FTT* to connect their antennas. We would love to have a hacker community in Uruguay, we are pretty small and our internet sucks. I can't imagine what would happened to Mark Zuckeberg if he'd have born here.

imd23··on Facebook acquires Instagram
Great, now the biggest question is whether build for growing in users or be profitable from day one, or both.

AFAIK instagram didn't make any cent. Premium filters and and ads would be the first choice, but I heard they decided to focus and grow in people loving their product.

Another big thing to deal with is: to sell or not?

Tell me if should I create a new project to improve it in github. g.
imd23··on Khan Academy: It’s Different This Time
WORST TITLE EVER. This is an amazing article, and it's point of view is so debatable, but the title doesn't attract as the article it self.
imd23··on iBooks 2? How Ethernet frames work. Simple and fun.
I don't know how I came to this site, but has hundreds of short interactive presentations about many different topics.

Can't be compared to iBook 2 in terms of UI, but the simple content explanation and the way it's disposed (not linear like a normal book) is excellent.

imd23··on Thanks HN for the Christmas colors and Merry Christmas to you, too
Merry Christmas Hackers! from Uruguay.
