Hey everyone, thanks for looking! Everyone's commenting on the design being bad but the site is best viewed in Netscape 3, FYI.

In all seriousness, we thought this would be a fun way to find opportunities. Hope you guys share our sense of humor!

hey that's not nice

It would have had to been because:

"The Ubuntu Edge is an exclusive production run, available only through Indiegogo."

Unless they want to lose money or plan to monetize some other way.

There are "doomed" companies in every batch, which is okay. Startup investing is a numbers game.

This is a great time for the company the OP is talking about to reflect on possible mistakes they've made. I take what the OP says with grain of salt, but no startup is perfect. This is the time to think about the culture they created and how they can improve it to stay alive.

Most of the time, it just takes an honest conversation with the team. Lock yourselves in a room and have an open talk about what's going on. Let no feeling go unspoken. Don't make any excuses- just focus on how you guys can be better in the future and make every effort to do that.

This situation sucks. I think the most important thing you can do for him is just leave him alone but with some encouraging thoughts. Send him a text saying you'll be there for him when he feels ready to reach out. You can get out of almost any crappy situation at age 20. You just need to take a step back and look at it objectively.

It's funny. I'm on the phone trying to reach a student loan representative right now. I keep pressing 1 for English, 4 for a student loan representative, 1 again for the type of loan, then I'm back to pressing 4 for a loan representative. It's an infinite loop!

I try hitting 0 for an operator but then I'm prompted to give a 4 digit extension for the party I want to reach.

you might get a cease and desist from zynga but don't give in!

Thanks! Fixed!

well, it's available here too: http://www.mercurynews.com/salaries/bay-area?Entity=Bay%20Ar...

i just want someone to make some cool graphs with it

Yea I just got it from there. I thought it would be useful to some people in CSV format.

It's funny watching the twitter feed on Adecco's website:

mhmm.

i would feel better if they go through the trouble mint does to store credentials:

but i doubt they do

I think a lot people who are for surveillance assume those records may help them one day. Yea they have nothing to hide, but they have nothing to protect them in return.

I don't suppose Dan can keep the dope..

It seems like you get no joy from bending the rules. Maybe it just makes me feel young.

they are awfully specific about what they don't do.

"direct access"...

at the angelhack last weekend, my partner created streetcodr.com. it was well accepted and seemed like a cool way to code.

To solve this problem when I store sensitive things, I use attr_encrypted like this:

Gemfile: gem 'attr_encrypted'

account.rb: attr_encrypted, :account_number, :key => ENV["some_key"]

"Someone has to make it rain"

this made me laugh!

I quit my job in October. I made the mistake of telling my parents too soon. I told them I was planning to quit on Halloween and I'm sure their parental instincts kicked in trying to convince me not to quit.

I would recommend not telling your parents at least till the week of. Then there isn't much for them to do but to wish you the best of luck because you've already made up your mind.

My parents now support me a lot and I definitely dont think i disappointed them.

This reminded me that one of my friends wanted a recommendation from me on FoundersDating. I got to the form you're talking about and here is a screenshot:

On the bottom left corner, you'll see they tell you that they'll send a message to your chosen contacts. You can also edit the message.

The text is really small. I may not have noticed it had I not been looking for it. Also, I don't know when this was added.

I'd love to chat more with you. Can you send me an e-mail? mariusz.n.lapinski at gmail

Great advice. We aren't thinking too much of it and are excited to [in?]validate some assumptions. We just thought we'd share our experience and what we learned.

Appreciate the comment. However, our issue was how we pitched our big vision, not what we are now (as you see on the homepage, a Matlab learning platform).

At the end of the day, you're trying to make money. Transactions are very intimate events and you have to pay attention to what your customer feels when they navigate your site. Copy that conveys distrust is going to lower conversion rates.
