nicklovescode··on Thiel Fellowship Applications open for 2014
In addition to MIT_Hackers comment, I had a smallish exit a year ago(we never did press nor really announced it). Other ones are private at the moment.
nicklovescode··on Thiel Fellowship Applications open for 2014
Ah, we seem to have had the same idea. Beat me by a few seconds :)
nicklovescode··on Thiel Fellowship Applications open for 2014
As a first year Thiel Fellow(meaning I have been an alum for the past few months) I can safely say that it was an incredible experience and I would definitely suggest applying if you are eligible and on the fence.

If you are thinking about applying and have any questions I'm happy to answer them(cammarata.nick@gmail)

why keep the ad?
nicklovescode··on Show HN: Multiparty WebRTC video chat
Looks awesome! I need exactly this, but it needs to work for Safari/Chrome for the latest iPad. Any ideas?
nicklovescode··on That Time I Made A Website
Maybe a public forum wasn't the best place for a comment meant specifically for the author. I'm the person who criticized the <center>.
nicklovescode··on That Time I Made A Website
"The issue is not that it is "bad". It a matter of separation of concerns. This tag is intended to be used for presentation only. It has no other semantic meaning.

Since the move is to have presentation handled by CSS and HTML should only be used for semantic markup, the tag has been deprecated."

Wohoo I can sleep well again. Looking pretty good Tiffany!
nicklovescode··on Show HN: Spotify for Independent Music
Good job, buy why Spotify rather than just a music player?
nicklovescode··on Ask PG: Do you still own books?
Not really. Traveling for the last few months my kindle has been a godsend. No desire now that I'm back to get the physical alternative.
nicklovescode··on Tesla is unable to sell its vehicles directly to the public in Texas
"Prior to the filing deadline, Tesla Motors reached out to Sen. Craig Estes (R-Wichita Falls) and Rep. Eddie Rodriguez (D-Austin) who agreed to file bills on our behalf. These bills would permit U.S.-based manufacturers of 100% electric- or battery-powered vehicles to sell directly to Texas consumers."

A silly band-aid to ridiculous legislation.

Why do you like having a giant house. I've never had this feeling and would like to understand. (I currently live in what I would consider a reasonably sized apartment in SF.)
nicklovescode··on Dear Interns
I think it was sarcastic, as in the intern would think that the customer was stupid while they are making the change.

Also believed IPO at first sight, +1 for changing title.
nicklovescode··on Show HN: Want an idea for your startup? Generate it automatically here
Here is your pitch: Boom.io is a Sublime startup that is a complete game changer. I founded Boom.io after realizing that there is an untapped 504000 billion dollar opportunity in Education.

I can't tell you the details about our platform because we are currently in stealth mode, but we are the only player in Education which we will completely disrupt in 2 months. At Boom.io we believe that everyone deserves Freedom. Our product will bring together WebGL, Agile and Lean to introduce synergies that will democratize, and revolutionize Education.

This idea is so potent yet so deceptively simple that it has the capacity to produce an unlimited amount of profit.

We haven't created our product yet, so we are looking a real Angular.js Samurai to join our team so they can build it for us. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you to be a part of the next big thing. We have free food, unlimited vacation, generous equity compensation. Also each week we give you a new Puck Mouse just for being amazing.

If know Angular.js and 'want in', just tweet me and you'll be on our uber game-changing, revolutionary, disruptive team in no time, helping us change the world!

nicklovescode··on Choosing Minecraft over Disney
In my experience the Youtube/gaming videos default is not kid-friendly. If that's the case, then your kid will be getting less quality content for what I believe is basically no fair reason.
nicklovescode··on Choosing Minecraft over Disney
If true, that's very interesting. Source?
nicklovescode··on Choosing Minecraft over Disney
Wouldn't it make sense to just teach the children that many people accept these words as bad, and leave it at that? Why censor vast amounts of content(I would imagine most of the best Minecraft videos for instance wouldn't be PG) based on language used.
nicklovescode··on Choosing Minecraft over Disney
I wholeheartedly support the idea of children using interactive creative environments rather than just watch TV. However, as a non-parent, I can't figure out why cursing is such a big deal. Many parents wouldn't bat at eye at some pretty awful violence in movies(think Batman or something), but feel "fuck" is cause for evacuation. I have the same issue with fear of nudity.
nicklovescode··on How To Talk To Girls At Parties (short story)
I ran across this a couple years ago and just reread it today. I love how the narrator is about as confused by the girls as we are, and basically completely ignores what they say and focuses on progressing the night.

For instance, the second girl talks about seeing insect-eyed and winged people in Rio, and he just responds "uh, do you want to dance?". It definitely makes me realize that I've witnessed conversations at similar parties where one person(usually the girl in a girl/boy pair) could basically say anything without changing the flow of the conversation.

nicklovescode··on CoffeeStrap is in open beta
I imagine you'll get an overwhelming number of people who want to learn other languages but can only offer English themselves. How's the rate been so far?

nicklovescode··on Chart.js - open source HTML5 charting library
I've been making a ton of d3/html5 charts lately, and I've been terribly dissappointed by the open source offerings of graphs that are both beautiful(tons on dribbble, few even in html) and functional. Was going to work on one, but this actually looks really good!

edit: any reason you decided not to use D3 for this?
