Hi, <name> from Coinbase here. Sorry for the delay on that - definitely not the customer experience we are striving for.

<some phone shit right here>

Edit: <we actually did our job and made it work. we also gave you 0.01% on top!>

Sometimes when you look at similar graphics to this one, you go: "Wow, that's big."

Somehow, this wasn't one of those times. This one was: http://demonocracy.info/infographics/eu/debt_greek/debt_gree...

I'm not saying you'll be dead in 5 years time if you spend more than 12 hours a day sitting on a chair programming. But it adds up if you're doing that your whole lifetime and neglect healthy food and physical activity. Of course it differs from person to person but I think you see my point.

Regarding stress free comment... I guess it depends on the person in question. Besides, when you finish for the day, you really finish for the day and that's the most important thing. Entrepreneurship is not for everyone.

Smart people will put health before entrepreneurship, especially if it prolongs their life and not just in the sense how many years will they have to life.

Strangely enough, this idea has gone through my mind a couple of times, for a completely different reasons though.

Mortality is closely connected with the hours we spend sitting each day. So that's one reason.

The other one is that after working so hard and saving up enough for the rest of your life, you need something that is much more stress-free. And selling something so basic as food is exactly that.

I thought these points are common sense.

I'd like to see what's inside that 512MB file, though.

Witty attempt to be funny but the reality is that their service which isn't free is down. I don't see the funny side.

I also run a pretty tight ship on Facebook. Only closest friends and family (13 people in total), visibility to friends only and such things.

Father created Facebook account a week ago to keep up with our favourite sports team. I sent him a friend request but he managed to hide it and didn't find it later. Yesterday he received an email saying something in this style: Do you know these people? A list with 13 people was underneath it and these 13 people were my friends.

Thankfully he knows most of them so it didn't get awkward but still a massive, massive worry for me.

Internet's a postcard, not an envelope.

I'll give you a little advice that's been working wonderfully for me so far - don't ever post something that is politically/ethnically/whatever questionable and you'll be fine. Even better than that, it'll play in your favour.

It's not mine but a product I frequently use. See for yourself.

Before I read the article; why does the permalink symbol looks exactly like the infinity symbol (∞)?

Thanks! I think of this topic as rarely discussed but its 'products' are often used.

Does anyone have enough expertise to tell me in which program this was made?

The test might be perfectly adequate to decide whether you should do a PhD.

However, I can't stop thinking that tests where the outcome is based on Mostly A's (or B's or C's or ...) are designed for pre-teen pupils deciding whether they should break up with their this-week boyfriend or have a chocolate or vanilla ice cream.

I have two questions for which I couldn't find the answer:

1 - Will these companies provide data from all users or only US citizens?

2 - Who has access to the data? Only people working on this program at US intelligence or a wider set of people? For instance, can they look up my emails, photos and so on if I am about to be interview for high profile government job?

You really shouldn't mention medium.com in one line you have. Serious bloggers will stop reading right there.

Overall, I give you thumbs up.

Somebody needs to take responsibility for this. Letting 520 people go is not normal, especially not in the tech industry. It's a disgrace.

Very misleading title.

I was done with Facebook when they introduced that the content from a page you 'Like' doesn't necessarily appear on your timeline. That was a deal breaker for me and many others.

You 'Like' something/someone for one simple reason. You feel that page is interesting to you and you want updates. If you don't want updates from something you like, you write it down in a notebook.

Gone are the days when Facebook was an obsession. People tend to expect more and more from the service (even though it's free) they use but Facebook went in the exact opposite direction - they gave back less of what we want and more of what we don't.

I see more and more companies exclusively on Twitter which is great. Twitter's a great platform for business while I always had this sense that Facebook is more suitable for individuals.

After a week/month/year/half a decade you realise it's taking up a larger percentage of your than you'd like and you make cuts.

I have kept my Facebook account open but I can't remember when was the last time I checked it out of interest. If someone messages me or write on my wall, I get a (non-push) notification on my mobile or email (in the mailbox Newsletters which I check/clean at the end of the week). But that's it, Facebook is (almost) a past for me, just like Myspace.

People who want their email under control already have something similar - for instance, I have filters and labels and folders for Newsletters and offers, one for Family and friends, University and so on. People who haven't taken control of their inbox yet won't be bothered to do that now. Loved the music in the video though.

Always good to see a new physical product on the market.

All is well but I decided not to part with $35 for this product - simply because 9 photos are there forever and you can't change that.

If you had a web interface where 10 of your photos could be selected and then projected, now that's what I'd be willing to pay for.

I'm sure it'll be a success though.

I like flat design but probably for the wrong reason.

I had some luck in other business but decided to pursue a new career in software development a while back. Basically I knew nothing about professional design but I was an avid follower of startups/new technology/trends and so on.

I love it because it's clean, simple, looks nice and it's easy to produce. I need nothing more.

I value myself quite highly as well.

I thought it's a joke until 7th or 8th slide.

A good idea is just as important as its execution.

I know the author is going for a massive exaggeration with the statement "Ideas are worth nothing" but it's simply not true.

I quite liked Kim. But lately he's been nothing else than a guy that's in media so much he becomes incredibly annoying (to hear news about him/her/them).

Something similar to Lana del Rey in music business, Julian Assange in politics, Messi in football and Ryan Gosling in film.

Meh.

Best HN post since I've joined. I was in a very similar situation not so long ago. I know a few others as well.

Last month, I watched a lot of snooker as there was a World Championship in Sheffield. Ronnie O'Sullivan [who later won the cup] said something on that same matter. You have a fairly successful life. You have someone who is very close to you. You are good at something. Yet you lack one very important ingredient to achieve total happiness. I don't know what is the word for that ingredient.

Basically, you need to wake up in the morning, (briefly) commute and work from there. Working from home is a great thing but not for everyone. You need an office. You need something away from your flat to work at. You need that commute even if it's just staring at the nature and greeting the doorman or mailman. That's how it works for us (people who have this same problem).

I applaud microha.us. It's a great idea and it crossed my mind to do something similar in the UK.

No but if he uses Gmail (and it's a pretty good chance) he will. If not, he will find out sooner or later.

Paypal's era is coming to an end, it was just a matter of time who would have claimed it. Luckily, it was Google rather than Facebook.
