symptic

It's worth mentioning that there is a difference between "hardness" and "toughness" when dealing with glass and gems/minerals. Hardness is the material's resistance against scratching, while toughness is its resistance to breakage. The iPhone uses a synthetic sapphire I believe (much like in many eyeglasses made today) which has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale (Diamond is 10), so it is very resistant to scratches, since only materials with a hardness the same or above can scratch it; that doesn't correlate with it's resistance to breakage. Many very hard materials are also very brittle and will crack or shatter more easily than anticipated.

Style is a celebration of the self. It's another language to learn and master.

Dismissing it as nonfunctional or damaging to your well being is the same as ignoring the utility of a new programming language because your old ones get the job done or because using traditional languages is "hardcore."

The title says "a Million-Dollar Business THIS Weekend" and not "IN A Weekend," suggesting the initial effort to create an idea and verify that idea (and potentially creating the MVP) can be done within 48 hours. There is nothing in this post suggesting a business will be completely created in a weekend, and these arguments criticizing the post show a lack of understanding.

Go back and read what is said until you thoroughly understand the message and realize Noah is merely exemplifying the Lean Startup method; it's a gritty and unsexy approach to building a business, and it's very effective at avoiding long-term losses and encouraging learning.

Great work David. Proud of ya'. :)

If your store isn't bringing in enough customers you can upgrade the facade to bring in more traffic, but it's still up to you to make the sale once they walk inside.

As I read this, I kept thinking of the movie American Beauty. If you found this post through-provoking or disagree with it, watch this movie.

I think you should create a Twitter account and share your work (both with design and your great social work with the children). Maybe even tell the story as it unravels with a Tumblr blog? Just a quick thought!

From his WickedFire thread:

MY EMAIL ID- [email protected] Please drop me a mail or a PM with the info of the logo to be done! My paypal ID is different. I will send you my paypal ID after completing the order as I always request payment after completing the order.

For disclosure, I am not involved in this operation. I saw it and thought what they are doing is amazing and felt compelled to help.

Thanks for the HN code Kyle. I heard you talking about Forrst at the lunch Noah put together right before SXSW, and I heard you got some funding soon after. Congrats!

Quick problem though: I accidentally tied the wrong Twitter account to my account and can't find where to change it (under "Find Your Twitter Friends").
