Looks to me that the name is not taken. Do you want to try again and ping me if you have any problems?
Right now stacks are set based on preference, compatibility to cloud providers, etc
We will enable custom stack soon!
Yes, once you installed virtualbox and our command line tool, stkr, a virtual machine will be downloaded automatically and a stack of your choice will be set up locally.
Visit getting started page https://www.stackrocket.com/docs/getting_started or ping me if you have more questions.
Howdy HN users, right now we have Rails, Django and PHP stacks available. We'll be adding more stacks in coming weeks.
In addition to Olivier's comment, we will also have deployment option to popular cloud providers such as Heroku, PHPFog and EC2
It would help but most private companies don't report annual revenues.
I agree. The data is not consistent but it's probably the most well-maintained and accessible data (with its api) to my knowledge.
That is the reason I look at investments from 2005 since most investments prior to that were not entered.
What if you had bought Apple call options instead of AAPL stock?
If you bought AAPL April $200 Call on Feb. 1 (at $10.20), you would made around 370% return. But obviously trading options is more risky, because you have to get both the direction and timing right.
"Work on building a "robust" society, capable of withstanding errors, in which the role of finance (hence debt) would be minimal. We want a society in which people can make mistakes without risk of total collapse. Silicon Valley offers a good example, where people have the chance to fail fast (and repeatedly)."

The main issue is Apple's consistency with the App approval process. This is the screenshot taken from Wolfenstein 3D on App Store, showing multiple shootings, body on floor and blood.
it's known as Instant Noodle for most asians

I have my eyes on the 13" 2.0GHz Macbook w/ 4GB Ram and SSD. The price adds up to be a little more than entry-level MBP. What do you guys think?
That reminded me when a physicist once told me that in physics and life, Work = Force * Displacement.
Similar to Aardvark, a Firefox extension
Was it worth it? For sure! No problem for few years except floating strings around my eyes (got used to it).
Would I do it again? Probably not. I still have memory of the corneal suction ring coming slowing into my eye. At least the surgery was short.
I agree. To join YC in summer '07, I moved with my wife and a set of two-year-old twins to Cambridge from Vancouver for four months.
We had great memories of Cambridge and thought it was worth it.
Index fund is the way to go for many people. In fact, it is the suggestion William Sharpe gave to (pre-IPO) Google employees.
Highly recommend Nassim Nicholas Taleb's Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan.

find a funny-sounding word from Dr. Seuss books and get back to the product.. worked for a few startups
Since I work on one laptop and can't turn wifi off (IM w/ distributed workmates), PG's trick doesn't apply to me.
However I find simply separating work/fun applications has helped me work more efficiently and reduce distractions.
For examples: I switched to NetNewsWire from Google Reader. And I use Safari only for work and Firefox for general browsing. Trick is to keep the non-work applications turned off while working.
Most productive facebook app to get things done. Pass todos to friends and 'crack the whip' until they're done.
SocialPicks is incorporated in Delaware. To attend YC's SFP '07, I applied for a 4-month TN Visa at a port of entry (Vancouver airport) en route to Cambridge. More info can be found at http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1274.html
