Really useful when searching for office space or apartments. I can recall many friends who get a great lease on an office only to find they have really slow internet available for their startup.

You would probably be better off complaining to slideshare.net or the original author of the slideshow for posting it there.

The gameplay of auto generated tracks is different from guitar games, but its fun in its own way.

Im curious, what percent of user accounts are over a year old vs not?

Also, do accounts with higher karma boost up a story more?

Im wondering if the reason why the two lists are very similar is that the old users inherently have a high weight (in terms of number of accounts and karma power) on the normal page already.

If you mean video embeds then yes, each video has a code and can be embedded just like YouTube.

This app isnt meant to dim the screen. It changes the color temperature of the monitor to a warmer setting. Its like the difference between a fluorescent and a regular incandescent light.

Actually it's a colder setting.

Sadly not, we looked into GC stuff but it doesn't seem to be the culprit

Just because the LaunchBox advisors dont have public personas doesn't mean they are bad advisors. In fact they are all extremely sharp, well connected and have quite a lot of experience in the space.

You can see their bios here, although a short paragraph doesn't do them justice. http://www.launchboxdigital.com/about-us-new.html

I will agree that without the public personas its much harder to build a culture and community like HackerNews around the program. But I dont think thats the goal of LaunchBox. In fact I think all the LaunchBox companies hang out on HN because its the best community of its kind out there.

I wasn't suggesting that they would be bad advisors; and, maybe even public personas are non-essential. However, I am looking at their bios, and one thing stands out: none of them have any hacker cred. The have JDs, MBAs, they were CEOs, CTOs, government officials, advisors, partners in large corporations, etc, etc. Please do not interpret me as saying that somehow I consider these positions to be unimportant - that's not what I am trying to say. What I am trying to say is that they give off a qualitatively different impression than YC does.

I would wholeheartedly agree. None of the Launchbox advisors are/were hackers and they all tend towards business end of the spectrum. There are pro's and con's to each type of advisor. YC is lucky because PG is good on both sides. Only time will tell how the business side leaning will fair for LaunchBox.
