oh yeah, bike courriers have been around in NYC for over a decade. Same goes for every major metropolis in the USA.

thanks guys! This is pretty much the way I was feeling about it.

this sorta feels like a spam site.

FWIW, the official .nyc site from NYC GOV: http://www.mydotnyc.com/

these are kinda pricey for what they are. fab.com has awesome prints likes these on sale every now and then for half the price and now free shipping. just saying.

overworkedasian | 13 years ago | on: Alpha Colony fails to meet Kickstarter funding goal by $28

seriously. id call up a friend or family member to donate $28 and then just pay them back later or something.

overworkedasian | 13 years ago | on: GoDaddy outage caused by corrupted router tables

I wasnt really paying attention to the outage, but if it was indeed a routing issue, then you shouldnt have been able to reach any godaddy ip address. ICMP/traceroutes would have failed and showed the error.

overworkedasian | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: What do you dislike about hackathons/startup-weekend type events?

thanks for the all the input! ill share my idea once i have refined it more. but the key things i want to focus are:

- give a chance for everyone to network with each other

- put people in situations where teamwork is needed

- put focus on creativity and make things fun. FUN is the focus here.

- learning is still the goal here but not in a stressful/lack of sleep environment.

overworkedasian | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: What do you dislike about hackathons/startup-weekend type events?

what would you like to see in a 'post engagement' system? do you want to be able to see a list of everyone that attended so you can follow them on facebook or twitter? have a place that teams and post updates on the projects that they worked on? curious as to your thoughts on how the 'post event' support system could be better.

overworkedasian | 13 years ago | on: Those budget 27" IPS displays from Korea are for real

there is alot of good information here on various 27" displays from korea. http://www.overclock.net/f/44/monitors-and-displays

overworkedasian | 13 years ago | on: How we chose and furnished an office the Y Combinator way

really? why not just buy a $99 ikea desk: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40111124/

if you add up all the time it took to sand, varish, cut, drill etc it would have costs so much more. time is money man.

overworkedasian | 13 years ago | on: Dear Heroku: Quit blaming all of us when you fail. Do this instead…

at the end of the day, if you have a service that other people/businesses/clients rely on, that they need 24/7 up time, then you really need to have a plan B that is not on heroku or aws. a REAL disaster recovery plan needs to be thought out and implemented. if you dont want your users to see the "there is a problem with this app" on heroku, then its your job to figure out that plan B is. If you cant afford it a plan B, then well, tough shits. as someone that has worked in the hosting business for years on the operations side, its also the responsibility of the client to plan that scenario where your primary host is not reachable (regardless if its an application level issue, network or power outage). the hosting company can only build so many N+1 backups (network/power/etc) as they can afford/physically fit. you can buy all the load balancing you want, redundant web servers and database servers. if you arent hosting in a secondary place and your primary host fails, all those redundant servers you are paying for arent going to mean a damn thing.

what did GM hope it would accomplish by advertising on facebook? Unless they are offering a discount coupon for 50% off their next GM car, facebook users wouldnt care. did they hope facebook users would be more inclined to buy GM vs a foreign car? if that is the case...i have bridge i would like to sell you.

overworkedasian | 14 years ago | on: Show HN: My first startup - So Yummy

after months of baking with my girlfriend, we decided to launch our first startup together: SoYummy. I got the inspiration when she first got a subscription to Birchbox and i thought, there must be 'bakery/sweets' version of Birchbox. After some research, i discovered that there really isn't anything like this. This wont make me a million dollars overnight, but we wanted to give this a shot and really try to make it work. Let me know if you got any questions! would love some feedback!

overworkedasian | 14 years ago | on: EMC Buys Pivotal Labs

Not sure man. You could be right. They could be building the foundation to build next gen apps that better mesh all the product in the EMC product portfolio. Only time will tell.
