I went back and read both the thread and the original article and I think the OP is right.

Hi David, this is a beautiful piece of work. I remember the first time you told me this would be a good interview question. Ever since, I've been far more interested in the long chain of tiered technologies that make possible every single every small action on the web.

Thanks for sharing :)

cesarsalazar12 — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 22:20:53 +0000

I was sad to discover there was no way to create a female superhero. The editorial in the newspaper page (homepage) mentions a female but she is only the ex-girlfriend and a fashion blogger. Disappointing.

We've been asking them to learn to code. They've been listening.

Hi, it's breaking mine as well. I'm on Chrome 17.0/OSX 10.7.2

I couldn't agree more. All the CSS3/HTML5 craze really worries me. With all the new tools we have available, it's more important than ever to remember that with great power comes great responsibility (to care about our users).

New comment by cesarsalazar12 in "What Is Startup Chile And Why I’m Leaving Mexico "

cesarsalazar12 — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 20:33:34 +0000

As a partner of Mexican.VC (http://mexican.vc), a (pre)seed fund that invests in Mexican online startups, I can assure that the your vision of how Mexico works is quite incomplete. There's well enough funding in Mexico for early stage companies. You can find angels (Angel Ventures Mexico, Mex.VC), seed funds (Mexican.VC, Wayra, StartupFactory), early stage VCs (Alta Ventures, Ignia, Fondo Emprendedor CONACYT-NAFIN) and public grants (Prosoftware, Fondo PYME, AVANCE).

I'm not saying Chile is not a great country (I love Chileans), but IMHO your reasons to leave Mexico are fundamentally flawed.

New comment by cesarsalazar12 in "The “designers should code” bullshit and a not so new idea"

cesarsalazar12 — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 14:43:09 +0000

Exactly! HTML is way different from a programming language. HTML is a language that describes structure, not logic. The web is all about structuring information in a way people can make sense out of it. Any web designer that is not able to use a language to provide structure, is not at the to of their profession.

cesarsalazar12 — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 09:20:04 +0000

Really inspiring.

I don't have kids yet but when I think about parenting, this is what I always dream of. However, when I tell my "non-hacker" friends, they don't seem to get excited about it. I don't know why. For me, parenting is all about playing a supporting role in the kids journey to understand the world and learn to hack it for the better.

I agree. I was hoping for an extension that does the opposite: document.getElementById("gbgs1").style.display = "none"

Have some extra fun with today's Google Doodle (Les Paul)

Hi HN, this is a brief blog post collaboratively written by the Mexican.VC team. We intend to increase awareness in our space that access to market opportunities is ubiquitous. Therefore we should be paying more attention to founders working on startups outside SV or in a broader sense, the US. We would appreciate your feedback.

Great news for a very ballsy startup. They haven't been afraid of telling people how swipes are going to replace clicks in most terms. At first I was skeptical, but the move by Wordpress just confirms that they truly have something.

At first I was stunned. It had never occurred to me that there were people that didn't like the cultural aspect of hacking/programming. But to be honest, after a couple of minutes of trying to look at this with some perspective, I can imagine what this guy feels. It has happened to me when I regard other cultures, cinematographers for instance. I've always felt they are way too much into something that I regard as a simple thing. I usually feel they're trying to outsmart me by saying "Oh, you didn't get the reference? I just saw it coming!"

New comment by cesarsalazar12 in "A/B test anything with Var.to, a link shortener with variable destinations"

cesarsalazar12 — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 19:27:35 +0000

I really like your URL approach to A/B testing. I gave the product a try and found a couple of things you guys might want to fix:

- The copy to clipboard button isn't really working. At least not on Chrome 9.0.597 on OSX10.6.6

- Using cufon for the actual URL I want to copy isn't the best idea. It makes it really difficult to do a traditional "select and copy".

- There's no way to delete/edit a URL

- The title/description this for each URL may be a bit too much to ask. At least as an early user with just a couple of short URLs in the list.

Something more controversial (and also more important). What I expect from a URL shortener is a permanent redirect, not an iFrame. Some mayor website don't even allow rendering their pages inside iFrames (namely Twitter and Facebook)

I didn't find a feedback link in your page, that's why I'm doing this here.

Congrats for the realease!
