Ask HN: How much sells/traffic you need to attract investors?Not sure this is the right forum. I'll remove if the question is out of place.Our startup we are trying to found has about 10K unique visitors per month and average 500 unit sells. According to our estimate we need 30% more sells to breakeven (founders do not take salary yet - only employees get money and that fixed cost can not be eliminated). We tried to do a lot of tricks (blogs, seo etc.) that do not cost money. But that 30% seems very hard. It is becoming hard to manage the money we are losing every month - we never tried for outside funding to keep things simple. We never thought we would need that. But not a single thing worked out as we planned when we started :(.Now, we have decided we need a little funding to get to the point when we wont need outside money to survive. We are actually looking very small amount to cover the 30% for a year or a little more than that.Whom and how should we approach? Or should we try to manage the money ourselves by some other means (consulting?)

Microsoft charges to use Internet ExplorerFor the first time in months I fired up my 360 to test the MS SmartGlass App. For those that don't know SmartGlass syncs your device with your 360, the feature I was interested in trying was the "remote" which turns your device into the 360 controller (it works...but not as cool as it sounds).To my surprise I found Internet Explorer was finally released on the 360 so I downloaded the app. To my astonishment the App failed to launch because I do not have an Xbox Live Gold (paid) Account. Microsoft is really sick, its one thing to charge for the Gold Account for online game play and for access to certain content (even when your main competitor offers similar service for free), but to disable the web browser unless you have a paid account is really disgusting corporate behavior. In short, cost to use IE on 360 is $5 to $10 per month depending if you pay the year upfront or month to month - and it looks like it will be another couple months before I turn my 360 back on.Can anyone think of

Ask HN: How to not lose yourself in perfectionism creating a developer profile?I guess I'm doing what most people did before the rise of blogs, github and social media. Stuff whatever I wrote in some folder, have code rot on some hard drive and receive mail to my yahoo address ending in four numbers and just hope the interviewer solely relies on employment history.That doesn't fly these days. Maybe I'm taking everything too serious, but leaving some kind of mark on the internet seems so complicated and doesn't allow for experimentation. Everything is connected somehow and often it's impossible to change things you're not so happy about.I did a lot of commits and bug reports with throwaway accounts and mails. Contributing things anonymous is still a good thing, but somehow feels wrong and doesn't add anything to how people perceive my skill or character.Here's one chain of thought:"I should really put my code online. I set the maila dress in my git repository to "" but I can still change that now, but not later. Well I can't use tomatonose384@yahoo.com but every g

Ask HN: What technology should I use for my new project?Question for my super geeky HN Friends:I'm building an app. At a very high level, it will be an Android app that pulls and sends some JSON for a picture-rating system. I expect this to scale quite a bit and may become very popular. Given that option I am thinking I want the best technology for the job, even if it's something I don't know and will have to learn. Here are the options I'm considering:Node.js service Asp.Net Service PHP scriptDatabase:Most likely MySQL or MS-SQL.My question is, what do you guys suggest? I know that NO-SQL stuff is all the craze right now, but I don't feel really comfortable with keeping a lot of data in one of these stores without knowing a lot about them. I have extensive experience with MySQL and MS-SQL and trust both of them can do the job great.The interface on the other hand is much more open. It's just going to be pushing text (images will be hosted on S3) so anything that serves text quickly will work. Heavily leaning towards Node.JS for this, but I
