    This might be pedantic, but many people also incorrectly say "hockey stick" when they mean exponential growth. Hockey stick growth would be more like a sudden change between two very different rates of linear growth, which would be equally traumatic for your start up in the short term but probably more manageable in the long term.

    Hi, I saw this post you made discussing a dissertation that had online dating stats. Could you by chance email me some information about how I could find this dissertation? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=176699 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=176699
