Nobody cares - a fundamental principle for startup socialites
- rawr 17y agoI was going to read your article, but the picture of a blowup doll makes it hard to do so during work.

- RyanMcGreal 17y agoGreat: now the blowup doll is left-justified.
- zby 17y agoYeah - after that picture I am somehow not surprised he has hard time to answer: "Why is it so hard to meet people? Why can’t I just find a girl who loves me?"

- sh1mmer 17y ago80% of businesses fail Wasn't there an article on HN a couple months back showing this to be a myth?
- akronim 17y agoThe stat is meaningless anyway without some sort of timeframe.
- rawr 17y agoI mean, technically it has meaning even without a restricted time frame. Some nonzero percentage of all businesses ever started have never failed. That being said, it's nothing like 20% so clearly there is an implicit time frame.
- jodrellblank 17y agoNo known business has lasted longer than 1,428 years: http://www.dailynugget.com/2007/04/worlds-oldest-business-closes-shop/ http://www.dailynugget.com/2007/04/worlds-oldest-business-cl... Some nonzero percentage of all businesses ever started have not failed yet. Although if I guess what the parent comment is thinking of correctly, there was a piece on HN fairly recently about how businesses that were doing well but closed were counted as 'failures'. E.g. the owner retired and closed, the owner got ill and closed, the owner sold up and the business was merged into another before it was running for 5 years, etc.
