I'm not some Arrington fan, and I try to stay away from Beta's posts; but, if you watched the TCDisrupt coverage, Arrington was trying to invest in just about everything.

Somehow, I missed the original HN post, but I like the service as it serves a vastly ignored market (I've also been a fan of Causes since they started). As far as pricing is concerned, it sounds like it might be best represented on a graph

I got curious as well, and your post helped. Just to point more clearly to the source, the cited reference comes from: Title: "Judgment Days: Lyndon Baines Johnson, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Laws that Changed America" Author: Kotz, N

Interesting. I was a barely competent sysadmin that couldn't contain my interest in learning how to develop software. So, over the last 6 months I messed around with Vim and Emacs/ Git, Hg, and Bazaar/ and Erlang, Ruby, Lua and Python. I se

I had to choose "2 generations" because my maternal grandfather came over from Russia ~1901. However, my paternal great-grandfather was a full-blooded Native American. I'm not sure this poll can be that insightful as there are simply too ma

pg put it this way[1]: " 1. Single Founder Have you ever noticed how few successful startups were founded by just one person? Even companies you think of as having one founder, like Oracle, usually turn out to have more. It seems unlikely

The problem I have found is that many supposedly-good sales people seem to set customer expectations too high. After the fact, there is a lot of effort expended on easing customer concerns. I'm not a good salesperson either, as I will easil

I realize this is an old converstaion, but, just so you know, Motorola bought Symbol about 5 years ago, but more recently, Motorola was split up into two companies: Motorola Solutions (B2B focused-> Symbol is a part of this business), a

I'd rather see them come out brandishing the Palm brand, and acquiring Fon, and then going after a "home cloud" machine. We could use the "unlimited" home connections we already pay for that are often pretty good (<40ms latency, at leas

I am considering moving to Virgin because of the data option, but I have done exactly what you describe you want to do 3 years ago. I currently use Straight Talk, which is sold by Wal-Mart, run by Carlos Slim's telco (he's _the_ telco playe

My understanding, as an outside observer, is that DDG is more about building a community (similar to HN, but probably more like metafilter). I get this idea from their offering of an XMPP service and site-specific syntax, so I may be off, b

Considering you offer football, how much effort would it take for you to offer baseball as well (as has been mentioned elsewhere in these threads)? Basketball or hockey seem like good candidates as well. I figure the logic is similar, no? A

I'm not sure this is well-known, and it doesn't appear to be given the comments here, but Groupon offers a self-service option (i.e. not "featured") where their take is just 10%. I feel that is a relevant, and often overlooked, option for t

The ensuing discussion was very helpful for someone like me that is learning. The underlying topics have been intimidating, but have been made much less so by this discussion (YMMV). These discussions often have so much jargon in them, that

I swear to god my memory of my early lurking on HN was you contributing in a way that I learned something, but since I registered (and you had an exit), you seem more content in fucking with people. I just don't get it.

As someone learning, I figured out pretty quickly from many forum threads about this topic, that I was simply too ignorant to be confident in writing solid PHP. I am in no rush to do anything useful (just having fun), and I'm trying to conc

This is interesting to me because I've become obsessed with the idea of running a 10W, ARM-based system headless, that serves webpages (i.e. HTTP) with the requested data via my LAN. You can leave something like that on all the time, and ha

If you are concerned about such logging issues, you could use Level 3's servers. They operate 6 DNS servers at 4.2.2.1 through 4.2.2.6. I've heard people claim L3 discourages this, but from my use, that doesn't appear to be the case.

I think you should look at the HN community as a model, rather than 4chan. Consistent pseudonyms, tied to karma seems to work. No?
