I have a brilliant suggestion for Bountii's theme song/catchphrase: "The quicker picker-upper, Bountii!" The rational being it surely helps pick up some great deals online.

I think it has to do with the dominance of american culture that is changing every aspect of their lives. You mentioned Jet Li, Jackie Chan. They are more known internationally for their American movies than anything they made in HK. Als

The university of waterloo is the best engineering university in Canada but I think Ottawa has far more startups than Waterloo.

Giving money to Mugabe and his ilk is not charity. It is stupidity.

".but I think that's what he's going for: To make me (and the federalis) think he's a "nice guy"." I don't think Gates cares what you think. "History has shown rather completely that charity is useless or harmful" Wow. What history are you

1-Why not make it a facebook widget? 2-I take it that it has reminder emails sent at specific times?

I would guess it was due to the previous difficulty of transferring injured people when today it is easily done with ambulance/automobile/helicoptor. Also, back then I imagine people would be far more reluctant to see a doctor so the serio

What's with the trashing of reddit lately? Is it not the largest YC success? I did post a negative comment and for that I apologize. I was just annoyed he did not read the article and his original, unedited post made that obvious(it was th

I am very disappointed at the editing. I understand if the user includes profanity or hate speech but nitpicking? It just seems like censorship when it doesn't need to be.

The article is not about evolution. I hope your mother has nothing to do with the science curriculum. This city wouldn't happen to be Kansas would it?

The problem with f# is that its basically one guy working on it. If he were to get hit by a car, the language would die. I stopped using it until it is no longer a MS research project.

How do the new internet radio fees effect you guys? If they nail you by claiming each person listening is listening to a unique radio station, the fees could become insane. Not only that but a vast majority of people use pirated mp3's. If

Do they realize that Coolie............................... is a racial slur? Also the article mentions "50% Silicon Valley firms are run by Indians", Any of you valley people know if this is true?

Upmodded for not sensing blatant sarcasm.

Downmodded as irrelevant to startup news.

by Caligula 19y ago
You are doing it again. You try to make a point but suddenly mention an irrelevant point that is correct but unrelated to the argument you are trying to make. Yes that is one of PG's themes(habits can be changed) but it does not relate

Your quoting PG's essay. I was responding to the comment that mine is under. I should not have responded as confrontation is bad on boards that could lead to meeting others in real life. Basically I found the comment that I commented on d

Apologies. I meant a large amount of YC companies.

The quote "ignore manipulative ads" is not in his post. His post appears to demonize advertising in general. Also, how can you say "Buy stuff when the focus is on creating something valuable, not convincing you that something is valuable."

Key to Karma(k2k) 1-Agree with postings 2-Anecdote from real life humanizing yourself by mixing in family 3-?? 4-Profit!! I kid I kid. I enjoy your posts but am unsure how a anti-consumer/anti-corporate/anti-advertising posting is modded

The only riff raff you get will be unsuccessful sales/marketing people. Your basically going to be paying for an idea. I am inexperienced but from what I have read, ideas are not worth a whole lot... I would hope that the answer to your q

Fallacy: If they are sales geniuses/marketing geniuses, they won't need you to get the 15k. They don't need a YC. They have the loot and the connections already. The good thing about technical entrepreneurs is that they know if their proj
