There is a bit of a survivor bias in this challenge, as the tools that are no longer being made corresponds well to tools which nobody remembers.

Thanks. You can try joining the beta, we'll let you know when it is available. It's a little unfortunate that the term argument is perceived so negatively. It is the formal term though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument These types of

It's not a forum and it's not a movement(yet?). It's a web platform designed for 1 on 1 debates with spectators as well as argument presentation. But it combines rules and simple natural language processing. For example, one of the rules is

I thought the founder of RenRen was an American? Or at least a Chinese in America. It's not his fault that Mark did not make a serious effort at internationalization until recently. You can't expect to start thinking about China 3-4 years a

Facebook, on the other hand, "has clearly stated they don't want to get into the search business. Facebook users tend to use Google search. Facebook's ads business does not displace our advertising. I'm somewhat perplexed by the obsession

But that's implying that working at Google won't be as rewarding. There's a lot of pressure to execute and iterate and so on when you're doing a startup. People sometimes forget to sit down and relax. Being in a less risky, less stressful p

It's true some successful company are the results of serious pivots. But I bet some 80% of them are the result of an initial good idea. IMO you shouldn't build a company from a bad idea, but you can in your spare time try to validate an ide

... Tech companies is not an artificial limitation... just happens to be what we're talking about right now. The numbers cited are about SV startups, I think if you look outside SV there's way more than 5% female founders.

How many male English majors are founding companies? I would think being an English major is the first problem, you need more women in CS/Engineering first.

Most people I know would say that's easily solvable by abortion. What I'm thinking she means is that she might suddenly decide that having a kid is a good idea. In which case the question is justified.

I watched the video, he's basically a consultant for their marketing team. More interestingly, this implies that Intel will be increasing their consumer oriented marketing. To me that says they're going to be ambitous about media and Sandyb

Except that the role of piracy is anything but clearcut. As Tim O'Reilly famously said in 2002 [1]: "Obscurity is a far greater threat to authors and creative artists than piracy." False dichotomy much? I'm now an avowed ebook pirate, and
