Interesting question. I would think the answer as of currently, is no. That is less because forcing that restriction would be legal or illegal, and moreso because when you buy food at in-n-out you are not waving any rights or signing any do

The main reason this has not happened is that it requires the ad networks to trust the publisher on things like visits/impressions/clicks. If your server has the ability to say "Hey, Jane doe saw your ad just now" when s

Naval is such a genuinely nice and caring guy. So many investors say they are entrepreneur friendly, but hardly any of them live up to that when things get hairy. Naval is a guy who absolutely lives the mantra of putting entrepreneurs first

Is there any intention of adding a new type of incubator that isnt so location specific? For instance, I would love to be in YC- But just like many older (30+) folks, I have a family and simply cannot move to SF. The 'move to SF'

wow. I remember as a kid ~20 years ago playing with mercury (my grandfather was a dentist and had a 1lb bottle of the stuff for some reason) I think if I found mercury in my house I would literally just scoop it up and bring it to the fire

The way that these business's get past those regulations is pretty easy actually. They have multiple (and when I say multiple, i mean hundreds if not thousands) of payment 'accounts' (I think they are called pids) so if one o

Recommending them means nothing at all. That is practically the status quo when breaking up with another business, employee or whatever when it is done publicly. (and this obviously had to be public)

Although I have no direct knowledge, it feels like there is something going on behind the scenes forcing this reaction. If I had to guess, I would point the finger at Ghostery causing this. Lifehacker wrote¹ that Ghostery sells some data to

Thats like saying ad blockers cant win because you browse the web from view-source: Even in that case, If the pub wanted to, he could check to see if you requested additional ad-serving JS/images/resources from a request before sh

Its a race that (if the ad industry gets smarter) will be very hard for the ad blockers to match. Because publishers have control of the website, they can do things like randomize the div name, parameter names, javascript names, javascript

What are the other cars in the price range that can do these 0-60 and 1/4 miles times? Genuinely curious- I didnt think there were many even within .5 seconds of it (most start at 3.5 0-60's)

The GTR is 2.9 seconds, so the tesla is faster- Its also faster in the 1/4 mile as well, so this is kind of a big deal. I believe this is the fastest production car under 300k that you can buy.

The situation at reddit is appalling and the death threats and egregious harassment against Pao were wrong, and likely illegal in some cases. That said, my opinion of her is that she is far from the champion that this battle needs. I believ

Well, I will say they changed the title to be somewhat less damaging. It was "Over 100,000 call for the resignation of interim reddit CEO" - Now it reads as "Petition: Step down as CEO of Reddit Inc"
