I have the Nexus 7. Bought it while on vacation thinking that if I didn't like it, I would just give it to my toddler. It turns out I love it and take it with me everywhere. The performance is good, and the form factor is perfect for me. YR

Agreed, and my comment was not meant to suggest that startups should build the horizontal platforms, but rather to look at what platforms are developing (i.e. being built by others), and look for new verticals within that. So, I think we ar

Interesting. As someone eluded to in the post's comments, the "horizontal" can almost be thought of as a platform in some ways, where "vertical" are the individual product(s). So, if the "platform" does not exist yet, it may need to be bui

It seems to me that that key piece of advice in pg's essay: "Live in the future, then build what's missing." is just a more subtle way of expressing the "missing" heuristic described in this article: "Focus on enabling techno

The sad fact is, I think TSA type security is hear to stay, and won't lighten up very much, regardless of the facts that question its efficacy. Why? Picture this. Someone (likely a politician) crusades hard to have the TSA dismantled, and

100% agree - thank you. Similar to the advice you read on "creating your own luck", you need to put yourself in situations where "serendipity" can happen more easily. In other words, if you want to become an actor, move to L.A. If you wa

Having exited earlier this year from the start up I co-founded, I've been thinking a lot about this lately as I weigh up what to do next. We arrived at our start-up idea 10 years ago in much the way pg says you should, which was more by ac

There seem to be a lot of comments centered on “wow, this sounds great – I wish I could charge more” or “how do I find these high paying contracts”? Here’s one way. It may seem obvious to many, but I think it bears stating. If you are look

I'm curious, how much management experience do you have? More specifically, for how many years have you managed a company with 5 or more employees?

I read this article and immediately thought: "Cue the variations of 'I know! It's so hard when I have to wait for other to catch up!' comments." I was not disappointed. I'm reminded of the Oscar Levant quote: What the world needs is more

What would be extremely useful is an equivalent of Michael Hartl's "Ruby on Rails Tutorial" ( http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book ) for one of the more popular Python web frameworks... If someone knows of something sim

I should have been more clear. What I meant by those example is that the companies were not profitable in their early years, and paying employees may have been difficult without the capital they had raised.

hmmm...not sure I agree that "you can't raise money for your startup and you aren't making enough to pay your employees, your business sucks" . When funding dries up, even good businesses have a very difficult time raising capital, and it'

I don't think the concept of "don't force it" can be stressed enough. Something I've learned living in Austin where there is a thriving start up community (or at least many people who want to do a start up), and from attending SXSW, there

Stephen R. Covey once said something along the lines of "In any given situation, you can be right or you can be kind. It's better to be kind." What you said is correct. Said differently (i.e. in a more kind manner), it also would have been

There's no need for that. Why do you feel you need to be sarcastic and rude?

Can anyone recommend a similar tutorial covering one of the python web frameworks? (i.e. complete ecosystem - git, testing, deployment)
