Google doesn't get social... that's all. They demand everyone that applies for a job knows algorithms, but they fail to understand that to nail social, they need to hire people with a different type of intelligence: emotional and psychologi

Isn't there a chicken and egg problem for new entrants? There's not a lot of photos to discover if you're building something brand new.

The problem for me, as someone who working on a side project, while also holding a full-time job is that I get so sleepy and tired while I'm at work, and when I return back home I get so energized and don't feel like sleeping. It's like eve

Exactly my thoughts... wasn't 2008 doomsday?? If so.. doesn't that mean it's GONNA be summer soon (let alone summer came and freaking passed...)? I think we should stop the macro outlook and worrying. It's pointless. Focus on what you're do

The best startups are those that show their data in a way that feeds into some psychological need, or become immensely useful as more and more people use it. Anyone can also create a text box where you can type in 140 word status messages,

Adding incentives to boring activities sucks. But adding a layer that helps people measure their progress/achievements is absolutely not bullshit, if done well. Why? Because of human nature. Saying it's bullshit is fighting against our intr

Imagine launching your startup on the day Amazon AWS goes down? On another note.. why don't these power outages ever affect Amazon.com from going down? Come'n, eat your own dog food!!!

Is it just me or does Coverhound and Leaky just look like lipstick on a pig? It's backed by big names like YC, but in the end what distinguishes them from "thin affiliate" sites that get penalized by Google? Ok, so they both have slightly b

So they get paid once for every affiliate they refer. Seems like a site someone will visit once or twice in their lifetime.. and not a "sticky" site like Reddit. What are they going to do if Google penalizes their site (even by mistake) for

Are there standards that govern exactly what constitutes an AAA vs an AA? If so, who makes those standards? S&P? A third party that oversees all these organizations? If the standards are vague, then it's all subject to interpretation. O

The ideal lifestyle if life was perfect would be that of Genghis Khan. There'd be no use for religion, spirituality, philosophy, etc. All of philosophy stems from "I can't have everything that I want, so...". But if you can have everything

When will it be time to stop looking to "growth potential" as a valid reason for huge valuations? 5 years from now? 10 years from now? Seriously, when can we stop and value a company for what it is right right now, not in some dreamy future

Umm... An ordinary GUI with folders to share pictures is not Flickr. No photographer, or ordinary person will want to use that to share photos...

To be fair, this is a good way to make money if you don't plan on gambling often.. like once every 5 years. The probability of losing all your money with such a small number of occurrences is low.

This is so funny. I like it. +1 for humor. Parse.com just sounds so ordinary.

What's the point of this? Using terms like CPM makes no sense in this context. Come back to us when you're making $1129 with a million impressions, buddy.

Not sure how useful this will be. Synching and authorization are very specific to each app.

The problem is that most people don't really like to see negative feedback/reinforcement. When they see they're not fit, or not getting enough sleep compared to others, they'll get discouraged. Any data is useful, but it's not very motivati

On the other hand, when PG says they're run by very nice guys, it's irritating 'cause it's an empty statement. We don't care if they're nice. Everyone thinks they're nice in this world. Nothing special about being nice.

Please, like AirBnb will cost his parents their living... AirBnb will always remain a very small niche

I agree. Everyone thinks they're "nice, good, honest" people. Being nice is easy. Being emotionally intelligent is hard. It's not enough to be sincere. The person who works and slaves at their day job until they're 50 and have a heart attac

Doesn't this achieve the exact same purpose as logging a combination of the user's IP address + user-agent + maybe some other stuff? Don't need no complicated, cunning technology to do this...

The girl who's house got ruined doesn't care if AirBnB falls apart, and the founders have to work for a red-tape, boring organization for the rest of the lives.

by Hisoka 15y ago
Just a side note.. have you guys ever wondered what the impact of this story would've been if AirBnB was not an YC company? That's a big reason why AirBnb is always talked about here. If this was just a regular, non-YC, non-funded company,

I'm glad someone called Tom out on that image he posted. It's minor in the entire scheme of things, but what irritates me are the casual comments and reactions like "That's ok.. haha, very funny!" It's like there's this cognitive dissonance

I also thought that pic was in bad taste... Seriously, why do we need that? People seem to be so conflicted. First, we say we should respect woman, and treat them equally, then we show pictures like this casually as if it's OK. I mean what
