Geoid measurements aren't a measurement of what the earth's surface actually looks like, but what it looks like mathematically through gravitational measurements. Because the Earth's uneven distribution of mass, the object never looks like

They'd have a negative association with it, since the site didn't give them what they wanted. You don't want to start your first impression with a negative.

Arrington wants to keep the joke going. He goes to unusual lengths with his April Fools jokes. Again, take everything he says with a grain of salt for the next 24 hours.

You can't predict every variable. Sometimes one vote helps bring it to the front page and it picks up steam. I suspect the Instagram brand gave this website extra attention.

Anything that makes you stand above the crowd of job seekers and get noticed is (almost) always a smart move. Do you think Instagram is thinking "no, this girl is clearly an idiot?" No, they're clearly going to notice her and give her cons

Looking for people interested in the mobile photo space, specifically server side development, but iOS experience is awesome as well.

It's a good site and a good service, but this isn't anything new and I question its appearance on the front page of HN. We've talked about TheFunded before: - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=153778 - http://news.ycombinator.com/item

Silicon valley romanticizes the startup life. We read about Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs and dream of doing 1/10 of what they did. The reality is that the startup life can be hell, and if you aren't prepared to walk through f

This article misses a very important point: that Facebook wouldn't be required to start reporting its financial earnings until May 2012, 120 days after the last day of its current fiscal year. http://mashable.com/2011/01/03/facebook-ipo-m

Title's wrong. Growing by 300% means Reddit would be at 1 billion pageviews. Grow by 100%, you get 500 million. Grow by 200%, you get 750 million. Grow by 231.6%, you get 829 million.

This is not about the technical aspect at all or about being an early mover. Great companies solve the technical problem and the distribution problem. Groupon's value is in its distribution and its ability to scale that to the moon. Don'

Different lifestyles work for different people. I know Seth -- he's energized and motivated by the work at hand. He's happiest when he's working. That doesn't mean he doesn't know how to have fun. We were racing bicycles around Google Ve

As my entrepreneurial mentor taught me, it's 50% about solving a problem and 50% about figuring out distribution. Groupon's advantage isn't tech, it's massive distribution and thousands of well-trained sales reps with strong relationships

I'd appreciate a citation to back up your claims. I'm pretty sure I could also find plenty of economists on the other side as well.

AirBnB's Brian Chesky is a damn good story. I'd make every aspiring entrepreneur watch his Startup School talk if I could.

This may end up being a wise choice for the company (I think Ev is happier now), but you don't have to be a detail-oriented leader to be a great CEO. You just have to be great at finding people who complement your strengths and weaknesses

1) Something to take notes. It's like a lecture hall, so you'll have room if you really want a laptop. Don't get distracted though. 2) Many of the speakers hang out after their talks, so be sure to get some quality time and have a few que

It was so bizarre that I had to post it on Mashable. It's already on top of Reddit as well. I'd say they're getting the bang for their buck with this one already. It also comes with a slew of easter eggs, starting with the basketball at 0:
