Stopped reading at this collection of mental diarrhoea. "Because you get your news from copy-cat members of the state-controlled media. Because you are unwilling to ask this simple question… “What if it’s all a lie?”, and accept the p

Good ideas do come up routinely. Well, according to http://www.paulgraham.com/startupideas.html you can literally go and find good ideas right now and every day thereafter. It is also the basis of the Lean Startup Machine w

That is not an explanation. It's a supposition. Francis Collins, as the Head of the Genome Project, is the poster boy for those questioning atheism (maybe rightfully so shrug ) However, it does not change the fact your blog post is a

Que? I don't feel disempowered by the manifestation of human intellectual achievement. I would dial back your hyperbole. Culture (customs and norms) is an intrinsic aspect of a lot of institutions and organisations and works very wel

To distil - the new employer and their whole team must accommodate you as an individual so you do not piss off your old employer? Doesn't sound like the interview will go too well if the whole team is expected to work on a Saturday ju

I see that you like to post and then once questioned you like to edit the post to address the concerns as if you had written that way all along. This is HN, not Reddit. When you criticise something you are expected to give a credible reaso

Do you think you are the person that gets to be the final arbiter on whether the OP is or is not forming a startup? Do you think HN front page is a good start to scaling...? Why do you think you are qualified to pass judgement or even ques

It fits the criteria of being a startup. It scales and it is not spec work. Why do you think it is not a startup?

Unbounce. Sorry, I had typed Unbounce a few words before I used UB; I thought it was clear.

I tried to advocate this approach in military intelligence for information deep dives. It didn't go down too well haha. Great interview though and I am glad my thinking has been somewhat exonerated. Much appreciated.

Those sharing boxes are classic unbounce. Is UB your platform?

I won't give a subjective view, just concrete points. 1. The CTA is to enter an email but then the user is invited to click a register button. Which is it? I would recommend simply having an input box (not a button). You knock one u

You are right. Upon inspection the incident was far less threatening than reported. I was wrong. As an example of potential abuses by public departments selling data I think it still stands though.

What do you think a startup requires? The idea scales, it is not spec work. According to YCom criteria it is a startup. shrug

Quotation marks for startup as if you are trying to express disdain? You might want to actually structure a coherent, credible response otherwise you are simply lowering the quality of posts of HN. Regardless of your opinion of the idea&#x2

This is so wrong I don't know where to begin. Your comment is also blatantly ignorant of the high output of artistic work that was produced "on spec" during the renaissance and other artistic periods. 52 paintings in a year

I have seen this a number of times but the money goes to a charitable cause instead. Oprah Winfrey also pioneered it via television. Not totally sure why a random stranger would forward you money for procrastinating but that does not mean t

Previous comment used the term legally guilty. You then referenced Jimmy Carr as an example and used the words guilty inferring legal and moral guilt. He was guilty of neither but he had a public persona to protect and admit wrongdoing wher

I don't think AirBnB or Uber's execution is good at all. They are essentially cresting a wave that is about to smash into the breakwater of legislation. Soon both services will be either - a. Regulated out of existence b. Force

In what way is avoiding tax through a legal vehicle guilty of a crime? Do you volunteer extra tax when you don't have to? Tax avoidance/tax efficiency is not tax evasion.
