Yeah the world is really a worse off place because they took a bunch of DDoS sites down. What a bummer.

Network of people working there, perks, quality, brand. Why do people do anything for twice the price?

I think you're drastically underestimating how hard it is to start a co-working space. Why would anyone want to work at your unheard of space instead of WeWork? How are you possibly going to attract people at even half their prices?
454.
by a13n 8y ago
I don't agree that landlords can easily replicate WeWork. First of all WeWork has an incredible brand, and great processes/assets that let them run co-working spaces more profitably. Amazon seems like a counter point to your focus

Why would you lock your money up for years in a bond at a lower yield than you can now get with Robinhood?

Can't we just use a private keyword like other languages? Why the # symbol. Just seems random and confusing. Also, will there be a way to do protected?

This is massive news. Banks are going to have to decide whether they want to raise their rates to compete, or face bleeding customers. The best part is that the money comes from merchants and credit card companies, and is being returned to

It's definitely an interesting report of some of Brex's aggregate data, but certain statements are inaccurate and misleading. Not sure if this was intentional or not. For example: > CRM: 61% of startups use Copper (formerly) Pr

Sure it is, they're still raising venture capital, and they haven't exited yet. It's a startup, just in its later stages.

I have the opposite opinion. Why would anyone invest in Uber over Lyft? Uber has a brand people hate, and is losing market share to Lyft. They have room to shrink. Meanwhile, Lyft has a brand people love, is taking market share from Uber, a

You have a coefficient with each of your friends on Facebook, that represents how close you are with them, based on how much you interact with them on Facebook. Coefficient ranking is probably sorting your friends list by coefficient to sho

This seems extremely reasonable to me. Vine was launched in January 2013. Back then FB and Twitter were significantly more competitive than they are now. Twitter must have been terrifying to Facebook. Of course they would shut down their AP

There are plenty of network effects. To start a new ridesharing company, you have to get drivers and riders. You'd have to offer them a ton of incentives to start driving/riding with your service, when the existing options are wel

Yeah, you'd think, but this survey of 1,000 players said 68.8% had spent money on in-game purchases. Maybe they somehow managed to target just the 0.1% of players who spend money (according to you), but it seems highly unlikely that t

I've been working on a startup in the user feedback space [1] full-time for the past 3.5 years, and love to see the topic of user feedback on Hacker News. Uber doesn't want your feedback because they care about your ideas/opi

At first glance, I thought Steam was in big trouble. Last MAU numbers I could find were 90m for Steam and 75m for Fortnite. A game store is a marketplace, in startup terminology. Epic already has a lot of the consumer side, and 60% lower fe

by a13n 8y ago
Why do they need to attract consumers? Isn't Fortnite already the most popular game in the world? From what I can find, latest report of Steam MAU is 90 million people, and latest report of Fortnite MAU is 75 million. They already have

I'm pretty sure they should say worldwide. Can't find a company more valuable than MSFT, so I'm not sure why the title says "US Company" when it could say "worldwide".

Most valuable US company, or worldwide?

For e-commerce that argument makes sense, but not for advertising. They lost 30 minutes of primetime eyeballs from tens or hundreds of millions of people that would have seen ads but didn't.

Back up for me. Facebook makes ~$105k in revenue per minute [1]. Since the outage was seemingly only US-based, and it lasted ~30 minutes, this outage probably cost them just over a million bucks. Pretty staggering to think about. [1]: http

Only if the author prioritizes short-term profits over long-term UX, which they haven't done so far.
