Bottom line is that if you're middle class and don't have health insurance, a serious accident could bankrupt you. The system was designed with the idea that you don't exist, and would never actually pay the rack rates that hospitals charg

> 2) Don't give free content. Make me pay for it. If I like it I would. Nice in theory, but there are many markets where only 1 company will win, and it WILL be the ad-supported model. That's just how the math works.

This pressure is the natural misalignment of incentives of investors and entrepreneurs. It's a cliche, but it's true: investors want you to go big or go home. Their outcome is binary. The IRR they see gets killed if you take 15 years to e

Seriously? Creating that page just got Freshdesk on the HN homepage and hurt Zendesk's reputation very badly. That's a twofer in my book. The fact that Zendesk is using "analyst" payola smacks of the worst practices of four quadrant res

I love that if a company implodes, the employees who took options over cash can't go back and say, "hey, I worked way harder and gave up way more than I should have, so I need to take some cash out of the founder's pocket," yet Pincus think
