Favors near term profits far more than long term growth, which you could argue is not good for the longevity of the company. Plus, there would be competition over the seemingly most profitable projects. And there are projects that don'

The level of entitlement in the comments is incredible. People are actually getting angry that United is not honoring the exploit.

I think you could definitely be selective in the routes and hours you would operate - I like the idea of charging $20 per person and transporting 50-100 people at a time from major downtown centers (e.g. Civic Center to Downtown Berkeley)

I've always wondered why more people don't live in Oakland or Berkeley, which are both a relatively short commute to downtown SF. The housing prices are significantly cheaper, and especially in Berkeley, there seems to be a strong

I look at it and I think "Hmm...I wonder if 100daycalendar.com is taken?". And that I could produce and ship that for a significantly less.

Not to be at all dismissive of the findings and their significance, but this was a study funded and interpreted by a company that sells posture support products. Not done in conjunction with an academic research lab, but done on a company g

Yep, it's embarrassing and really unnecessary as HireArt sounds like a good idea and appears to be well executed. If you look back at many of their posts, there's at least one newly created account and a few reused accounts adding

One model you should consider is pairing up the poor (but with insight and vision on the issues at hand) with tech talent from around the world. Tech talent can be donated time either remotely or on-site as part of the founding teams. At le

If this were written by an aspiring actor, refusing to live a life of non-fame, putting his family and loved ones through hardship because he refuses to take that steady job, how much differently would this be perceived?

There are a bunch of comments here that say something along the lines of "F the clones, outperform them. Execution beats ideas, etc." While you should absolutely focus on creating the best product and best service, you are doing y

That could definitely make sense. Vegas might even put up some capital to make it easier for people to visit and put their hard earned dollars to good use. I can also imagine that from an infrastructure standpoint building across desert you

So who wants to start a company? I'll uh...come up with the business plan. Seriously though, this would be an incredible project to work on. I wonder, outside of Elon Musk, who would take on the challenge?

So now we have the Uber for housecleaning, laundry/dry cleaning, cooking, shopping, babysitting(?), and at some point everything else under the sun that falls into the consumer home services umbrella. These business use technology and

The patent trolls are already on it, patenting crowd-sourcing as a method of patent defense. This will inevitably result in the shut down of Ask Patents in a stunning fit of irony.

So...let's create a reverse auction platform for self-pay surgeries? Not at all sure what the regulatory issues would be around that, but seems like it would make sense especially when you add in time and availability of specialist sur

I like these types of businesses. Simple, useful technology for which the success of the business depends almost entirely on the grit and hustle of the team. Your greatest asset will be a killer sales team. All the comments on this page abo

I'll echo radicalbyte's comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5911792 ) which is that Adobe doesn't care about the casual user who pirates their software. It's extremely expensive software that th

I wouldn't phrase it as a question of Good vs. Bad, but rather Necessary vs. Unnecessary. For me, it's a return-on-investment question, whether the 2 years and $100k+ in tuition would advance my ambitions more than 2 years of building and $

When you say crowdsourcing, how exactly do you crowdsource? Are you pulling from people who sign up online somewhere? Or is it just euphemism for outsourcing?

I'm not agreeing / disagreeing on both the issues at hand here (US CEOs get paid too much, US corporations don't pay enough in taxes), but it's important to take these statistics with a huge grain of salt. In any given year, a corporation's

Just an interesting note to point out that the man who's wife spoke with Obama did get a lot of calls / interest from companies across the country, but because of a custody agreement needs to stay in North Texas, which I'd be willing to bet
