"In a free market, prices are determined by what buyers want" - sure for products but it is not entirely true when it comes to compensation. If janitors, in some united way, stopped cleaning our bathrooms for minimum wage then we would pay

turntable.fm is more then just an internet radio station. I've been disappointed by those for the last generation (besides NPR) - now with turntable.fm, I'm literally listening all day

I'm commenting more on the story the media will run then the end result. I agree that the end result will likely benefit lobbyists and hurt any consumer-to-consumer services. Is that bad though? If people don't trust this type of service, w

When the major media picks up this whole rent-a-room-to-a-stranger-fiasco the bad guys will be AirBNB and the good guys will be the roomorama (and other competitors that capitalize on it)

YC does not hide the fact that HN is a tool for their needs. They have made no claims to be an unbiased news source so we can't really hold them to that standard.

future prediction: the right will claim that it would hurt small businesses, as far from opposite this statement is. What they mean to say is it would hurt the profitable businesses that have lobbyists and fund their campaigns

Violence will most certainly not solve the issue and seems ironically to be a typical male response. Where these men were truly snickering at the fact women were speaking? Correlation does not always mean causation. I don't know what would

I think stating in that way; "Science tries to keep religion at arm's length" makes science sound biased and negative. Really Science is just founded in evidence that can be observed and measured which doesn't mix with faith based beliefs n

I think if the broader public knew about this it could damage AirBNB but at this point I'm guessing 90% of AirBNB customer base doesn't follow TC or HN and therefore will not be aware of the substantiated risk to their possessions. Maybe af

The wordpress vs blog analogy isn't really the same. If you have a FAQ page then it is very likely you already have a website. Adding one more page with some google analytics shouldn't be too much work. On the other hand if I start with n

A FAQ page has to be one of the least technical parts of a web page. The addition of stats isn't very compelling either. It would be easier to setup event tracking in my analytic software then it would be to configure in a whole FAQ page. S
