When you say 'browser bars' I am thinking of an address bar in browsers today. Is that what you are referring to? I am thinking of something that does not interact with the user but captures some of their web usage based on their consent. W

Question- Would people be more willing to let a platform track browsing activity if there was 100% transparency? Asking this question for the startup that we are working on, where we want to get permission from users to follow their certain

I was trying to test the same hypothesis too and the fact that there was only 1% increase in students with math proficiency told me that perhaps the gap between the two groups is not closing. Otherwise, you would see a much higher number of

I wonder if this experiment will just remain an experiment because politically Stanford is not ready for open free education. I remember reading an article recently in NY Times that highlighted how Stanford had two opposite camps of opinion

Some thoughts- Instead of teachers and school plans, have you thought about having a parent/student plan? Every time to sign up to receive messages, you get X free and then you have to pay to receive the rest. This way you are pushing the b

We just submitted our application and I have to admit that YC's application questions themselves are a great exercise for anyone who is starting a new business. I felt that all the questions really made us think about each and very aspect o

I couldn't agree with you more. What you just said reminded me of how IBM first reacted to personal computers. The crux of innovation is disrupting the existing model. Thats what Apple did with its iPod and iTunes product. The author has me

I would not be worried about this style of hiring, it is much better than the traditional cold 'interview' with questions and answers because working at a startup is a two way street. Doing a project, internship or just contract work for a

I am not propagating that anyone should be allowed to have a truck on the NYC road, but why is it restricted only for movie studios and utility companies? Why not look at other industries that might value from such a permit. Even the author

He did break the rules, but these rules were irrational and he didn't hurt anyone in the process. Thats the ethical and moral dilemma that hustlers have to deal with every day. This is an inspiring story, but when I hear about founders chea

The problem is in the distribution of wealth. The nation is growing at 7-8% a year compared to 0-2% growth in US, but most of the wealth in India is in the hands of 5% of the population. The middle class is slowly growing, but not at the ra

The article also reveals that as Americans now that our country has evolved over past around 300 years of democracy, there is a sense of 'entitlement' that has come with it. This entitlement is in opposition to fostering curiosity and risk

One thing I want to mention is that this article sheds a lot of negative light on adjunct faculty with no strong arguments of why. From my university experience, I actually got a lot more out of faculty that were loaned from the business wo
