Yeah, your credit card company can take care of it for you. They'll send LinkedIn a chargeback if you contest the charge, and then someone at LinkedIn will probably take a look, since their money is on the line.

One flaw in your plan: Once you slip below 25 karma, you lose the ability to downvote comments.

Yeah, this is surprising from B&N. If Qdoba can track all the burrito purchases I make, B&N can surely keep track of what books I have. Once you have the data, making recommendations isn't rocket science.

downvote != disagreement If someone says something I don't agree with, but says it reasonably and with some sort of support, I'll reply instead of downvoting.

Also, it says they've started in the Bay Area. There's a definitely bias there, as the top-paid Google, Yahoo, and Cisco employees will be there, but the top-paid MSFT employees are surely in Redmond.

I'm sure some of it is still in the bank, but of the part that's been spent, a big share is people's salaries. They've been around over a year, and have 12 salaries to pay, including a management team full of former Microsoft and Expedia e

There is a perl module that you can use to search Google: http://search.cpan.org/~bstilwell/Net-Google-1.0.1/lib/Net/G... I'd imagine other languages have similar libraries.

Trains work well for short distances. The commuter rail from Baltimore to DC for $7, and 45 minutes is great. But if you're traveling 3+ hours, it's probably cheaper to fly. I recently rediscovered another underappreciated mode of transpo

TechCrunch wants you to launch your product at TC50 - so you should have a product. A beta is fine (I'd guess many of the TC50 are in beta stage). If you want to build the product between June 23 and TC50, after submitting just the idea, I

Because it's not a credible threat. People can't boycott indefinitely until there is a real alternative. If you don't buy gas today, you'll buy tomorrow, or next week.

Microsoft has a great and thriving research division, that comes up with great innovations. The trouble for MS is that they haven't been able to translate those into products well.

What's next, "suggested wall posts"? We think this is what you want to comment on this photo - click OK to make the comment. I'm fine with (and actually like) the "People we think you may know" on LinkedIn, because it actually gives me a

There's a place near UPenn that only serves bowls of cereal. Anything is possible! As a college student myself, one place really popular at school is an interesting non-chain yogurt shop that just started up this year, and it's not exactl

Yeah, people like free too much, irrationally so. Chipotle in Cambridge gave away free burritos (worth $6), and the line was over an hour long. That said, I don't think this spells doom for micropayments. A successful "donations" model is

Reading a TechCrunch article on HN is different than reading it on from TechCrunch; the discussion generated on Hacker News is often very interesting and high-quality, and I think is the reason most of us visit the site in the first place

Well, healthcare != drugs. Yes, better medications are a part of providing better health care, and Wal-Mart can help a lot with that. But there is much more to providing quality healthcare. I'm not criticising Wal-Mart - they're doing a
