Do we really need another Twitter like platform that’s based around the idea of “rewards”? Wasn’t app.net enough? Oh, but blockchain...

I think that’s a terrible oversimplification... I think requiring a more thought out business plan (ie. one that includes steps to turn profit within some timeframe). Some investors I’ve met do this and do it well, while still investing in

I think the “problem” here isn’t one big problem with a single process (VCs throwing money on bad ideas), but rather a combination of issues that together result in so much failure. There’s a lot of venture money out there, and like some ot

I believe reddit does something like that where they include only a portion of a thread with a big “view full thread” button. I think that’s a good idea, but I fear some users won’t realize there’s more or may not understand the abrupt chan

I get why this needs to exist, but it feels more complicated than it should be and that sort of “magical” decision that’s based on ML is going to confuse both web developers and web users. It might be worth it, but I don’t think it is just

I'm pretty sure the reason only some of the currency symbols aren't correct has to do with the database. If you think about it, the item names are most likely coming from a database that just might not be in the right encoding (la

I feel that way too, but I think that's because many founders are opting for funding too early and build their entire operation on money they don't have. When they're funded it's great, but when investors who are expecti

This take comparison charts to a whole new level. I wonder if this was meant for iOS users to try and persuade their friends to switch. I don't see it being so persuasive standalone.

It was inevitable :) On a side note, as anyone who ran .NET/IIS in production knows, when the 500 page has an error (couldn't reach the session store, ran out of disk space, etc.) this would be shown with no way to remove it. It m

I completely agree. These questions should be the ones you ask before starting any kind of business, and regardless of your pricing. It's really hard to convert a user that's already using a competing service just on price because

Another important thing - when you want something you should ask for it. So many times I didn't ask because I _thought_ it wouldn't happen...

The concept of an ads company blocking "some" ads that _it_ decides aren't good for users sounds a bit like google blocking its competitors, doesn't it?

Very true, learned-from-experience type advice. Some banks my not really get the need and ask a bunch of questions, but in my experience they were more excited for the opportunity to charge more credit card fees :)

I think the _idea_ of a honeypot page is great because it gives you a chance to re-engage with a potential user (not necessarily customer). There's obviously more than one way to style it, but just like every good marketing how you pre

In short - highlight what Twitter is really good at, which is delivering bits of fleeting information and working in commerce. The long version - ads are great, but they cause a misalignment between the service users are happy with and the

I think it's a nice idea and probably fits the use case of some small blogs, but for anything that's more serious you'd want much more than just unique visitors and referrers. If you have a website that is making you money (s

I don't think you have to look at drug dealers to know most of the items on that list... good product, the need for innovation, and ultimately the goal of making money are all somewhat common sense in the business world.

I think that without knowing the y-axis of that chart it's hard to judge whether it's really not worth it to even be listed. Mac apps are more niche than their mobile counterparts. Why is a discussion for a different time, but _se

You understand you're describing the App Store, right? Apple reviews every app, there's no malware/spyware, apps are sandboxed.
