I believe it's trying to point out the currently flawed mindset of the valley. The same mindset that would fail to build any of the businesses that you listed above ;)

Wow, talk about complete BS... I'm an entrepreneur that started because I didn't have access to capital. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I like that the article is about hacking your bad habits, but at the end of the day procrastination is exactly that - a bad habit. It isn't who I am, and so I think the best way to fight it is to replace it with a better habit...

I don't think the OP meant believing in a set of made up "core values" or even in a marketing message but rather in the vision. It shouldn't be something that can be leveraged against anyone (i.e. Staying late) but it sh

Our private data is captured by so many companies along the way from its origin to its destination these days. These companies then use and also sell it to others. It's the carriers, platform, middlemen, and even the apps you run (I&#x

You're right in your approach. However, in the capital market founders don't usually get to dictate their salaries or suck in more of the loot than is absolutely necessary. That's why VCs keep a good portion of the control. N

I agree. I think the issue isn't that money is being spent but that it's being spent on the wrong ideas. Split that 10m into 5 and help five different founders who have taken their time to really prove their concept and build a re

This naive view that if is someone is silly enough to throw money at your silly idea you should take it isn't just hurting the current industry by setting unrealistic expectations but will also be the driving force behind the collapse

Although I dislike the term "disruptive", this is a great case of just that. Uber aggressively disrupted the taxi industry without regard to rules or regulations and is now seeing the side of the law that appreciates those. I pers

Very likely considering they've also split out PayPal to make eBay more of a single-focus entity (read, easy to sell off).

Well put. I think this time the bubble won't burst but slowly collapse. Insane valuations (ex. Slack) won't be possible and the employees who are making more than their ROI and get the hope of get rich quick option plans will have

Consolidation in this space, in my opinion, is putting the future of the Internet in great jeopardy. I'm not sure exactly where we're heading, but i have a feeling the days of a "free" internet are numbered.

I think a very important aspect of scaling is separating responsibilities. In most startups it's often the case that a single person takes on multiple tasks. Those make sense in the early stages, but as the company grows they become a

I think the real "issue" here is that those paywalled content publishers want to get paid but also want the free advertising that comes with having a well indexed site. It's a pretty interesting subject in my opinion because
