My mom was almost in a bad car accident due to something like this. she was walking in a strip mall when a car plowed into a dry cleaners about 10 feet ahead of her. Her friend almost fainted. it was a teen and she said she accidentally pre

valid point, but doubtful that the age distribution is so skewed. perhaps an argument can be made for younger drivers better able to react and re-take control of the car through cool headed calculation and the sheer mental agility that youn

Are they still supporting the herokugarden editor? That thing was awesome since designers could get started w/o installing anything at all. Feels like they are no longer supporting that. Is that right?

Here is another option for you. Look long and hard at your business and your partners. Decide if you want to compete w/ Ask.com (maybe you do) and also entertain the possibility of switching directions and doing something different. Maybe s

I think you are being sarcastic, but to me, this is a great move. Yahoo clearly can't cut it in search, but they do know what is going on in the portal/news/email space. I don't know the terms of the deal, but assuming it was decent, they j

i think the key is the last sentence: "Was it worth it? It comes down to deciding what horrifies you more: the possibility of waking up one day and realizing you never took a shot at your dream or the possibility of losing your house."

here is another option. buy a newer used car for the price of a cheap older car. how? At least until about 9 months ago, used hyundais of the post 2005 vintage were steals. hyundais post 2005 are extremely reliable, yet people still feel it

i am about as pro-green as it gets. However, I am really uncertain about whether passenger trains are a good idea. In most countries they are subsidized. the upkeep costs are high...the US is a very geographically sparse place... I'd much r

this is no surprise. who designed appengine. it is poor. they should stop trying to host the entire thing and provide low level APIs like amazon does w/ S3 and SQS.

I think you may be completely right about hacker cred. However, this is a business and the bottom line is Yahoo is frankly struggling and has no business focus. This is essentially the executive's fault. I remember watching both Yang and pr

correct. its not a wealth transfer. its a wealth revaluation. or since most ppl assumed they had that money and spent other money on that assumption, it could also be called 'wealth destruction'

Sure. I am not saying we shouldn't have a secondary market. I am saying: "Hey if professional traders did not exist, the markets may be a bit slower but it'll still work." So yes, they provide liquidity but...at least in today's markets the

I agree w/ your point except the part about trading being a value-added activity. Liquidity, if you ask Warren Buffett, is overrated. When people trade AAPL, for example, there is a loser and a winner. The real value is not created by those

Its OK to fail here.It gives people the courage to innovate and take chances.

I am sorry. I think this is a dumb idea that will set you up for failure. This makes one person the bottleneck, and the startup very rigid and inflexible. Just go get a real team, convince great coders of your idea--people you can trust--an

Its not the worst in the US. I'd say the US is pretty good. Generally ppl are left to be who they are. Its very homogeneous societies like Japan and Korea that have the worst problems. The pressure to conform is high and everyone gangs up o
