Filter this into a prioritized list that you see cursory potential to solve a problem, ordered by size of the problem (in terms of market size or cost). Take #1, create some assumptions and subject it to a "validation towel off" by speakin

I dropped FF b/c of the memory leak. As a test, on a spare mac I wrote a script that launched FF and Chrome simultaneously and visited 10 websites I frequent. They both had similar clean profiles. After roughly two days of continuous refr

Your friend has institutional knowledge, education and potential drive to get out of his career slump. A CS degree in a helpdesk job is a misalignment of resources and a risk to the overall motivation of the team. Help him realize his goa

If you enjoy the challenge of breaking into systems, consider becoming an "ethical hacker" while continuing to grow your programming skills. Break open SICP ( http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/ ) and go at it. Put the focus on learning and thi

And if the screenshots are accurate, I'd say FB still has some UI work to do.

No preview? Only Kindle? I'd be curious to know if this eBook/MixergyNotes touches on funding ventures other than just YC.

Yup. Basically people at the top: - like pet projects that streamline or strengthen. - love projects that save money (time is money). - adore projects that bring in money Top earners show they can do all three.

Ask like an adult, without confrontation. Don't show achievements, demonstrate value. Request that compensation be in line with your contributions. While you're at it, relate to the corporate goals and your potential impact in future opport

How is this different from Mint (that is free and syncs with all the accounts)?

MLK and Lombard (Pigtown). I consider downtown cause it takes me 7 minutes to get to the waterfront. This is first pass at throwing the concept around to test. Ideally I'd be looking to house 3-4 start ups with occupants of compatible ski

Yea I definitely think a live-in space would be more like what I'm thinking. The building is coded for 4-5 occupants with large communal spaces and easy access to the major transportation arteries.

On #4, I gladly (along with apparently nearly 4,000 others) have paid $2,500 a year in subscription fees to an investing newsletter done by a heavyweight in the industry. Knowledge gained has more than made up for the high cost. The quest

Perhaps a rethink is needed of bringing the public sentiment into the equation by making this communique open. I appreciate that it does shed more light into the strong dilution resistant finance. However, the round particulars are privat

Bravo guy. Mike Lynch can perhaps get a takeaway from this. One day, when you make it and all the little script kiddies look at how you did it, they'll fall upon this and learn something.

No problem! One more thing I forgot (an ancillary benefit), about once a week what I'm doing leads to conversations that I didn't expect to have. Wireframing & coding have both lead to meetings, contacts and a couple consulting contra

I live in DC, my commute is 1.5 hrs/day on the Metro. I consider this my time. No internet, no cell phone. I set a goal "theme" for each week, it could be getting a project done, move along an idea, learn something new, whatever. Each we

Yea I understand you aren't pushing to the graph. The point was that until I actually see/feel/use/fall in love with it (well, not that far) I am very hesitant against sharing about the app in order to get an invite. That's probably just

Hi gush - Definitely the way things are written and presented can use a bit of polishing and help adoption. I sent an email to your notifier along the same lines. I do have a dropbox account and don't use it very much. I think overall the

Also, after receiving an invite, I am urged to create an account and then there is "One last step!"?!???! What's the step? Download a tiny program that watches my computer and uploads photos that it finds. REALLY? Yes, I will be skipping

Really? And where's the call to action for that? I see a text input box, two buttons for Sharing on FB and Twitter. I also don't understand the significance of the 1-2-3 step indicator. From a UI perspective it doesn't tell me where I a

Scammy to ask me to link to FB, give you access to everything, then make me "wait for an invite" or try to get 3 friends to advance my spot.

It all depends on your definition of "some start up". A mobile fruit stand costs $25 for licensing fees and around $250 in inventory around these parts. On the other hand, launching a domain registrar is looking more like a startup busine
