Very Interesting Stuff. I can see the evaporative cooling happening in HN itself over the last year or so. Also, puts in perspective the correlation between the success of Yahoo Answers and their reputation system.

I think this could be one of the 2 things: 1. There is something else which is pre-occupying your subconscious mind. Probably something which you are trying to sideline as not a big deal, but subconsciously it is a big deal. Find out what t

I am essentially questioning the fact that 'transparency, tolerance and a fair court system' might not really be democratic ideals, or rather cannot consistently be associated with democracy. It is definitely possibly to acheive all of them

Again, I only referred to a communist form of governance, not the market. I understand China to have a communist form of governance (single party) and a capitalist market. India is definitely a lot more socialist than China and even the US.

When I said communist, I meant it with an obvious context to China - essentially not meant to say a communist society(as in socialism) but instead a communist single-party government. Similarly for Singapore. I understand China to be a lot

The rise of China will most likely prove the communist model to be the best model of governance. The growth that China has seen over the last 20 years has surpassed anything that any other country has ever achieved - even the US. And if a c

This is an amazing post. Thanks for laying out your version of the story which I feel is definitely more accurate. Why did you not decide to not pursue Wesabe for the long term ? As I understand, Mind did well in some places like immidiate

This seems like the right split. Also the founders would have the capacity to issue more shares - so if it takes longer than 4 years then they can issue stocks to whoever sticks around after that.

Couldnt agree more. Also I think 'convincing' anyone to do a startup is amazingly dangerous. Even in the situations that it can be done, it should not be. You cannot, or rather should not convince anyone on doing a startup. This is one aspe

Musk is an icon I cannot admire enough. His ex-wife is a gold-digger blogger I cannot hate enough. The least she could do is to leave him alone with his work.

I think the internet has this culture going of generalizing (making rules) even with little experience. It really takes a couple of tries, experience and insight to decouple correlation with causation. Sachin is still too early in the game,

"Beware of associates". I cannot stress this enough. DO NOT EVER WASTE YOUR TIME MEETING WITH ASSOCIATES IF THERE ARE NO PARTNERS PRESENT. They have no freaking clue. By associates I mostly mean MBA's with no startup founding experience. In

I think the crucial reason is only that most people in paypal made tons of cash and they generally hired smart people. Everything else this post mentions is probably reading too much between the lines and is more similar to the over-romanti

I would argue that some tweaks to their original plan would have make it work much better, plus some plain old evangelising. The pricing for one thing was too expensive and should have more slabs (say starting from something like 10$ a mont
