Let's dig a bit deeper and ask why is imgur doing these things? The fact is image uploading is one of the most commoditized services you can offer. Long term, the most you could possibly get out of that is razor-thin margins, assumin

It'd be really nice if you offered more detailed stats, especially a CSV of all loans with all relevant info. (Maybe you do have this and I just didn't see it on the site). I'm sure there's a lot of data scientists who c

I am invested in microfinance and want to invest more, but there's a constant news stream of problems with the providers and I'd really like to know who I should invest with. This article references a few complaints about Kiva&#x2

The author agrees - he is asking what should you do "when you're ready to be useful to others again"? It doesn't strike me as narcissistic.

Reasonable people like you often seek to appeal to reason when confronting problems created by unreasonable people like your boss, but unreasonable people can't be reasoned with. Your boss has motives other than getting reasonable work

That's funny, but seems pretty passive aggressive and probably wouldn't end well for anyone.

This article greatly exaggerates. A quick search shows HP offers only 2 Windows-7 laptops, but offers 35 Windows-8x laptops. Similar numbers go for desktops as well. http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-&#

The author is missing the bigger picture. 1) Generating electricity through coal and sending it over the power lines is WAY more efficient than transporting liquid gasoline to your local pump and burning it in your highly inefficient V6 eng

It seemed suspicious that in his video interview he said "there's a CIA station right up the street," thus alluding to his location relative to the US embassy. That seems like a way too carelessly revealing statement for an N

This is a reflection of humanity as a whole. No matter what you make, no matter how great it is, everyone will try to tear it down and maintain the status quo. It's human nature. The trick is to parse through the criticsm to find what is le

Though not unheard of, I found this the least founder-friendly part too. It'd be more founder-friendly to do 50% vesting over 4 years. This is especially true if the founder has already put in 1-2 years work, which would be a good and commo

How about using shorter-term data to build a lie detector, an attraction meter, a deeper A/B tester that shows how someone physiologically reacts to a logo/web page/ad.

No one could argue that sending 10 personalized emails with a high conversion rate is bad, but consider that, depending on the pricing model and aspirations, a business may not be viable unless you can find a way to get customers from mass

Mental issues for sure. There are a few places for the homeless to get food in that area, so it'd be unlikely for a non-mentally-ill person to starve.

The same is true for Los Angeles. I've been in an office building while people were discussing six-figure sums like they were nothing, when outside in the alley below there were literally homeless people in a knife fight over a candy bar.
