Hope the party got better later--in this pic everyone seems awkwardly uncomfortable and sitting on their hands. Waiting for somebody to kick it off. Drinks. The table needs to have some bottle service happening.

LevelUp has commented in the past how store employees were driving sales (and everyone gets/got $5 credit to try.) So it seems LU has been burning $5 of VC money to inflate revenues, but guests didn't repeat. I guess the lesson is: no matte

> Online dating sucks, thanks Hollywood Also, I can't figure out why the alleged Hollywood lie would only impact online dating. Wouldn't all forms of dating affected? Certainly the "fate" aspect of true love isn't exactly new--Rom coms

Yup. I just read the Atlantic article a few days ago. This piece gave me the feeling the priceonomics author did too. I'm not much of a fan of simply rewriting content for one's blog.

"hacker" in the domain? Yikes - must be a dangerous site.

Publicly disclosed prior art still matters. But now, first to file ALSO matters in litigation. (making hidden notebooks that show the other party invented it two years before you did less interesting)

I don't understand why you would consider using Braintree in Europe (or anywhere) vs. going to Adyen directly. The Adyen guys are smart, their technical platform is simple and robust, and unlike the Stripe/Square/Braintree guys, Adyen actua

Those who profit from patents will always support them. The best way to undermine patentability is to publicly disclose the invention in advance, thereby creating prior art that no one can patent. To me, the simplest solution would be "Cant

Disagree. MS was the incumbent 800 lb gorilla, and was proposing locking up identity and payment for the great new space of internet--blocking all new comers. Whereas Apple's actions were framed as underdog & come-from-behind. Today, M

Rather than assuming that it's not you could concede that since it has moved in the past, and it may move again. But pragmatically, what to do about it? I don't think answers such as "don't buy" proprietary or closed source has any effect

Naturally, I'm a fan of online commerce, but Kahneman told us the underlying reason all ecommerce is just a tiny fraction of retail: WYSIATI. Today, physical shops are so much better at showing me things that weren't on my list, but now I r

I'm probably a lone voice here, but why the obsession with speed? Speed of execution is only one (tiny?) component of innovation. I understand the need to ship, and fast iterations can be useful, but whenever I see these 24 and 48 hour Laun

Bogus. This is called water injection and has been around since the 70's. The theory sounds great - put some water vapor in the intake, and it will expand as steam, increasing power, lowering consumption, and even lowering temperature. The

Um, because maintaining a gas/diesel/lpg vehicle (or a laptop) doesn't include keeping it continuously fueled up at the risk of $30K damage. You don't keep your laptop or phone charged on penalty of battery replacement, so why pretend that

My atty says the race condition isn't real: Who cares if the other party has their patent erroneously issued? That patent should not be capable of use as prior art against your patent if you actually filed first. And, their patent would b
