Very true, please count me as one of your satisfied customers. In a different comment, I did say Spreedly would be a great fit for those who just want a straight forward recurring billing solution, without deep API integration and other fea

Just a note that Recurly did this exact same thing several months ago, though they've since changed their prices again. We were literally 1 day away from launching on Recurly when they changed prices. Spooked by the sudden price hike, we sp

It's not so much as the money that's upsetting, as much as the broken trust when prices are adjusted upwards so dramatically. For example, our monthly prices will go from 0 to $99/month. You can say that may be a good thing, forcing us to f

Last time I looked, Spreedly's API and functionality wasn't even in the same ballpark as Chargify's. I've worked on integration projects with both, and Chargify is much better and more configurable. Spreedly may have improved, it's been a w

You're making some very strong comments against KIPP, which I think (after watching a documentary on it) puts you directly at odds with the KIPP administrators who have years of data and research to back up their work. You say they're missi

I think you left out the most important thing - a BHAG focuses money. It's a giant bet. SCO's BHAG is the lawsuit, Netscape's BHAG was the browser, Pets.com's BHAG was serving every pet - all bets that didn't pay off.

Why would you say most businesses wouldn't? I'd think most business would do something to help a loyal customer stay loyal. I agree with you that it's absolutely good business practice to help customers recover from their own mistakes. On m

I doubt anyone would want to say publicly that they've had a bad experience with YC, constructive to the rest of us as it may be. It's just not worth burning that bridge. It's probably a good general rule of thumb to never say anything publ

This is my experience as well with Active Interview. We've been around for about a year, and I even personally pitched our working product with paying customers to PG at SXSW in March. He shot it down immediately. But yet, Hirehive gets fro

I think his point in that example was that articles that seek to glorify something that supports human trafficking, sex slavery, and forced rape - all of which millions are currently victims - should be based on more than conjecture and ass

I don't think anything is stopping you from using IM/irc/chat. The problem that video screenings solve isn't one that you face. For example, Thunderbird School of Global Management, a top international MBA program, is planning on using Acti

This is almost a thing you have to see to believe. Video just gives you so much more resolution and insight. Social science studies have told us many times that 90% of communication is non-verbal - audio only captures that 10%. Of course,

The skeptical comments are interesting. But it doesn't seem like they are the primary market. At Active Interview, we've been doing video interviews for a while now. We've gotten good traction among organizations who have continuous hiring

The congested cars in China aren't neatly stacked in their lanes.

by cglee 16y ago
I thought the exact thing. Traffic in China reminds me of a school of fish - cars wiggle and dash in front of one another with total disregard for lanes.

I just emailed the pdf to my Kindle DX. The images are perfect, but the text is very small in portrait mode. As far as I can tell, I can't zoom or enlarge the text. The text becomes much more readable in landscape mode, but the reading colu

The Chinese government is extremely sensitive to two things: 1) saving face and 2) maintaining control What I'm saying is - you can affect change without violating those two things.

First, I don't think there's a pent up demand to overthrow the Chinese government. There are disgruntled factions here and there (China is a very economically uneven country, unlike the US), but overall, people feel their lives are improvin

Ok, what if Baidu started openly campaigning against the predominantly two-party system in the US? Is that going to change a thing? There's actually a way to affect change in China, believe it or not. Unfortunately, it's not by the usual me

We created Active Interview (activeinterview.com) and have helped screen candidates from around the world by organizations such as One Laptop Per Child, among others.

I actually find that pretty interesting because it allows me to learn about different types of businesses I otherwise wouldn't be exposed to. I guess the key is to work in a field you're interested in.

This is why I always prefer to look them in the eye and ask for a face to face meeting. If that's not possible, then I'll do a Skype video conference. That's not going to weed out all the crazies, but at least it'll give you a better feelin

I should add that they were never so helpful when I inquired from my premium domain in the past. I only received a lot of attention when it was time to renew. For example, I couldn't figure out how to cancel the premium account, and I sent

I paid for the Premium Google Apps for one of my domains. When it was about to expire, I got emails almost daily reminding me to renew. The day before it was to expire, someone from Google Apps actually called my cell about renewing. For a
