There is a perception that acquihires are pushed through with pulled favors from venture capitalists looking to get out easy, rather than successful exits earned in the traditional manner. I, myself, wonder if these types of exits are possi

It's not necessarily a recipe for that, but you've gotten us well started down that path with your neg-meta for sure. Atheists among the population experience a similar level discrimination out in the wild that women do in computer science

"... than stealing it for personal use ..." As long as both instances are stealing, I have no problem. Relative badness is another debate, but I doubt we'd disagree much on that.

It is funny how if it's copying a developers HTML5 game, it's stealing, but if it's a movie or song, well... that's just copying, because the creator still has a copy -- that's not stealing. The level of hypocrisy around here is incredibl

One of the biggest differences between cofounder and employee is the direction of money flow. If you're putting money in and working, you're a cofounder. If you're taking money out as a salary you're an employee. It sounds to me like you we

INteresting when you put it that way. There are 75 in this batch and this is only 10 of them. Being in ycombinator in earlier years almost guaranteed you'd be covered in the big blogs and well... heard of. There are some of the 65 remaini

This is a good crop and I can see a lot of success coming from all of these companies. There's a market out there and it's waiting to be tackled. Several of them are known solutions applied to another niche. There is more of a real world fe

You're being a presumptive jerk. Several people throughout this thread have told you so and you keep digging yourself deeper. The writing is on the wall.

Things happening that have never happened before occur so frequently they invented a word for it: Precedent. And yes, the whole fiasco is silly. Do you actually think this is about Sweden wanting to extradite him for accusations of rape? Se

Do the words you put in quotes actually sound like what I said to you? Bit of a straw man. But even if you want to argue to that extreme, then well, yeah if you consider the USA sent its military into Pakistan without them even knowing. The

My question is: If Sweden wants Assange, why is Britain the one saying they'll invade the embassy? Shouldn't it be Sweden who is invading the Ecuadoran Embassy instead of Britain? I really don't see Britain bending over backwards to break t

I think a lot of people, especially around here, eschew college education in the computer sciences, because you can get a job without it and you can build a website without it, but I really think the decline of formal education in compu

It's a neat idea. It'll be a lot of work to get right. In the meantime, I can send a psd, png, whatever to cssilize and have it chopped up by a human into great looking html and images and I don't have to piece-meal the psd myself to confor
