This is some sort of PR stunt marketing ploy? Either way I'm not really impressed (I'd guess most consumers aren't impressed) by pointless personal bickering. Marketing based on negative sentiment is not effective.

The great part about this type of cofounder is that they exhibit early proof everywhere they go. They keep impeccably awesome apartments. They have blogs that are exquisitely well-designed. They're own personal branding is clean, articul

If you're sending 100 emails and only getting 1 reply, something is horribly wrong with either your targeting or your messaging.

Just an idea: are your adwords passing through your Amazon affiliate link? Could funnel some of the profits back if that's possible.

As a benevolent billionaire, I would relocate to a poor impoverished 3rd world country that ideally has resources and opportunity to grow and improve rapidly in terms of economic well-being (people love jobs!). After building infrastructure

Wikipedia has an entry on the word. "These companies, generally newly created, are in a phase of development and research for markets." I think that best describes it. Opening a small retail business is not really a startup because there is

I can sympathize and understand with what he's writing. I know it seems douchey and shallow to a lot of you, but when you work remote with a team of friends, things tend to get far too casual and eventually everything falls apart altogether

Are you sure your demo isn't too complicated or can't be cut down? Two guys working for half a year can surely execute some MVP.

At a higher level, the same advice can be applied to any chicken and end problem. Job seekers and employers, renters and landlords, buyers and sellers etc. Same problems offer same solutions.

I have no idea what I'm talking about, but if you get lost, you can frame your argument in an analogy and build your way up from there. As long as your argument is rational, you can find parallel examples in almost any topic (especially top

Well, almost exactly. The Japanese invented a method of sexing chicks known as vent sexing, by which experts could rapidly ascertain the sex of one-day-old hatchlings. Beginning in the 1930s, poultry breeders from around the world traveled

Do you have any empirical evidence to support this? In the H-1B wikipedia article: "Employers must attest that wages offered are at least equal to the actual wage paid by the employer to other workers with similar experience and qualificati

Beautiful design and functionality. As for the actual debating though, there leaves much to be desired. When people argue, they simply do not put their statement out there to take its stand. They interact with the opposing arguments, and pi

I think we found a programmer to write some Windows mouse hooks for our java app. Paid him $100 for probably an hour or more of his time, so I guess you can find good developers. If you're cheap, you'll get cheap programmers, that's about a

On a side note, Dippin Dots is cool about the first time you try it. After that its kinda "meh". I bought some last month (probably years since I last had it) and I was asking myself "why the hell did I get this again?".

Well, its bit harder at these stages since you lack the basics. I would personally invest a bit of time into learning HTML/CSS, and playing around in Photoshop. If you choose to buy a design, you have MonsterTemplates or ThemeForest, but yo

Depends on the idea and what it requires. If its easy enough to hack, then just build it and launch it with its core features. If you need more validation, then time to do some market research, build a landing page, drive some traffic to it

Hi, your copy is really confusing. I didn't understand what your business did until I read the comment here on HN. My suggestions: Your H1 copy should be something that tells me exactly what you do and how it benefits me. Ex: "Save $$$ on l

Industry expertise is certainly an advantage and attractive to investors, but by no means is a prerequisite for success. There are lots of other very important and influential factors in a startup's success other than your industry backgrou
