As I see it, both your renewal rate and the number of free users are high enough to launch a promotion (e.g.: $10 instead of $20 for the first 12months).

Well that's exactly the point I was trying to make: HN (and reddit and many others) look extremely US centric but I'd love to see access log, for I think Europeans may not be so few after all, just extremely more silent.

Yes, in fact western europe tops the list with ~90 points and the day just started over here. I have the feeling that the american internet userbase seems so much overrepresented on the interwebs just because it's very loud. EDIT: ops, I mi

*Facebook ads are different than Google ads (or other web site ads) because you go to Facebook to interact with friends while you go to the rest of the web to find information. This is a false argument. If I interact with friends I talk abo

The problem is that the clueless people are literally leading the country and that makes everything difficult. When I say that I wish a nuke I am obviously exhagerating, but I am not when I say that I wish a civil revolution. The job market

It seems funding a startup in their case meant attending a conference and have a bunch of meetings with angel investors. You can certainly do that on turistic visa. After which, you can spend $2K on a lawyer and get around with a H visa I s

It's pretty straight forward for any european to go to the US with a turistic entry and you are allowed to look for jobs or anything else with that (you are not allowed to work, though).

Well, you may be getting good programmers but you don't know if you are getting the best candidates of course. Spolsky's argument makes a lot of sense. [edit: PG edited after I posted this]
