So my CPU spikes to 100% every time I visit the Google homepage? No thanks. That script would get blocked pretty quick.

I can't find it now, but there was a story on HN recently lamenting the fact that this AWS competition is funded by VC's and the author claimed that really promising bootstrapped companies didn't get a fair shot given that there was little

Investors should steer clear of this, leave this for the speculators who have money to throw away. You're investing in an instrument that is leveraged against a company who's financial details are not public knowledge. This is a very danger

Except, this isn't a once in a lifetime occurrence. As of today it's twice in a lifetime. That's indicates to me they didn't just hit that perfect chain of events, it tells me they have problems in their architecture or implementation that

That story is crazy. How did you react to it? What did you do to him?

Then perhaps you're creating (or training for) the wrong jobs. There are many vocations out there that provide benefits and have rather large earning potentials.

Does this make anyone else feel extremely underpaid? I'm a software engineer at Fortune 200 company in a major metropolitan city, making about 30K less than these guys. It's not a technology company, so that must be the difference.

The 'People You May Know' feature seems to work really well, try that.

That's an excellent point. I'm guessing that when you invest that amount of money in a company you get inside information that the rest of us are not privy to.

Has anyone out there found an actual use case for LinkedIn yet? I joined a year ago and have yet to use it for anything other than accumulating more and more professional connections. It's a well designed site, lots of connections to be mad

Here's what I'm thinking. I'm already working on a startup, so I'll give this one away for free. Build the web app portion that allows reservations to be made from the customers perspective, just like they have now. Integrate it with Twilio

I've been following this company for awhile from a financial perspective, which is how I know. The most prominent hedge fund to short has been Whitney Tilson's T2 Partners', but they're just one among many -- 35% of the floated stock is sho

That's not a huge barrier though. The restaurant didn't have some outlay of capital for that hardware that is going to motivate their decision to switch. When they cancel their OpenTable contract, they'll just send the hardware back. This s

This is an interesting opportunity to profit from. This company has massive expectations baked into it's stock price (NASDAQ: OPEN), trading at over a hundred times earnings. It's being massively shorted by the hedge funds. Combine the fact
