I smiled when I saw this question. It's a question that heavily favors people starting a company in a field they work in and whose problems they're already intimately familiar with. While this might seem unfair to some, it's

I would like to think that its overwhelmingly due to #2. It's a really articulate, I-know-what-the-fuck-I'm-talking-about explanation of a huge problem and market. Rest is icing IMO

"No online demo yet. It might be awhile before we have a dashboard and mocking up a fake API for you doesn’t seem worth it." Honestly my favorite part of the application. It gives the implication that "you're smart enoug

Posted this in the comments section there, but I would love to hear your feedback as well. I think the primary issue is constrained supply. As klochner said, barely any new housing is added and SF has a fixed land mass. But this problem is

Based on the last line of his post, it looks like he was working on his own startup anyway. While the timing is suspicious, I think he might have felt that a clean break was the best solution to a situation where no one wins.

So this has actually been a pretty common 4chan prank for a while now. People give you instructions for Googling webcam IP addresses (very typically just an IP string or something similar) and then try to find something worth sharing. Just

Ironically I think Silicon Valley will appreciate this show so much more than Bravo's attempt to glamorize it.

I'm not a backer, but I've heard people on Twitter make fun of the Pebble for being a bit bulky, a bit dorky, or even "a useless novelty product that will burn out faster than the Slap Chop". But these people are short-sighted, and should b

At Betable, four of us do CrossFit. It's not sadistic as the title says, though I'm sure that can depend on the gym. The one in SOMA is pretty supportive and accommodating, probably because they deal with a lot of startup engineers :) Anywa

Yeah, sadly this lawsuit is just "cost of doing business" for Best Buy. They earned $140m in the first year, they only had a % chance of paying out for a lawsuit, and the lawsuit was worth less than 20% of the $140m earned. They just profit

Fantastic post, and one that I think a lot of developer founders can sympathize with. If you're in the specific circumstance of being the developer founder turned CEO, I think this is one of the toughest aspects of that role. I appreciated

Looks like Kera.io, great project. I'd love to hear how you guys differ btw :)

Love what you guys are doing. I admit that I'm curious about how you plan to build a revenue model that can supplement that kind of outflow, but I'm sure you guys are thinking about it. Thanks for the Betable shoutout as well :)

I've seen people on the hiring side bring this up as a huge faux pas that a candidate made. It's typically seen by those doing the hiring as an arrogant move. The reaction to it is "who does this guy think he is?" On the flip side, a friend

Another day, another "Growth hacker" post that misses the point. Hacker News, give marketers some credit here. The majority of good startup marketers are already analytically minded. They already run tests every week, though they may not ru

I agree with this, and I feel like this is the crux of the piece. Work first, worry about process only when it gets in the way of work.

This makes Mark Cuban's article on High Frequency Trading (HFT) even more relevant than it was before (link: http://blogmaverick.com/2012/09/21/what-business-is-wall-str... ). WHY is it not regulated or at the very least taxed, when it cre

Seems like they were going to split directions at one point or another. Sad to see this happen as I love Quora but unfortunately, investors are in the business of making money, not building amazing user-friendly webapps. Is Quora a great se
