history tells me that big companies like Google and Toyota are unlikely to still be around making a huge impact. A newer, younger company is more reasonable

Because the average person is short sited. They don't do anything (or don't realize how terrible it is) until it directly affects them.

Those companies were making a lot of revenue in a huge market before they expanded. It's comparing apples to oranges.

That could be their goal, but it's a lot easier said than done, especially in markets that haven't been executed before. For example, Rdio tried to do Vdio with video and look how that turned out. Off the top of my head, I can&#x2

Ok cool. So RG is way better than songmeanings. That doesn't change the size of the market. That is, unless you think the quality or features are so good that it will increase the size of the market. In that sense, I don't think R

If RG thinks they're so great (and all the bandwagoners on HN), then they should prove it by playing fairly. My suspicion is that the vast majority of people who search for lyrics don't care about song meanings or annotations. Azl

Then people should stop claiming that RG is the best "lyrics" site. Lyrics are simply lyrics and RG does no better than AZlyrics in that regard. They can claim they're the best annotations or song meanings site instead.

People build sites that are very good all the time, often 'the best site for X by a mile', but they don't make it to the top because of poor SEO or marketing. Just because they are a good product doesn't mean they get to

For the wrong reason? What's with all these smartie pants on hackernews? A big hackathon always has some sort of incentive, and aiming for that is wrong? I don't know about you, but I enjoy winning, and I've won hackathons be

This is why I don't attend hackathons anymore. At the bigger events, there's always bound to be controversy, cheaters, questionable criteria, etc.

someone misused mongodb, and now they're blaming mongodb for it. A social network will have a lot of relations -- so you should use a relational database. Other web apps may not need as many relations (most mobile apps), in which mongo

"hacking" this, "hacking" that. the word is being way overused. just because you came up with a solution you think is good for you doesn't mean you 'hacked' anything.

I find it interesting that they are actively pursuing it. Kind of like watching a lion, king of the jungle, fighting and clawing furiously against a roaring avalanche to reach the top of a mountain enjoy the show

they already sucked the money out of it (what little there was). And hoping making this change will get users back. Too late, Blizzard.

I give up on hackathons. The last one I went to -- the winners presented a power point slide and won. They didn't even make anything. They were just there for marketing their startup, and even brought like 10 team members on stage. And
