My guess, from the houses I went into, is their construction. I have to emphasize these are not houses like any first-world person would think of, as soon as you leave the big city there is very little that is modern about China - they're

I am sure cars contribute, but I believe the majority comes from factories outside of the city and from homes, which primarily burn coal to keep warm. Beijing is downwind from a lot of that.

I was in Beijing for Chinese New Year for a couple weeks in 2009, and when I flew in, I couldn't see the enormous city at all from the sky. It was completely hidden in a cloud of smog. There was some of the worst air quality of the year at

I would not do that. I know you've all seen that I will do a lot of things for growth, but I won't be dishonest.

No worries, I think we have a UX problem where it isn't clear what is original content and what are resources we are linking off to. I'll work on that

Actually, we use Skimlinks. Think of it like Pinterest with a transparent business model.

Just to clarify, the link goes to an original article written by me - not copy/pasted quotes from the resources listed. I have curated the links, added commentary and opinion and presented them as a blog post. The only difference is that

This is a really annoying scam, and sadly I have had several companies coming to me asking if we'd ever done their event at Twilio (we never did) and if it was a good idea. Stuff like this can be a huge time suck for founders, and if they

Yes, actually I have been a CloudFlare user for awhile but had paused it on my blog while dealing with a vulnerability. By the time traffic spiked and I turned it back on there was no way to reach the site to cache a copy. I also use the

A CEO's job is not to avoid conflict. In fact, I think it is probably quite the opposite. The startups that avoid conflict are usually full of yes men and they usually end up dead, from my experience. Writing this post was probably 10x m

Thank you. I'll drop you a note, I think it is time. I've been on the same Dreamhost box for 8 years!

I'm really sorry about the site, it went down so hard that I can't even get a cached version for Cloudflare to serve. Time to upgrade some things... personal blog is so neglected. Update: Google cached version: http://webcache.googleuserc

Maybe you didn't read the actual post, but it consists of original content - I created my own hand selected list of Seattle companies to watch. I included links to other articles as sources but they don't contain the same content. Affilia

I think I understand the problem. I'm curious, do you think it would have helped if I had some subheaders similar to how blog posts get broken up, and some blocks of editorial text? Also, maybe the link titles being so large is confusing?

HN is one of several traffic sources we are using to build an audience for Referly. The company is evolving really quickly to be much more than a tool for small-time affiliates. It's becoming a blogging platform/magazine/paid content site

Definitely sounds like I've managed to confuse you. If you scroll - I listed a bunch of Seattle startups I think will weather the storm. The first item on the list is a link to the pando daily article but there is a lot more below the fold

I agree, it is easy to spend way too much time on a post - as a rule I spend no more than 3 hours on a post, and I kind of embrace mediocrity. At some point (often way before hitting the full 3 hours), the value of publishing and starting

This was the problem I had with the article as well. It fails to point out, in conclusion, that these people are committed for life because they are extremely dangerous - and not just in theory, but because they have taken actions to achie

I think that is generally referred to as self-consciousness, and it can be very extreme (to the point of paranoia and anxiety attacks) or more tame, as in the stereotype of the average teenager.

Like so many startup ideas, this could probably be a great idea for somebody who can actually execute it. I feel like a jerk saying this, but this seems like a recurring theme lately - people saying "the market was too small" when the real

You can tell which links are affiliate because they are orange and say "buy". Non-affiliate links are grey and say "view".

I have to believe they'll figure out a way to do this that makes people comfortable, although obviously it it creeps you out a ton then you probably won't be an early adopter of it. I think it is so funny how people say "creepy" when in re
