HTTPS only matters for the page you are submitting the log-in information to, not the page you enter it on. Of course, it's difficult to tell if the page you are submitting it to is secure or not without looking at the code.

there's a huge difference between public company stock and private company stock. public company stock isn't necessarily bad: you can decide to do what you want with it, since it's fairly liquid. if you hold on to it and the price drops, th

Maybe it's just that pg's comments are more relevant to this community? If a nickname didn't lend credibility to a comment, we could all post anonymously. Also, users of this community likely want to read pg's comments, and upvoting is the

keeping scaling in mind helps a lot, but the real problems you'll run into then are the ones you're not aware of... like a 32,000 directory limit on linux. as your application grows, you just get blindsided at random, and need to put out fi

I agree with this and I don't know why it's getting modded down. I can understand the CEO taking a huge pay cut, but how is one supposed to live off of $1/year without any other source of income?

i'd highly recommend having "the talk" sooner rather than later. everybody agrees on sharing when the stakes are small, but when things become successful, you'd be surprised how fast people can change their perspectives. if you are the main

As much as people seem to think otherwise, we're not giving a free $700B to the financial industry. We're loaning money that needs to be re-payed. Why do we need to loan money? Because credit has shored up and many a company's credit rating

From my experience in new york, you can get into almost any "hot" or sought after club with the same tactics -- ones that have 200 people lines at midnight. Bypassing a 200 person line is pretty exhilarating. He seems to wrap it up well in

I had lasik 6 months ago from Dr. Goodman in SF, and am extremely happy with the results. It was definitely on the pricier side ($6.5k), but well worth it. Takes a good 4-5 months to heal completely. For the first month I had halos at night

I certainly don't know what happened in this situation, but there are also quite a few scenarios where the company may be justified. Would it be fair to companies if any employee could create anything they wanted to, on company time, and sc

Most of the information it requests is pretty generic. If you've raised a round and haven't announced it yet, then by all means, don't give it out. However, for many startups, funding details will be public (and available via crunchbase or

First thing: get over it. Companies "sniff around" like this all the time. You're likely far away from an actual acquisition. It's to the point now where we almost don't talk with anybody without them asking for financial details of our com

i suppose it depends on how you define "quickly resolved". if by "quickly resolved" you mean resolved in a few hours, and that's acceptable to you, then that works. sometimes things being "quickly resolved" in a few hours are unacceptable.
