That is correct. Founder has to do with risk. If you are paid from the start, you're probably not a founder.

I'm torn. If it's a Good Thing that a company offers this to it's users, but another company causes Southwest to pull the concept because they make it easier to take advantage of, do we all lose together? So, yes, for a time

This tech is available and extremely well-implemented via Final Card. I use it and have numbers stored for probably 50 sites/services/etc. Anything where I put a card in online. So next time my card gets compromised because I use

I'd like this, would pay for it, and would ideally consume it by email if possible.

Very cool. Watched a bunch. This one is pretty well-done and showcases what you can do with the synced-up timing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njtMuGaSIGg&t=2m26s

Can we please stop saying "I'm confused." like this? The rest of your comment is fine/great.

Hate speech is always a problem. "let's kill all the $value" isn't the type of free speech that most people are trying to preserve.

All of your prep/efforts could be worthwhile, you just haven't found your opportunity yet. The path to wherever you want to go might not be linear.

A better title might be, "Your kids will see internet porn. HOW TO deal with it."

Hover over the image. Interesting way to add context and opinion, above an image that's flat/non-opinionated. Nice!

Been using this card for a few months. Re folks saying it's been done before, it makes me think of the William Gibson quote "The future's already here, it's just not evenly distributed." Even if it has been done bef

I expect you were missing electrolytes, not carbs. That's what the Gatorade helped with.

Hitler was an awful human being. But he was a genius orator. Jesse Owens was a physical genius, though we'd perhaps more easily say that someone performing a more complex skill was a genius, such as Steve Nash etc. In any case, I th

True, but if one allows that genius is also a way to say "able to do something few others can" then Jobs would meet that definition, along with Elon Musk, etc.

Banning working from home was still the wrong move. It showed that they weren't assessing people on performance. If they were, they'd have simply fired those folks who were underperforming (and as you point out, spoken to their

I downvoted you, but I'll explain. I don't think it's right to share what Adam probably expected was a private conversation with the world.

Honest question: Do you think Daesh is open to diplomacy? What course of action do you propose with them?

by ekanes 11y ago
Absolutely. Everyone replies to the first comment, and it takes forever to get down to later/lower conversations.

There's plenty of room for both models. Lifestyle businesses are awesome. 100% great. But we wouldn't have society-level upgrades like Uber, Twitter or Apple without venture capital. They just don't work any other way.

Your points are valid, but don't forget also that "what does the customer want?" is valid too. If people want a click-and-book experience, the site should optimize for that. It seems that they could have done a better job o

The biggest benefit of text is that it's asynchronous. We can converse by email/text/etc without having to sync up when we're both free at the same time.
