No, I don't think so. Not at all.

For Anu, as a serial entrepreneur, there must have been some failures. Ask lots of questions about those and how they might have been avoided. What lessons were learned? How is trial and error used to make better startups in the future? Wh

I thought that too. It's one thing to think about death and another to face it. But I have faced it. 4 times I've almost died: Once I was saved from drowning, I was in two car crashes, and the last time was due to an illness. Everything w

I do watch many of the videos yes. They are well done. He asks good questions and he's not like a typical journalist, because he asks questions he shouldn't . Sometimes he puts the interviewee on the spot and I like how he helps them fe

I'm still using Photoshop 4 that I got in 1996 or so. There are layers, but only one undo. I don't use it enough to justify the upgrade, but I have done a lot of everything in this video from time to time and it is extremely time consuming

Is there a correlation between the availability of good information and informed decisions? We know that fast food is bad for us. Even stepping inside one to buy something means that you're going to get something not good for you. Availabi

I don't think Mixergy is the answer. How many of Andrew's headlines are "How a XX year old made $X,XXX,XXX in XX months." He doesn't help real people solve real problems. He's a hopester.

I applaud 37s. I wish their voice was even louder! They are constantly drowned out by the VC rush that I've seen destroy really great companies with really great products that aren't around anymore because an investor wasn't satisfied wit

Those loyal to truth are often the enemy of all. We all have secrets to hide. Watching a philosopher speak the other day, he said a quote from someone I can't remember, but goes something like this: Those who introspect and attempt to conf

I simply didn't remember your name. Months ago when I looked at your website and commented with you here, I was impressed. I was not impressed with SI when I just read the 2 or 3 sentence description, only because of multiple coincide

I'm not surprised a lot of successful people are rejected by Harvard and Yale. They reject, what?.. Ninety Percent or so of applicants? and those are self-selected achievers who think they might have a shot getting in, so there are a lot o

I remember a conversation here a little while ago with someone from SI. It was many months ago and one of the gentlemen, maybe it was you, maybe your partner -- iirc, both or perhaps it was 2 out of three members of the team at that time p

C'mon pg, this isn't that kind of forum. Posts are on the front page for a day at most, mostly a few hours or even minutes. You see a post, maybe read it, then write a comment. By the time I could get to know these companies, this thread

Seriously, you are assuming you know what is in my head and accusing me of being short-sighted -- talking without knowing what I'm talking about... I mean... You do see the absurdity of that don't you? And for the record, I've built elect

If I was putting my time and money into them and had the same information on them that you do and had interviewed the candidates, it very well may be that I would pick the same companies you did -- who knows. Some of them I can't imagine

Actually, I was looking for a list of other YC companies to find some that do impress me and Bump, specifically, was one I was planning on mentioning.

What's with the ad hominem? I was stating an opinion. You don't know when I came to know Google or Microsoft and you don't know what my opinion of them was. You also don't know how good a judge I am of very early stage startups, which is

These kinds of contests have really turned design into a commodity -- bad news for designers. Designers argue vehemently that they are unethical and implore other designers not to participate in them. I wonder when there will be $10,00

I'm of the opposite opinion. I have the freedom to choose who I work with, who I buy products from, and who I sell my products to. There is a lot of room in the world to do business with people who are considerate, responsible, and of a mi

Interesting take. I see so many "business types" looking for developers to help them build their great idea. But developers aren't interested in building someone else's idea, so it may be the opposite approach which is mo' betta. Business

I'll take the contrarian stance and say I'm not really impressed with the list. There are some that may be good, but there's not much new. Mostly me too products. Perhaps my expectations are too high.

For the record, they also didn't set out to compete with any of the existing search engines, rather their interest was to prove the viability of their linux cluster and an internet of data was a good theater for that.

It's amazing how anti-content this group is. The man doesn't want more money and people are attacking him. Isn't that odd? I admire him.

I'll never do business with someone who doesn't know when enough is enough. This post is saying to do business with greedy people. Kind of sad really, but I'm glad I'm the kind of person the author doesn't want to do business with. I look

It's also why we are creating a spaceship earth that is uninhabitable by humans, but plenty fine for single-celled organisms. The future of humanity is left as an exercise for the reader.

There was the censoring of the autocomplete in the islam is thing too. When you're madly in love with Google, or anything for that matter, you gotta pick and choose which things to remember and which motivations to imagine, but I don't like

Isn't this how business is done in most countries? The countries have laws and if the businesses want to enter the market, they have to follow the laws of the country? It seems like this debate is mostly irrational and hypocritical support

If someone was found showing child porn on the net, arrested, and put in prison -- which does happen, even if those children are anime characters -- is that not censorship? What is the difference between putting someone in jail for produci
