If you gain traction, you should gain SEO. If you aren't an SEO expert, it may be tough to gain a foothold in tough keywords. However, if you are an SEO expert, I'd assume SEO would be quite a good strategy for you.

What does this mean? If you found your own company at 20, then 20 years later are you are 40 year old founder? If you are a serial entrepreneur, some companies will be started when you are young and others will be started when you are old.

I bet he isn't the only. If he got $20m, somebody else probably conned the government out of a lot more. How much money is wasted on this sort of bullshit?

You want to diversify. So, if you have a significant portion of your money invested in a startup, I think you would want to be a lot more conservative with the rest of your money. You can real safe with bonds or cds. I also look for old, bo

How do you know who the people are? Presumably, the app would create blogs, facebook pages, linkedin, twitter, etc. Passing a phone interview would be harder, though not impossible. You might need really good voice recognition. Speech gener

I propose the ycombinator turing test. Can you generate an application which will get accepted by ycombinator? This may require generating additional content to establish team credibility including twitter posts, blog posts, etc.

Some would disagree "The US remained the world’s biggest manufacturing nation by output last year, but is poised to relinquish this slot in 2011 to China – thus ending a 110-year run as the number one country in factory production." http:/

So, is Google officially supportive of the revolution? What about twitter? Are Google and Twitter more supportive of the anti-Mubarak campaign than the US government? What are the political implications of this?

There is x\in R such that 2=x^x^x^x^x^... Furthermore, I believe it should be possible to prove there is no field S such that R\in S, whereby 2=x^x^x^x^x^.... Complex numbers don't help.

Monopoly search is bad because it is easier to game. People have gotten so good at manipulating Google rankings, that there is room for competition. Merely being small has some inherent advantages. Being bigger and more popular can be inher

The first line assume 2=x^x^x^x^... which is impossible. We assume the author is asking: for what x \in R does 2=x^x^x^x^x^... Cognitive bias confuses us.

I think Credit Suisse is just spreading FUD, so they get people to trade on their own market, instead of some upstart HFT firm. Every new rule and game is just another money making opportunity for a opportunistic firm.

Some books are bad. However, some of the best books shouldn't be easy to read. I think there is a lot of value in struggling through hard books. At times I think the internet has made things too easy. Look at any great math book. Large leap

I think a government OAuth sounds like a good idea. Verifying your identity based on SSN is pretty insecure. If the commerce department can come up with a secure standard, it can seriously cut down on fraud. Internet anonymity is good for s
