I refuse to accept that I suck Paul. Seriously. You're 1-5 people trying to judge on what you think is going to work. I personally think reddit gave you a bit of an ego trip. I think your vision of the future is clouded by visions of the pa

It looks like it's "operator billing" and Bango seems to charge a $500/mo fee for it. Thanks for the tip though, I'll keep searching.

Sebastian, you seem like a nice enough guy, but have you ever considered turning this microscope on yourself? There's a really high chance that if I see a huge nuanced argument on HN it's coming from you. Why not put that time and energy

If you're going to stick around you should consider joining citycarshare.org or zipcar.com - I haven't yet because I want to do City CarShare but I'm not in SF (yet).

I'm torn on this issue. If you watch the TED video referenced in the blog post, the YT representative speaks about the JK wedding video [1] as a vehicle for getting the Chris Brown song back onto the charts. She also points out that The Of

Craigslist donated all the revenue from erotic services to charity and used the fees for adult services to pay for lawyers to screen each and every posting. It was on NPR in the bay area shortly before the adult services section was shut d

Isn't a decent chunk of what goes viral on YouTube amateur? I hate the idea that I could write an app which could make me (and Apple) a chunk of money, if only they'd accept it in the first place. At least Android is getting to equal foot

eBay never invested in craigslist, they bought shares from an executive who left the company.

EBay acquired its stake from a former Craigslist executive who was seeking to sell his shares. Mr. Newmark and the Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster said in separate messages posted on the Web that they never imagined a stake in Craigslist end

From the actual paper: http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/ We will raise this conjecture (the purport of which will hereafter be called the "Principle of Relativity") to the status of a postulate, and also introduce anot

I'm pretty sure that Einstein intuitively "guessed" that the speed of light would be the fastest possible speed and used that fact to work out the rest of the equations. E = mc^2 was the bizarre discovery that those equations yielded, and

I had a similarly frustrating experience with Feedburner in early 2008. I was running something slightly controversial and they basically reverted to an older version of my RSS and wouldn't let me do anything to change it, including redire

Last time I checked people were still paying money for Wolfram's A New Kind of Science . Maybe some of these "quacks" should get funded.

The TC article doesn't mention the In-App Purchase features you offer. It sounds like you offer free-for-the-user updates to applications as well as providing infrastructure for traditional in-app purchases managed through Apple's billing.

Google is actually in a unique situation where everyday users could continue to take advantage of free services and cost Google bandwidth/electricity while completely ignoring ads.

Back when I was a kid in High School, I was proud of the fact that I could enter enough words into a search string to find what I was looking for on AltaVista. I was guessing what words might appear in the article / paper / search result I

Simulated and real world are two different ball games. In the real world tests with sh- er um crappy AT&T signal strength, they were testing in privacy cases. Ideal tests in the anechoic chambers or iVans were just that - ideal.

I suspect Apple never caught this call dropping issue due to the fact that everyone who had one of these new 4G iPhones was required to keep it in a case when they were field testing them. Wasn't the phone that Gizmodo got their hands on i

I founded a startup that was featured by the WSJ all by myself and have gone on to work on a new project which has some traction. I applied to YC with another idea and didn't "make the cut." I personally take that to be a greater challenge

All Hollywood needs are some new writer-directors breaking into the scene. Imagine this decade producing new well known names like Tarantino, the Coen brothers, and the Wachowski brothers. They all got to be well known by doing something

I'm in Mountain View and will probably move to SF in October when my lease is up. I dabble in web and iPhone design, program in C/C++/objective on a limited basis, and have some experience in marketing. I'm much stronger in video work and

I like the idea that I can post a comment with insight that doesn't need to be a pun or meme. I've also become frustrated with the moderation that happens on reddit.

I'm making an attempt at trying to establish myself online to catch the attention of VCs and angels now that I've moved to the bay area, but the result has been a constant urge to monitor everything. Buried within PG's essay is a hint that
