I think people forget, or maybe don't realize, open floor plans were popularized in the startup world because of their cost savings. It's very hard/expensive to rent office space with enough rooms for everyone, or build one o

Could theoretically be the older model (Cinema Display) which is Display Port. Then it would be HDMI > DP and should work ;).

You're not wrong, that would be the next best play Amazon could do.

I disagree on the former, they absolutely need to hurry. But you're right, definitely an attractive acquisition target. I would say it would be a great fit for Microsoft.

Discord is going to be very hard to touch, even for Amazon. They should buy them as soon as possible. I know they bought Curse to try and break in, but it's just not going to be enough. Discord already has insane market-share in the co

Startups are hard. I don't know Ryan personally, but he really started PH as barebones as possible and grew it to millions of uniques. Without being on the inside, you have no idea the pressure or stresses he was under. Why are people

Somewhat painful? Try the most miserable four days of my life (not sure where several weeks came from but mine only took four days). I had LASIK in one eye and PRK in the other (not as any sort of test, there were medical reasons, I would h

You sound like an awesome developer. Would love to keep you in mind for projects down the road. Would you ping me at the email in my profile so I can have your information? Thanks.

A significant amount of revenue is being made through YouTube as a platform in a grey area that Google doesn't really currently touch (integrated content through creators). Creators and MCN's benefit the most from this. By startin

Adding a thought here. It's easy to find a reason not to apply. But 100% of the companies accepted into YC applied. Don't let any stat deter you, you have to start somewhere.

Huge props to Geohot for getting this to market (barring it ships). Curious - if it replaces the rear-view mirror, then what do you use as a rear-view mirror?

Discord will likely grow to the value of Twitch was at (when it was acquired by Amazon) in the next couple years, it's a really big space.

First of all, congrats on the venture and I wish you the best of luck. For the streaming portion - you can use YouTube but you can't hide the video (it violates their terms), so be careful.

Great to see competition in this space that isn't a PEO. There's still a lot of room for disruption here.

Startups that scale that quickly are bound to make mistakes. Breaking the law is not okay, and there was some bad judgement there. But you'll find a lot of negative comments about the competition, too. Nobody is perfect. But Zenefits i

This is great. I've added it to my startup onboarding guide blog post (which already has Clerky as an immensely helpful service): https://goeric.quora.com/Startup-Onboarding-Guide

This must be a really rough thing to go through, but I am sure Parker is doing what is best for the company at this time (whether it was forced on him or voluntary). Zenefits is the greatest thing to happen to SMB's in years, and I am

I think it's great that DO is offering this, but it's a little shocking they don't offer this to fellow Techstars alum. We only get $10K in credits, which is a stark contrast. We are loyal to Digital Ocean because it's a

Great post from somebody I respect tremendously. One thing I feel like he didn't touch on, which I feel like is most important, is that there's no public comments on Snapchat. People post without much need for validation and witho

Despite all the bugs and the short-falls of the Mac app update, it had the best snooze feature that I've come to live by in my email workflow. It looks like Polymail is an evolved Mailbox (with a eerily similar design/features) an

I would like to see the hold times for Zenefits decrease. The customer service, once getting somebody on the line, is very good. But to be fair, I also have hold times for Gusto, too. I had to put in a call-back number today.

I sent the same email to them, but I did get a response: We're fundamentally different than Zenefits in a few very important ways, so accessing all of Gusto's features still makes sense: 1) Payroll is your system of record in you

Zenpayroll & Gusto customer here. Looks like the biggest difference will be that Zenefits is free for payroll if you use them for everything else (vs Gusto at $29 base + 6/person per month). I wonder if Gusto will extend a similar

Former professional Counter-Strike player here, can confirm. A lot of the top players still play on 1024x768 even on widescreen monitors (some have it stretched, some have black bars on the side). While I can't explain the technical re
