If you haven't watched/read about the real estate agents' incentives from Freakonomics, this[1] video will shed some light. There are a lot of parallels with the recruiters. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v

I believe the author is confusing "Default Alive" with "Self Funded". In fact, raising money for a Default Alive company is a lot easier than Default Dead. Every Self Funded company has to be Default Alive, but the conve

I am always lookout for a good email client (iOS and OS X). I used Sparrow years after it was acquired by Google and had no support. It was a great email client. Surprisingly, the iOS client that works for me now is Outlook. I just checkout

These numbers are great from aggregation/press perspective, but they are not enough to tell if YC is doing good or bad. For instance, last 3 YC batches had ~250 (or maybe 300) companies funded. That is almost 1/3 of the total comp

Serious question - What part of their UX do you think is game changer? I use DO and Linode. They both look similar to me. DO does have better UX than AWS, but I think DO is comparable to Linode rather than AWS. On the other hand, I think DO

I don't know about Parse, but Flurry and GA track on an aggregate basis, not user basis. Mixpanel (or KISSMetrics) are good solutions to track data per user basis and a lot more in-depth tracking. Flurry tracks retention, but it is not

We circumvent Mixpanel's limited events early on and stayed under their free tier for as long as we could. This is what our setup looks like: We collect millions of data points a month and save them on our servers. We do not use Mixpan
