I guess it would be to eBays benefit to let people use Auctomatic. And I guess it be easier for eBay to buy Auctomatic then to copy eBay.

I don't get it..I do not see how auctomatic can defend their company from eBay just redoing some of it's UI.

Oh he actually wrote a "it's-not-you-it's-me essay", I actually didn't think he was arrogant, until you mentioned that. If that is true, then he really is arrogant.

As true as this account may be, It would have been in the author's interest to not reveal it at all online, Since after all he still has equity in the company.

I disagree, I have different set of axioms than you. My axioms are based on morality and well-being. What are you axioms based on ?

The simplest answer is that many people believe the "free market wage" is not always the apropriate wage. Anyhow your defining the free market wage, as the wage the get paid if the have no legal help in there negotations. And then your def

If your making your clients install software, why not just make your clients install a specific broswer ?

I just meant more that if someone was starting a streaming live video on the go startup. The technology I would be interested in seeing, is if they had developed a easily portable camera with persistant wireless connection. I personally d

Umm..do any of the people "in the know" as you say, have a technical background other than computer science? Ive heard plenty of people in CS refer to a cool programming language as a new "technology". That may be a technically correct us

But from what I have read, they just hacked together off-the-shelves technologies. Making new technology in the semi-conductor industry is often very expensive. Besides the skill set required to hack-together off the shelve technology is

Im guessing they only have software advantages...seems unlikely they have actual technology without having an electrical engineer on their team.

That is an interesting argument. Now what public policies would you advocate for based on your previous thesis ?

Wow, you did not comprehend a single word I wrote. Therefore this conversation is over.

Since you define what someone is worth as what they are getting paid..you essentially stating a tautology. However, I would also note that since what people get paid depends on the existance of Unions, and is also effected by the law and ce

Well this goes into the whole philosophical question of the word "freedom" and "free will"... It all depends what you mean by the word "freely". But unless you are actually rich, you don't really have the freedom to not get a job. So I w

"They don't make something people want." So I guess YC.News has become a cult.

I love the intellectual lengths people will goto to justify their own greed. This is a classic argument you are making. It makes me richer to exploit workers. But if i don't exploit my workers than I will be denying my workers their econo

I certainly agree with the philosophy of trying to use greed as a motivation/engine for good. But I certainly do not think it is moral for unions to be weak.

That argument would make sense, if you were refering to say someone like evil-knivel, who may be compensated heavily for making extremely dangerous stunts. But in reality I imagine your talking about coal miners, who are not in the coal min

Why do we need a "Theory" to justify being against Unions? If we want to be selfish and keep all the money for the people at top of society. Let us just be honest about it, and say we are selfish and will use the power we have to satisfy

a business model that depends on people explicity breaking their wireless phone contracts, can only work if there is some negatiating edge, which force the telecoms to negotatiate with you. I.E. if your product somehow allows the telecoms

so your trying to help people share live streaming video. It would really help to have a video camera with a decent bandwidth connection to the internet to do that.

It is not that the average person will trust google over zenter, as much as the average person, will not even know that zenter exists. Its hard to give someone a chance, if you don't even know they exist.

I agree with you people should not feel bad personally when they do not make the "cut". But when people do feel bad about not making the cut...they usually are not thinking "I should have been judged as #499 instead of #501". They are more
