I remember meeting the founder in the demo pit of TechCrunch 50 back in 2008. Remarkable perseverance. Happy to see it work for people who stick it out.

Have loved TechMeme since the beginning. Awesome product. My only dig is that it is not very useful until about 10-11am PST. After that, I check it a 3-5 times per day.

It's not worth buying any of these 'Smart' TVs. I don't know whether it is a shoddy developer experience provided by the likes of Samsung / Vizeo etc or if it's the developers themselves (Hulu I'm looking

Instead of waiting, you can just order a small Writeyboard now which is exactly the same thing. http://www.Writeyboards.com

To me these losses could be completely justified. It's a simple calculation of two companies (Uber and Lyft) who perceive customer LTV to be huge so they are tripling down on acquiring customers, drivers, etc. The only way I see this a

Traffic in Los Angeles is in a sad state. I have moved my house and office to within 2.5 miles of eachother so that I never need to see a freeway. I am fortunate to be able to do so. There is heavy traffic all the time, even when you least

I'm a fan of Soylent but I wouldn't say things like 'Soylent prides itself on rapid product development—an ideal popularized by Google and Facebook Inc.' Things that are going into my body should not be rapidly developed

You should add a 4th V which is very important to why advertisers are liking SnapChat, which is Volume. SnapChat ads naturally have sound on and users expect it to be that way; another element to its similarities to television advertising.

Not entirely. As you know, public companies fluctuate heavily on other factors than just financial news. Something like a summary judgment in New York or California that negatively impacts AirBnB's business could send it for a spiral.

This shouldn't hold up the deal. GM can write in the agreement that Cruise shareholders have an unresolved potential obligation which they will cover with proceeds. I had to deal with this at a previous company and it in no way blocked

I've noticed that this has stopped working on WSJ if you've already hit the paywall and try to google the article to bypass.

The only fact I'd point to is that if A16Z were to raise a new fund, it would be wildly oversubscribed as with most other top VC firms. If I'm Andreesen, that's the only thing I'd point to.

This is an interesting deal. There was an article posted on HN a while ago that talked about investors pouring money into publicly traded companies who directly compete with private tech companies who have insanely high valuations. http:&#

Getting tired of these posts. It is so easy to say college is irrelevant. At a high level, it is a mostly generalized education that of course can no longer guarantee success due to the sheer amount of people who now obtain a degree. Howeve

I wanted HomeJoy to work and tried to use the service a few times. What the failure came down to: 1. The cleaners were not professionals. It felt like they were just recruiting anyone who wanted a job. You could really feel this with the la

I am not a college student anymore, but I can only imagine the time savings of searching for answers and/or keywords in an ebook when writing a paper or finishing a take home test. As for the ebook vs print argument as a 29 year old, I

The way Google seems to be approaching self-driving cars is the right one in my opinion. Self-driving cars will be on-demand, booked through something like Uber and will not be owned by the end-user. I feel that the other car companies work
