Not when you are an investor in Musk's projects (which I am). If investors don't see a return on "Fuck yeah, progress" type investments, they will stop making those investments and opportunities for progress to succeed w

A good entrepreneur needs to do both.

Yes, he is innovating and by far the most inspirational living entrepreneur in the tech world. But he's not even close to the most successful from a financial P&L standpoint yet. That honor would have to go to Larry Page.

I think this is great. But even more impactful would be pairing a move like this with a platform that automatically generates a form letter to send to the governor and state senate, so impacted people can express their outrage to the local

Well, I know this wasn't your intention, but you could always "sell" that top spot and edit in the content from a top marketer, keeping it subtle enough that it looks legit. Also, Mark is just one person. Imagine if you opene

I have. :) I suspect that it wouldn't lend itself as well to USA culture as it might to Japanese.

It's clever but so impractical for consumer use. You're going to put away your phone for a few hours while this prints and be OK with that? And if you're going to have to buy another device just to use this in a practical way

I'd also add to that - build in a simple way to export your data (maybe it already exists). That kind of trust and confidence in your product being so good that you give people the keys to leave at any time would remove any hesitation

It's because VCs would rather their investments would take risks then not. With risks, at least there is a chance you will accomplish great things (and there is only a chance you will get caught if your risk wasn't fully above the

I've lived in Israel and never observed any ethnic cleansing, slow or otherwise. I'm not a zionist. I was just a student studying abroad and have both Israeli and Arab friends (from variety of Middle Eastern countries). I do hear

I'm betting that by the time this is real (and assuming the shown implementation is what actually goes live), everyone will have their own personal QR code so there will be no mistakes.

Can you elaborate on why? Do you not feel this lawsuit is excessive and a slap in the face to the enormous amounts of good-will Ahmed and his family generated in the first place?

Should schools really not take security seriously though? Do we really want people second guessing themselves when it comes to safety? That precedent is asking for trouble.

Sorry, that seems opportunistic. I felt bad for him, but no way he was scarred to the tune of $15 million. Even the bad experience had a major upside - he was offered an internship to Twitter and an invitation to the White House. Schools ar

I wish instead of: "we shop, chop and deliver to your door" on the homepage they modified the expression to "we shop, chop and drop it off at your door"

I really like that you specifically spell out how many emails the user will receive next to the registration form. That's a nice and explicit upfront "user promise" that I think will make people trust you more. You may wish t

Yes. Especially in a game where you are dependent on raising capital, you always need to have an air of confidence about you.

It was a really hard business model to support and get to work. You are paying for the forward belief that the network itself will be strong enough to ultimately justify the costs, but over time if that belief isn't met (and it wasn&#x

Most files that are stored and take up space are photos and videos. This could really hurt dropbox.

It's probably possible, but trials are decided on the letter of the law, not the spirit. It's easier for a lawyer to write in legalese then stress about making human readable words cover all the scenarios legalese was intended to

A FAQ and about page would be extremely useful here. What is it? What are it's limitations? Who are you building this for? What happens if sproute goes out of business? I'm sure this can be gleaned from an in-depth read through th

Great domain! See what we did here, where every paragraph is summarized in human readable English.: http://aviary.com/legal/terms I do think offering this as a service for most companies would be a very useful (if sma

1) I never understood the odd trend of having a jpeg of a handwritten signature included in a digital email. A signature is supposed to designate authenticity, but a letter on a authenticated website is inherently authentic. So it's fo

Vamoose bus is genius. They line up people on regular streets (where there are no restrictions on idling) and the bus pulls up and picks them up. There's no expensive terminal rent to maintain or coordinate, so the only costs are the d

Yup. There's a reason for that. Spammers are trying to target idiots specifically. Normal intelligent people who would otherwise get tricked tend to be the type with the wherewithall to follow up with authorities. Idiots tend not to be

Seeing a demo email would be incredibly useful. As it is, I don't understand what it will show me and wouldn't sign up without knowing that information.
