There are three major benefits presented by the internet to traditional media. First, the ability to offer far greater depth and breadth of coverage than could reasonably be offered in print. Second, the ability for the media to be instan

Must have been, we had an event at Sly Fox on New Years last year. We have an event coming up there on Saturday the 30th for Halloween, probably worth checking out if you're a fan.

I started Barhopolis (look at barsannapolis.com) as a hobby because we never knew what was going on until after it happened. We reach over 40,000 people a month now not including mobile, and we are growing fast. Last night we went around

I've gone to the gym an average of over 200 times a year for the last seven years, and I have yet to see a woman demeaned in some kind of prison-esque situation. The plural of anecdote isn't data, but thats a lot of anecdotes from lots of

Further, she doesn't seem to offer any actual evidence that Facebook was built by female ideas. It seems that everyone that was involved in Facebook in the early stages was male, and everyone that sued Facebook about those early stages was

The final clubs that the movie presents as the driving forces of social life at Harvard were and are fundamentally and functionally misogynistic, relics of a time when women couldn't own property and gained access to elite spaces based on

Does anyone have advice for getting in and seeing offices at startups/companies in the valley for people that are coming in for startup school, tours and whatnot? I found the info for the Airbnb party on their blog ( http://blog.airbnb.com/

At first I didn't really think this was smart because they are very different markets and devices. But then I started thinking, and within 6 years I think I'll have an iPhone with 8 GB of memory, a 2ghz quad-core processor, and 256GB of fl

I'm guessing the best area to stay is San Fransisco, is that right? Or is Palo Alto better? I haven't been to the Bay Area in years, so I'm really not sure which area of either place would be best, any suggestions. From San Fransisco, wha

Looking back, this is probably one of the most important initiatives in the last 30 years, though I don't usually like Stallman. I've personally found more utility in the BSD and MIT licenses, but the GNU initiative really spawned the free

I've been using your app for the last couple of weeks. I think it's the best tasks app on the iPhone at this point, really well thought out and easy to use. Any plans to offer an in-app upgrade to disable ads?

That same level of accidental discovery was never, and perhaps is never again going to be, quite as available as it was when paging through a book meant you HAD to see things that weren't AT ALL related to what you were looking for. I thi

My respect for Arrington keeps going up, and I can't help but admire what Ron Conway has to say about this. The no-bs approach works for him. I'm glad he called out the writing, I guess McClure's money is still green, but I don't think I

I really do believe that the Mexican Coke is a large contributing factor. I can taste a substantial difference between the two, and have gone out of my way to avoid corn syrup since.

If you are losing money on each transaction, you can't make it up in volume, you can only lose money faster. Your gross margin would have to be 75% to make money with a groupon promotion, without accounting for any of your fixed costs. Th

This was a great event. My business partner and I came in from out of town to check it out. Almost every talk was great, lots to learn. Chris Wanstrath had some great insights into viral growth, Bob Metcalf was very funny and produced so

I would argue that because of the computer savviness of computer scientists, documents and tutorials about computer science are more likely to be easily located and properly formatted for display on the internet.

Actually, I'm not mixing them up. There are incredible amounts of information readily available that will enable you to learn theory. If you are smart and motivated, you can learn theory without instruction.
