Fond memories of the movie Minority Report spring to mind. Startups are, in fact, working on this exact end-game facial recognition based ad technology right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-ZLw2Q7U2M and the company: http://www.imm

I've been in the same position as this James guy and as a founder doing the hiring. No founder is going to find an over-achieving experienced engineer that will work for pennies on the dollar, make a statistically stupid bet with your equi

It seems like you're still making a lot of decisions without knowing why. You know what they say about assumptions... Without analytics data you really have no idea if this is a positive, negative, or neutral change. The vocal minority of c

Our teams share code by not coding in Unity projects. All the assemblies are added as plugins with a build script. The games have very little code actually accessible from within Unity. You lose the nice edit and continue, but for a big pro

I'm no YC dude, but if I were a betting man, I'd give them money due to: 1. History of shipping stuff 2. Huge ass market 3. Solving a real pain point for indie game devs out there 4. Simple, easily understood, business model 5. Domain exper

You should test the level cutoff concurrently. Try 5, 30, 100 in a multivariate test. Spend enough ad dollars to get a comfortable level of significance within a week. Roll up the test for everyone. Make sure you don't tell anyone how many

A lot of commenters here are mentioning Nguyen is pulling in a "CEO Salary". Does anyone actually know this? As a founder CEO with a lot of personal cash in the bank, I would assume he is taking little to no salary. Not that this makes up f

The Azure Mobile Services look to be a first step for Microsoft to wrap up some of their Azure offerings in a nice little package with a bow on top. Azure goes very much beyond what's mentioned in this article. Azure is something like a mas

Clearly the game of Telephone has never been able to have a higher impact than it does today with the speed and scale of the social internet. But I think there is one question left unanswered: Why are we assuming this story itself is in fac

EA knows this type of litigation is probably a waste of time, in terms of shutting down a particular game. But, it is probably at least partially a PR stunt to drive down Zynga's flailing stock price and hurt the long term outside capital o

Yeah, but, "identical behavior" and "strikingly similar" are not Copyright violations.

It would probably be valuable to use some amount of that $11m to fund development of interesting applications/startups that showcase Meteor in the real world. For instance, you notice something interesting a community member is building on
