I have, and it's getting better constantly. You can see positive changes in the UI, speed, and virtually everything else on a weekly or fortnightly basis.

Having actually known John in real life, I disagree with your description of him as a narcissist.
424.
by jedc 15y ago
His family clearly supported him (based on a few other news outlets that actually interviewed them).

Yes, other news reports have unfortunately already confirmed this.

This happened about ten days ago. I knew John a little, and put up a post with a couple memories here: http://blog.mercury-rac.com/2011/05/29/in-memory-of-john-del... And here's one from the Freakonomics blog: http://www.freakonomics.co

It's been a LOT worse this year with the Pirelli tires compared to the Bridgestones of last year.

This is fairly shocking. First, for it to happen at all. And second, that it took this long to talk about it. Looks like everyone involved has some explaining to do in order to regain credibility...

In the original post, he used a very specific query and his site was listed 2nd. Naturally the scrapers were also all over that results page, since they were all exact matches to the text. I didn't see anything about him complaining about

The article above is about his problems getting an AdWords campaign approved, not about his ranking in search results.

Some remarkable stats on how much it's taken to get SpaceX off the ground. Apparently only $800million in total development costs since they were founded, and that includes infrastructure and dev costs for Falcon 1, Falcon 9 and the Dragon

Wow... I don't envy the work it takes for you and the YC partners to review applications, particularly when the numbers make such a step change.

There are over 1000 videos like this in various forms: http://www.youtube.com/atgoogletalks A lot of them are authors, but there are a bunch of other celebrities, musicians, politicians, and a ton of others. I'd recommend clicking on "Up

Umm... this doesn't sound 'elitist', it sounds like 'health and safety requirement' alone. My university opened up a facility like this when I was there, and had very similar requirements. That said, I (nor anyone else I've heard of) don'

A guy I worked with ~10 years ago had done an overseas move. Unfortunately for him, all of his family's stuff was in a shipping container that fell overboard. It had happened two years before I met him and he was still dealing with the

That's fantastic. I assumed that they kept a waiting list in order to keep the restaurant full. This is really interesting. Does OpenTable have an affiliate program?

Thanks, Peter. This is exactly the kind of program that I was talking about. I hope their connections to schools are able to turn startups in this market into businesses with real impact quickly.

Nope, same guy. Fred has written a fair bit about him before.

Wow, thanks PG (and Fred and AirBnB team). This is an awesome insight into angel/VC investment decisions. It's hugely valuable.

by jedc 16y ago
Exactly. There are a lot of niches that could use a specific startup accelerator. (One ideal example is anything where you have to manufacture "stuff"... thinking about the trials and travails of Wakemate.) While I'm sure PG would argue t
