   I heard this the other day and thought it was interesting enough to post. What's cool was that when he founded Avis, there already were car rental companies operating around the country but all their car rental lots were located in downtown

   No matter how hard Google tries to create an environment where people are creative and get things done there's no way to truly duplicate a few really smart people getting together, coming up with an idea and making it. As I think PG mentio

   I had an idea for something simple and decided to hack it together during lunch today. How about a little friendly competition once a week? See what we can hack in an hour? It was fun to have the idea, choose an implementation and hack it

    Your navigation links are broken. They still have the 8080 port reference from your development code.

    Doesn't help much, but one thing you can do is feel good that you have good ideas. The second thing you can do is launch a competitor immediately. If she's using an outsourcing firm and isn't actually doing the development herself you've go

    What's most interesting is they ask what your revenue goals are. Does that mean in addition to spamming your site with traffic they'll click on some ads too? Sounds like a disaster if you ask me.

    I have to imagine that pitching to VCs is bad enough, adding reality tv to that must make it a complete nightmare.

    I didn't realize this was part of a tv show when I posted this link. Some of it seems pretty silly in that light.

    I'm very interested in applying theory or formula to "real life". PG used this to handle spam. What other types of things could Bayesian reasoning be used for?

    I agree with Sam. I've long since decided that while I'm keenly interested in how to build clean and very usable sites I just don't have the skills to provide the level of polish I want. If you find out that you don't have the eye for desi

    It's a strange portrait. The way he's described, I picture a character from an Ayn Rand novel.

    I suspect you might actually be Don Dodge. Is that true? Judging by your comments, you don't seem to be a very big fan of YC. :D

    I would agree that teaching someone else is the best way to learn. The reason why is because when you teach someone else you are forced to understand how something works. Learning why 2 + 2 = 4 is true is much more important than memorizing

    Give them a private key they can append to the RSS url request? They can use that private url to pull out stickies that are for their eyes only. Example: www.studystickies.com/rss/privatekey As far as having an export format, if you target

    I know this is way off topic but every time I see that pic on his blog, I become unnerved. I'm not sure he's a real person. He's kind of plastic looking. It's almost like he's Steve Ballmer's avatar.

    Very interesting but a bit misleading. Where's the recommended feature? Where are the comments? If I know anything, it's that the devil is in the details. Building something that simple doesn't take much code at all but I'm willing to bet
