Amount of Dopamine released in your brain will peak after about 2 years of being with a new partner, at which point it's replaced by oxytocin. It's evolutionary: you change from being the lusty lovers to the providers (kids, job,

Three words: high fidelity prototypes. You can use them irregardless of the process to distribute your application. You should already have customer feedback on your app before you even commit engineering resources to write production quali

It's not that bad that Patrick has the accent, but he talks really fast. I struggled to listen to his talk at Hacker School. I have talked to him solo in person and understood him fairly well; maybe it was just the auditorium.

Yeah. It worked so well that people would have to turn my office light on or off in order to get my attention, I'd really get in the zone and without external noise I would hardly notice people walking around.

This used to be a problem when I started working at a company in 2009. Lots of office noises and conversations going on, I couldn't focus. Pretty sure I have an oversensitivity to noise too, as mentioned in this article. The solution f

The smartest hacker I know was approached by Google, apparently they found that he was working on some interesting stuff on LinkedIn. They asked him if he'd come in for an interivew and he told them "I'm not going to do an in

As a founder, this is one of the most frustrating things you may deal with: having another founder who has to worry about visa problems.

A few things that seem strange: - Where's the Y Axis on that graph? It could be 10 or 1,000 downloads and I wouldn't know the difference. - #9 fastest growing based on what index? It'd be impressive to say it's #9 in the

Seems like a pretty common early stage startup to me--they look like sure shots from the outside, but internally everything seems like it's imploding. I remember joining my first startup back in 2007, and even after it received funding

This is like Snapchat for the web, except it's too easy to take a screenshot of the content which means there's not much of a point to the view limit. You could make it difficult perhaps by requiring the user follow a path with th

I looked through your comment history to see if you already answered and couldn't find it. What happened when you got stuck? I'd suspect there were points where you couldn't figure something out; it tends to happen when you b

Yes, there is -- which is why I can empathize with Aaron on this one. It feels a lot like being bullied when a company makes the dilution argument. There was a brief dispute we had with Zynga who wanted us to change the name of CupidWithFri

Why would you want to be a force for something like that? Spend your energy doing something productive. I think Airbnb has an honest mission and the legality will hopefully work itself out. I guess if you're just looking to make a quic

I think you had a bad experience with that one listing -- and the proper recourse is to write an honest review, just as you would on Yelp for an experience that wasn't what you were expecting. This helps prevent it from happening in th

I'm having trouble replying to this comment, having met Brian in 2009 and later interviewing him for a book. I am wondering if you are confusing them with some other founders.

Were there hidden fees that you didn't see? I filter by price and feedback, so I know the hosts are legit. The cleaning fees are shown on the listing. They show you response rate, so you know if the hosts are active or not. You won&#x2

I'm not sure why this is downvoted. That stigma in dating is still alive and strong today, and Airbnb is still stigmatized for some of the younger people I know outside of Silicon Valley. Part of the article talks about trust, which is

There has been somewhat of a stigma associated with it. I was the guy telling my friend in Illinois about it when we were planning a trip to LA with some other friends. I also told my parents when we were planning a vacation. Once you exper

This is probably my favorite PG essay to date, something I've spent a lot of time thinking about as well. I think what separates novice investors from good ones is that a novice investor will start asking questions that only make sense
