Do all the startups get the ~$80k VC money? And is that at the beginning of the batch or at the end? (This part isn't mentioned like the $14-20k funding is http://ycombinator.com/apply.html )

This is (surprisingly) very cool! Some of these results could easily be hung on a wall. I'd love it if you could add some sort of crude voting system, so that the good ones rise to the top.

Might be more difficult with someone with more limited appeal (to the mainstream) like Tim Cook, but I do believe they've raised considerably more than that with their other auctions. To be clear, I don't actually know how much they've rais

Seems a shame that they're using the traditional auction format, meaning only the very rich will have this opportunity. Would have been much better if they'd offered the lottery ticket style of prizeo.com, would have bought a few tickets wi

I completely understand that and I appreciate any effort to make the world of lawyers more accessible. Maybe I just no that by the video cus it's just tried a bit too hard to be funny. Plus, the memorable points for the video were some guys

I can understand why they're trying to do with a funny commercial, but I think it's misplaced when their product is dealing with serious law issues. To me, it just made them come across like they're not very serious, even a little juvenile.

You're right, what extra information is this URL sending? I haven't seen it any other techcrunch linked article. http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/20/cognitive-overhead/?icid=wym3&grcc2=870a9d585d2156a619b69a6861141a34~1366515093871~fca

What are the indicators that this is a malicious DDoS attack rather than just unprecedented traffic from interest in the Boston manhunt? Also, what reason is there for a DDoS attack on Reddit right now?

I think I agree. I don't believe a startup can work if the focus is on equity grabbing or if any agreement leaves one founder feeling less committed to the project than the other. A sense of ownership is one of the big motivators that helps

I'm actually a little surprised that an equal equity split is apparently the default and preferred option in the valley. It's quite an unspeakable topic in my experience so I'd appreciate if someone could confirm this. I remember being told

Is this on your iPhone or on the web? Can you provide a link to it live anywhere?

by jordn 14y ago
Yeah I think Twitter originally announced only that it would be going live today ( http://gma.yahoo.com/twitter-music-app-launches-for-iphone-a... ) and Techcrunch has paraphrased that poorly. Edit: added 'Today' to title to clarify.

Well that's exactly my point with the eReader. They did the hardware (in most regards better than Amazon) but because they didn't do much for past-sale services they ultimately lost out. The viewpoint of things as stand alone devices has ru
