The point isn't necessarily to venture out and start a company The point is that your title "Why You Should Quit Your Job to Be a Founder" contradicts your explanation here. So it is a link bait title. I did however like the article.

The problem is that certain Hacker News users are submitting stories from blogger X. No matter how relevant/irrelevant the story is to Hacker News. There is no curation. There is just a race to 1st submit to gain karma. For Marco.org sub

From my rough viewing of this page: http://appnetstats.com/ I'm seeing that "Unique users today" is around 10-15% of 17,500 at the end of the day. Let's high ball that and say it has 3000 daily users (if we consider a user as someone who

Yahoo! is in crisis mode and I think Marissa is making the right moves. If what she says inspires current employees and keeps talent then it is all worth while. Now the pessimist could see Yahoo! as a dying company/stock. Apple was in the

Here is how a good boss would rationalize it. Boss: Hi new Employee, what laptop would you like to use as your daily computer? Employee: A $700 Dell. Boss: Are you just saying that to save the company money? Because it's not about the mone

Find me a credible publication that will: A) Use the mentioned picture as the centerpiece to their article. B) State incorrectly that it is a picture of Neil Armstrong. Neither is likely to happen. It is just a common misconception that it

by jyap 14y ago
The only people who care that it isn't a picture of Neil Armstrong are: - People who know it isn't a picture of Neil Armstrong and feel like they need to point that out. - People who are bothered by the slight inaccuracy that it isn't a pic

Say company X sells 200 phones and makes $1000 profit. Company Y sells 150 phones and makes $10,000 profit. In this case we are comparing apples with apples. So it is a valid metric of comparison. In the same reasoning, if company Z sells

It's strange to read the comments here on Hacker News that people are glad and "relieved" that games in Google+ are gone. Put it this way, if Google+ remains a nerdvana, then it has lost. Google wants Google+ to be a household name. Not a
