The only real shame in this case is that HN is becoming a place for people to air their trivial meta nonsense. You got an unwanted piece of email? Take a second to mark it as spam and be done with it. Sweet mother of god, you got it via HN?

When it's your own money on the line it takes on a different aspect than dropping junior off at the gate More so than the fact that it's your own kid? I'd think that that would be the ultimate motivation for parental involvement...

Not if you realize that determination is just one factor in the path to success. A founder could push his determination to the absolute limit and still fail, since there are so many other variables at play.

Goldman Sachs just paid out 16 billion dollars in bonuses to their employees. If we had an extra 16 billion dollars lying around, we’d put it in the bank for a rainy day. (If Goldman had never paid out bonuses they never would have needed

You gotta give the guy credit for writing 3 whole pages without saying a single, solitary, concrete fact about what exactly the company does. It's almost like a challenge where he's daring the reader to figure it out.

The feedback button on the olark homepage directs to a getsatisfaction page set up under their previous domain name, hab.la. Aside from this, anyone else like the name hab.la much better than olark?

Annoying is putting it mildly. Downright useless is the way I'd describe it. Virtually every single post is a 'paid review' where, in return for $500, John will shill anything you want him to. Literally. There is no screening process wh
