I think it is more about removing "bad" growth. People moving to suburbs and so consuming more oil is such a bad growth. People buying high quality expensive bio food is (or at least shouldn't) be bad growth. Making processes more efficient

Funny, by reading the GP, I thought exactly the opposite - that in the context of the sentence, that would be a woman with a career to pay the bills. May be hard to have two entrepreneurs tho - Or only without children.

"I visited your twitter account, and I saw that most of your tweets don't have replies." When I look my TV, or read a book, I rarely answer the writer, anchor, redactor... Still it is communication. Not like "communication with friends", mo

Sorry to answer on the most superficial aspect and last line of your post... But I wonder why PG's site is so thin in width, making it extremely well readable, while HN uses the whole screen width? I consider the whole screen text use a UI

Deep rooted in the way they do hiring interviews in the first place maybe? Look like they target heavy cold problem solving people, can it get them conflict-solving people?

I'd like to see some counter arguments against that. Please discuss instead of downvoting.

And so many people mean it's a bubble, it can't be one. Real bubble are not seen by much people, except when they blast. Everyone knows the 2000 crash now. How many bubble repeated themselves in the same scenario in the modern history in a

So now... What if this business is based in China? Coca Cola can't sue them that easily, but they can easily sue Facebook.

You almost defined the P/E - the price earning ratio. Usually, a stock is worth around the order of 10 to 20 times the yearly earnings of the company. If you take all AAPL stocks, their value is around 17 years of earnings. P/E can be highe

I find electronic communication fine for most work tasks - but definitely not enough for tourism. Also not for seeing loved ones like my best friends and family.

You're right! That would be the rich way and would be of course totally awesome. You have to be really successful before to be able to do that though ;) That would just make 99% of the readers feel miserable as a result...

Can you explain the first line a bit more? I am a NY fan and maintain electronic contacts with many people there, but it's nothing compared to being there in person in my opinion.

OK. Car-dealers loans (made by the car-marker banks) run usually around 1% where I live. Inflation is currently around 2.5% yty. Also some investments are quite tax-free, but most investment run about 25% taxes here in Germany.

You seem to have a quite white/black view of the world. Managers in most locations, in small or big companies, often try to do their best to keep employment local. Partly this has to do with the fact to be able to show "their" team physical

Is the "account" unity so relevant for Facebook? If you use the same IP and same password, and have regular login patterns, it's probably easy to identify same people having multiple accounts. I think Google already can do that BTW.

I find it much easier in the evenings to read about programming than to program. For me that is not the same, although it is very useful also, on a bit different level.

Not sure. Electronic communication keeps increasing, apparently making travel always less needed, yet flight passenger numbers worldwide keep increasing. Yes, the electronic experience will improve, but expect real world attractions that wi

OK... I have two answers to that. First, when you are rich, it is easier to get a better return on investment. Because you can afford better advisors, and because you work with higher volumes, bringing the transaction costs down, and possib

While you are telling that, I also get the impression after thought that yes, less aggressive or provocative comments have happened since the points are not displayed anymore. It's just a totally subjective impression, of course.
