Excited for this. Checked out Startup Education fund. Zuck should've put a lil more effort on this page. It's pretty awful and seems outdated. http://www.startupeducation.org/

Any ideas as to what the true market rate for these types of jobs is? Theoretically, if BART did not have a union, would we expect it to be filled with minimum wage or $40K type salaries. Any other thoughts into how much labor costs as a pr

You could monetize pretty nicely just by offering a job board too in the future. There's a ton of cash in the recruiting business... just wish the signal to noise ratio wasn't so awful.

If you read some of the comments on the article they simply cite automation techniques that are focused on decreasing costs for merchants like grocery checkout. It's true, these are arguably worse than the human alternative. However, t

I don't think that this is all accurate. Foursquare will survive or get bought out like Loopt. I think they'll be in the retention business soon. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5533949

Employment law in Italy (as you probably know) makes it really difficult to lay off workers. Recently, a new law passed allowing companies to let go of up to 4 people per quarter (I'm a bit fuzzy). I think there will be increased relaxness
