Very interesting hiring approach. The space has seemed ripe for innovation for years and years. Highly motivated job seekers willing to jump through a lot of hoops seem to be on the bottom side of talent. How do you solve this issue?

Not bad? That is ridiculously low.

An Indian billionaire donated ~2 billion to education. I have always thought investment into education is the optimal strategy for increasing the rate of human progress against time.

From the FAQ: Isn't this unoriginal? Yes, in the same way svbtle is unoriginal. See the original ["inspiration" for svbtle].

It is all about the success of mobile adoption + monetization of mobile. Facebook is well positioned for it. The android user experience is very slippery.

I find bluetooth the biggest battery hog - I only switch it on to tether. Have you tried that?

Oh come on - blackberries are a reasonable work phone even still. It handles corporate email and calendars quite well. Works great while travelling. More durable and cheaper than iphones/droids. As a personal phone they are obviously wel

I believe the reason we don't have an iPhone Nano is battery life. The minimum size you can make the iPhone with acceptable battery life is the current form factor. Given the current rate of improvement for batteries I would wager we don't

Apple is just getting back to its roots of success - multiple product versions. Obviously an iPod was amazing, but they captured a huge chunk of the market when they came out with the lesser Nano. I think tablets are hitting the phase where

I know from experience it is hard to think objectively right after a YC interview rejection - but use this as an opportunity to be introspective and learn from the experience. I think whether or not they 'remember' the nitty gritty details

Agree with you Matt. Check out the google docs promo vids they used during day 2 of Google IO. (wow this was painful to find) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPtJd6AzU8c&feature=youtu... That style of fun product demonstration would b

I am not sure you understand the argument. #1 is like saying virus makers don't write virii for the operating system I wrote for myself...it just means I have an obscure operating system not necessarily a virus proof operating system. If ev

From what I understand meth is produced really poorly by regional producers. I think it would end up more expensive at your local pharmacy if legalized. The benefit would be you know you won't lose your teeth from the odd chemicals the pro

Interesting perspective. Firstly, substances can be used without 'abuse'. Alcohol is a good example of this, you probably know many users who never abuse it. Alcohol most certainly can cause severe, immediate harm to the abuser an society

Should any substance be illegal? If we start banning substances rationally, wouldn't cigarettes top the list.

I believe the hardware limit on iPads is still pretty shitty compared to some next gen touchscreens. It is already likely reasonably optimized.

His analysis and conclusion seem sound. Apple TV is ready for apps, and it would likely involve a range of partnerships with HBO, Showtime. High quality, reliable streaming to your iPhone, iPad, and TV is a desirable market for paid subscr

High salary 95 out of 100 times. I look back on a "startup salary" with equity and wonder what the hell I was thinking. They recently had a very small exit and after raising money and screwing over early employees on options...high salary
