The print friendly version is hard to read due to unbroken lines. The normal version has too many pages splits. Does anyone know a good javascript commandlet that will apply good style to plain text?

I think this is how VCs select startups as well. They are investing in the people. That's why Loudcloud can get $45mil valuation after 2 months from founding and anyone else with the same idea would get laughed out of the building.

Blippy sounds incredibly stupid. Hence it will probably be a hit as a service. The question is when they will be bought by Facebook? Or Facebook can spend a couple of months to push out their own service.

Why was Plenty of Fish used as the sole example in this article? It makes $10 million in profits a year and would take 100 years to make the $1 billion in profits that he require for a startup to be considered as a "scalable startup."

The simplest way to get more organ donors is to make the system opt out instead of opt in. People use the default choice most of the time since they believe it is default for a reason and don't think about it.

It is just more complicated. What count as a product? Is it per platform, per version? Is what you are building an enabling software? Also, notice that there is no free provision for low volume, or internet broadcast.

All the talk of h264 and not one word about AAC? h264 license is actually very affordable for small companies (free for less than 100,000 users) and large. (capped fee per year) AAC is less friendly.

Just getting a lawyer to double check things. Just the base fees of DE incorporation, getting a registered agent then register as a foreign entity will cost you around $500.

It is expected that there would be different strategies employed by a population. Game theory can derive this result. John Maynard Smith introduced the idea of a evolutionarily stable strategy. The idea is to use the classic game theory pay

It is great that he summarized many of his posts in one concise post. I've read and followed his advice to form my first corp recently. But it took a few days of research to understand what he was saying and why. It still costed me over $2k

It might have been nice to see some examples of deep stupidity in the article. All I got out of the article was you can do stupid stuff and enjoy it.

My view on success is similar to my view on leaders, the scale of success is dependent on circumstance and luck. Just because he is the richest man in the world doesn't mean his advice is better or worse than any other moderately successful

I think the ratio of alive vs deadpooled companies is something that may attract applicants. For example, if 144 companies died and success was Google, it might have been a great return for YC, but I am not sure if applicants would see it i

It is pretty clear that Apple will include some kind of multitasking. Their API already include hints of how this could be done. I submitted a link to HN that speculated on how it would work.

How important is writing a blog for the success of your startup? I wouldn't write a blog if the only reason I do it is to help my business. The three things he lists, coding, networking and blogging all have to do with expressing your point

Hmm, if the best part of Android is the free wheeling, beloved by geeks and not anyone else store, then I am not sure if Android is the competitor I thought it is. A locked down store is totally what carriers want. They want the revenue str

The funny thing is that at least people back then dreamed big, even if it turned out to be stupid after the fact. Now people just chase after social graph and all try to make money off it in some way or another. Can anyone point me to a sta

If you haven't read "Predictably Irrational," you should go out now and find it. In the book, it states that people have "price imprinting." That the first price someone hears about a product will have dramatic impact on how he will perceiv

The simple public karma system used by Reddit/HN is pretty bad. HN even lump comment and submit karma contexts. I think an algorithm like PageRank would be better. Each user has an authority rank and voting up or down content produced by an

A more correct title is "most binary search implementations have a bug" but that isn't catchy enough. When I first saw an article about it, it was actually in the context of how hard it is to write correct code. That should be the take away
