Americans would have problems with this for 3 reasons: 1. You're cutting in the line. Most people wont say anything if you do it in person, but I can guarantee you they're thinking about saying something, and in their cars somethi

It's like that everywhere in the US. Not always legal, and also incredibly rude (frowned upon).

That's a recipe for getting your ass kicked, or at least targeted for an attempt.

Your last statement is exactly the kind of reasoning that I'm arguing against. Besides being an absurd generalization, it's also not necessarily true, at least if you're conflating needs and wants, which I suspect is what you

I don't think I ever used the terms fake or meaningless. My point is that the lifestyle being referenced might not be appealing to a majority of people, hence the reason most don't do it.

That I can most certainly agree with.

You're not seeing any complaints from me about traveling. I'm fine where I'm at. I'm just pointing out the flaws in the parent's reasoning, and explaining why it might not be appealing to people that do have a genui

So let me get this right... Don't spend my money on anything nice, having fun, or treating myself to something special in the hopes that I can travel the world as a beggar or poor person (5k-10k as is a substantially small travel budge

Exactly! It's more condescending and "holier than thou" than anything, with such clear bias that I don't find it fascinating or interesting at all.

I know it's a cynical point of view, but IMO these companies working on Hyperloop is akin to Hooli building inside out compression. I don't think it's going to work.

I came into this thread and expected to read encouraging and/or consoling comments, and instead all I see are people bashing the idea and its execution. Of those bashing this business, how many of you have actually built something of y

If you think that's double dipping, then you have a sad view of the world. Here's some news - when you actually earn a decent income, child tax credits do very little to offset taxable income, especially when you are a business ow

That's not true. Families build wealth together. My children don't do my work, but they work with mom to keep the house in order while I do. It's a family effort. Without the support of my wife and children, I would not be ab

Regardless of its purpose, it is extremely unfair, at least from a purely pragmatic perspective. The money was earned, and the government has no right to take it away just because you die.

A hop schedule would be very important for getting the flavor right. The way they describe hop additions is not sufficient, and they don't offer IBU estimates, so we're really only guessing how to get there. So as a brewer, my tho

This is where we're at too. We've long been evangelizing Mailchimp and Mandrill in our product, and as a result have sent plenty of customers their way. In fact, our product almost relies on them as a pair. Now, because of the ToS

As a founder, I've got sales guys cold calling and emailing me all day long. They are usually new, and completely disconnected from the realities that a startup founder faces. They also generally lack the authority to make decisions, s

Absolutely. This reads like a big fuck you to anyone that chooses to go it alone and/or doesn't want to submit themselves to the YC complex.

definitely. Not to mention WP's capability as an application platform. There are more PHP devs than node devs, and Ghost's adoption probably reflects that.

Watch the very first UFC tournaments...the ones where Royce Gracie won. You'll see something much different than what you see now. Modern UFC training is a blend of BJJ, Kickboxing, boxing, and other disciplines. Royce didn't use

have you considered that maybe the market doesn't want a "decent node-powered blogging platform?" Building a quality product takes time, and often times a lot longer than you think it will take. Lots of things get in the way,

Based on what I've read, clients were charged up until the last minute. I wonder how this affects them? Will Startups.co help to reimburse them in order to earn those customers back?

I'm baffled that so many people claim to have had a great experience. Every single interaction I had with their team, be it management or ZA's, was a poor one. They didn't attempt to understand our business at all, and kept f
