Previous comment here related to multiple down votes I received. I jumped the gun and lesson learned.

I'm big on systems and testing and generally more interested in people than the technical nature of technology. I just wanted to see if it would work. I did this off and on from the time I was 14 to 17 or so. I lived literally in the middle

When I had a lot more time, I would go into Yahoo chat and basically phish for pedophiles usernames/passwords. I can tell you that a "hehe" after anything will set the hook. I could on average phish about an account a minute and I was never

What I love about this video is at the end it repeats the introduction again. It's super awkward, but it shows how unpolished something can be and STILL be useful/valuable. The take away lesson: Do something publicly and reap the reward. Ke

SV is a special place that combines all sorts of things: talent, capital, ideas, culture. Most places lack one or two of these things. For example, where I live I'd say all but the ideas are lacking. The point is that Portland could be the

This is a horrible idea generally. It's a really bad idea to outsource your core competency. If your company builds software, you shouldn't outsource software development. Startups and ideas need time to change or pivot. If you're outsourci

What you are missing is that everyone else thinks their idea is the greatest idea, too. You could tell me your idea, and I'd probably laugh at you. I believe you're making some assumptions that simply aren't true. Screaming your ideas from

You're not in America, so I'm not sure of the implications of this, but honestly there's no reason to do the legal and accounts stuff until you absolutely have to. You can avoid that until you bring on investors, co-founders, etc for the th

I will second this in the social sciences, I went to a top rated public liberal arts school and I studied at most an average of probably 1 - 2 hours per class per week. So that's 5 hours per week for a typical semester.

In some ways the GPS device actually preserves some aspects of privacy. Privacy is not just where, but who and what. If an agent is following someone they also know to some extent who and what.

This seems fraught with adverse selection issues. 1. Only Fan Boys Apply. Only people who are willing to pay $100 to work at google will do so. 2. Only people without other opportunities will apply. For example, why would I pay $100 to appl

The biggest take away here is the iterative process they went through each day to get to where they are today. Imagine if I showed you the old 2000 homepage and today and said in 11 years they were going to have had a board seat on the fast

As a non-designer I've used both blueprint and the 960.gs grid system. They both work fine and I've never ran into the problems he describes with either one. My somewhat limited understand of the two is the blueprint addresses issues with t

I am a 24-year-old and would say that I would rather do the consulting + startup route than VC funding. However, I tend to not be attracted to building the next twitter, groupon, Facebook and instead would rather build the next company you'

His point is that while you used to love some content (teen angst poems, political ramblings by 17 year olds, etc) as you've grown older, you're probably smarter and more mature. The quality of teen angst poem hasn't necessarily declined, b

My previous comment was downvoted to at least -3 and it rose up again to 1. I think that proves that with enough eyes a good comment will at least get back to 1. Most comments occur on highly trafficked posts, which means most comments shou

So is this a statement or an argument? I would agree it sucks, but what would the cost of pg's time be to create, test, and implement this? Other than your emotional state, I don't see a huge win here.

While we all click the wrong arrow from time to time in the grand scheme of things it's probably a small percentage of the overall clicks. I've probably clicked two or three wrong arrows out of thousands of clicks, which makes it pretty muc

Your question shows why this is so hard to grok for most people. Imagine, if in America, anyone could stand up and propose an action. For example, they might say, "We're going to build this road from pointA to pointB. Who's in?" and then al

What type of skills does he have? If your brother can do design + marketing/sales + manage everything else, he can get hired. If he can't do that then it is going to be tough. You'll need to find the right start up in a position to take adv

The risks are often masked. This is an extreme example, but imagine a fund of ultra safe bonds and an investment in Zyanga, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Depending on the make up of the fund that particular funds risk profile may look similar to

While it may have an extensive legal jurisprudence, this issue is total separate. The rights protected in the constitution relate to the state. For example, we have a right to assemble and the state can not deny that. However, a private ent

This is something a lot of people don't always see. For example, I spent 20 hours building a website and doing all the SEO, link generation,etc and then just let it sit. It had a bunch of fake products and now 2 or 3 months later people are

I think the major thing here is to see that there are two types of problems. The first type of problems are easy to fix. You can throw more money at broken printers and leaky roofs. However, that's the easy part. Generate enough political w
