Lots of discussion here about ratios of usable space in tall structures. Why don't we solve that by putting the elevators on the outside of the building?

Didn't Apple make the Flashlight feature a core iOS7 thingie? So, problem solved?

Your app probably sucked and Apple had to pick some reason to deny it. Any excuse will do, no?

Minor nit. Sol Price was not a founder of Costco, he was the founder of Price Club. Which was acquired by Costco.

This is a difficult thing to wrap your head around. My assumption is that the vast majority of people haven't formed an opinion yet. And many others don't have a problem with what the NSA is doing.

Do not use this article as an reason to stop taking Vitamin D. Totally different thing altogether. This article demonstrates the problem with calling all of these things "vitamins."

This article and concept makes no sense. "moving to business model before finding product market fit can be the worst thing for your business" What?? Product-market fit is a fundamental part of the business model. Determining who your custo

As we move from coal based to natural gas based electricity generation around the world, the amount of CO2 emissions as a percentage of energy produced will naturally decrease. There are fewer carbon atoms attached to natural gas than coal,

Agree++. Want to recruit a technical co-founder? Go vet your precious idea with 100 potential customers, make three pivots and then approach me with what you learned. Then we can have a useful conversation.

If you talk to EMTs you'd find most calls are for elderly people with heartburn. Yes, some people abuse the system. Maybe offer one free ride a year or something.

A startup differs from a small business in that it is scalable. A restaurant or a CPA firm is not scalable since you can't grow faster than your headcount. The author is asking for stories about the long slog of an eventual breakout success

I'd be more willing to accept his apology if he didn't then drop this absurdity. How much actual money do I pay for the dang car? I have my checkbook out, what do I put in this box?

Elon Musk is such a great entrepreneur, he could probably make a fortune selling cologne. They could call it, um, well, I'm sure they'll think of something.

This is correct. Without customer interaction, there are no good ideas, only lucky ideas and failed ideas.
