+1. I was running an FTP server on one of the few multi-honed T3 connections (late 90's) in our city. OTH sent me a ton of traffic, which also included RIAA scouts. I almost lost my job after they sent a C&D to our IT department; I

You are entitled to that opinion. I agree that Y Combinator is the best, especially for those that are really hungry to win and can make the most out of its unstructured program. YC gives you access to the best. However, I don't believ

As a Techstars graduate, to say "the 2nd best accelerator might as well be the worse" is an inconsiderate hyperbole. Especially if your only perspective is Y Combinator. Relocating to SF is awesome if that fits your bill or your o

$50MM isn't big enough. It just doesn't support most funds' basic economics. It's nothing personal about you or your idea. Furthermore, why would you want to raise money if your market cap is $50MM? If you were to raise,

It could be a compliment for Swift but seems like an acquihire. Distributed db startups are maturing, market is getting crowded. Yes, Apple is a heavy user of Cassandra last time I checked. Still a success for the team and should be celebra

As an Austinite, startup guy, gun owner, and libertarian... his demeanor is going to make the already-difficult fight, that much harder. Be bold but be tactful about it.

I don't endorse a blatant rip off of the UI and the assets. You can do better than that. Otherwise, good job on the development effort and open source initiative.

A .7" increase in size throws everything out the window? Just don't get the iPhone 6 Plus.

So being an adventurer / go-getter / hero is walking down a concrete sidewalk admiring your surroundings through the lens of an augmented iPhone? I think that's disingenuous marketing to people like myself, and I'd focus

Instead of writing "Christ", you should consider posting an email as if you were the one newly responsible for a $364B company and a reduction in 18,000 jobs. I'd be curious to see other people's management style from th

Wow. You are giving waaaayyy to much credit to the responsiveness of humans. Roughly 1 in 4 drivers have a statistically significant amount of alcohol in their blood system. Lets also not forget distractions like cell phones, finding/s

I'm not advocating being politically correct because I enjoy it. My commentary is an alternative perspective based on what I've experienced working at an ad agency (there were many times we pitched extremely offensive ideas), and

Not exactly original. And depending on who's looking at the material, it could be considered offensive. If you get away with it, great but some companies like USAA require all employees and contractors pass drug tests so suggesting the

Rock+Health and Startup Health are awesome launch pads for health startups. I'm happy that the health-focused accelerators are gaining more attention (in the industry). A big challenge for most accelerators (ycom / techstars &#x2

Does anyone else feel like this is extremely suspicious (classic misdirection) given the negativity surrounding the moderation of Snowden's latest leak?

Thanks for pointing this out. Many people think we're a "yeehaw" state, but we have more wind farms than California to the tune of 2x more [1] thanks to oil money. I guess you can say cowboys like their texas tea, lower taxes

There is a difference between politicians that work for the people, and career politicians that work for themselves.

Wholly disagree, proximity of like-minded individuals is the essence of the bay area and why it's so unique. "Our startup, Kip Solutions, is a social media consulting firm for social causes." With all due respect, if you were pitching your

Congrats to the Parse team!! As a customer, not necessarily happy about this. I don't like Doug Purdy's quote, "We don’t intend to change this." We use Parse and love it. I really hope they maintain some autonomy as to not get sucked into

The consumer web is often a culture of 'pop hits' and lots of media; hence the justin bieber-esque love affair the Valley has for said entrepreneurs. So, yes -- I do believe that people in their 20-30's are better at identifying these fads
