There's no such thing as a big name startup. Like my friend says, if you have an HR department, you are no longer a startup. You have started. You are up.

There's a way to cover your competitors and this isn't it. This just comes off as juvenile. "They didn't buy us even though we make more money!"

Groupon smells like a ponzi scheme ? Fine. Careful, Groupon could turn out to be a ponzi scheme ? Great. Groupon is straight-up a ponzi scheme ? That's pushing it, and would raise any lawyer's eyebrow. The problem here isn't so much abou

Just a friendly reminder to all the bloggers out there: You can be sued for these kinds of statements.

I could see this change working for other sites, but HN actually does have a sort of collective wisdom. I've also stopped looking at comments entirely. Before, I would sometimes click through to just read the comments. There was value the

This is a solid example of some old-school PR. I wouldn't recommend it to tech companies in general, though. In tech, it's a novelty that gets a few bonus points for being rare. But I think it can ultimately send the wrong message. The tech

I don't agree with GoDaddy's lowest common denominator branding strategy, but it seems to have served them well over the years. It's hard to argue with results. Make no mistake though, this is just as much a part of their branding strategy

Another big issue: Respect. If you don't respect the design process, or designers, don't ever expect to hire a good designer. If you've noticed that most designers are either not good, or flaky, chances are the problem is you and not the de

I have the same problem he had. Flux just doesn't work on my Ubuntu laptop. It seems to be able to preview correctly, it just never adjusts on its own like it's supposed to. Seems to be a common issue.

This reminds me of my favorite conspiracy theory, The Lost Cosmonauts, which proposes that Yuri Gagarin was the first man to survive space travel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Cosmonauts

I agree with this in spirit, but it's important to realize that a pitch and a press kit aren't the same thing. Having these things on-hand is great, and on your site even better (perhaps in a /press or /media URL). However, turning a pitch,

I think the subtext here is that they're trying to speed things up, while Facebook seems to be slowing down every other page I visit by two seconds or so.

Fail, fail, fail until you succeed; I really like Google's resolve when it comes to breaking into social networking. I guess I also like any serious challenge to Facebook. Can't wait for the details.

This alleged new one is more on-brand than the old one. It matches Google's simplicity better. I think it also gets away from the "evil robotic eye" feel, which can be an image problem for a ubiquitous tech company. That said, I like the ol
