Most != everyone Seriously, requiring sign up via accounts on sites like facebook, linkedin etc is a really stupid idea. Startups (I'm looking at you quora!) need to stop this bullshit. Edit: Looks like quora now allows email sign ups. Go

Patrick, considering your chops (I think anyone who's read your posts on HN for a while will agree that you're in the '10x programmer' range), is there a reason why you won't launch a full fledged startup? Maybe even try out for HN? BCC is

pg's response to "what if google does it?" - That's one of the canonical dumb investor questions. We try not to ask those. Google could blow most startups out of the water if they chose to focus on building exactly the same thing. What pro

avoid the random chance that a civil jury would decide based on emotion rather than merit That's precisely my point. In theory, crawford is right in claiming that 'nobody owns an idea'. But in practice, the OP should protect his ass.

Based on this, the Winklevoss twins should have lost their lawsuit against Zuckerburg no?

You already have the technical aspect down. So disband the project, find a better co-founder and simply restart the same thing anew. You can be up and running in a fraction of the time. Basically, do what Arrington did with Calacanis (with

According to Calacanis, it's $15M-$30M. See the 6th and 7th tweets here - http://www.businessinsider.com/calacanis-arrington-techcrunc...

To be fair, Dave would reply with a similar defensive, arrogant, immature rant if you said 'hello' to him. That's just his style, and he seems to get off on it.

The problem with Arrington's whining is the lack of reciprocity. They scream bloody murder when their reporting is 'attacked' by PR, but what about the multiple instances prior to this when their reporting really was inaccurate? Can you thi

No matter how damning the evidence is, and it really is damning, Arrington still comes off like a right idiot for not having formal contracts in place that clearly outline who owns what from the beginning. Seriously, he had to resort to sho
