This fails to take into account that youtube owns their audience online. If a someone bought 20 seconds on a tv channel they would have to pay the TV channel. There is also massive infrastructure costs around streaming video. Youtube has no

Yahoo's fantasy football was super popular, why was no effort put in to make a competing product to Draft King? Tumblr acquisition was not a good one. It was too web oriented and users were moving more to mobile. It takes a long time t

Why not give YC a 7% ownership of the IP and YC the other 93%. That would definitely drive the more entrepreneurial scientists to work there and also allow YC to monetize products out it's own research. I have some ideas on technologie

This is an example of building a simple product that fulfills a market need. Financial regulations are complex and harsh, but the technology is simple. Normal messengers would not be valued at such an amount or compete with apps like whatsa

Asana is great but a no better tool than Trello or wunderlist. The todo list, project management space is too crowded and the differing methodology for team management makes it hard for any system with opinion to really get a large market s

I would love to see a vector based lossless format for Anime. There is no reason to pass a large 4k file for animations and if reduced to vectors, you can scale up infinitely with great resolution.

There is no better way to reform a man than to give him a purpose. Firefighting and other volunteer services are definitely a good way to go.

Is there a safety factor in Oakland? From what I understand, there are way higher crime in Oakland compared to San Francisco which explains the price differential in square feet.

This is good for people used to sql but I personally find the way that IndexDB stores data to be superior. You just have to get used to the NoSQL way of persisting objects. Making one technology look like another is never efficient for an a

Mac got this product completely wrong. We needed a tablet that runs Mac OS that we can use for work not a bigger iOS form factor. One of the worst product decision I've seen Apple make.

I don't think people choses to build a business of a certain size. It's more like people try to build a successful business, and it settles into it's natural size. Planning your company size is not what I did as entrepreneur,

Curious to hear if this is actually a significant stat. It seems simple to run a app company with only 3-4 technology person if you have a scalable technical structure. With a customer facing transaction based service like Uber this would b

The pricing seems crazy high. At that cost, it's worth a programmer's cost to write a custom listener for 2 weeks to a month and then write it to a cheap db like google cloud storage. I also don't care about performance monit
