The other big acquisition in the enterprise search space around that time (Fast, bought by Microsoft for $1.2 billion) had similar problems, kind of odd. http://techcrunch.com/2008/07/03/did-the-enron-of-norway-pul...

I think you're getting the wrong point. TechCrunch is not a good source for acquiring non-technical users. However it can be good for getting your name out to investors (being mentioned in TechCrunch is better then never being mentioned i

>Also, their downfall probably had more to do with a change in social perception that they couldn't do anything about. Everyone knows that Twinkies are "bad for you". My anecdotal experience says otherwise ;) http://jamespanderson.tumb

I'm not so sure about the advice with PayPal, according to this article PayPal only sends out the 1099-K to vendors making over $20k or 200 transactions http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/2012/the-paypal-1099-k-dont-fear...

I agree, while it's not an accurate representation of the majority of startups, it is a pretty accurate representation of some of the wanteprenuers that are "business people" with some money that no nothing about programming and want to get

Interesting that they encourage Twitter as a support channel, as a user I like Twitter for support, but as a company I absolutely loathe it. It's hard to get details and follow up, and if anything requires an explanation or sensitive detai

Sometimes quotes are sent yes, but not the rest of the article. Usually the quotes are not off but the facts of the actual story.

I've never had an article written about me or my products that didn't have some mistakes, I'm not sure why it's not standard practice to send a draft to the subject for fact checking...

Using our own oil last is more about military strategy and less about prices at the pump.

The article addresses that, domestic use is down. We already export quite a lot of refined oil as it is to countries that don't have refining capacity.

I think quality to some degree is subjective in programming though. A lot of coders these days focus on beauty or fancy data structures instead of writing clear, straight forward, efficient code.

We'd have to pretty much tear up the Constitution, but I like the idea. Why even have representatives, just let everyone vote on every issue directly via their Hacker News login?

If you are going to rig an election machine you'd do it on the backend, not on the front end where people can see an incorrect choice.

I think it's more of a final nail in the Flickr coffin. Pinterest is a completely different vertical (it's not even pictures necessarily, it's lots of random stuff on the web)

Meh it's just the typical argument Democrats always do to rile up the base. If it was going to be overturned it would have happened when Republicans had the Presidency, Congress, Senate AND Supreme Court in the early 2000s. It wasn't even

The title of the article was "Wiring a Generator to Your Home". The crucial part missing from the article was "How to Wire a Generator to Your Home", which he says an electrician should do. Just feels like blog spam to me.

I downvoted you because I dislike that attitude that is prevalent here... "You're not our preferred vendor so this is a cheap attempt at getting our business!". If you think this is spam, flag it as so, but it's annoying to me that the crow

I suspect because Natural Gas Lines can fail in a disaster situation as well, where you can "always" truck in diesel. If I'm ever building an insane data center I'd do both now!

That implies free forever, you want to commit to that? That's also what it says now when I first viewed that and yet I still went hunting for pricing. I would actually trust signing up for the free account more if I saw there was a paid o

So what? Annoying pages can get un-liked, and the problem will work itself out. But if someone is a "Fan" of the brand and wants to see all of their 15 posts in a day, it's frustrating they can't. The default in Facebook is always "Most P
