I think you're missing his main point, which was he set it to spend "evenly throughout the day" and it was all gone in one minute.

Ironically, the search has a little bug. There's no where to do a two word phrase search, so if i do 'fried chicken' or "fried chicken" I get chicken fried steak as the number one result. Seems like the refinements show that it also searc

"Right now, both the cent and nickle ($0.01 and $0.05 coins) cost more to make than their face values. If they kill pennies today, then nickles are certain to be next." I guess the solution is to get away from physical currency altogether,

It's not really a Facebook killer IMO. I like Facebook because it's just my friends (since it requires a two way confirmation). It more seems to fill a gap between public and private friendships. So most likely it will just be yet anothe

He also invested in Diaspora, I think he wants to avoid the mistakes a lot of companies make when they are in the lead, and just sit on his laurels.

I've always wondered if these really work. We all use these EULAs and TOS that essentially say "you can't sue us for anything no matter what!" but I have a feeling that kind of thing doesn't actually hold up in court.

So presumably you don't take antibiotics, insulin, an inhaler, use any reproductive aids etc... for the same logic?

I was speaking as a former government worker who loved his job. I'm not trying to put down government workers, it's just a fact that unless you are in something "flashy" like the FBI or CIA most people in the USA think you are not very amb

And yet, perhaps because of the reasons mentioned, having a Government job is in many ways an embarrassment in this country.

I've gone cable free for two years thanks largely in part to Netflix (and Xbox 360 for my ESPN3 stream). Cable was one thing that should have been getting cheaper over the years, but instead kept getting more expensive. Like Blockbuster b

Microsoft definitely has a lot of the "hey try this new thing" going on, but the key difference is I don't have to painfully upgrade all of my ASP.NET 2.0 applications when ASP.NET 3.0 or 3.5 comes out. Sure those support new features, but

I guess that's kind of what it is saying? An Ice Age would be about as bad for civilization as we know it as the ice caps melting (just in different ways), in a time of global cooling, I suppose increased CO2 would keep the Earth warmer th

It seems like a tough line, and I sympathize with both sides. Either you can go the Microsoft route and be backwards compatible til the end of time (which is great for devs, but causes baggage) or you can embrace change while the community

I was kind of hoping they bought it so they could sue Apple for the name "Versions" for their new version control feature.

In 1997, the lack of widely available high speed Internet was probably the biggest thing preventing this.

That's the whole point, this series of articles isn't an unbiased documentary about acquisitions. 37Signals likes to "prove" that they are right with articles about their way of doing things. It wouldn't shock me at all if one day they so

Are they officially marketing it yet? The only reason I've even heard about it was the funding.

I don't understand why I'd need to online ordering component when they say it only takes 1 minute to make one. Skipping payment is nice I guess, but lots of places already let you do this with fax ahead orders.

It's at the intersection of a lot of things that people here find interesting. It's potentially a way to make money (some say ponzi scheme), it has a tech component, there's a anti-government component, etc... so I do believe a lot of peopl

The biggest problem I see with joining a startup after graduation is more often then not, Startups don't use any kind of best practices, as they just want to Get Things Done(tm). It's not uncommon to run into a startup that doesn't use sour

This is a really great idea! I could definitely see myself using this when traveling as hotels are not always the best place to work from. Great for startups too that only need office space occasionally.

I'd be interested in the valuations based on traditional things such as revenue, assets, cash on hand etc... not that these things necessarily matter to Y Combinator as a company making $0 that is bought for $1 billion is still significant,
