>$60K were simply extorted from a person in pain. Or more specifically from all of us. The author only paid $2400. The whole system is designed to be opaque and non-competitive so they can just bill insurance companies for whatever.

Based on the article, assuming the $80 mil in savings was over 1 year, that means the average Zynga employee costs $153k per year.

I just got my invite to order and his comment about it being dangerous while driving is a non-starter...that's the main reason I'd find this useful (while cycling)

My only problem with vague "X sold Y" stories that have no dollar amounts is often it's not a success story. I've seen TechCrunch report on sales of companies where literally no money was exchanged and there was no upside for the acquirer

The problem with user generated pricing is there is no supply/demand, so the user will basically pick the lowest price they feel non-guilty about, which is usually a buck or so. Something I always thought would be interesting is a floating

They did get paid a salary, benefits, etc... they took almost none of the risk that would be worth a higher reward

If Franklin was wrong about lightning rods, maybe it would have burned down your house. He also experimented with dieting etc... The point is that someone can study a lot on a topic and be more informed then someone who has gone to school

And Benjamin Franklin was a printer, but he still invented the lighting rod and bi-focals.

"According to CNET, the law originally meant to prevent landlords from turning residential properties into hotels." Which is what AirBnB is essentially?

I chose my school partly because I followed the basketball team as a kid. It's free marketing. I never heard of half of the small division III schools in my area, but all of the big state schools were on my radar because of sports.

The best part is you can make up new things to endorse them in! I've endorsed people for "Lunch" and "Alcoholism" as a joke.

I remember actually calling Yahoo about something (I think web hosting?) I remember I thought that was a huge problem with Google (and still do) that there is no way to call them.

I think all of these dialects are being lost and becoming the "TV/Movie" way of pronouncing things. IE, most people in Pittsburgh sound like most people in Chicago or Los Angeles (which all sound like the dialect we hear on TV), but you ge

I agree, but it's pretty rare to have individual performance based bonuses unfortunately. It also makes people feel entitled, so they will never go above and beyond without the bonus in the future.

If I told you there was a new form of transport that would allow travel over great distances without having to maintain a horse or use gas, it would be revolutionary right? I can't help but wish the bicycle had a longer time period between

From the article it sounds like this may have as much been Netflix fault as Warner Bros. It isn't ideal for any one company to have exclusive access: "Netflix contacted Mashable to state that it prefers to license TV shows and movies “on a

The creator made (presumably) a couple of million, and has changed the way we collaborate on documents, I'd love to have that kind of success.

This is the worst part IMO, in theory it's great that everyone can have the freedom to do what they want, but the reality is most people don't have the skills, the right idea, etc... to make a successful startup and would have been better o

Less then 1% is pretty typical when you consider an option pool is 10-20% at the most. With 20 employees, I'd bet only a quarter of the options at most have been doled out since you usually save the big grants for exec hires.

Couldn't that apply in many criminal cases? If we didn't have to read a drug dealer his rights, and could use torture we might be able to get actionable intelligence on their cartel, or a child molestors network, etc...

I don't understand what people think is wrong with the usual criminal justice system. If we can't convict someone of 3 murders, 140 attempted murders, destruction of property, using an explosive, etc... without resorting to wacky terrorism
