If the web had proper time to incubate without the pressures of the dotcom craze, I suspect it would have developed in a much more controlled, and systematic way. As we know, development was very chaotic and competitive. I do think we will

Whether its a top-down or bottom-up approach, the end goal is the same, right? Corral everybody into a Google universe, where Google (and its customers) can more effectively target you with tailored information (ads, etc) by tracking your

Your Honda versus Acura muddies the comparison. Acura is a luxury brand. The consumer gets clear value-add through additional comfort, improved build quality, better customer service, etc. The differentiation is clear. The target custom

That's true with differentiated products. Besides price, what is the differentiation of Google's service over AWS?

So my one year old phone will never see it. I am so tired of the one year obsolescence cycle of Android phones.

You know perfectly well that Apple handles this issue much better than the Android stakeholders. And I am an Android user.

So McDonalds is going to sell their customer data to insurance companies so that insurance companies can raise premiums on McDonalds customers? While I agree that the data sharing has gotten way out of hand in the pursuit of profits, only t

Bad example. China benefits from a strong US economy. At most, I would expect China to continue to focus on electronic warfare, and not attempt to undermine their largest customer without provocation.

Just because it hadn't been knowingly done before now, doesn't mean it wasn't already a threat from state sponsors (or others). This was just a step towards an end that we all could foresee, be it from China, Russia, the U.S., or others.

Maybe its because the YC founders are not representative of HN's readers. If so, why that's the case could make for interesting discussion.

Wow. That is very disappointing. The one reason why I stayed with my T-Mobile service was the free hotspot feature of my htc sensation 4g. I certainly won't be upgrading to its now, and will likely leave T-Mobile when my deal ends. Sure

Your reasons, while important and meaningful from a developers perspective, mean little to the consumer choosing between a native app and a mobile web app. What's in it for the consumer?

The technology provides an impressive first impression. With that said, I would appreciate it if somebody can help me understand how this doesn't lead to "two-dimensional" vendor lock-in (hosting and proprietary framework). From my first

I am in southern California, and perhaps the suburbs here are more concentrated than suburbs elsewhere. I have three pharmacies, three grocery stores, and a Walmart all within 10 minutes. It does require taking a car, though.

Having lived in suburban communities all of my life, I have never lived further than 10 minutes away from a CVS type of store. Perhaps your experience is more rural than suburban?

I don't think I agree that slower growth due to closing stores necessarily leads investors to sell the stock. A typical metric in retail is same-store-sales. If you close a BB store that is in close proximity to another BB store, its poss

Already said (far) below in this post, but the work on the part of the technical team to produce an MVP is often front-loaded, which means that the technical person (team) assumes most of the initial execution risk. Equity distribution sho

The problem is that, often times, much of the technical work is front-loaded, leaving most of the initial risk disproportionately in the technical person's lap. It's only after an MVP is built that the business side of the operation has to

I have one. I can't imagine any modern, budget laptop performing worse than a chrome book. As a last resort, I tried it with my 6 year old son, and he said it was too slow. It now sits in a pile of books.
