I'd give the guy the benefit of the doubt. He's been running this joint for a while now, and I bet he actually is making decisions based on metrics he has. Though I agree that conversions from pizza to indian food is probably pretty low,

I work at Parse.ly, who's office is literally right next door to these pizza shops. Last week, when they changed their prices, I asked the owner of the Indian shop how low he'd go, and he said two very interesting things: 1. He hates two br

If you're speaking with investors, and are good about networking with funded startups chances are you can get office space for free for several months. Regarding rent, you'll be paying a lot, and finding an apartment in NYC is a grueling pr

Jesus, it seems like everything in a startup is like dating. Finding a co-founder is like dating. Finding an investor is like dating. Being an entrepreneur is like dating. Now, Freemium Models? I'm kinda sick of the dating analogy persona

I do live (fort greene) and work (manhattan) in NYC. You should never use broker's though, they're a waste of money. It does take a little work to find a good deal, but you definitely can if you look early enough. Overall, I would agree.

Again, not true. Have you lived in Astoria (N train to Manhattan in half hour), Fort Greene (so many choices and 15 min to manhattan), Jersey City (path train to manhattan in less than half hour). Brooklyn Heights is a terrible example. I

VCs/Angels in NYC(northeast as well) are just not in the same investing environment as the West Coast. And it's solely because this area is just not as mature as there. There are the investors that are smart and are willing to take the risk

Not true, you can find cheap places to live, if you're willing to live outside Manhattan. Jersey City, Queens, BK, are all viable options for the scrappy founder.

A more quantitative look at this same thing. Basically saying that people pick what interests them. This is pretty technical, but by some pretty smart people: http://home.uchicago.edu/~jmshapir/bias.pdf And, my own experiment with media i

What type of meditation? How often is semi-regularly? I went on a green tea stint for a couple years. I bought some really expensive green tea also, which tasted delicious and felt wonderful. The problem though, was that I began drinking

I am confused. Why are you asking people what to do with your money when we know nothing about you? Do you want to just hold on to this money and live off the interest? Do you want to make more money by working? Would you like to invest in

I'm not so sure that a CEO/Founder needs to know code, but I do think that a Founder of a startup company in the software realm should understand where programmers are coming from. This post seems to be written from the perspective that if

Google Reader. I try to keep my feeds clean, skimming over headlines and marking content I do not want to read as read. Then, I actually read the rest of the posts.

I have also been looking for something similar to what you are mentioning, but have yet to find anything. Having the ability to choose between groups to share with seems easy enough. The delicious method described above would work, but I b

100K for 30 years, is not as much as you would think. The problem with teaching right now, is that there is not a concrete way to have really great teachers shine. In enterprise, employees that would perform really well would be accordingl
