Thanks. Other than Struts, are there any other web frameworks you would recommend?

I had the same experience when watching the Startup School video on the office hours when there was an innocent comment by PG regarding the mic and the female founders, and the whole audience laughed. I felt embarrassed at the immaturity of

I interpreted it as each subscriber can be billed on any day of the month as opposed to everyone billed on the first for example. This would help the cash flow.

On a related note, I think the argument has a strong correlation to the concept of any corporate entity. Replace cow, with employee; replace land with social impact. In both scenarios, people become more and more detached from the actual im

I can definitely vouch for this. I have a lot of exposure to medical back office staff, and I do a lot of trainings with them for my company's medical software. I'll no longer be shocked when I recommend that they just search the page for a

Makes me wonder if the "bubble" is over with all this talk of a double-dip recession and Groupon/SEC ordeal.

You can discuss the managerial points in this article, but as an aside: I hate articles like this. I used to work on wall street, and these sort of articles were rampant up until the burst: they glamorize financial "wizards", hedge funds, t

There was also a fair bit of typos and bad grammar which are never a good sign.

This is a compromise in security, and it should be seen in the context of the application/domain. I don't think it would fly in the medical or financial world.

I think this article expresses my doubts pretty well. Other than everyone being excited about a cool new technology, I don't understand why anyone would create their startup using node unless they have massive amounts of server calls per us

I think yc generally does best with consumer products where the founder could put himself int he place of the user. Industry products (good example is health care) has such a high barrier to understanding that someone who hasn't been in the

By corporate accounts I meant their existing mail/docs clients. Our company revolves around them, and it occurred to me (shockingly) that buzz would be a useful way for everyone to passively keep everyone posted on interesting stuff they're

Why hasn't Google released buzz for corporate accounts?

At a cursory look, this reminds me of the hedge fund-of-funds (right before the big bust) that marketed itself as only investing in funds that were managed by women.

Even if some of these name brand companies deserve these high valuations, there is enough stupid/speculative/me-too money that will follow and create a bubble.

And also for the fact that social networks have played such a large role.

Agreed, it actually makes me feel proud that this community is so well rounded...unlike a lot of other fields.

I think the biggest risk is a lot of these smaller start ups start getting astronomical investment amounts and pushed to go IPO pre-maturely. Mix in a crap load of bad ideas that get dumb-money going the IPO route, and things start looking

Interesting view on empathy, but he doesn't really take into account how much of our identity/empathy springs from there being an 'other', someone to oppose or be different from. Having a global empathy seems possible but I would argue that

On the discovery show, it seemed pretty loud too. An annoying buzzing sound...not sure where they're planning on deploying these, but noise pollution might be an issue, not to mention potential crash safety issues.

Let's not count the chickens before they hatch. The SEC is known for filing highly public cases just to get pressure off their a . This case might very well be discarded 6mo down the line and be reported in a footnote in the last page of t

The issue wasn't a disagreement in valuation, this is totally valid as you point out. The fraud allegation is because they were an advisor to their clients, and supposedly they misrepresented the valuation of products when then knew the val
