Google recently flagged my content-curation startup as "Pure Spam", even though it only takes small snippets from the original sources, is 100% human curated, and always links back to the true original source. Not only are the cur

I also wonder about "memory problems", but of the soft kind. I like to consuming "pages" of content at a time, spread between many tabs. Usually I read to the bottom of a "page", and then switch tabs. When I co

Europe (every country I've experienced) is obsessed with hiring based on online profiles (github, linkedin, websites, etc.) I have a feeling that they're going to learn about this the hard way.

You're probably right about the IP and databases not being completely trapped, in practice. What about non-competes though? Could I really start a directly-competing company immediately afterwards? After all, not all startups fail just

Instead of financial loss, I'm more afraid of losing the IP, company, everything I've made prior to my investors even joining, because the investors or their successors suddenly feel like kicking me out someday.

Loans -- NO! A common thing I see in most of Europe is that everyone assumes that loans can only be good. Few have seen how much they have destroyed people's lives as has been increasingly happening in the US. Add to that, most of Euro

That's how I think too. Find the low-hanging fruit of real problems, instead of competing for a rounding error on constrained and slightly artificial problems.

I would have guessed the exact opposite, that early-stage investors behave like binary classifiers who've been tuned to make a huge tradeoff of lower recall, in exchange for higher precision.

Is the 20% failure that rate that YC attributes directly to fights between cofounders actually much higher than it should be? Is this simply because YC is forcing people to match up to cross the eligibility threshold? I'm not sure they

No, that's a continuation of the Bold line, with their tiny terrible screens, instead of a continuation of the Torch line.

I do way too much web browsing (Opera with the text-wrapping setting) for the smaller screen of the 9900, I think, but I never tried it. Strangely, I can't get Opera to work as well on the HTC One, and don't much like the built-in

Yes, this is very accurate. In order to understand Blackberry, you have to understand who their users were. These people are all in NYC, and these different values won't be obvious to the SF startup crowd.

I would buy the shit out of Z10 with a keyboard+pointer. Until a new decent keyboard phone comes out, I'm sticking with my Torch 9800. Also have an HTC One and often use a SG4. Wow, awful. And I hate games.

Median would be a more appropriate metric than mean. Startups are a "hits business."
