It seems like it would help the team to monetize a soon-to-be defunct product, and help their user base by providing continuity and updates beyond maintenance. I'd assume that any team geting acqui-hired probably has some traction in their

Why don't you just go on craigslist and buy a used last generation air?

How is it bragging to say that they didn't raise the round? If you care about what's going on inside the mind of a founder who choses NOT to raise a round, this post would be interesting to you.

If this is true, then he (Craig Newmark) really needs to read the innovator's dilemma ( http://www.amazon.com/The-Innovators-Dilemma-Revolutionary-B... ). TLDR: If you allow yourself to become a prisoner to your success, you're actually mak

I agree - at first it was novel and interesting that some companies would give you a puzzle to solve. As I've gotten older, and as my time has increased in value, I'm not as interested in solving a problem just because someone gives it to m

I'm also an iOS dev, and I also love developing iOS apps, but you have to realize - you are a pawn in their game, where they stand between you and potential income.

After a user has seen the message and navigates to another site, anyone can use the back button to see the unmasked message. I like it though - maybe you can turn it into something that allows you to pass notes to coworkers at work?

I think that part of the idea is that reading a message, replying to a message & all other things that you do with mail can be considered as "tasks".

I think this would actually work better as a quick reference for people who are already coders - sometimes you just need to look stuff up. Target Stack Overflow rather than Stanford.

Ok - so we know there's demand from top-level talent. Who's going to make it into a platform?

AFAIK they didn't do anything illegal, and it wasn't their job to care - it was their job to comply with takedown notices, which it seems like they did. However, the real reason HN cares about MegaUpload is fear that heavy-handed law enforc

It depends on how and why you watch tv. If I didn't watch tv, I probably wouldn't have gotten into Stanford.

I think a lot of the replies to my post are missing the point: "harm" isn't as obvious as you think it is, and pain can be inflicted by creating demand that must go unfulfilled.

"first world problems" do matter. As someone from a third world country, I have a keen sense of how much is conveyed and how much is learned from "silly" tv shows. You may not notice it yourself, but they define a large part of culture. Und

Death and physical injury aren't the only ways someone can be harmed. Trust me - if you're the only kid in highscool without cable who isn't able to talk about that show from last night, you miss opportunities to bond. Those missed bonds ar

I think it'd be interesting if everyone did this with their failed side projects, at that point when they realize there's no value in continuing down their path. Bravo guys.

it does because I'm fairly sure they aren't deduping at the file level - which means they're doing significant introspection into exactly how different copies of the same file are. This is why dropbox is so fast - they only need to send uni

I think it's worse that dropbox dedupes files, which means that they(dropbox) already have infrastructure that could seriously combat their use in infringement. I do wonder how this plays into the whole Swizz Beats is CEO news.

While I agree with the overall idea in principle, I think you'll find that what you've done is to create a startup with infinite (at least until you die/give up) runway. I think you've covered why it's a good idea, but I wanted to add a war

Amazon's ability to forgo short-term profits and look towards the long term is their biggest weapon. Very few companies are able to act on threats far enough into the future to fight against Amazon's strategies at a time when defeating thos

It would be awesome if the system gave a rating (read:score) based on how many revisions someone puts into a document, so people have an idea of how hard they worked on it.

And right now, I think we're going through the human revolution, where we use applications to make humans be better, and do better, and everything is centered around the human experience.
