I hate when artists try to sell me on some philosophical message. I could care less what some guy high on coke who has never demonstrated his analytical ability has to say. Yeah I'm one of those guys who listens because he appreciates music

Yes those are a good example of (something like) concerts being the best business model for a group of artists now. I just find it funny how we all have witnessed the success of so many different business models, and then for someone to say

Almost any type of music where vocals are not the focus can today be created through computers. More than people realize already is today. I am thinking of instrumental music such as classical, of course electronica of all types, even a bit

The TC article title clearly says that artists should not be compensated for recordings. No context, that's the title and therefore the overall message that Arrington wants us to take away. What most of the article says is that the artists

I'd say that the breast cancer foundation was creating most of the value... 2nd, I don't see how you can call this innovative since there are a million things you can buy for which the proceeds go to charity. But if you want to give it to t

Just trying to speculate as to what the most important aspects were. History is too often rewritten later by writers who didn't understand why something was popular at the time that it was actually taking off. So they just pick whatever gla

You find restaurants similar to tech startups?

Not very dissimilar?

...maybe it's just the price and size. I'm sure people wouldn't stop buying it if it got more features.

I agree with the quoted guy in many ways. Perhaps we should congratulate him on how well he foresaw the difficulty in adapting these services to the web. And the internet has made physical shopping obsolete? Not April 1st yet... I'm sure th

I would like to see a large survey of 25 year old hackers from around the country who would like to start a startup but decided against it, or just couldn't. It is nice to believe that it's just lack of inspiration, or misconceptions about

I am fooling around with the first option you mention, but I never see any apps that do this(?), so it doesn't quite seem right. The second idea is feeling like making a car without breaks for simplicity in this case...

That depends entirely on whether the failure was worth the risk and amount that was actually learned. I can see this often not being the case.

by tim2 19y ago
What? Why is it impossible for the risk to be negligable?

What is so much more fulfilling about startups that is unlikely to be attained elsewhere?

That's not how it really works, when it works.

So is the approach here suggesting to lay everything out at once and so the user can feel what the interface 'affords' him before he clicks anything, or should an interface be broken down into very simple steps that the user can only see on

Making an open source project into a startup seems like a very long road. I don't know this particular area (finance messaging) though.

Yes, this is far, far more severe than any credit card debt that that a student could possibly get into. Related to this, I know several people who had to drop out of school recently because they hadn't built up credit and didn't have paren

Actually, when the article says: > people who are chronically sleep deprived, like people who've had too much to drink, often have no sense of their limitations. What it means is that people don't realize the degree to which they are

Gaining global adoption is NOT about just translating some stuff. That's probably a very distant third in what matters for global adoption.

Thanks, I'll put in lots of really good selections before the full launch. This won't be anything like what they make you listen to on the radio!
