Pokémon is also a high volume business but is reaching 30 years in 2026. Keeping alive a trend for so long is impressive. Jean-Claude Biver (watch personality) famously said: « people want exclusivity, so you must always keep the customer h

I see them doing with the Internet industry what they have done with the Financial industry. - What are they doing: force smaller companies to die or be bought by bigger ones. - How are they doing that: They keep adding regulation so that f

Thank you! Actually, they could also take this strategy to protect kids from adult/violent/sensitive content. I suspect their strategy is to replicate, with Internet, what they have done with the Financial industry. So it should n

As a reminder, Whatsapp had *35* engineers for 450M users at the time of its acquisition by FB (2014). It had *50* engineers for 900M users (2015). https://www.wired.com/2015/09/whatsapp-serves-900-million-us... .

Forget that hypster hype. The problem is not the position but the length working in the same position. Whatever position. If you stand the whole day, your legs will suffer (ask people working in shops); in the long run you will have "heavy

The real dev hates Internet Explorer (especially 6) because of all the designers who: - have no clue what KISS means - invent CSS, DOM and JS hacks - sum a collection of hacks in their code - do not read the technical papers about their env

(No offense) All the answers make no sense. How can you advise a country with so few information about the start-up? Dimensions to assess that would totally change the selected country: - A start-up in which business domain? - What will you

Has the IE haters understood that Chrome is the biggest threat to Firefox and not IE? IE will still be deployed in Fortune 500 companies for years because Microsoft work closely with them. Chrome has all I need: speed and addons. All the gr

Bad idea. As a classified ad owner (2nd largest in my country), doing so would only give a chance to a newcomer. The problem is to charge for the first penny... http://redeye.firstround.com/2007/03/the_first_penny.html
