Nice job! This is really slick. Have you considered other pricing models? One approach that comes to mind: - Allow the user to use the full tool without ever having to sign-up. - Charge $3-5 for them to download it. Sign-up optional. - To p

Thanks for sharing. Adding another podcast anecdote here — one that made me chuckle — from Scott Belsky in his interview on Tim Ferriss' podcast: > I remember my father, as an orthopedic surgeon, when he was a resident, he was worki

I don't think it's fair to use that one small piece of Netflix lore as the counter example to the point of the article. I'd categorize Reed Hastings as having one of the more long-term views/strategies in tech and busine

No. If you read the comment you'll see that I'm not proposing that the slow drivers speed up -- but just that they get out of the passing lane. In fact, to your point about motorcycle safety, I'd encourage them to maintain th

I've felt the same way about "slow as hell left lane campers" for years and thought that maybe — if states never did anything to fix it — there might be a commercial solution to fixing this. The idea I came up with awhile ago

I love the GIF in the article and how it was copyrighted in 2000 about an event that would happen in 2017. I'm a reader/follower of N. N. Taleb and agree with him about how difficult it is to predict future events. And meanwhile,

The video you linked to was interesting - thanks for sharing - but I didn't follow how that's related at all to self-driving cars driving around looking for parking. The video seems like more an example of what happens when indivi

I read GP's last paragraph as distinguishing between the use of "disabled people" vs. "people with disabilities," rather than between the use of "disabled" (or words with the same root) vs. other words. My

One obvious exception is the very VC whose blog post you're commenting on. Fred seems to have the same qualities of "The Product VC," but has developed them despite not having exited a company before becoming a VC.

Side note: Two weeks ago, a friend told me that dogs turn their bodies to poop in a north-south axis. I couldn't believe it and couldn't believe that I hadn't noticed before. So this was a timely read. The article begged the

Building out both sides of a two-sided market is extremely hard. While this decentralized system might be appealing to drivers, Uber and Lyft have created such a great experience for riders, that I don't see a compelling reason for rid

This stood out to me, too. On the one hand, hearing him say it is a little unnerving. On the other, it's oddly comforting to know that he truly believes we're in a race against the clock to save civilization, and that someone like

The book Drive, by Daniel Pink, does a good job of explaining the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. I recommend the book regardless, but especially if this topic is intriguing to you.

> I doubt Google wants to be reliant on a third-party company with reputation problems to introduce these cars to the world. This is a great point that may not be getting enough play in this conversation. You could easily imagine Larry b

There's something funny (ironic?) in the fact that you consistently misspell the name of one of your Golden Goose countries (Colombia). I don't meant to sound like I'm sitting on a high-horse —- in fact I enjoyed reading your

To add to the anxiety that some men are probably feeling about this app, Lulu obnoxiously uses a homepage photo in which the women look like they're acting at best mischievous and at worst downright evil. Personally, the app does not cause

I was surprised to go through these comments (including with a command-F) and not find mention of the recent news of the Uber driver charged with raping a customer. While that story was pretty damaging to Uber, it was equally--if not more—-

I agree. Ideas are a dime-a-dozen, especially ideas that are the type to languish on a shelf indefinitely. Startups are all about execution. It's with this in mind that I find the OP's proposition interesting. In my opinion, the more import

I agree. I like the section in The Lean Startup on the related idea of the 'concierge MVP', whereby you're serving your initial customers very manually to really understand their needs before investing heavily in automated systems. The exam

Out of curiosity, where does all the used shrink wrap go when winter is over? I'm picturing a whole house's worth of plastic wrap ending up in a landfill or floating its way out to trash island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and it mak

For anyone else wondering what "mofo" is (see the article's screenshot of the daily push notification), its full name, Mofongo, shows up here: https://www.munchery.com/menus/mofo-with-shrimp-marinara-sau... It sounds pretty good, too. The

I've seen a lot of these articles about the effectiveness of facebook ads in the months leading up to - and now in the days following - the ipo. The recent ones sometimes come across as articles by people who are short the stock, trying to

This situation presents an interesting contrast with that of Instagram. Here you have a site generating revenue - and more importantly profit - that is on sale for 0.00048 the sale price of Instagram... and then gets absolutely skewered in
