brands would still be able to rank. it's just going to get a lot more harder to rank legitimateISPs.net

you could probably take it even further just by making it a lot more difficult to rank the other types of domains: 1. anything that's not a .com or .org(let's face it...if it's a .net, then it's most likely bought for seo optimization) 2. t

It comes down to math. Google has 25,000 employees, and let's say 100 different projects. They have a higher percentage of engineers than most companies, so you end up with quite a large # of people on every project. Sure the guys who made

yes but I'd like a bit more justification. i.e. for a camera all it says is high quality images and touchscreen controls. I'd like something where there is literally a giant essay justifying the reasons for buying X. (i.e. even though this

original contract was probably written on May 2009, and then it took them a few months to sign the thing.

no because chances are all your skills will go towards doing some mundane task. you heard of a land grab...well Google is in the process of doing a talent grab, hiring engineers left and right, so chances are unless you made a name for your

I think one of the problems is that there is just too many choices, something better would be where you just tell your budget, and are given the top 3 options in your budget.

weird that they are using a .org domain for a commercial service

with 1 million, you can afford to pay a thousand bucks to have someone translate that for you

no the power lies with the politicians...it's just too small of an issue for the general public to make it a deciding voting issue. Most people travel once a year(if that) so they don't really care about it

that seems a little excessive even at 63 million...I'd bet if you gave a YC startup $1 million, they'd be able to do the project in 1 year.

agreed, who'd be dumb enough to sign up for that...I could see doing that if that was required for actually using some app...but in this case it's just a way for them to spam your followers to promote their site

what moderation? Unverified IAMAs tend to be the I am a doctor etc...which can't be verified. The ones where it's a person, /iama/ already verifies those. Seems like this is a money grab...and at least reddit doesn't require that you allow

squatting on YC companies seems to be popular. For example a few weeks ago airnb.com sold for 5 grand on GoDaddy.

there are plenty of rich people who do awesome things...i.e. Bill Gates. But there are also plenty of rich people who only think of themselves and growing their bank accounts. It comes down to a person...if you'd care about others when you

pretty sure Netflix is already planning to do just that

frankly I don't see why they need to make it so big. Weight is one of the biggest problems for fuel efficiency, it takes a ton more juice to move a 4,000lb car vs a a 3,000lb car.

yeah it's ridiculous. i.e. you just used the term "software" on the internet, if we applied the patent law for software to that, you'd be found guilty of infringing. what I'd like to see is a community effort by programmers to create an arb

typical link bait...bait the bloggers, so they write a scathing response...in the process linking to Calcanis and Mahalo.

that's pretty much the main reason I don't use Groupon etc, if you are so desperate as to use a groupon to promote your business and get raped with all those fees, then chances are the quality of the service will be extremely subpar. that's

what do you need a $10K apartment in NYC for? That's pretty much penthouse territory. I mean I can see if you are already making millions...but if you are just a startup that should be a big red flag to investors.

no this is different...with your competition you are more or less on a level playing field. With Google, they get to always place their stuff before you. which means on the back end much lower traffic for the companies, which in turn drives

more warning for anyone in a lucrative space on the web...Google will eventually come for you. It happened to mortgage rates companies, it happened to flights, and eventually given enough it'll happen to any service that acts as a broker/af

fake it till you make it in a B2B setting doesn't really work. People tend to want to see a working product before they sign up at $10K a month

It's kinda sad that we need the waiter rule...is it too much to ask for people to treat others nicely?

I recommend reading up on the MMM company. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMM_%28Ponzi_scheme_company%29 there is also a Russian movie called PiraMMMida that came out a few months ago, which is the fictionized version of history. Now that m

middle class is something like $40K family income...so you are more than double that.
