That's like the oldest scam that pretty much every single dating site uses. I'm surprised how TC is shocked...shocked to find that on a dating site. Reddit did the same thing starting out...the only difference is that they didn't try to tri

quite the contrary, pretty much all of the email newsletter companies charge based on the number of subscribers. a few do have the pay as you go plans that are based on # of emails sent...but they are all secondary products for them

damn straight...my sister bought a bed from some non-Ikea store and I helped assemble...and it took me a whole day. Seriously, when I opened that box, all I got was a bunch of pieces of wood and a bag full of screws. Meanwhile, my bed was b

Sucks to see you go, you've been one of the better posters on here(if not the best). But I know exactly where you are coming from...HN is just a huge time sink and really hurts your productivity...something new and interesting shows up ever

the problem is that most property owners aren't tech savvy. Most of them don't even have a webpage. And I'm not talking about the 1-2 unit owners...I'm talking about multi building companies with $600K in yearly revenue who haven't even bot

they already do that, which is why affiliates link go to great lengths to hide the fact that they are linking to an affiliate site

it's actually a 50/50 proposition...many affiliates who actually make sales(besides the few rare super affiliates), do so by simply ranking for the first page as "[brand] review, since that way they reach the customer just before they hit t

Your numbers seem to be a little off, unless we are talking about places that are closer to bronx or buildings that are falling apart. In midtown, that 1BR will run you ~$2,500 to rent and close to $1 million to buy. Maintenance fees should

I think the main problem with patents like this is that there is no accountability. If the person who granted such a ridiculous patent was fired for negligence, maybe it'd motivate them to be a little more strict

probably because he wants to make more than $1K from the auction. Nothing wrong with Flippa...and I know from time to time they have a big value site listed...but as a rule...it's almost always complete crap

I was going to use it, but then I found that a 4 star hotel was going to cost me a little bit less($16 less a day). And the hotel was in the center of London, while anything cheaper on airbnb was about 1-2 hours away by train. Granted, that

to me that sounds like a major case of a company cashing out before the bubble bursts. They don't need the money, and they definitely don't need the regulatory oversight that the IPO brings. They just raised close to a billion for a suppose

i wouldn't be surprised if Twitter wasn't the only one who got that letter. I'd bet Facebook and Google(Gmail) got it too.

I think it's very telling that something like 60% of YC companies have a SSL certificate...means they are most likely processing some financial transactions, so they charge their users directly it's also interesting that so many are using t

my guess is the fact that it has two dashes, which is almost always indicative of spammers.

personally I think that the 50 billion valuation is just a negotiation tactic. They start off at 50 billion, so that when they actually IPO at 25 billion, everyone will think they are getting an awesome deal that will double their money in

they are all more or less the same, just make sure you get one that goes inside the door frame that doesn't require drilling.

yeah same, i haven't logged in for a year at least...but it's still useful when you are on the other end trying to look someone else up. I don't think Facebook would be able to challenge LinkedIn without branching out to a new domain name..

workout at home just get a pull up bar and some weights and do it at home. You'll save like an extra hour in the process by not having to go to/from the gym.

Sex.com doesn't seem to be that lucrative of a domain name(not 13mm lucrative)...if it was, more companies would try to rank for the term sex. right now it's 1. Wikipedia Article 2. FBI Sex Offender Registry 3. Psychology article

i don't see how this would work since most guys use the shotgun approach, so none of the women would stop receiving messages. + most women get something like 200 messages a week..so even if the numbers went down, they'd still have plenty of
