seizing a domain is like seizing your cellphone # and saying it's ok because someone can still contact you using your email address(that forwards to your phone)...which they don't know

i didn't find it that useful, since mine didn't change at all. but I think it might still have some merit for those with less than 200-500 points, so that they'll try to give better comments

Several other domains also appear to have been seized including 2009jerseys.com, nfljerseysupply.com, throwbackguy.com, cartoon77.com, lifetimereplicas.com, handbag9.com, handbagcom.com and dvdprostore.com i don't see wh

no real point in calling it a YC reject, since they were rejected for a completely different idea

seems like 1 million is the number everyone goes with...so if someone sees a very promising startup at demo day, would be a good number to offer.

i feel like the basic plan is not that good of a deal...after all you offer it just for adding a badge on the site: http://mixpanel.com/free/

"Shop More, Pay Less! Use a Promotional Codes every time you Buy Online." is that an intentional mistake for SEO purposes?

i didn't say too good to be real, i said they look fake. 1-it says you have 20K users, but the powersellers are all in the 18-20K range...and a random look at a dozen profiles before that yielded nothing. 2-items for sale, the front page it

If it works, it means you can reinvest your profit to live up to your claimed size. In regards to other employees, yes it can cause some problems, but I doubt it'd be that much...fake it till you make it is a pretty popular phrase, so peopl

you gotta fake it till you make it, otherwise you are just shooting yourself in the foot. Being big is validation for most people, they figure if you got big, then you must have something to offer, and at the very least you won't scam them.

many people are blinded to what is going on...as long as they are more or less secure themselves, they don't care about what happens to all those other people...after all if the gov't is doing it to them, they must have done something bad.

i notice that their $1 billion dollar valuation is based entirely on things in the game sector. and $100 million dollar valuation for an iPad app seems crazy...ditto for the $100 million valuation for the sibblingz...I dunno their numbers,

I don't think it's that. I think they realize that if someone wanted the clean experience, they'd be using Facebook. So maybe the reason they are sticking around on myspace is the current version. So they don't want to eliminate their curre

realizing that you have a problem is the first step. you just need to get started doing something, once you are actually doing instead of dreaming, you won't have the free time to waste on distractions

that's the big thing? I thought his newsletter was going to be long researched articles, actual investigative journalism that goes beyond the generic coverage you see elsewhere...not just announcements that so and so company has launched...

i think it's probably due to the fact that you get as much out of YC as you put into it. If you need help they'll give it to you...they have those kinds of connections. So the only thing it comes down to is money, and it's pointless to comp

those prices seem kinda low my sister is moving to nyc at the end of the month, and all the places she found were 2-3K/mo...she'll most likely go with this one place that's $1,250/mo with a roommate for a 2bdr apartment. Granted she is set

it's a .co domain, so it has to abide by Colombian laws, say you start Google on a .co domain, then 10 years later there is a coup, and the new regime decides to take over your domain name

a) .com is where all users go by default. "Go check out ycombinator" means to you that it's a .com b) .com has a ton more value for search engines...once again the same idea...if you have a .com, then you are the real business...if you have

reddit's retaliation might be a slap on the wrist. 4chan's retaliation would involve ripping your head off and taking a dump. reddit is a lot more self controlled, 4 chaners fuck with people just because they can, reddit only tends to screw

this is a dick move, people will search for domains, see that an awesome domain is available...then buy it before realizing that they bought the crappy .co version

i attribute that description to 4chan...reddit is kinda meh by comparison

i doubt it's that complicated, they have full control of the mailservers, I bet the person just didn't think leaking the information was that big of a deal.

i think these numbers are kinda pointless since there is so much buzz for it. Give it 2-3 months and we'll see if people actually switch to it permanently

Fun fact, defense spending was always criticized and cuts were always proposed, even at the height of cold war. But since 9/11, it's never considered because proposing something like that would label you as soft on terror.

from what I understand, the reason Feingold lost, was because Johnson outspent him something like 10 to 1, mostly from the 8-9 million he donated to his own campaign. This is mostly from seeing reddit headlines, so that may very well be bs.
