   What's stopping you from using Bing Search, Open streetmaps, hotmail, Firefox etc.? Google doesn't "control" anything you don't let it.

   Thanks! I can't wait to have enough traffic to actually run into the problems you described. I'd say if there are people out there going out of their way to game it, that would be a good sign it's having an impact.

   Yes, Genius for news is a fair analogy. You do have to actually justify your tag with a coherent argument, so it would take a fair bit of effort. Something like "CNN is fake news" wouldn't really pass muster.

   There is a lot of buzz about net neutrality, and the FCC is set to kill the rule requiring it on Thursday, but a lot of people I've talked to still don't have a good understanding of what net neutrality is exactly. So I wrote a no

   If you don't need the cash right now, and are okay with not getting a return on your investment for many years (if ever), go for it. Just make sure you vet the opportunity as an investor would, not as an employee or contractor would. T

    Depends on what your motivation is. If your goal is to maximize your job prospects or financial outcome, it's probably not a good idea unless you are interested in going into academia or research. If you want to spend a few years of yo

    There is practically no difference between options and RSUs early on when the value the company is low and the strike price is (or at least should be) minimal.

    That is pretty non-standard and a pretty big red flag in my opinion. Definitely a non-starter unless you're willing to work just for the cash they're offering on the assumption that you'll end up with no equity. I'd be

    I'm not sure if you're a troll or just ignorant, but my startup is all about fake news, so I'll take this on. 1. Nowhere do they claim to be affiliated with YCombinator. I'm not sure why do you think YC would be the owne

    It's hard to tell for sure from the blurred out image that the blog post contains, but the "designed" email doesn't appear to have actually made any effort at actual design. It's simply plain text wrapped in boxes

    I don't think your problem is your PhD. If you sent out 1000 resumes, it's unlikely you've been writing decent cover letters or doing any sort of targeting, you're just spamming. You expect the fact that you got an 800

    I don't have access to the original Privco report, but this article on Time http://goo.gl/iu1z3 cites it as saying the 178 employees are dvying up $66 million among themselves and goes on to say a couple of sentences later that the first
