This isn't actually true. If an apartment rents for more than $2000 it is no longer subject to rent stabilization, and there are various tricks that landlords use to make sure it doesn't fall back under such as issuing rebates or free month

Maybe. Depends on if you can do something different and gain some users that they don't have, or if you can do something better and take some users from your competitor. For the second option, you can take users they already have or users t

And the one week where you're $10000 short of making payroll, I'm sure everyone will appreciate having the nicer chairs. I can't believe so many people are saying this is a good idea! Yeah they're nice, but I'd wager that most of the compan

One reason a freemium model might be a good choice is if your free users might convert somewhere down the line. For example, if you use Dropbox you use more storage, and thereby move toward the paid option as you become more engaged. Free t

http://www.crazyblinddate.com/ The people behind OKC actually started a site exactly as you describe. It's currently being renovated or something though.

This post doesn't make sense. It specifically says that this doesn't affect match percentages which is the primary way that the site matches people. It is just taking into account that the people who are the most conventionally attractive t

I used to be employee #3 at a small startup. When I left, I gave 30 days notice so that I could help hire and train my replacement. In response, they told me to go home and refused to pay the 2 weeks pay they owed me.

I know it's annoying to have the Microsoft tell you how to organize your files, but there are some benefits to keeping those. Since those folders are in the API, many apps use them as defaults. Also, trusted Silverlight apps are restricted

People don't seem to notice that on the iPhone platform fragmentation is limited because people keep buying new devices. Usage stats from my app in April (somewhat unscientific but illustrates my point decently): iPhone 3G: 49

Am I the only person who thought that whole sketch was an ad that Apple probably paid for? Stewart never said anything bad about the products, and in fact every 20 seconds said something about how awesome they were. Plus he had an iPad on s

I think it's fair to count those though. If you have a DART tag on your page, the request needs to be handled by DART's ad server regardless of if it returns an image or a redirect to another network.

Once nice thing about Google is the famed 20% time. If you have an idea, you're allowed to work on it roughly one day a week (or almost one week per month). You might hear some people say that it's a myth, or that it's too hard to actually

Does anyone know if there's an easy way to get something like this to play with? It might be fun to start thinking about iPad killers.

Or you could sell them for $1100 and make a profit. The original question wasn't about ways to throw away money.

I've been thinking about what would happen if I decided to work on my startup full time in NYC, where I live now, and I always end up thinking that it would be pretty hard to live in that "extremely low income" category. Does anyone have an

That sounds pretty unlikely. Why would they respond to a an issue that's already public with a move that would generate even more bad press? You know that right after that, you would see "Apple to Dev: All your revenues are belong to us" as

I can't help reading this name as App-Pirater rather than App-i-Rater.
