Other than "the service" which often relies on users as much as users rely on it; what are you talking about specifically?

I've been predicting this for so long. I want this (or the idea of this) so much. This is essentially personalized search. My hopes are high

We have different opinions, but the same conclusion. I haven't found Reddit relavent in years and they still don't turn a profit. Nothing against it or regular users, just not for me anymore

So compete at a high burnrate in an extremely crowded space with a huge workforce faking your technology until you can pivot your product and market down the road? I get what you're saying as a general heuristic; but this is not that i

Draw attention to it for that dev; so the team is forced to take action. It's fair play. I've seen it go both ways; someone crushed Stripe with allegations and PC and several support techs showed up; guy was breaking the terms ba

I never understood Hulu. 1) it costs money AND shows adverts. 2) owned by cable company 3) still can't get all the content owned by said cable company and 4) this horrific anecdote: Was in the car with my fitness obsessed gf, she'

Article notes it is not commonplace for daycare to be included and flips the Apple HQ launch into a personification of Jobs poor parenting of his daughters. They arent exactly wrong; but this is agenda first journalism 101.

I hate Reddit; but what you've brought up is simply a feature not a bug: > /r/all It includes all the subreddit potentially; that's the point. Make a metareddit if you want tighter control; or tailor your FP

I hate to be negative; so I won't. I can't see this being scaleable, profitable or useful at a meaningfully higher level than people.

I was wondering what Biz was up to; really dont understand the negativity here. This is probably a morale boost internally; Biz always struck me as the most passionate user-centric one of the founders. He brings a philosophy of horesing aro

I read the Clinton email chain; I find Huffington to be unethical and a general disgrace. Her appearance on this board is obviously a political stunt / leverage of her influence just like the Clinton campaign. Maybe this was down voted

I agree; and didn't say it was dubious. That said; the title was phrased with a slight negative connotation; before it was changed it was like: Newmark was an idealist; now he's a billionaire He is likely a paper billionaire b

I'm passed edit window; but Google: "craigslist" + "offerUp" You will see a lot of articles about how Craigslist makes money; is dangerous; potential revenue models; is going to finally get dethroned. The one that m

Pen island? What was it supposed to be?

I assume they could effortlessly ramp to $1B if that estimate is semi-close. It would cost virtually nothing to add more paid markets and services; maybe allow the gravity algo to be tweaked. Figure very low costs for a site like that you c

by wand3r 9y ago
I think largely because they are estimates; I think Craigslist is likely worth way more given the ubiquitous nature, high margin, low costs and the decisions to not monetize everything. That said, IMO this article is not about Craigslist bu

by wand3r 9y ago
I was wondering how they got that number; basically they use a $690M revenue guess from a third party, apply a valuation multiple from eBay and then multiply by the 42% Newmark owns. Craigslist is unique; it isn't entirely profit drive

Their DVD service required a minimum of 48 hours forethought before viewing a video. Some people watch whole seasons of shows in that period. For most, a large enough selection instantly is much better than a full selection w/ a 3 day

Sure but this generated a lot of press so it made the vuln more known; Microsoft released a patch and systems are likely less vulnerable to the same attack. Similar attacks using other vulns or tooling are inevitable but this is prob much l

Great write-up. It's funny; a mistake/exploit allowed the malware; a mistake/bug allowed it to be mitigated...by the researchers mistaken intent that registering the domain would simply provide him with sample data.

Again; this is my own opinion and I am not on a competitive dev team. AWS is the defacto standard; and I think learning the API keeps you out of the UI. Azure has one too; they are both clunky and more than I need but; and someone who uses

I am not a super user of AWS and have light demands as far as the console. I find the documentation and dashboard pretty decent; burnrate monitor and basic services(vm, ip, storage) easy enough. The naming and requirements-- and also the sp

This is cool and it's always smart to check past implementations like this. As long as you learn why the failed not that the idea is impossible. VR is a good example; I didn't see any companies on that list but many gave up on V
