Couldn't agree more. Although, YC wouldn't attempt giving 'real' advise at this point. (advise that would end up being labeled elitist, misogynistic etc.) They're under the spotlight, and have to be politically cor

Popularity hacker in 3...2... I bet the next 10 years will see a lot of celebrity-driven startups. Will.i.am, Tom Hanks, Justin Timberlake etc. Looking for your 3rd co-founder? Talk to your local celebrity agent. Something about the term &

Used to be similar for me. Until I discovered deep meditation ( http://www.amazon.com/Deep-Meditation-Pathway-Personal-Freed... ). Summarized: Repeat a chant, such as 'I am' (or any phrase of your choosing) for abo

"The best way to get into business is to be in business". That's inspirational. I'd like to add that maybe one doesn't need to be obsessed with inventing something new or fulfilling an unmet need. Sometimes you can

hey diwank, I like the way you've responded to some of these comments. You're a class act. Interesting blog too (the bootstrap frontpage confused me for a moment though). found the post about the conversation with your co-founder rather int

Well said. Though, habits like these (suggested by the article) early-on could shape the startup's perception of their commitment to their customers. It could end up being a costly 'culture' thing. It's still debatable whether dealing with

Agree that it feels like a waste of executive time. Although, there's probably a bit that the exec could learn from early users, perhaps initiate conversations over features, gather pain points and so on. But there's no reason why this can

"It's the only link that appears at the bottom of my emails." Personally, I've noticed an increasing affinity for the 'tag as spam' button. It takes a certain amount of effort to scroll down, and find the unsubscribe (I'm not even sure if i

'startup tree' -- Neat idea for a weekend project. It's hard for early employees not to be inspired by high-energy, inspirational organizations. I feel startups should work into their biz-plans, the fact that greater than 50% of their early

In reality, daily deals aren't allowing brands to develop deeper, more engaging business to customer relationships. Couldn't agree more. Businesses need to pursue metrics around customer-lifetime-value with a vengeance. Once they do, they

I'd really appreciate it if you could suggest why we couldn't implement similar algorithms as the brain, that possibly require a massive number of fetches & executions simultaneously (guessing this is where memory bandwidth plays in), b

You make an excellent point about how early imperfections in the algorithms could be fixed as they evolve through feedback, and that this step-process running faster would get us the desired (evolved) algorithms quicker. But couldn't we acc

Sifting through the day's top-list on the AI appstore... WTH's this? "Newton AI. The power of a 1000 research assistants at the click of a button, and they'll run all day tirelessly.". "99c launch deal, just for today -- get it now!" Hmm. C
