Great idea, but I think it has a hard chicken and egg problem. You can have lots of people who put their lost serial number on the website, however until until not more than 100k people have heard about your website and are engaged with it,

Very unlikely to happen. Traction is such a huge factor why people use social networks that outweighs all the features such as ad-free or better usability by the amount of 10 probably. Twitter needs to f up big time to lose its current popu

Yeah it's illegal, but what the government does is also illegal apparently. So what if a company ignored the gag order, what would REALISTICALLY happen. Will the CEO be jailed or will they not be able to put anybody into prison. Will t

Startups for Startups, they will get back way beyond what they gave away. Great things will come to you if you're not asking for anything in return, because people do remember.

I wouldn't say that sam has now become a finance guy, finance has now simply become one of the things he does now as well.

People think to create an AirBnb or Twitter, they have to be really smart. However, you really don't need to be that smart to build a massive company. You need a certain IQ of around 110-120 to understand science or how markets work, b

Plus, you won't be able to remove that negative as you can't remove likes and your page will be seen less forever. What does this show? Don't ever, ever pay for likes.

It would be interesting if YC ever rejected someone with 10% growth over 8 weeks or what the rejection rate at that growth is, because I think it's quite a strong criterion? (given that it's not a totally unscalable business)

It's much different if you're a second time founder (you have sold acompany before) such as Zac's co-founder. If you're a first time founder without significant traction, I think it's very unlikely to get into YC. I

A bit of a linkbait, since the NSA surveillance covers probably 3 billion people at all times and the LAPD covers L.A. with maybe 5 million people. So the capabilities of the NSA are around 1,000 times bigger than the capabilities of the LA
