Sure you can also leave there for 200 Euros in Neukoelln but that was in the hip area Prenzlauer Berg, 25 m2 with a nice kitchen and bathroom. I payed 400 Euros for that.

I don't understand why one would not invest in a startup with insane metrics? What is there to not understand? Has it ever worked out badly when an invesor invested in a startup with insane metrics?

Oh yes it is, you can virtually "not" run out of money there. Sandwhich costs $3, you can a really big room with a double bed for $600/month.

There are so many entrepreneurs and startups in Berlin. There are probably even more startup events there than in San Francisco, it's a very vibrant scene. However, there is just noooo money in Berlin. The reason for that is that there

Everybody is an investor. Always. Either with their own money or with their own time. There are good and bad investors. The good investors find the people to invest in early on by seeing what person they will be within five years before eve

We tried monetizing our app in the real world with only being on Android and people were saying that's nice and all, but you guys are not ready yet if you're not on iOS. The benefits of faster iteration on Android are still strong

The good thing is, brilliance doesn't have to do anything with IQ, it just has to do something with hard work. So try to find a small project that you really, really want to build. Then build it, and see how people use it. That is the

It's a bubble if the valuations are based on nothing. If you look at Tesla, you have the world's best (!) entrepreneur as the CEO behind a company who wants to create electric charging stations fueled by solar cells on his hyperlo

Well nobody else is doing it apparently. Everybody gets seduced to pursue vanity metrics once they go big, that's the art in it.

Holy f^^k, imagine Snowden running for president, I think he would win. The people love him, he is not corruptable and he could make a terrific president.

What do you mean by them having made more money than me? As far as I can see, they have to sell Path for more than $41.2M before they make more money than $0 and that´s gonna be a tough one. I'm currently a bit above that number. ;)

It all comes back to you if you try screwing over the market, the market sees everything. I love the market.

Hmm, well to make a community-driven website, but actually only with the content that the moderators deem worthy, is a good way to piss off users and to not make it change the world. It makes HN mediocre.

You know what sux, stories critical of HN are getting flagged and pushed off the front page, exactly the flaw that this article points out. This article is at position 58 now with 308 upvotes after being submitted 9 hours ago. There's

Well as with many things there is no black and white thinking here either. As my dad always used to say, 50% is talent, 50% is effort. Someone with the 100% talent, who's a lazy fuck (50% overall) will be outperformed by far by someone

That's what happens when you realise that it costs more to acquire a user than you can make money off him/her. There'll probably another layoff in 4 months and another one and then we have an acquihire, yeah! Ugh, I tried to

It seems like you haven't talked to many "successful" people yet, because if they become successful too early/easily, they forget all the lessons and think they became successful because they are so smart. If you really

They are probably there to prevent link-bait since people jump on these kind of articles since they are very easy to digest.

Gosh I love this thread. That's the most important point about how to take advice if you put it in a formula, it's basically the mathematical explanation. The way it has been phrased on numerous other blog post was to take advice

I like this, but instead of saying they don't deserve to be there, I would add that having made it into Stanford is actually "nothing". It could be like this: Stanford will probably be the most intensive and formative period

Math is somehow what intrigued me most during university. After my startup endeavours, I want to make my mark in Physics and Maths, because I think once you have mastered earth and humans(with a startup), it is time to take on the universe

The purpose of selling is that you can just build whatever you want and increase your impact by having your hands in many things. That´s what we are all in for, right?

I don't want to be ageist or anything, I just like discovering facts. Except for Peter Thiel who was 31, 1 year above, only Larry Ellison is a first time founder, all the other ones where very successful before. Huffington Post is not

You don't need experience to start a startup, you get the experience by doing a startup. And you don't get the BS experience in big companies, you get it in its purest form from the market itself, not compromised by any company po

Founders that had had successful startups before don't count. That's why I was referring to "experience BEFORE you try to do your own thing." And yes there are a few startup founders that were older than 30, I give you L
