Can you share any examples? Sounds like a fun weekend project to try to put one of those companies out of business :)

I would guess Schmidt is much less interested in doing business with North Korea and much more interested in currying favor with other governments. Obama himself may have asked him to make this trip and it could go a long way toward softeni

Your premise is largely wrong, at least from my experience as an advertiser. They have two main problems: 1) huge amount of adult/offensive/drug related etc traffic that most mainstream advertisers/adsense etc don't want. 2) antiquated ad i

I submitted an error (and a solution) in their open graph docs that caused a bug if anybody copy/pasted the code from their site. The error was fixed within hours, however I never got any money or even an email :(

I'd be living on a beach in Italy right now were it not for the visa situation. Anybody know a way around the 90-day rule for Americans?

Somebody posted it. http://www.quora.com/Wikipedia/Is-Wikipedia-collecting-more-... His response: That article is typical of The Register - typical nonsense. The number of falsehoods in it is substantial, so in the interests of time, I w

Jimmy Wales is very active on Quora and answers pretty much any question with his name in it (and it's "free" to ask him to answer) if anybody cares to post this. I was going to, but since the comments here seem to say the article is withou

I really like how frequently words like 'dropped' 'removed' and 'consolidated' are used. Was a little worried about bloat with the creators now having more time to devote to it. Great to see that wont be a problem!

Stock can be used as collateral to get a bank loan (the uber rich use this to avoid capital gains taxes). I would imagine that is what they'll do to generate cash for disbursements from the foundation (they have to pay out at least 5% per y

Given the amount of publicity this is getting, I would argue it will be a net positive. It will provide a strong deterrent to people hacking celebrities in the future.

It's obnoxious how they do these things, milking every last pageview they can possibly get. I can't make it through this and I'm extremely interested in the subject matter. Is there a text list of all of the people and what company they are

Then it's typically a loan with a pre-defined interest rate. A convertible note does not buy equity - thats what 'convertible' means - and 'note' means 'loan'. So it's a loan that can convert to equity based on certain conditions. As I said

In overly simplistic terms: That $50 would be converted into stock at the time of their next fundraising. Uncapped means there is no cap on the valuation at the time of the next round. So if one of the founders raised money at a $100,000 va

Mine: "I just received an email that Buddy's Cannabis in San Jose is having a special. 27 different strains are on sale for $29.99 per 3.5 grams. I think I'll go for that, and give the remainder to the first homeless person I see."

Right. The reason they can't do that is because people can easily game the system by just naming their apps popular search terms. It's the same reason simply owning 'thing.com' doesn't make it your rite to be ranked #1 in google for 'thing'

I would imagine lots of VC's end up feeling this way, because the people they interact with most are amazingly talented and smart startup founders - who are constantly kissing their ass and telling them everything they say is genius. Don't

So when I see a Like button on a site I've never visited before, that displays my name, FB avatar + social data - you're saying that the site I'm on has no way to know that I've visited it unless I click the Like button? Only Facebook knows

Not 100% certain, but nearly. They were just two examples I could think of off the top of my head though. As the other commenter said about TWP, the practice is common. I see my name and other social data displayed on sites I've never signe
