zap.com is a public company http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ZPCM That probably explains why there is little interest in selling you the domain. It would probably be a huge PITA for them, even if they wanted to do it.

Just because he was not successful (yet) does not mean it was a foolish effort. It's attitudes like yours that make hustling work, simply because so few people are willing to even send an email to somebody because they think it's unlikely t

Did you read the article? It says they plan to sell off the carsabi site/service. So, it's not really surprising at all...

by wilfra 14y ago
Bummer. I was hoping carsabi would take off. I used them to find my car. It was great. Especially the graph that tells you whether a car is overpriced or underpriced compared to all of the other listings. I used it to negotiate $1,000 off o

I don't understand why the market reacted negatively to this news. There are a number of positives: -They don't have to use FB credits -They don't have to use anything FB on Zynga.com -They got a guarantee if their is real-money gaming on F

This is a very good point and enough for me to know I will not be using Google for cloud hosting...ever. They shut down AdSense and AdWords accounts constantly with no recourse or explanation and customer support is completely non-existant.

Correct. And it seems people have only figured that out recently. Companies that really do only hire the top 1% are starting to post jobs that look like a whole lot more people are qualified for. See Instagram, for example: http://instagra

This is one of those rare HN posts that would be better to discuss on Reddit. I doubt the community here would do anything but downvote the most appropriate/interesting comments.

They probably didn't anticipate GitHub becoming a competitor and people including things in job postings like 'links to GitHub profiles would be appreciated - links to LinkedIn profiles will be ignored' - but that is becoming the norm for p

"there is a large pool of money in the venture capital asset class that is opportunistic, momentum driven, and thesis agnostic. this pool is driven largely by the public markets." Mixed in all of the fluff is the real answer, though worded

you think it's a hoax? it's been linked to from reputable news outlets as his blog where he's posting while on the run from the belize authorities.

This advice is for people carrying drugs, guns, 'sex slaves' etc. It shouldn't be read as applicable to anybody traveling in Central America. Though I think one key takeaway is that its not wise to go driving around on desolate roads in pla

Tubbo, you've been hellbanned for months. Nobody can see your posts... (really dislike that method of banning people - he has pages of thoughtful contributions)

you can see replies on twitter... i have gotten two so far: 'shut up' and 'thank you!'

pretty fun for trolling strangers tbh i didn't come across one serious question though. just a bunch of random nonsense 'where do we go when we die??' 'should i go to sleep???' etc

I don't see what the big deal is with this if it's for physical products. You'd obviously just verify before shipping. If it's for digital goods it clearly wouldn't be a good idea though.

you're also not being honest with your users. you're not actually filing chargebacks on their behalf, at least not at first. you're asking for their permission to harass/spam/threaten the merchants they have a problem with - then filing a c

You didn't need to give your age, it was obvious from the name you chose for the module ;)

This is the online equivalent of "protection" money the mafia asks for when they say they're going to burn down your store if you don't pay them. I applaud making it easier for people to file chargebacks but shame on your business model. Ed

Interesting idea. How much would that service be worth to SaaS companies?
444.
by wilfra 14y ago
Interesting. I always assumed the cost of the actual product for things like this was next-to-nothing, with marketing/profit/administration/distribution making up the vast majority - thus making portion sizes basically irrelevant.

They have notoriously bad breath and bad teeth. Travel guides for Japanese tourists even suggest they brush their teeth regularly and use mouthwash in America so as not to offend people.

I wasn't passing judgement on either group, simply stating the facts as I know them to be.

Lot's of people also don't look at the toilet paper after they wipe, to be sure they got everything. I believe this also stems from people not discussing their bathroom habits.

For working class white American men, that is not limited to public restrooms. They're doing it at home too and laughing about it to their wives/girlfriends/kids - who probably call them disgusting to which they laugh even more. People with
