What about used mp3's? Could I (legally) create a marketplace for half-priced music: seller specifies what music they have, buyer buys, we "ensure" destruction of sellers mp3, make it available to buyer?

Thinking out loud: In an attempt to vastly improve the data, could a mobile app be written that can "detect" if you are driving (exact location, speed, alignment/frequency to your past paths, etc), in such a way that the data could be autom

I've done GLG (and other similar services) in the $700 range. It's not just for C-level execs at $5-10B revenue companies (I cofounded two venture-backed startups). I started by charging $400. Then I realized that some of these calls last

My guess: they haven't solved the "fit" problem, they won't bother trying (too hard), and it doesn't matter. These dresses are equivalent to "found money." Woman has a closet full of dresses. They're old, uninteresting, unwearable, etc. She

Very similar to what I had in mind. Just no need to read or understand how it all works. Just embed some Javascript, and assume 1) that it works great and 2) it will improve over time (based on A/B tests on your site and other sites).

Why? Many of us use Spreedly / Chargify / Recurly. Imagine embedding a Spreedly form on your site. Still scary?

I think there's a general purpose need for "optimal" form components. Let me elaborate: - Fields for typing-in a credit card - Fields for typing-in an e-mail address - Fields for typing-in a U.S. street address There are widely-known techn

While re-imagining parking lots is certainly a worthwhile exercise, I am reminded by a recent and very intriguing HN comment (sorry couldn't find it) that compared our avg utilization of automobiles (low) to the avg utilization of airplanes

Instead of building the software yourself, why don't you license it from others and focus on operating the site? See invested.in, who licenses their crowd funding platform out of LA (and on reasonable terms). Disclaimer: it's my brother's c

From my personal experience, it's not just about vesting. It's about energy. For many folks, after 3-4 years, things just aren't the same. Jeff's baby is all grown up. He's poured his heart and soul into this thing. Time to catch his br
