I understand it's important... I just don't like criticism without offering an alternative. Sure, anyone can say something is wrong.. but what's the point of bringing it up without saying what a better way should be?

So what's the alternative? I don't think the author is offering any ...

Yes, please do. Also (this might be an inappropriate question) - did you end up with less, more, or just about average of what founders end up after a typical angel/VC round?

I never approved of "picking a fight with bullies". I approve of defending yourself if a fight has found you, and you have a choice of either fighting or accepting the bullying. Naming your kid a name to MAKE SURE he gets bullied in order f

I've been a Boxee user for a long time, and I was SO excited about the Boxee box. I was about to click "Pre-order", and at the last second I thought "Wait, what's the size of the hard drive?.." And that's all she wrote. I cannot believe the

My rule of thumb is usually, I don't want to listen to somebody who got rich/successful by teaching other people how to get rich/successful. They have become rich before, and then teach others just because they enjoy doing it. When I read s

I don't think it's really the "fair" price.. it's the price that he, the author, would consider buying the books instead of pirating them. Whether that price is really "fair" is debatable. Now, I love freedom of information, torrents, open

In a few years at HN, this is close to the worst advice I have ever read. I don't want to question the author's honesty when he's saying he's not a anti-social geek who never talks to other people, even though sometimes we're all oblivious
