    I was thinking more along in the lines of creating a dynamic parser. It's an interesting and a challenging problem and I have thought about it for some time. There may need to be some human intervention involved but by design it should

    While business plans may help you revise your idea, I would recommend against working on it. Just build your product and get it out there and iterate from there. You can accomplish so much with so little. But you have to start first. And no

    I'd think this specific remark was to discourage those who want to start a startup because it's cool. And those who really want to do it they are going to do it anyway. No matter what anyone says. So, I guess, this advice works fo
