It's so easy for people to figure out when you copy language or basic code. It never ends well.

You'd be wrong. Ask second-time founders. While you don't repeat some of your past mistakes, the expectations get jacked up and the stakes are higher. It doesn't get easier.

I don't think there's a conspiracy here. Just bad decisions.

This is a lesson in the power of language. The companies involved and their denials of knowledge of PRISM were not lies, but clearly they were making it easier for the government to extract data for surveillance, under an unnamed program wi

If Tesla drives that money into development of the economy vehicle, they're going to scare a lot of car manufacturers.

I don't think Instagram/Systrom had any intention to sell user photos or do anything as drastic as the blogosphere made its TOS changes sound. It did the right thing responding so quickly to user feedback. Hopefully it'll result in a TOS th

This group presented at the Angelhack SF hackathon (I'm a judge). It's simple and only works in certain use cases where you need more immediate feedback, esp. the polling stuff. However, it definitely has its uses. Good job, guys!

For context: this group just presented at the AngelHack SF Hackathon (I'm one of the judges). It's funny, but Twitter will clearly drop the hammer on this. It's bad for the ecosystem overall.

As a former journalist, there is one simple way to press: get introductions. If you don't know people who know journalists, meet them. A strong network is essential to the success of any startup.

Ryan's a smart guy, but he has got this one wrong. Product launches ARE news, no matter how you slice it. News is simply a product of what people want to know about, plus what people SHOULD know about. So people want to know about new Apple

It's important to note that this isn't a complete reversal -- Quora's still going to display views from "in the feed". They're also blocking all "adult" content from the Views feature as well. The changes should alleviate most of the pressu

#1 way to get an interview: recommendations from other YC founders. Not just tepid "I know this person" but "I'm putting $100k down on this team."

This is a fantastic article with a lot of in-depth interviews and analysis. This is an example of what tech journalism should be. Another note: the beauty of YC isn't that Paul & co. pick home runs every time -- they don't -- it's that

Regardless of the politics, the ridiculous lengths that BMG and the other labels are willing to go to in order to take down content that clearly falls under fair use simply boggles my mind.

You often have to seed a social site in order for it to be compelling for people to consume. Once they're hooked, then they start submitting. As long as the quality is good, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing.

I suspect Facebook has bigger plans for Face.com's technology than auto-tagging. I bet they integrate facial recognition technology into the Facebook Platform. Tagging every face... everywhere... and sending that data back to Facebook. That
