While I can appreciate the desire for user feedback, I would challenge the assumption that it's "valuable". The very first point of the article touched on the difference between information that you will gather from free VS paying users. O

Please forgive the self promotion, but in an effort to teach myself something about code, and to help people I know in a similar situation as you described, I have been building out a Website with resources for making a little bit of extra

Care to cite your source? EDIT: I'm sorry, but was my request for a source considered rude? I don't understand the knock. I would really like to see some data showing the consolidation of wealth, if it actually exists.

I'm glad to be a piece of your evidence. I have college degrees in Entrepreneurship and Marketing and have been just a "non-tech" guy for too long. I got tired of not being able to build anything myself, so I'm working my way through your b

I don't want an iPad or a laptop. My ideal would be an all in one device: a smartphone that docks into a tablet that docks into a keyboard. Something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=R... I know it wi

If you try to value gold objectively (its industrial and possibly jewelry use), its price should be significantly lower than what it is today. I think you might be misunderstanding what gives things value. The $20 bill in my pocket has li

Mr. Buffett, like a lot of people, mischaracterizes gold as an investment. It is not. Gold is a store of wealth, not a tool realizing future gains (although that may happen). It is disingenuous to compare gold to stocks, or even to farmland

As a lover of road trips, I really dig what you're doing. If I may offer two observations: 1) I would appreciate some sort of filter to hide multi-location stops like Sub-way, Exxon, etc. If you are going to have such data at all, I would

Is it unwise to do the research/vetting before I actually need the services? I am hoping to launch by the end of the year, so I have some time, but I want to have some idea of what I should be thinking about so that I have one less thing to

>"How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?" The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral respo

While I love the big thinking behind the idea, as someone who tried to launch a similar, restaurant related, Web startup, there are at least two major issues: 1) High restaurant turnover - Approximately 60% of restaurants either close or ch

An apparent word of caution though for A/B price tests: ”Amazon has run A/B pricing experiments, and learned the hard way that customers do find out, and are upset about it. So their new policy is: if they run a price experiment, you’ll

I agree. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever done such tests and, if so, what the results were.

What do you mean by "loosely coupled"? Are you saying that the electricity flowing into Volts and Leafs hitting the market doesn't really come from a polluting source or merely that it doesn't have to? ...or am I missing your point complete

I agree with lucas, but more because of the faulty Keynesian economics described in that article. Innovation and productive activity "generates" money, not consumption. It doesn't make any sense to say that if I purchase something off of th

It depends on what you mean by tax evasion. If you are referring to the legal charge that can be brought against someone, then no, it is not. If, however, you used the phrase as a general description, then sure, it may very well be, but t

Right, but I'm wondering HOW they found out about it. Was is just dumb luck that a particular go-getter found out about it and passed it up or do they have some kind of "pass interesting things up" policy and actively encourage it? It obv

Does anyone know if Apple has any sort of employee empowerment policy? At start-ups, it doesn't (or at least shouldn't) take much for the decision makers to hear from customers and respond in a way that "wow"s them, but I'd be curious to kn

What's so bad about a monopoly in a free market? Doesn't that just create opportunity for some other carrier, perhaps a currently small regional company, to step up and fill that hole? If the pain is big enough, there will be competition.
