I think the "backlash" is a symptom, not the cause. The cause likely has a lot more to do with an unnatural supply constraint imposed previously as well as very little in the way of a public transportation infrastructure that woul

As a power-excel user I agree with you that Sheets isn't quite there yet. Trying to use the same shortcut keys that I'm used to often makes me want to bang my head against a wall, either because they don't work at all or bec

Hopefully, people can work together to what I think could be 2-3 good outcomes that help alleviate some of these very real problems: 1. Public Transportation: both inter & intra-city transportation is very poor. It's extremely ha

“My primary motivation,” Thoman said, “is because I don’t like playing games at low resolution.” I thought that quote was great. The modding community always amazes me for their frequent dedication without any kind of financial reward or r

It looks like how it lets you claim your money without your bank account details is by processing a refund. Don't know how they did it, but it's very cool.

I hate to say it, but if I ran an art stand, I'd put up a few around central park right now. Wouldn't be surprised to see some stands going up to make money off the "halo effect" here.

"I am struck by just how many people there are working there on the floor. There seem to be too many whenever I'm there." Maybe that's more more of a load problem? They are probably there for the peak rush periods, and

It's a bit like a game. It's the investors job to eliminate false positives and vs. a first time founder, investors will typically have an advantage in that they've been through this many times before. Trying to "beat t

Love the indie game movement but think it'll take awhile for people to adjust to the higher failure rate that this will naturally spawn.

I'd really love to be able to see an MMORPG take on politics like Civilization did. Would be interesting to see what happens...kinda Lord of the Flies-ish.

Good to see more ways to share internet experiences with real-life people. Wasn't meebo working on some sort of web check-in thing? Wonder if there's something in the works around that, beyond just their hello advertising bar.

The point I take away is a little bit beyond just realizing that you're lucky. That's important, and the people I've met that I consider truly successful (ones I would consider as role models), generally realize this. However, I think we c

I agree with your statement as it perceives to larger companies, but for start-ups, if I were an investor, I would actually want founders to "cash-out" at least a little. Assuming I've done my due diligence on the dedication of the team, th

Don't think it's just weekend press, and I don't think the investor community thinks of it that way either. It's sending a statement that they don't necessarily care about rewarding their investors. We won't really know what happens until

Well, I'm not sure this is true. You typically want to have a strong IPO to generate momentum for your company and shape the public's perception. Perhaps this is different because so much was trading in private markets before the IPO, but

We know it was MS that's supporting them at that psychologically important $38 figure, but that $2.3B figure is just speculation. Still, I'm sure there are some very nervous traders this weekend over at MS. Would not be surprised to see a
