There should be other ways to leverage connections/network other than having to dilute ownership. That may be the most imbalanced transaction around. I also reject that things like electronic trading for the masses are bad because the gener

This article isn't really getting top tier investor opinions, but my assumption is that they are taking crowdfunding quite seriously. To not consider it disruptive to more formal capital would be incredibly out of character with smart money

Come on. Not about suppressing your hobby, it's about not being identified solely with it. That's the stuff you pull out after you get married. Then it eventually ends up in a small closet about 5 years later. Ultimately, it ends up bein

Yep, enough money for two attorneys oughta do it. Although i have to admit, i would love to have that title 'The Mark Cuban Chair to Eliminate Stupid Patents'.

It would be equally fascinating to look at all the incredibly well designed launches that failed miserably. This is a great reminder that if you solve a big problem or have unique content, people will crawl through sewage to get to it, but

Love the slides, they don't even need a soundtrack. Was going to leave a FU comment, but it was too obvious. I'm in a BigCo and every time we acquire a LittleCo I get massive culture envy. I think you nailed how great product happens.

Very true. If you add the words twitter, peak performance, and about 500 words - that thought could be published.

I worked in finance and left when I realized that the people who were successful in finance were typically salespeople. Not necessarily by title, but more by action. It's bizarre how little the industry actually manages itself through dat

Point is, time to deliver will matter... And stop doing the inconsequential many... How can anyone argue against that? Wonder when the first big reorg/cut happens, that will be when you get a true sense of where they are going.

Amazon without all the fulfillment overhead and all the event driven and social context. First pass was virtual gifts right? This is physical. Interesting, but needs some major fortitude.

Seems like the key to doing that well will be to remove all friction on capturing an image (or linking to a comprehensive product database) then making shipping a breeze. I have to say inertia is a bitch, and keeping these things on your s

Amazon does this at scale. By the title <and site name>, I thought you were going to enable a quick post, sell, or donate of unwanted gifts. That would be cool. I typically hold on to unwanted gifts for months and then simply don

I wonder if they don't publish pricing to avoid scrutiny similar to cash advance or payday lending. Whole thing should be hammered by the FTC. So i get spied on and get hit with a 157% APR. That's brutal.

More like, rent to be owned... That's pathetic, shame there can't be a bigger penalty. Sad thing is this scam is clearly going after a group that likely doesn't get tech. Wonder how much it costs to rent a PC nowadays.

I don't see the connection to Wall Street <and Wall Street definitely won't see it>. This isn't about monetization, but is more about breadth of context. Really, is there a single change in how they monetize in this SDK release -

i think the reality is that if it's signed, however you choose to sign it, it protects the merchant from a chargeback ... Although, signing it with a stick figure is interesting. I wonder if the bank would consider that negligent if you d

The problem with a lot of the comments here is that the participants use logic, while typical Americans do not. The main point is really about lack of transparency by providers and complacency by consumers... Compounded by an industry tha

There's something beautiful about simple low tech solutions that require cooperation or blunt force - even if it doesn't work. I once dropped a car into a creek in a third world country and it was deep down a ravine off a cow path. In Ameri
