It really isn't that profound. People take sugar and turn it into Red Vines. They're shaped, flavored and textured to be more enjoyable. Frankly, the heartiness, saltiness and other qualities of meat are good, so if you can take ingredie

Let's keep in mind that they rejected a $6B buyout while they have constantly dumped shares every chance they get. There is a reasonable chance that they turned down the offer knowing that it would be easier to cover up shady accounting pr

I am pulling these out of my 4$$ but all of the normal things you could get a bad review over would apply. A portfolio company's respected founders (basically, your client/customer) saying that a partner was difficult to work with, making

This is the best articulation I've read on this debate, which I usually find filled with arrogance and condescension. Our company is what it is today because of our technology team, but by the time we found them we had money in the bank, b

The site is about discovery and we find that people are more excited to stretch just beyond the genre they chose than they are to get only the songs that narrowly fit the exact description. Most peoples' complaints about Pandora are that i

So funny how the HN crowd has such a hard time with this when regular users seem to be doing just fine. ;)

We use FB for now, but you don't need an account in order to use the site as much as you want. You're only really missing out on social features anyway.

Understood, Joe. Just keep in mind that you don't need an account to keep using the site as long as you want.

Thanks, Matt. We have some technical reasons why we can't do that with the URL, or don't anyway. But if you want to share music in that manner, just click the tweet button and steal the URL from there. Sorry about the volume issue. It ha

Completely agree. Inspiring post. The author never said anything besides, don't conform, stay true to yourself. A disclaimer wasn't needed, and I rolled my eyes the minute I started reading the parent comment.

All I know is this...this is the kind of support I want from the people I work with. A16Z consistently show me they're the kind of people I want to be working with.
