Except what do you do if you have venture backed competitors who are willing to spend and lose huge amounts of money in the land grab for marketshare, and thus have far larger sales teams and development teams? More 2am nights?

"Google worked out a deal with “full service” broker to give us free accounts" That is actually really interesting. How much did this broker have to pay to get this box full of highly lucrative leads - access to a large set of ne

This is really the death of the mid-market mall, which are being replaced with 2 extremes - the outlet mall and the high end mall. In warm climates, malls become outdoor is the trend, but that certainly isn't the case for cities with h

You can already get a visa-for-money from most major first world countries, and after a few years, it is easy enough to make the jump towards citizenship. Is it really that big of a jump to get rid of the time component? For example: USA

Actions speak louder than words, and I don't see how requiring logins to view answers results in a better user experience and community. I would guess that since it is socially uncouth to say their motivation for the site is to try to

I'm pretty curious as to your statement 'Register jobs in Postgres, use RabbitMQ as the trigger mechanism. But this puts a burden on the processor, which now has to use two APIs.' Does that mean you know of a way to do it wit

I'm not sure how that helps. If you are in Silicon Valley (or NYC), then yes, you can fund raise easily and at high valuations, but you are stuck paying Silicon Valley wages. If you are in the US, but outside Silicon Valley (or NYC), t

Private company valuations of companies based in VC are far than companies outside the valley, even with the same revenue/profit/growth potential. It sucks and doesn't make economic sense, but that is what I observe

So is Google a startup then? They are definately trying new models and markets - Glass, self driving cars, robots, etc. How would AirBnB be any more of a startup than Google?
