I know a lot of VC funds really don't favor Services and Solutions companies really well - and of course prefer SaaS due to obvious reasons. What does YC think about Services related companies? Would it be a waste of time to apply?

I'm an expat that lives here, the social healthcare system is a complete mess and garbage. As an employer, not only do I have to pay a ~30% tax over the salary of each employee (to pay this healthcare system) - in the end you must reso

I highly doubt these terms were lifted from another app/service. I believe the goal of this app is Sportbook related - but with a twist: it's a game right now. But I see people being upgraded to a "game for fun" to as a "Look how much money

The problem I see is, Facebook ad's are never really going to be extremely lucrative. People don't search on Facebook. They want to play games and post stuff on their walls, looks at other peoples photos, etc. etc. I think Facebook needs to

No, you're incorrect. UX (User Experience) is about designing exactly that - an experience. It's about being extremely detail oriented, mathematical inclination (sifting through metrics, a/b testing data, CTR, bounce rates, etc.), willingne

I do agree with you - this possibly has real potential. BUT I think they need more time to answer these questions: - Is this a fad, or is Pinterest here to stay? - Can they really pump up revenues the way they think they can? And can they

Normally I am not one to comment on fundraising, and I have stayed out of the whole "bubble" debate. But, honestly, this is really getting a little out of hand now. The whole funding situation is getting really frothy. $1.5b pretty much pri

I'm sorry but, higher taxes aren't going to solve anything. At the end of the day, our spending will just not stop. We are just adding fuel to the fire. We need to: • Invest in the future: We need to invent, produce, and export new renewabl

You made a mistake. "Could bare" - I think you mean "barely". Also: You forgot a space after the comma every time you use one. So what where you saying about his article mistakes again? :)

Are you kidding me? That is nothing like the Spotify logo. TC really turned into mostly a garbage publication. How can they allow something like this to be posted? I will never click on a TC link ever again.

Anyone have any idea as to why? I have been searching and haven't found any exact responses yet. Will this somehow affect US and all of us globally? EDIT: (From Reuters UK) "a problem in displaying orders and deals in the main stock market

How is he betraying his users? You mean the free software he built and the $2,500 in expenses he is dishing out every month? The man has worked hard and built something amazing. Why can't he make money? What is wrong with that.

A really great idea. If you can help people make money, you can easily make money.

Or what about... Making a Pandora like music player to discover new music from profiles on your site? You can throw ads all over that, and maybe charge a couple of bucks? Plus have musician eCommerce so people can buy stuff they like. So I

Depending on how many impressions you have, and how active your users are - putting a FEW adsense banners will almost certainly cover your costs. What about a way to get musicians to sell their music through you? You make a small % cut on s

I agree. They absolutely should sell Flickr. Yahoo needs cash, Flickr doesn't fit within what Yahoo is (wherever that may be). With all that free cash, along with the Alibaba deal, they can really make some stuff happen.

Sometimes, you need to cut off an arm to save a body. And how do you or I know it is foolish or not? This is one persons opinion. Do you have their financials to look through? Do you really know why pink slips were given? How do you know Ya

It's called a "sandwich". It's the right move to make, emotions aside. Squeeze from top and bottom, and the middle goes. The middle is where you can make most improvements and cut costs in organizations. That is where most improvement is ma

I think the question here is, how big is the company? Depending on how small or large the company is depends on everything. If they are a small company, they probably would not be able to afford a large cash deal, and would probably try to
