I'm black and I've worked with black youth to get them involved with tech and here's what I've found: Black youth don't necessarily need to find other black idols to look up to. They - much like any other youth - ne

LOL @ "It's not a big factor when we're judging applications". Because, it is a factor ... but, not a big one.

Hey Prayag, Wasn't implying that your service doesn't provide benefits. I actually believe the exact opposite to be true. What I'm saying is that it doesn't make sense for you guys to do a revenue split based on how many

Although this sounds like a decent idea, the challenge with it is that you're assuming a couple of things: 1) The start-up acquiring the lead list has the ability to progress the deals to closure. 2) The start-up acquiring the lead lis

Based on your comment, I'm going to assume you've never worked in B2B sales. "Lead Lists" are not something enterprises want to share - small or large.

Ha! I think the people who downvotted this didn't realize that "mjd" is Mark Jason Dominus aka the guy who wrote the blog post.

They themselves said "..this unreleased version caused issues" . That could be referring to anything - including service-overload issues but I don't know why that would be that surprising. This is exactly why companies like

Not sure why you think there's more to the story. It's extremely common for "unreleased" versions of various apps/services to have bottlenecks that the production-ready versions would not. That's typically why

I have read a fair amount of this thread and I still stand by what I said. Furthermore, for obvious reasons, I don't believe HN is an objective place to discuss the merits of PG's statements past & present.

by ovoxo 13y ago
Look, I respect PG as much as the next person so this is not a slight against him since I feel HN far too often comes to his defence as if protecting their newborn. Having said that ... I don't understand how a man of his stature and s

So, you do all realize that this was an investment (of less than 10%) and not an acquisition right? Everyone here is talking about how this plays right into Google's plans - no. With their stake, Google does not have enough leverage to

The title of this post is misleading because it implies that the USSR believed it was a hot dog stand. Either use the original title from the article or add the words "it was actually just a" before "hot dog stand".

The individual in me says "Wow, that's a lot of spying". Yet, the larger, money-hungry side of me says "what service/product could I develop to get a chunk of that $80 billion".

Well, the reason that wouldn't work is because the primary objective of the IPO is to raise $$$ for The Corporation and not the "existing shareholders". The "I" in IPO is the critical part of the equation here since it is this initial exclu
