I live about 15 mins away from Pearson Airport, Toronto. Just curious, what do you think about the startup environment in Toronto? Where is all the action at?

When I write articles, I try to minimize the number of ads in them in order to have better control over where the user clicks. If, for instance, a user clicks on an ad selling "knifes", he or she is unlikely to revisit the website and click

I am not sure what it would look like, but I am guessing it would be Google that buys it out this time :D

From the link: "What's in store for TechCrunch? Perhaps a new branch - TechCrunch Ventures?" This is just speculative news. Though, it isn't inconceivable for Mike to take this path. He has, in the past, funded several startups (often unsuc

What a relief! Thank you for sharing that. After watching everyone talk in millions here, I was concerned my "absolute worst" deal that stretched below $100k might hurt our chances of being accepted to YC. I am going to go ahead and put in

Isn't the LightspeedVP Summer Grant's application deadline on March 23rd? There's not a lot of time left to find a team mate.

Has anyone read "ANSI Common Lisp" by pg, yet? The painting on the front cover is actually by Paul :) http://images.pearsoned-ema.com/jpeg/large/9780133708752.jpg

That is indeed an excellent book for personal development. Anyone who hasn't yet read it should certainly look into it.

Dan, thank you for sharing that awesome list. Joel's recommended books are great; in fact, back when I was developing a micro ISV, I used to turn to Joel's website for advice. That is where I discovered Paul Graham's "Hackers and Painters".

Hey Jamie and Sumon, that's awesome. The interface is great since it took me about 2 seconds to figure it out. Though, you guys might need to increase the complexity of the game in order to make it more addictive. Nobody likes to solve puzz

If I were to tag this link, it would've been "Guy, Kavasaki, Eric, Schmidt, Google, CEO, Interview". There is a good chance Dan would have done the same. So tagging helps a lot. Moreover, tagging leaves open the option to build recommender

About 14 months ago, I had little knowledge of how to execute a startup. In particular, I wasn't familiar with any online marketing tactics. The following books helped me a lot in that respective, and more: 1. Positioning, 22 Immutable Law

Startup founders, what books did you find most helpful?

news.yc already takes care of that. I was able to get by it because I posted a direct link, while Dan's link went through Guy Kavasaki's blog.

Sorry, I just realized this is a dupe. Dan posted the same link a few hours ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=5471

PPA is certainly a great relief for advertisers. An interesting question, though, is whether such an offering is actually beneficial to the publishers? Domain-parking sites, in particular, might fail to generate profits through PPA and ther

AdBrite coexists with Adwords despite having a similar CPC model. CJ and LinkShare can either choose to have a head-on fight with Google, and lose. Or they can innovate to provide the same product (PPA) with a better service.

The human review would certainly cause scalability problems. Amazon.com already does PPA with their book referal program. For instance, they pay their ad publishers only when their users purchase a particular book through their site.

Yeah, I love the site. I got to say "hi to Jessica and Paul" and Justin mentioned my site, Shuzak.com, to them live! I am watching YC dinner atm (Paul's riding Trevor's invention) :D This site definitely has potential to generate revenue. T

Google recently revealed that their click fraud is less than 0.02 per cent so it is barely a problem anymore. This means that for every ten thousand CPC, less than two are possible click frauds. Moreover, Google has algorithms that automati
