"But, worse, aside from being non-useful, such stereotyping by (some) thinkers is the very thing they criticize in despise in others, so it's an error in thinking, too!" Wrong, it has to start somewhere. The idea that stereot

What an awful opinion piece! The fact it is on Time.com is part of the "white privilege". lolz. The reason why they say "check your privilege" because we should foster the notion that non-white people have a different Am

You have to consider the fact they probably didn't give out all of the optional pool. Depending on how many employees they hired and at what skill level. My hunch is they only gave out 8% of the optional pool. At most.

Compare this to Facebook: 3/20 Entirely different loyalty, maybe even belief in the long term. I would say that the difference between the two companies is that Facebook hired young, while Google hired older, highly educated employees. (In

hey durga, I like the simplicity but for me it isn't useful. There are many other apps that do a similar thing. I want an app with workouts I can share with friends, so we can try to do the same workouts remotely. A friend of mine wanted to

This happened to Oodle a few years back. It isn't like CL is targeting Padmapper.

This may be blasphemy at HN, but I see so many similarities between digg and reddit. From the power of their service to the complete adoration to their founders. Doesn't this fawning over Ohanian remind you of Kevin Rose?

Agree with everything BUT if you screen "does anybody want ice cream" down Venice beach in the middle of the summer, I'm sure you'll get some customers. lol But in all seriousness, great post.

I don't get the value add here and why its fundable. I'm sure its useful, but will it become ubiquitous? I doubt it. So it seems like the VC's are trying to have another Instagram hit. But that's a VC's job. To take risks and hope for the n

What is the defensibility for this idea? Shouldn't be that in users? Are they just hoping for a Zynga acquisition?

Clearly you still don't understand. They didn't sell 4% of their stake. If they did that, it would be somewhat reasonable. What they got was a dividend. In other words a bonus. And yes the figure is still "large" because it is 1/6th of thei

It is a huge percentage of their funding, around 1/6th. If a company where to raise 6m and the founders got 1m not by equity, but by dividends! That just doesn't happen. If the founder's want to sell some of their equity, I'm fine with that

This is not the definition of a Ponzi Scheme, you should probably look it up on wikipedia. But I do agree with the article, dividend's like this are not the spirit of building a good company. Just founders who want a huge pay-day. I would h

I just realized, I only gave you descriptions for your options, although I did give my suggestion (work at small startup). If you have a great idea and feel comfortable with the entire web stack, apply to YC or other comparable programs. If

There is no set path for these things, but if there was an ideal path it would probably be working as an early employee < 15-20 at a startup. While at the Startup you get real-life experience working at a company, you meet new people an
