Yeah, these open lists going around might not be the best idea... Attracting spam, zero privacy. This tool is a better approach

It's a pretty detailed account on how it happened

I thought it was an original "growth hack" from our CTO, Mario, but who knows :)

Couldn't agree more... Transparency almost always helps and in this case it definitely does.

Well, I have many more examples similar to yours... Our CTO actually interviewed with Facebook over 8 rounds (!) only to find out at the end that they won't offer him the salary he…

Totally agree and the feature is coming! For the MVP we focused on bare essentials and look: no mater how great a job is, you won't take it if it doesn't pay the rent. Bonuses, equ…

Just launched this, thanks for checking out and comment! We are also launching on Product Hunt today where we have some additional info, check it out also! We decided to build Want…

I think that has more to do with how publicly one has to use/consume the product. E.g. most people don't like to tell their friends that they have a sexual toy at home, or that the…

That depends on the age group, on sites targeting 30+ / more serious dating there is usually balance or more women

Very true sir in a small fraction of cases, see http://www.umsl.edu/~renners/Ming_etal_Sex_chromosomes_2011.... (well, if you wanted to be precise, you could have said "there are m…

if it's a male dioecious plant, then it has X & Y chromosomes (like dates), so you could theoretically clone a female friend for him :)

Haha, not being able to sleep/working at night is a birth defect in my case.. Not because of the YC application, lol :)

I think we are stuck here, should probably discuss while having a beer :)

I see where you are coming from and what bugs you in the logic of Graham. None of us denies that there are transaction costs related to operate an "idea market", we just seem to ar…

This is even much better than to penalize. Why isn't there a startup helping the government? :) http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/23/the-goldmine-of-opportuniti...

Great idea! There is a ton of social science about why it is irrational to vote ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_ignorance ). If one had to pay even a low penalty similar to…

This is unfair and unjust, I don't really understand why there hasn't been a better regulation put in place for so long.. (even if the initial distribution of ownership rights does…

The problem with ideas is not that they are non-excludable or that transaction costs are too high (contractual costs, monitoring, you can cite the whole institutional economic lite…

0.25-1% conversion rate (50-200k vs 20M) is not bad, 100-400X in terms of readers compared to the pure ad vs. subscription model that would be more like 500-5000X in terms of reven…

Just read this: http://paulgraham.com/start.html Graham argues if ideas would be worth a lot, there would be a market for them. If you understand how the market works, especially i…

Always agreed with the first sentence of the post: "Ideas are worthless. Execution is everything." I advise 50% of people telling me about a new iPhone app idea to go and open a re…

You guys are really sleeping at night? :) Best time to work. Otherwise don't worry, be happy about being a pirate. You will eventually meet your angel either from YC or somewhere e…
