A person who does this being "otherwise good" doesn't lessen the harm to women looking for jobs or investment. But it does go to the person's intent and overall desert of punishmen…

That was still a risky move. The key (literally, one of the elements of sexual harassment) is whether the advance is welcome. I'm guessing that Bill used a lower-risk way of findin…

It's the position of power, regardless of intent, that's the problem. It's lonely to be the boss. Don't hit on women you meet in that capacity.

That message was absolutely inappropriate. Women should be able to raise money without being hit on by investors. My comment was in response to the idea that Dave was secretly diff…

I think there are both 1) sleezeballs who intentionally take advantage of their position and 2) men who don't realized what they're doing and need to use better judgement. Without …

I'm starting to work with a friend on a side project and trying to figure out how to handle vesting. If it were a typical "quit our jobs, startup or bust" plan, I think we'd both b…

>There may be a little bias too since YC obviously has an interest in the most stable of all configurations for their startups, which is the 50/50 split (although it may not be the…

Highly customizable craft kits. We started with some design and stitch yourself thin wallets: http://fabnik.com//products/bookbinder-bifold-wallet-kit/ . Working on a leather watch…

This NOVA episode with Cliff is what got me interested in the Internet when I was 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcKxaq1FTac

Thanks - and you're right, almost all of that size is the leather texture and thread images. The rest is just svg and some css tricks. Visualizing what their choices would look lik…

Your kit will ship tomorrow (well, today - Wednesday), so you should have it by the weekend!

Awesome. Thank you! We'd be really interested to hear how making the kit goes.

Thanks - this is absolutely true. We're working on a javascript configurator so customers can better visualize what they're building. And see it all without scrolling. :)

Thanks for the interest! It's $5.

For those interested, we did an Instructables "launch" a couple weeks ago: http://www.instructables.com/id/Custom-Thin-Wallet-Kit/ . Having great instructions for the kit was reall…

They want to set your old salary as the reference point for your new salary. If you're moving laterally, this isn't awful, but it is if you're looking to move up. A better anchor (…

It seems like refunds would be hackable. If they're made in bitcoin, I could get back more than I paid if bitcoin value goes up. If they're made in dollars, I could get back more t…

I don't think this is meant to be a piece of persuasive writing - he's not trying to form an argument. It compares two companies of different eras with the same name, who ran into …

It's more like: VC: "I am going to buy these goods at $1,000 today because I expect to be able to sell them for $1,100 in one year". How they arrive at the $1,100 is based on the a…

>Remember: These valuations aren't for what a company is currently worth. Otherwise, there's no point to investment. They valuations are for where they see the company going, and m…
