I refuse to accept that I suck Paul. Seriously. You're 1-5 people trying to judge on what you think is going to work. I personally think reddit gave you a bit of an ego trip. I thi…

It looks like it's "operator billing" and Bango seems to charge a $500/mo fee for it. Thanks for the tip though, I'll keep searching.

I'm interested in setting up a business account to receive money like the text "HAITI" to "90999" campaign to donate $10 to the Red Cross. Does anyone know of such a service for no…

Sebastian, you seem like a nice enough guy, but have you ever considered turning this microscope on yourself? There's a really high chance that if I see a huge nuanced argument on …

If you're going to stick around you should consider joining citycarshare.org or zipcar.com - I haven't yet because I want to do City CarShare but I'm not in SF (yet).

I'm torn on this issue. If you watch the TED video referenced in the blog post, the YT representative speaks about the JK wedding video [1] as a vehicle for getting the Chris Brown…

Craigslist donated all the revenue from erotic services to charity and used the fees for adult services to pay for lawyers to screen each and every posting. It was on NPR in the ba…

Isn't a decent chunk of what goes viral on YouTube amateur? I hate the idea that I could write an app which could make me (and Apple) a chunk of money, if only they'd accept it in …

eBay never invested in craigslist, they bought shares from an executive who left the company.

EBay acquired its stake from a former Craigslist executive who was seeking to sell his shares. Mr. Newmark and the Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster said in separate messages posted on…

From the actual paper: http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/ We will raise this conjecture (the purport of which will hereafter be called the "Principle of Relativit…

I'm pretty sure that Einstein intuitively "guessed" that the speed of light would be the fastest possible speed and used that fact to work out the rest of the equations. E = mc^2 w…

I had a similarly frustrating experience with Feedburner in early 2008. I was running something slightly controversial and they basically reverted to an older version of my RSS and…

Last time I checked people were still paying money for Wolfram's A New Kind of Science . Maybe some of these "quacks" should get funded.

The TC article doesn't mention the In-App Purchase features you offer. It sounds like you offer free-for-the-user updates to applications as well as providing infrastructure for tr…

Google is actually in a unique situation where everyday users could continue to take advantage of free services and cost Google bandwidth/electricity while completely ignoring ads.…

Back when I was a kid in High School, I was proud of the fact that I could enter enough words into a search string to find what I was looking for on AltaVista. I was guessing what …

Simulated and real world are two different ball games. In the real world tests with sh- er um crappy AT&T signal strength, they were testing in privacy cases. Ideal tests in the an…

I suspect Apple never caught this call dropping issue due to the fact that everyone who had one of these new 4G iPhones was required to keep it in a case when they were field testi…

I don't get scribd. Why wouldn't you link to the government website hosting this PDF or to a press report conveying this information? My eyes are bleeding from all the ads...

Kingdom of Loathing players were using it back in March, though they seem to be a more intellectual playerbase compared to most RPGs.

So it's a nock off of chatroulette with a business spin? How long will it take until The Gap sees that 90% of their video applicants are actually dudes wanking off?

I founded a startup that was featured by the WSJ all by myself and have gone on to work on a new project which has some traction. I applied to YC with another idea and didn't "make…
