Showmanship/Entertainment. The whole point of being in Vegas or on a cruise ship (prior installation), is to have a spectacular experience. An efficient, mundane, McD's dispenser i…

Just thought I'd add a bit of "color" to this submission since it seems to be dropping: Honestly, for most of my career, I can say that it was far more than 10k a year. In the last…

Early on, this was precisely what they did.

Maybe you wouldn't, but this is why financial reporting is important and often a requirement. These people bet on someone else's gambit and lost, but according to all the signs the…

I've used this for years and love it.

As someone with a formal design education and a uhh "technologist", I think this argument is pure crap. You're looking at "designers" in tech and making a very valid critique of th…

Lots of interesting data, including "Daily Average Grubs"

I can say I've had similar experiences all across California with AirBnB.

These guys made an electric bike/scooter hybrid a few years back that had some buzz here in NYC before release, but just seems to have fizzled. I'd be curious to know what happened…

I think this is relevant, since it launched today and no one in the last 7 hours has provided context: https://www.urbancompass.com/ http://www.businessinsider.com/ori-allon-has-hi…

_why is both an attempt at a symbol and a person. Most of the interest around the persona was generated by the eccentricity in hiding as much as (if not more than) around the other…

Then how would you properly incentivize someone to come in to take a company out of such dire circumstances? Someone with the talent to take a 500M loss and reduce it to 10M certai…

I'd hardly call Dan a "very green" CEO. http://www.linkedin.com/in/danporter

I'm glad this happened in such a public way. I once heard him speak at a VC event about his firing practices with the same sort of attitude. I won't get into the details, but I was…

I think most of you are missing the point of the title ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal ). His suggestions are not meant to be taken seriously, and as others have p…

It actually wasn't single founder when YC funded them, Dan Albritton was the other founder. Really nice to work with them back in the day.

Be surprised. Living on the LES or Nolita can very easily be done on 75k without the 20 minute crowded commute on the L train. Plus there is quite a lot to do, I don't understand t…

All things aside, there seems to be more talk about Arrington than the possibility of racism in start-up culture. I see this as a very big win for his hype machine.

4 years and over 200k dollars seems like quite a bit. I understand being meticulous, but this is a bit absurd.

40% better?

Perhaps I'm spoiled by living in NYC, but I don't see a way that this could actually work here. San Francisco is a notoriously awful place to catch a cab, but I hardly see how taki…

Interesting. From what I recall, LucyPhone is based near you guys. You might want to link up, at least for a powwow. Mike is an awesome dude.

"The refer 3 friends for an invite" promotion is rather annoying considering you don't disclose anything about the product.

I'm rather impressed that this was started by someone with so few followers.

How does this stack up against something like AlchemyAPI ( http://www.alchemyapi.com/ ) which seem to roll in a lot more than simple sentiment analysis in a far more flexible produ…
