In the late 90s, I started a cloud-type hosting provider, with an angel round $100k+, dropping out of university. The dotcom crash happened and raising more money became near impos…

Good question. Google Tag Manager is about improving marketing and tracking tag/pixel performance. These scripts shouldn't do document.write too much. We don't recommend putting ta…

Hi, I think that for complex sites you have a good point on letting anyone publish tags. Fortunately, it's possible to allow users just to view and edit tags - and not publish them…

Under the Google Tag Manager Terms of Service, the account holder owns the data. We don't do anything with that data without your consent and Google Tag Manager collects very littl…

It's a fair concern - we recommend using just Google Tag Manager (synchronous and lightweight) code to fire all your other tags asynchronously. So in most cases, where you call mor…

I think the initial implementation can be tricky (we'd recommend a Google Analytics Certified Partner to help), though once that is done, our initial experience is that adding tags…

Hi I manage this product here at Google (for the USA). We think that it should speed up site loading (in most cases) by asynchronously wrapping your other synchronous and asynchron…

A great idea - though this may be confusing, potentially vs. YCombinator? Perhaps consider a different name - socialisingStartups.com ?

Also good, but the last line doesn't work (in my opinion): to get from 0x1 to 1 you need to undo the x0, i.e. dividing by 0. Which is undefined ... Zero, confusing 10 year olds for…

I successfully managed to explain 3^0 to 10 year olds (as a recovering high school math teacher) as: 3^2 = 9 3^1 = 3 (divide 9 by 3) 3^0 = 1 (divide 3 by 3) 3^-1 = 1/3 (divide 1 by…

Appears down from the UK at around 11pm BST Sunday, unfortunately!

I always recommend 'other' and 'none' options for practically all HN polls. Not everyone is employed. Some people have unusual relationships (internships?).

Great idea, some questions... Can we have a vote on this? How will this be enforced? What's PG's take on this?

I'd rather sell my textbooks for money (perhaps I don't like beer). I can then choose to buy wine, more books, cigarettes, course fees ... That said, it's kind of a neat way to fin…

Google Analytics does not track user behaviour across domains and sites, unless those domains and sites are specifically linked. Google Analytics uses a 1st-party cookie set by the…

Can we have a 'None of the above' and an 'Other' option? Great poll, though we may be missing some information here.

There are a lot of suspiciously low-karma and recently created accounts commenting on this.

What about an 'I am not involved or particularly interested in startups', and an 'Other' option? (This is in the interests of fairness and not out of any personal bias.)

Do you have reason to doubt the validity of this particular survey? I personally can't see significant problems of this over any survey technique. There are problems with questionn…

In playing this Game, Players acknowledge that it is a game of chance, that the outcome of a Play in the Game is pre-determined by the Interactive System at the point of purchase, …

Can you give specific examples where the search returns a lot of spammy content?

I switched from AltaVista because Google.com was faster and less full of spam. I still think that is the case compared to other search engines for common searches. That being said,…
