http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_national_product I can't tell if you are being sarcastic. 15 trillion, in it's secret double life, looks suspiciously like 15,000,000,000,000.

If the constraints must allow for traction to start with 'a single web developer anywhere in the world', then I agree that significantly reduces the markets available. Energy, comp…

Disagreeing with people is not an ad hominem. Nor is being disagreeable for that matter... I was dismissive and probably impolite. I apologized. You didn't answer my question, so I…

My apologies if you were offended, I didn't think that I was particularly aggressive. Certainly not compared to what is possible... I think I understood your argument, I just disag…

If the goal to stay small and unfunded, I still take the position that you should look for the largest market you can realistically provide solutions for. A single programmer writi…

What makes you believe that an MVP will be more salable in a small market? I see no model or evidence to support this thinking. I also believe you are too focused on 'minimal' at t…

Your intuition is not entirely correct. Competition and the size of the market are not always correlated. The superior strategy is to maximize returns against efforts, not minimize…

Nothing about what has been built or blogged makes me believe this person really understands products or markets. The logic of the points that are being made is flawed, starting wi…

Interesting information that I'm genuinely interested in but the execution and delivery leave me scratching my head. The operating system and web server graphs make no sense. mod_s…

the link isn't just down, the domain is not resolving for me now

I really like the high level concept, but I dislike the poke the mutable state, disregard Demeter, nested if-else style of programming that the warrior api encourages. Don't take i…

The author edited the post since my response. I used the word lifestyle because that was the word he used. There are a lot of options. Infinite options. There is also a big differe…

I couldn't disagree more. In this case, being more specific is only going to multiply the gossip and opinion. There is more than enough data in the google doc to support a discussi…

That is sort of the point, chasing funding can be a huge distraction. If an incubator can't provide significant advantages to doing so, what are they helping with? In some circumst…

Sounds like a great opportunity. Rock out. If the incubator is specifically trying to develop lifestyle business in Chile, win and win. With the possible reservation that if you tr…

These things are not mutually exclusive. Most incubators can be ghettos AND there can be too many. While I partially support the algae bloom theory, I am asserting there are compan…

There are some things my discretion says should not be made publicly specific. While everyone is entitled to have different sensibilities, I don't understand why you would refuse t…

I agree that is very valuable, and there are other valuable aspects of the incubator experience that are omitted as well. This schedule pressure and the support of colleagues can c…

a) once popular catch phrase? because of Zed? granted it's hyperbolic and cliche, but most titles are, by design b) If you want to discuss in private, I can give names and numbers.…

Defensible position supported with logic. I might even go a step further an add that in some sense Facebook has already been publicly traded on secondary markets for some time. For…

looks like a list with no real data for most of them

I have looked at the numbers for YC and Techstars, but after that I can find very little public info. http://yclist.com/ http://www.techstars.com/companies/results/ I'm interested …
