For a business, do you think it's "bad" to proudly tout that you use AI for everything? I'll start by saying I know it depends on the target market, etc... but curious what this gr…

I'm black and I've worked with black youth to get them involved with tech and here's what I've found: Black youth don't necessarily need to find other black idols to look up to. Th…

LOL @ "It's not a big factor when we're judging applications". Because, it is a factor ... but, not a big one.

Hey Prayag, Wasn't implying that your service doesn't provide benefits. I actually believe the exact opposite to be true. What I'm saying is that it doesn't make sense for you guys…

Although this sounds like a decent idea, the challenge with it is that you're assuming a couple of things: 1) The start-up acquiring the lead list has the ability to progress the d…

Based on your comment, I'm going to assume you've never worked in B2B sales. "Lead Lists" are not something enterprises want to share - small or large.

Ha! I think the people who downvotted this didn't realize that "mjd" is Mark Jason Dominus aka the guy who wrote the blog post.

They themselves said "..this unreleased version caused issues" . That could be referring to anything - including service-overload issues but I don't know why that would be that sur…

I have read a fair amount of this thread and I still stand by what I said. Furthermore, for obvious reasons, I don't believe HN is an objective place to discuss the merits of PG's …

Look, I respect PG as much as the next person so this is not a slight against him since I feel HN far too often comes to his defence as if protecting their newborn. Having said tha…

> "5-20 minutes" - Sure. That does depend on where you are though. > "You have no idea who is picking you up" - 99% of the time this is a moot point. > "Often times they wont even …

So, you do all realize that this was an investment (of less than 10%) and not an acquisition right? Everyone here is talking about how this plays right into Google's plans - no. Wi…

Wait, did you just say that diet soda has "no calories" then proceed to call someone ignorant?

"Not everybody has 5 hours a day or a stay-at-home wife to cook their Whole Foods organic produce into a masterpiece of nutrition." ... you sir must live in the same age that your …

The title of this post is misleading because it implies that the USSR believed it was a hot dog stand. Either use the original title from the article or add the words "it was actua…

How did this post's title not get auto-modified?
