Another reply to my comment has disputed the claim but on a different reason. Sweden is saying they're happy to do the interview now - they weren't previously - in the UK now but can't …

I read in an article posted here yesterday that the reason for the stalemate is that Ecuador is demanding Sweden make statements to the effect that Assange is in a legal asylum at the embassy. Sweden …

Do you currently report how much cash is in the bank and your corresponding runway to your employees? It is hard to do at the best of times, particularly hard when things are tight to balance transpar…

GoDaddy is hiring a front end engineer in Sunnyvale/San Francisco or remote. We're a new product in the GoDaddy ecosystem to connect WordPress developers to our 13m small business customers.…

It's hard to boil the ocean. I think this makes sense for the first release (they're fresh out of YC after all). Kind of like how TripleByte are focusing on those who can work in SF and recr…

You would be surprised. Dropbox for one does these kinds of deals all the time. That said they wouldn't care about anyone other than the 2 engineers and any designers on board.

I don't really see it being true yet but I think it's coming. Right now if you're based in SV you can hire the best talent in the world, pay them a fortune and build something great. In…

and I just realised I don't give artists enough credit as business-people.

Disclaimer: I am not a programmer. I found mentors in positions that I aspired to be in and would take them out for coffee or lunch once a year to check in and get input on particular problems. I'…

I think better than the social media marketing blog or building and selling a product would be to find someone else's product you can help grow. Like Noah you can find an old master to train unde…

I'm not so sure about that. As a product manager I wish I had spent more time on either learning to program or preferably designing interfaces for product ideas that I had. I did some of this stu…

The Internet is less finite than real estate?

What other property rights should be under your "use it or lose it proposal"? Land? Housing?

Likewise an artist can choose not to have their music on the service.

It's not impossible. If there isn't a safe distance to pass a cyclist you have to wait until there is a safe distance.
comment
Judging 45 miles per hour is a lot different (and difficult) than knowing how far three feet is. I think the device is used partly as education, partly as a method for capturing the exact distance. It…

I would probably hire a freelancer on ODesk. Pay $3-$5 an hour, probably get it knocked over in a couple of days. Hire two at once if you want to confirm the entries.

We hear a lot about Chinese attacks on the US but virtually nothing about the opposite, which undoubtably does happen. Reading the wiki page on "Cyberwarfare" there are sections on each coun…

It's a tough problem to solve but Virgin Galactic have claimed they will be ready for passengers "in less than 2 years) every year since they launched. In 2004.
comment
I can't reply to your last comment for some reason but there was a mutual NDA in place. I think they needed it more than us to be honest, they were effectively opening up their corporate roadmap …

We ran them through the front end of our product and how it works from top to tail, discussing why we made certain product decisions. Almost everything they could have seen as a user of our app but a …

Recently went through this. They first reach out for some kind of "we're looking to do something in this space and wanted to discuss working with you". Our first conversation was along …

Well they just got a cash injection from selling Path & Path Talk so I can imagine that should help support 40+ headcount for a little while. Along with the $25m they raised a year ago.

This would fall under the DMCA. So long as the publisher took down the material when notified it was an infringement, following their DMCA procedures.

I highly doubt it.
