3,102 | null | comment | dfranke | 1,173,428,877 | Right. That's what I meant by "spammers correlate with each other". I'd be very surprised if content-based filtering were useful for catching voting rings. You can use graph-theoretic metrics to catch them, but unlike spammers, identifying one doesn't obviously help you identify others. | null | 3,095 | null | [

3,110 | null | comment | davidw | 1,173,431,998 | I'm very curious about this tsumobi thing, as it's basically exactly what Hecl is ( http://www.hecl.org ). I'd sort of abbandoned it as an idea for making any money with directly, though, figuring the advantage was just to be able to develop applications a lot faster. I was able to prototype ShopList ( http://shoplist.dedasys.com ) in a few minutes with it, for example.<p>Edit: BTW, I'd certainly be interested in chatting with the Tsumobi folks. It's a good idea - perhaps there are elements in common that can be reused from/added to Hecl, which is open source under a very liberal license, meaning you can take it and include it even in 'commercial' apps.<p>I really think that the 'common' bits in a space like that have to be either free or open source (think about browsers, html, javascript, java applets, etc...), and that that's not where the money is. | null | 3,098 | null | [

In fact, I am going to go ahead and recommend it to my EE friends.<p>Auctomatic: I am not a power user on eBay, but from the sound of it, this startup really has something going for them.

3,144 | null | comment | python_kiss | 1,173,439,525 | The best way to build a company is not by going after an existing category, but by creating a new category you can be first in. In the struggle for life, no two startups can occupy the same position. If they try to do so, one company will drive the other to extinction.<p>Now this does not mean that you can go ahead and invent some "obscure niche". A startup that serves a market too small and of little interest may never gain the traction to reach a tipping point.<p>Competition is a good thing. It takes a George Foreman to make a Muhammad Ali. Strong competition validates the smaller player. I will go as far as to suggest that without Digg, Reddit would've had a difficult time gaining wide angle attention from the blogosphere. However, competition should be avoided where it makes sense. In other words, don't consciously look for it. | null | 3,128 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

3,154 | null | comment | robertgaal | 1,173,442,825 | This is a problem I have right now in my current start-up, Wakoopa.<p>We're currently working on a thematic social site, which will launch in about a month. We've had a small investor gives us some seed money, which could last us for about a year. We both have our personal laptops to develop it. I use a 17" Acer, my partner has a 13" Macbook. He sometimes uses an extra screen, property of another company at our shared office, a 20". This ofcourse saves him a lot of stress and lets him develop somewhat faster.<p>We'd like to buy him an extra screen of course, but is this really fitting for a small start-up that isn't earning money yet? We've got the budget, but should it be tapped into? And of course: who pays for this thing? Should we just order it through our company and forget about it, or do we hold it in on my partners (very modest) salary? <p>This all has to do with your personal guidelines and budget, but what do you guys think? Buy the thing and be done with it, or be more thoughtful of what you spend in such an early stage? | null | 3,152 | null | [

3,167 | null | comment | danw | 1,173,447,349 | True, getting stuff running on 'dumb' phones like the razr is crucial. Wonder if python could run on top of javame? I would anticipate it be very slow. | null | 3,151 | null | [

3,174 | null | comment | pashle | 1,173,449,149 | Jobs' speech is about 1.5 years old. It's probably a classic for this audience, but the few who've slipped through the cracks must not be denied this utterly inspiring speech. We should be so lucky to one day be able to give a speech that chronicles a life of amazing achievements. Don't focus so much on whether what he's saying is true, of if you think he's this or that. All that matters is that if you feel something deep within you move, listen to THAT. <p>Also, here's the YouTube video of the speech - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1R-jKKp3NA<p>Do enjoy! | null | 3,173 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

3,178 | null | comment | Alex3917 | 1,173,451,548 | IIRC, Seth Godin was a CS major in college though.<p>Don't forget, hacker originally meant someone who crawled around in steam tunnels. It really just means someone who explores and takes stuff apart because they want to learn how it works. That could be code, could be social systems. | null | 2,847 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
3,182 | null | comment | PindaxDotCom | 1,173,452,788 | Always buy what you need to get the job done. If you're doing a web startup then you need the hardware and software.

3,179 | null | comment | zaidf | 1,173,451,803 | I read this a couple times a month ever since I ran into it.<p>What I like about Jobs is that he has a story of ups and downs which better reflects the reality of the average entrepreneur than a one way constant linear progression. | null | 3,173 | null | [

What is the breakdown in company ownership? Certainly not 50/50 or even 60/40, I would think. | null | 2,841 | null | [

A lot of his ideas has since been appropriated by others, so it's not entirely fresh. Still, there are some good things in that book that you won't find anywhere else. He has this huge list of people who told famous entrepreneurs their ideas sucked. Like, "I think there's a world market for maybe 5 computers." But about 100 of those quotes in a row. Including the quote where he turns down the chance to be CEO of Yahoo! because "there's no money in search and the commute is too far." :-) | null | 2,820 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

3,187 | null | comment | python_kiss | 1,173,454,062 | YC represents a good demographic of undergrads, grads, and recently graduated students so I think it's a pretty good place to start it. Moreover, Facebook opened up to everyone two months ago.<p>Alternatively, if Danw prefers, we can start a YC group on my social network instead (Shuzak.com).

3,195 | null | comment | jwecker | 1,173,456,882 | a photo upload per user so you can pick out someone you know here in a crowd, and a simple message queue (per user) would probably do it, imo. | null | 3,193 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

3,196 | null | comment | danw | 1,173,456,907 | I'm not sure if the facebook group is even going to be usefull apart from making it easier to find/contact other users. Now that we have an about field on profiles it will be easier to contact people. Anyone who wants to be contacted can stick a url/email in the field.<p>Perhaps the ability to send messages to users? Or to add people as 'friends'? There are some people who consistently add article that I like and it would be great if I could add them as a 'friend' and then look at a 'your friends submitted articles' page that would aggregate all the stories and perhaps comments submitted by the people on my friends list. It would let people look at new articles being submitted without being deluged like in the current 'new' page.<p>Anyone else think this feature would be good and actually used by us? | null | 3,193 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
