Beyond the fact that it's open, there's also that you can tie in other JS libs- So you have a lib you really like, you can import it's functions into JS, and use them as part of your application.<p>And while I agree that you could hack up the HTML/JS, that'd get really hairy for complex stuff- Although I think some people are doing that now to break things up better into modules. | null | null | 4,507 | 4,402 | null | [

4,518 | comment | goodgoblin | 2007-03-16T02:53:08 | null | Another downside to incorporating as an LLC is that it makes it harder to try someone out when you are considering trading equity for services. If you want to see if a lawyer is going to be a good fit, or if a SEO person is going to really help you out, there is no immediate corrolary to vesting in an LLC. So it makes hiring fast/firing fast difficult to do. You don't want a large chunk of your company held up by someone if it turns out the designer you gave 2% in leui of cash to design your UI is actually a complete flake.

4,527 | comment | pg | 2007-03-16T06:06:08 | null | Yes, few professional investors would be interested. No matter what they claim about wanting to build long-lasting companies, the structure of VC funds requires them to have exits. <p>Interestingly, though, you'd also be out of luck with a lot of potential employees. The more ambitious ones want options that might make them rich. Without any prospect of an exit, you lose all the hotshots to competitors who offer such a prospect. That's why big, private tech companies are so rare. | null | null | 4,464 | 4,363 | null | null | null | null |

If you take a look at their application, it's near-idenical to Y Comb's. If they can't be bothered to write their own _app_, I'm not convinced that their program is anywhere near well thought-out.<p>Plus, YC understands young hackers and the startup community like no other group of individuals I've ever come across.

4,564 | comment | jwecker | 2007-03-16T12:59:17 | null | re: APIs. dBASE is the classic example of how to utilize this (and how to ruin it later).<p>"Ed Esber, CEO of one-time database giant Ashton-Tate and makers of dBASE, became the target of such enmity from the dBASE development community. Esber owed his fortune to the developers of third-party dBASE products who took his usability-deficient product and created applications that people could actually operate. This didn't stop him embarking on an RIAA-style litigation campaign. At a Software Publish Association conference, Esber declared to a group of dBASE developers "Make my day!" while threatening to sue anybody who dared build a dBASE-compatible product."<p>( <a href="http://www.hacknot.info/hacknot/action/showEntry?eid=58">http://www.hacknot.info/hacknot/action/showEntry?eid=58</a> )<p>There was a time when there were dozens and dozens of companies who primarily added functionality to Ashton Tate's product, rather than competing with Ashton Tate. | null | null | 4,412 | 4,411 | null | null | null | null |

4,573 | comment | Leonidas | 2007-03-16T14:08:38 | null | Thanks for the post. I've always enjoyed reading other entrepreneur's viewpoint on things. A lot of people have doubted POF's success but why focus on whether you think his strategy is working? I'd rather focus on what he's doing right, what his users like and what they don't. <p>Quite fascinating artile. Thanks Staunch.<p> | null | null | 4,553 | 4,553 | null | null | null | null |

After all, the people behind Y cominator would want the best ideas/teams to get funding and the fairest way to do that would be to take a look at all applications at the same point. So my guess is, they'll wait until the deadline passes, review all applications and then give out their responses. | null | null | 4,578 | 4,578 | null | [

I'd be shocked if he didn't come to a presentation with PPT slides & Excel chart combination. :)<p>On a more serious note, I think the idea that PPT slides full of text are helpful is basically entrenched in corporate culture.

4,583 | comment | imp | 2007-03-16T15:24:58 | null | I think the biggest reason to upgrade to a 2.0 type forum is to avoid losing your users to a new site that is 2.0. Specifically, I'm thinking of the migration of users from Slashdot to Digg/Reddit. In fact, the term "slashdotted" might take on new meaning if these popular 1.0 sites get displaced by new 2.0 sites. | null | null | 4,476 | 4,476 | null | null | null | null |
4,584 | comment | mynameishere | 2007-03-16T15:55:47 | null | _Problem Area 3: Mouse precision
...
Windows Vista scored a Mouse Precision Error Coefficient of 0.52, compared with 0.40 for Windows XP, and 0.08 (!) for Mac OS X_<p>Not even sure how to approach this in a critical way. It reminds me of the sort of made-up, seemingly-mathmatical, but ultimately befuddling stats that you sometimes here in infomercials for copper-wrist band arthritis cures.<p>The windows mouse pointer seems to work on a pixel-by-pixel basis, when moving slowly. Not sure what kind of precision they are after. And if there was some serious problem, then gamers, who 1) Rely upon precise mouse movements and 2) Have low transition costs, would have moved to Macs a long, long, long time ago. | null | null | 4,421 | 4,421 | null | null | null | null |
