from the self-post dept.

I've got a luxury condo in downtown Palo Alto (two blocks from University Ave.) that I'm looking to turn into a startup office with desks, monitors, meeting rooms, whiteboards everywhere, even a couple beds for the late night hacking sessions. Contact me ASAP if interested.

from the ask-hn dept.

http://www.nfl.com/scoresFor example, for this URL, there is a section on the right for "Big Play Highlights" and the first one listed is "L.Brown 7-yard TD pass from..."It looks like this data is being loaded via some kind of AJAX call. Do you have any ideas on how I can scrape this stream of highlights data? I've never tried to scrape any dynamic content in the past.Ideas?

Do you really believe that the odds of success outside of the SF Bay area are equal to the odds of success in the Bay area?

Well said Diego. I think it's a testament to Manu's desire to be hands-on and actively involved in every company he backs. He wants to add value to everything he is involved with, and the best way he can do this is by being close to the companies he invests in.

I thought this video was pretty incredible. I was not a fan however, of the title of the article. I suppose given Forbes' readership it was appropriate, but I personally did not think it was fitting. I almost felt it shadowed the entrepreneurial spirit and the creativity of this kid.

What do you guys think?
