If that religious behavior led to products that people loved, is it really wrong to be religious about it? What's the alternative? Believe that you can't truly know anything and not build anything worthwhile?

As I've grown older, I've come to believe that holding strong opinions and being decisive is extremely important and impactful. It comes with the caveat though that as soon as you find you're wrong, you need to be able to change direction and not cling to your disproved beliefs.

I don't understand the hostility in this thread.

Willix - For those of us that aren't aware of freelancer, can you provide some numbers on the kind of growth this team has been able to achieve? Also, it will help to know some top performing growth tactics for you guys...examples as specific as the airbnb one would be great!

I just applied, You should too.
Re:Groupon Restates Revenue, Revenue Fell In Half, COO Exits on Friday September 23, 2011 @07:49PM (#3032034)
>> Groupon's business-professor cofounder, Eric Lefkofsky, has dumped about $382 million of his shares in the prior private financings.

It's important to know what percentage of his total shares he dumped to form an opinion on this.

Any clues on how Amazon identifies this kind of behavior?
Though I've admired the Groupon humor in their emails and PR, these ads just didn't seem funny...not sure what taste it leaves in the mouth...
Re:Why I Don’t Buy the Quora Hype on Sunday January 23, 2011 @12:14PM (#2132792)
The site-wide quality of answers matters less for Quora to be useful to an individual when you're following people rather than topics. You see answers upvoted by people you follow or answered by people you follow.

Quora will continue to work for the same reasons that Twitter does...I get tweets from people I follow, millions of bieber fans don't affect my twitter homepage.

Sure, but it's a great and insightful article...probably one of the best I've read on HN in a while
