Pokémon is also a high volume business but is reaching 30 years in 2026. Keeping alive a trend for so long is impressive. Jean-Claude Biver (watch personality) famously said: « people want exclusivity, so you must always keep the customer hungry and frustrated ».

Several forms of "census suffrage" exist.

I see them doing with the Internet industry what they have done with the Financial industry.

- What are they doing: force smaller companies to die or be bought by bigger ones.

- How are they doing that: They keep adding regulation so that fix costs and complexity to manage a company increase.

- Why are they doing that: having a lot of smaller companies is difficult and expensive to control. Usually it is impossible. Having a few big companies is easier and cheaper to control (you only need to book a room and invite a few ceos to regulate everything).

The fun part is that companies like Google, Apple, etc fake a fight against the regulators, but are actually the 2nd beneficiaries (1st being the regulators).

If you speak with seniors in the financial industry, they will talk about it with passion and anger because they can provide countless practical examples which killed their industry and the "joy" to wake up in the morning.

As an exemple, you can see how JP Morgan seems to fight regulation and make it appear to be a victim of regulation, but finally is always the winner.

Thank you! Actually, they could also take this strategy to protect kids from adult/violent/sensitive content. I suspect their strategy is to replicate, with Internet, what they have done with the Financial industry. So it should not be considered as incompetence... on the contrary.

Ambiance was different compared to today: https://twitter.com/TikTokInvestors/status/16151898803212410...

Whatsapp had 35 engineers for 450M users at the time of its acquisition by FB (2014). It had 50 engineers for 900M users (2015).

As a reminder, Whatsapp had *35* engineers for 450M users at the time of its acquisition by FB (2014). It had *50* engineers for 900M users (2015).

Forget that hypster hype.

The problem is not the position but the length working in the same position. Whatever position.

If you stand the whole day, your legs will suffer (ask people working in shops); in the long run you will have "heavy legs" issue. You may lower the effects with a proper setup of your bed (feet should be 2-4 cm higher).

The only real solution: * A good physical activity: cardio + strengthening the muscle for "body protection". * Streching all the muscle groups.

In economy, if you want to avoid bubbles/pyramid burst, you have to check who is investing (as stated by Warren Buffet)?:

The three "I" actors: - "I"nnovators: Time to invest - "I"mitators: Time to be careful - "I"diots: Time to leave

The key to success is to spot when the ecosystem's actors are switching from the 2nd to the 3rd category.

Ponzi Scheme are everywhere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITMEZImvNio (Slow/questionable start... because he is trapping the guy)

The real dev hates Internet Explorer (especially 6) because of all the designers who: - have no clue what KISS means - invent CSS, DOM and JS hacks - sum a collection of hacks in their code - do not read the technical papers about their environment (the browser)

Please complete the list if I am missing some. ;)

A browser is like a girl, you should take it as is and not force it to do what you want to. :)

Cars kills every minute, the car section should be shut down!

People believing that the prostitution issue will be solved through craigslist section shut down, should learn what 5 whys root cause analysis is...

This sounds like first level solution, what about the other ones?

Emotional topic. Difficult (half)-solutions.

(No offense) All the answers make no sense. How can you advise a country with so few information about the start-up?

Dimensions to assess that would totally change the selected country:

- A start-up in which business domain?

- What will you sell?

- Who are your targeted customer? Where are they located?

- Where are you main competitors?

- Where is the best "ecosystem" in your domain that could help you/partnership with?

- Do you need some VCs?

- Tax optimization requirements?

- What is your "exit strategy"?

Hint: be located close to your competitors, partners and of course... customers.

Yeah yeah mister ponziMLMspammeridontdoanythingbutearnsomuchwhatever.

So now we know who they will blame for the next security issue. :p

Honestly there is not enough information to provide you good advice.

There is no ONE approach to sell whatever website / company / solution. The strategy will depend on the nature of the assets you want to "sell" (your expertise, employees, code, customers, etc.), your potential customers (an entrepreneur, a medium company, a Fortune 500 company, ...), your balance sheet, etc.

So my advice would be to analyze your situation and try to identify someone who already sold his company with a similare situation and contact him. For sure (s)he will be happy to share his/her experience. Also, you could find some VC or investor and just invite him/her for a lunch and have a productive talk (it worked amazingly well for me).

Has the IE haters understood that Chrome is the biggest threat to Firefox and not IE?

IE will still be deployed in Fortune 500 companies for years because Microsoft work closely with them.

Chrome has all I need: speed and addons. All the great addons for developping have been ported.

Why should I use FF?

About resolution: 24" - 1920 x 1200, 27" - 2560 x 1440

For me the most important number is the height resolution as I can display more lines.

Having more screens is also a source of distraction. I prefer to focus on a single task and switch to an other if I need to.

Good point!

However, for coding, you can display a lot more lines with a 27" than a 2*24" config.

BTW, many duplicate text detector algorithms are not fooled by this kind of transformation.

I use cosine similarity and it works fine for my needs. ;)

Google Translate is not bijective. ;)

I doubt solving a puzzle is a good idea for the conversation rate. It would be interesting to see some A/B testing results...

Bad idea.

As a classified ad owner (2nd largest in my country), doing so would only give a chance to a newcomer.

The problem is to charge for the first penny... http://redeye.firstround.com/2007/03/the_first_penny.html
