aurelius83··on Fake Reviewers Snared in NY Attorney General Yogurt Sting
I find it very worrisome that the government views online anonymous postings on a private website as advertisement to be enforced by public agencies.

But, I guess it's no different than the government regulating anonymous online speech about stocks.

aurelius83··on From a Mailchimp email and Wufoo form to $25k in 3 months
Pretty interesting. I wonder if that is 25k per month, in total revenue, gross profit etc.
aurelius83··on Russia's Mark Zuckerberg offers Snowden a job.
What exactly is your definition of evil? This seems like such a hyperbolic statement.

Which would you consider a higher priority?
aurelius83··on Andrew Mason's album "Hardly Workin'" now available
" I've probably listened to the album over a dozen times now, and with each spin I feel like I learn something."

That's sort of an awkward statement to make as the creator.

aurelius83··on How We Hit $912 Million in Sales
Hmm. The article is a bit ambiguous. Does he mean he started out with only 1,000 in capital? Or did he only have 1,000 dollars in sales.
aurelius83··on The Terrifying Reality of Long-Term Unemployment
"In other words, the first thing employers look at is how long you've been out of work, and that's the only thing they look at if it's been six months or longer."

This seems intuitive to me. With the large number of people applying to jobs, there has to be a way to quickly filter resumes down.

It's unfortunate, but HR probably decided that six months or longer is probably a signal that there is something wrong with the applicant. Because of the vast amount of resumes being sent in, they can afford to miss out on the diamond in the rough that is hidden among the mass of resumes of people out of work for 6 months or longer.

So basically, this seems like a widget to me. What am I missing?
aurelius83··on Why my startup failed
"Marketplaces need a big disconnect between buyers and sellers".

This is an interesting statement. I'm not sure I quite understand it though. Can you elaborate further?

It seems to me that you are saying that if buyer and seller know each other then they would eschew the market for a more intimate trading arrangement.
