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.

>> 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.

>>I cannot believe we're the only family like this

You certainly aren't..They actually have a tab called "Just for kids"

I'd love to hear PG's take on this.

I strongly recommend looking at the other answers to the question: http://www.quora.com/Whats-the-most-epic-photo-ever-taken

Honest question - can someone explain the value proposition for investors and potential business models for humble bundle?

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...

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

Thanks.

The first chapter there is very insightful - http://heathbrothers.com/switch/chapterone.php

Why is Facebook getting distracted with this? Facebook has so much going for itself, why censor a 2 men company and cause all the negative PR?

Though this article is about Politics, it gives us insight into how legacy can be different from reality at times...or almost always

Interesting how a nsfw link makes it to the top of HN between 9:30 and 10:30 AM :-)

"Don't be evil" must be one of the biggest PR regrets of Google. Everything they do today is measured up to that

Another perspective:

jl: Is it possible to upload the founders at work series to itunes? I usually listen to podcasts on my drive to and from work on the iphone...I'd guess there are others like me

It might be savvy marketing. With the attention this post is getting, someone from Apple would probably contact them soon

Andrew, How about an HN-like board where people can up-vote any questions posted by other users in the live chat room. You can have a section in the interview where the top voted questions can be asked
