Ya, agreed. The second one was nowhere near as good as the first. Also have been wondering when new courses will come out. I finished the first two in two days (one each day) and was disappointed there weren't any more. It's been about a month since I last used it and there haven't been any new courses added.
Just curious if Dropbox had a MVP? If so, what was it? Was it ready and launched by Demo Day? Was it a purely free model, or were they already going with the freemium model at launch?
What I do is give my brother my password for Steam and not keep a copy for myself. When I am busy, I just log out of Steam and I can't play any games until I ask my brother for the password.
Cut your costs down to just rent plus servers. Keep only the technical people plus yourself. Have everyone work for free in exchange for equity until you see traction. The ones that believe in the company and the idea enough will do it.
Thanks for the clarification. So it has to be some sort of verbally transmitted code (ie. a phrase) since it's used over the radio? That pretty much takes out almost all the guesses posted here so far.
Someone posted on the original article that "You cannot recall smells..." That is one possibility. Pandarus could give Manelaus a bottle of a very specific perfume that Pandarus was familiar with. If Pandarus smelled the perfume in the future, he would know it was Manelaus. But if captured, he would not be able to remember the perfume's smell -- at least not in a specific enough way to reproduce it.
Ya, I'm wondering that myself. Or it could mean that Pandarus gave Menaleus a way for Menaleus to identify himself (Menaleus) to others. If so, then it could be something unique to Menaleus such as his finger print. Menaleus could use his finger print as an identity check and Pandarus would have no way to remember Menaleus' finger print.
If I were Google, I would have done it. Offered $2B and taken the 2-year deal with Hulu. Match it up with YouTube, grow it as big as possible, and completely dominate online video to the point of creating a monopoly. At that point, you'd have leverage to negotiate with the studios -- yes they have the content, but you'd have the distribution (think iTunes and record labels). If they don't deal with you and try to launch something separate, they'd have no traffic. And there'd be no real competition on bidding from third parties as they'd likely already have been wiped out by the YouTube/Hulu combo.
I usually ask to meet up in a very central place for coffee. And to save on time, I usually group a bunch of meetings back to back at the exact same spot.
