Most, if not all jurisdictions no longer allow automated calls directly to dispatch (911).

Most shootins are done with handguns and not rifles statistically - and those are much much easier to conceal.

What happens to false positives? Are you increasing a chance of a kid with a "tactical umbrella" being shot?

but yay! more surveilance and cameras!

That severance package is quite generous. "Why can't everyone have a cusshion" = because someone has to pay for it.

Tier seems to be solving a real problem that every company beyond MVP stage will face.

What I would love to see is a tool that would make it easy to run multi-variant pricing experiments and give me the optimal pricing down to geo, platform etc. "Optimal" being the maximum cash collected.

I have no special love for big oil, but for a decade G7 governments have worked on limiting the production and transportation of oil (look at pipeline projects in Canada and USA for example). Each oil extraction operation requires tens of millions of dollars to start and run with a closing window of time to recoup the investment.

On the other side, we have people yelling foul due to "record profits" I mean, yeah, nominally they are higher but they are not outpacing the inflation.

Also, it's easy to forget that when you pay $2.30 cents per liter here in Canada, literally 50% of that is various government taxes (provincial and federal) so when the state basically controls extraction, transportation and to a large extent pricing at the gas station - it's a little bit too convenient to blame the oil companies.

You want to have total transparency. It makes sense. The "secret" of the industry is that dealers are not in the car selling business, they are in the financing business.

Currently there is a lot of asymmetry of information between the dealer and a consumer. How do you know that the dealer is giving you the best offer from a lender vs. a bit worse offer from a lender they have a relationship with?

You should pivot. This is more useful as a joke generator.

Some angel groups have extensive pitch training and coaching programs attached to them and there I can see some justification for pitch charges but only if those charges are deducted from a successful raise. If the company does not raise funds, obviously the coaching failed and it would be wrong to charge anything.

Unfortunately in most cases in Canada there is no coaching or training of any kind - just a fee that taxes already cash-strapped entrepreneurs.

I am biased (full disclosure - I'm a founder), but TitanFile offers a secure file sharing solution (encryption, audit trails...) . There are free accounts available for new users at titanfile.com.

I bought one, had it for two weeks and crawled back to iOS. Phone as a phone is very solid and beautiful, but Windows Mobile 8 is still a disaster.

Doing a factory reset (regular, honest-to-god, get in the menu and select a reset) bricked the phone. And it seems to be common bug. Microsoft is blaming Nokia and Nokia is Blaming Microsoft....

Shit, better put my tinfoil hat back on :)

Very cool :) Thanks for the link

I wonder what are the policies for cell phones?

Looks great on ipad.

"upload -> store -> share."

Upload where and for how long? What happens to the files over time? What about huge files and ability to pause/resume upload? What about encryption? What about sharing with more that one person at the time? Will it allow me to preview a file before I download it?

Saying " upload -> store -> share." is oversimplifying as " upload -> store -> share" does not work for anyone who is using file sharing to conduct professional services (think of a law firm with bounced emails because the 5Mb attachment was too big, or a law firm that needs to receive email notification on file delivery etc.)

For most investors, it's about making money. Making money by controlling a niche. Each of the funded File Sharing startups that got funded I came across, had these two components:

1.) Clear advantage in a specific Niche (for us it was legal compliance, security and tracking - all of it matters a lot to lawyers and auditors).

2.) Have a serious (and usually viable) plan to further differentiate.

What is the readership number of hacker monthly?

He is talking about Entrepreneur Magazine. Yes, Entrepreneur Magazine sues Entrepreneurs for use of the word.

Let's repeat that again; Entrepreneur Magazine is a magazine that sues entrepreneurs.

Someone is squatting on Hustle.com That would be a cool name.

I will give you hipstartup.com if you want a shorter (better?) name.

EDIT: LOL, I offer a free domain name and get downvoted :P gotta love HN.

EDIT2: Now, to troll, everyone is upvoting me :)

In soviet Russia, entrepreneur funds you.
