This was an incredibly enriching read. It's too sad that such an article results in much fewer comments on HN than less insightful but more provocative ones. My main question is, since this was published in 2009, has anyone tried to apply these recommendations? And if so, what has been the result? A priori it sounds like a very plausible model, but it needs to be tested.
