So it's really targeting people who are already mad keen to execute their exciting vision, and saying: hang on, before committing too much, just test out your assumptions in a low-cost way. It's validation, not search. I think Ries has a

A fun thing about cliches is there's often one for both sides of an argument. e.g. birds of a feather flock together Humans tend to treat people as in an "in-group" or "out-group". The troop bands together against another troop. So w

Well, no real progress has been made in parallel programming in the decades of research (apart from the embarrassingly parallelizable), so we're probably going to have to give up something in our concept of the problem. But I really like

(From link in the submission) I like the way the MVP was done. I've felt uncomfortable about fake webpages that don't do what they say, but the way this was worded seems reasonable to me: http://blog.bufferapp.com/idea-to-paying-customers-

Someone said that passion is "love and anger together". Passion originally meant to suffer . It seems that passion (motivation) causes action, but it happens the other way too. You act, making some progress, and then you feel motivated.

From one of the external links ( http://www.jooq.org/ ), I like the idea of code generation, then importing them all with "*", so that you can use global fields as if they were keywords in the language. It's an effective way to build DSLs i

I was also surprised at their massive funding rounds too. Perhaps there's more room for growth than it seems... Or maybe they are perfectly positioned to provide the "fully cloud-hosted architecture" itself: technology experience and market

To be fair, the usual consequence for a project that loses its Author is to die. It seems that github could facilitate the migration of an "ownerless" project to a designated fork - including facilitating the selection of who has the design

I've long thought this, but there may be a problem... ARM processors probably can't get much faster without an unacceptable loss in battery life - for e.g., the iPhone/iPad are underclocked, and the Tegra 3 quad-core in the new Transformer

I like the spot price idea (in the comments http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/msg/fe9a05c6... ). It's similar to adwords' automatic auction for how close to the top your ad is, with the same benefits of getting the best mark
