Scoble built his career around having an audience. Scoble is probably aware that preferential attachment plays a role in building an audience. Given this, Scoble had his own reasons for building an early audience on Google+. I don't know i

Rather than refuting all of the points above, I'd like to take the discussion in a different direction. You are against allowing people to use gold as money. Is it because you are trying to save people from themselves? Perhaps it's because

'0' has the decimal value 48, not zero. '!' has the decimal value 33. Here's a demo program that you can run from your browser: http://play.golang.org/p/qAKG9j5E4V All characters have values greater than or equal to zero.

There's insufficient data to draw conclusions about the performance of the infrastructure. The application probably ran on a shared machine. We don't know the impact of the other processes running on the machine. We don't know how many requ
