I'd caution against taking the Republican's word that they want a 'small government'. History contradicts this assertion -- the last 3 republican administrations increased the budget deficit. I think Republicans want to allocate funding d

One thing I always wondered with Backbone, since views are kept in memory, is there a performance penalty after some number of views are instantiated? If I've got a e-commerce store and a user wants to browse through 40 products, it seems l

I don't think this is going to work very well via a third party. This is something Airbnb has to offer themselves.

I thought I'd take the liberty post a comment from a user in the techcrunch comments. I'm curious to hear reaction from those more familiar with telephony than I am. <comment> PhonoSDK ( http://phono.com ) is a far superior implem

I love how this post both educates and serves as a great ad for your product. Kudos. How far along was your product when you were raising? Were you making any significant revenue at the time?

Why don't you just call one repo "Archive" and put all your old stuff in there.

While we wait for this, are there any open source examples of well designed HTML5/jquery ipad web apps?

Completely offtoic from your central point, but I really dislike the word "nonplussed". It's a meaningless word without context as it can mean one thing or the complete opposite.

To be fair, he has every reason not to piss you off. I found the Caterina Fake situation peculiar at best, and the GroupMe scenario (which I'm just reading about now) is really not cool.

A few media outlets including http://twitter.com/#!/TheNextWeb have claimed this means Zynga has a $1 Billion valuation. That's not true. Zynga is RAISING $1 billion. Some of the stock will not be available on the IPO day.

I'm not a good designer by any means, but I've learned a lot by finding sites I like and just poring over their CSS to find out why they did what they did.

He's in the perfect position to complain. The role of Bloomberg the businessman is independent of Bloomberg the public servant. He can sell overpriced software as a businessman all he wants, but once he becomes mayor his responsibility is

What would you consider a successful financial exit from the company? Reverse what you would have to sell the company for to hit that number along with 3 other cofounders (and it seems you are not a primary equity holder). IMHO, 4 persons

What specifically do you disagree with? I think the startup ecosystem is woefully lacking in negative outcome posts like these. It's fun to write about your awesome traction, your latest funding round, but it's painful and bitter to write

Any security researchers have link to a study detailing the prevalence of security lapses among a large sample of websites? I hear about these attacks, and I'd be curious to know how vulnerable the sites I visit are.

Theft from whom? Presumably the investors who paid them $41M did more due diligence and know more about the company than any of us. It's possible that this was a bad investment decision, but it certainly isn't theft.

Your first point on adverse selection is by far the biggest reason. An entrepreneur at 27 or 28, will be working his/her ass off to build a business. We ultimately have a very limited window in which to pursue starting a business, and sim

out of curiosity, how were the founders able to raise at this level with no product? Did they have a pre-existing relationship with the financiers?

Why not just mandate citizens donate a small portion of their income to charity instead of getting federal funding? The IRS could make this happen over-night, in relative terms.

You guys could probably find a job without too much trouble. So if all they're offering you is a job I'd say no. Until they bring cash/equity to the table, I wouldn't take the offer seriously.

If an incident like this occurs two more times this year, the company could be in real trouble. Their target customers are on Twitter/Facebook and will probably hear about this fiasco.

Reading the suit, a lot of the evidence that Tilenius recruited Bedier was based on the content of Facebook messages and text messages. Anyone know how they got access to these supposedly private communication? Case in point: "Tilenius rea

It would probably be less than 5% since they typically come in at 6% and get diluted along the way when VCs come in later.
