Never started a company either, but I think the key issue is barrier to entry. Facebook and Twitter have networks which are impossible to duplicate, and Google got a lot of money up front and used it to move really fast. In contrast, the

Since you agree that the factual assertion in the title is correct, what exactly do you mean when you accuse it of editorializing?

Fine by me, but I believe people involved with it value it at well over $200 million, which suggests a grander plan.

What is the best-case endgame for dropbox? I like it, but I don't understand why everyone's so excited about its potential.

Pretty sure this means the spammers "contacted" you. I had the same thing.

I use wikidroyd on my android phone. There may be something better by now, as I installed it a couple of years ago and haven't investigated since.

It sounds like a really interesting business. What do your customers use the python code for? Are they developers themselves?

The pressure on them to have a good website is stronger than for most startups, because they are selling a web development tool.

I hope some of the advice people have given here is helpful to you. It would be a lot easier to advise you effectively if you gave us some more details about specific experiences which have triggered the irritation, resentment and desire f

It's admirable and entirely understandable that they should want to move to a policy grounded in direct empirical evaluations. Beats the hell out of the current situation, and I bet if it was your responsibility you would do the same. Som

I voted up this thread because of this comment. (Bit tired of Taibbi, but your inside history is very interesting.)

Slightly OT: I'd be really interested to hear a list of specific advantages to using R over using scipy. I have been holding off on learning R for years because scipy has served my purposes pretty well so far, but sometimes I wonder what I

The definition of terrorist seems to have shifted. It used to refer to someone intent on fomenting terror in a population, but you seem to be using it to talk about soldiers in a combat situation.

I recently attended a talk at Cornell by a guy who is due to start working at Google soon. He had not started working there, but presumably he was hired on the basis of the work he described, and he was explicitly interested in applying hi

I would go work there just to try to find out what this vaunted decryption breakthrough is. Do we all have to stop relying on ssh to secure communications, or something?

Just started reading a history of the NSA [1], and it's very interesting. E.g., the execution of the Rosenbergs was a travesty of due process, but the US had secretly decrypted a message listing them as Soviet spies. Another example, a mi

I think a number of terrorists are going to be willing to figure out how to hook such a system up to a gun on a $300 RC quadrocopter. I hope it's a small number. It's going to be interesting.

An association should be treated with suspicion until it has been replicated in an independent sample. Even then, the association is based on deviation from a simple null model which is little more than a straw man, so its causal basis is
