I think life is very much like a prisoner's dilemma. Yes, it would suck if everyone did it, but since not everyone does.. you might as well do it for your own personal gain.

For the record, I'm Chinese and have tried Oolong Pu-erh, Ginseng, Green tea, etc. and still would opt for Lipton anyday. It has the best taste:convenience ratio.

$120,000 per day is just short of 4 million a month, hardly anything to cry about when people are valuing your company at a billion dollars. Yes, it is more than 1 person makes in 3-4 years, bu Twitter is not exactly a 1-man company. And th

But focusing on the negative really isn't constructive and will only lead to bitterness. Looking on the positive side helps you get back up and try again.

I agree, noone is perfect, but there's clearly something admirable we can learn from this guy.

Personally, I am building an app for the iPhone first because of public perception and marketing. It seems more people write and review iPhone apps versus Android apps - you can just tell when they start Android review articles with a tone

The chances are pretty low a scraper would hit multiple unrelated Cloudflare websites since Cloudflare is only used in very very few websites... Scrapers usually are interested in particular websites, they dun just scrape random sites. What

Do you stop scrapers that use browsers, and rotates 100 different proxies with different C classes, and uses fake headers?

Content scraping happens all the time, and the benefits outweigh the risks (worst that happens is a cease and desist). If the alternative is investing lots of time creating fake users and fake discussions, I rather scrape and use that preci

As someone working on his own idea right now, I'm also afraid if I take on another 'co-founder', he/she will not work as hard as I will because it was originally my idea, and I work really really hard (sometimes to the point of being unheal

Another way would be to create a lot of captivating content, capturing their email addresses, and turn all those readers into the audience. So give them something they want to read first, then make them communicate w/ each other. Or make su

I never said all, I said most. Lucene, Hadoop and Cassandra are in the minority.

I definitely agree with your sentiment. If you're working on your own personal projects/startup, most of the time you aren't gonna choose Java, but another language whether it be Python, Ruby, etc. But if you're in a corporation, you don't

I agree. It's just fundamentals. There's no such thing as a free lunch. No company can offer 50% coupons again and again, and be profitable, so the number of repeat merchants will go down, and Groupon will have to continue spending more to

Having own mailing lists in the past, I can say this is most likely true. Think about it - most deals Groupon sends are not of interest to you. Because of that, you're gonna ignore more and more of their emails, and eventually you're gonna

Google will punish bad spam blogs eventually. But they're also have a tendency to punish good blogs accidentally as well. If the probability of being punished for being good was near zero, I bet there'd be less spammers

Whether or not it's wrong or right doesn't matter.. what matters is are there consequences? If not, then the guys at AirBnB probably could care less, and are laughing and enjoying cocktails in rooftop bars while the rest of us are toiling a

I agree. What AirBnB did is the modern version of creating thin content farms to spam Google search results.

We shouldn't be looking up to PG as some sort of moral authority.

I disagree. We live in an isolated world where noone shares anything, and as a result ppl feel lonely. This sorta stuff needs to be discussed

The author is talking about the problems of education. But the issue is deeper and more general than this, and arguably has nothing to do with education. It has to do with human nature. Look around us. Everyone is concerned with his or her
