Ideas of people have a history of execution are worthwhile. Also, these people may vet ideas proposed by others. This is essentially how YC works -- the prototype is the idea displayed, not executed -- PG is the veter. One can simply move

Sort of a side story but hopefully illustrative of the problems in this space. A couple of months ago I started on a side project to do a game creation suite modelled on the Dvorak card game (a Nomic varient). This is a very small subset o

Ditto. I also acquired a Dell+Ubuntu in 6/07. Switched to a Macbook in 10/07. If you are making decent contract money it just isn't worth the hassle to, for instance, try and get a decent music playing software w/ the appropriate codec sup

Actually, since I'm not celebrating the holiday in question either and am more to happy to argue on the Internet, here are my more extended thoughts. Even if some subset of the population is going to lose the Jesus bit doesn't it make more

What magazines? What Economist pieces? What news sources on technology? Pick a question and I can attempt an answer. :)

I think there must be a combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches. Pure art or math might be top-down (McCarthy). You might be more of a bottom-up person. Or did McCarthy create LISP from tinkering with code and seeing the inadeq
