What's wrong with serving criminals? Their money is good. To me it reads more like backups for the nonconformists that are singled out by an american mindset eager to declare war on anything unexpected.

TrueCrypt. WebKit (oops. duh). Yeah. There are a few.

Of course closed source is inevitable. Most really awesome technology is closed source. Not that I'm dissing open source, it has it's place, but it's not as good at really pushing the boundaries. I can't think of any open source I get sup

This guy is clueless. "For example, it took a long time for Apple to even realise that it needed to release an SDK for the iPhone. What they were thinking, I have no idea, given it’s a blindingly obvious requirement." Obviously not. Obvi

I think this talk about intel is crap. They wanted PA Semiconductor because Dan Dobberpuhl and his team are incredibly brilliant at design and because he has a strong interest in techniques to lower power. You can read an interview with Do

I must of got really lucky because we got our first choice (for facing customers) and second choice (for facing Doctors) and third choice (for facing investors/internal). I also got the websites I wanted for my music composition hobby. No

I've been thinking that all other commenting systems suck compared to the one here. This is so nice and elegant compared to most. A little tweaking needed here or there maybe, but, aside from the unknown post links when you take too long

Being overly cynical here should be fine because cynicism correlates with correctly perceiving reality. But polite and overly cynical.

Some people will claim that psychedelics improve creativity. I am one of them. But psychedelics improve creativity by giving people synesthesia, providing years worth of very clear detached associative thinking in hours, and by cleaning o

That's a great quote. In the same vein, I've been saying lately that people who think the iPhone is just one phone among many are just like people who thought the a computer was just another typewriter. Ohh, wow. I just said something by J

I don't have investors yet. Don't care about the money. If I get rich, I want to do other creative stuff with the money. 15 million is an institute for music composers, with access to staff, instruments, and state of the art music labs.

Some of these suggestions are awful. This explosion of companies named phoodcaphe.com and this dropping the e is not a good trend. It's cheap knockoffs of a few successful companies and products that did it well, like iMac and Flickr. Yo

I don't want to sell. I want my company to get big so we can do the exciting work I see a company like ours doing down the road a few years. It isn't about the money, I don't want to lose my chance to influence the future by creating it.

I was always told a company should eat it's own dogfood so to speak, so I'll look forward to bidding on skype at auction.

Man. Fuck vacation and this work life balance crap. If I am on vacation there's this little voice in my head that says "you're that much closer to dying all so some poor people can serve you some drinks you don't like while pretending the

There are lots of people who need food and water. They might like a solution to their starving to death and have no water problem.

Good question. The answer is yes, because the time to invest in moderate or expert knowledge of the mac is a good price to pay for years of the better experience. Further, this would suggest that they do it as soon as possible, because th

The Segway kinda sucked, but still, you gotta be a real genius to think up and design something that sucks in just that kind of way. I'm glad he's working on something so fundamental. We need more like this. Even if Segway is a little la

In a similar vein, placebos work better when they are more expensive.

I thought so. Then I couldn't find nothing to back it up. Cause it's off label and I didn't look hard.

It sounds like he knows what he's talking about. If you can't inspire him that your idea is good, you aren't going to inspire customers or investors. Listen to his arguments and fight it out.

"I'm not advocating using drugs to help you think better, btw, but there's more of a case there than in sports." This could mean several things. i'm curious what you think about a few cases that make explicit some of the ambiguities. 1 A p

Let's be honest. Our culture has a completely hypocritical attitude towards drug use. The people who make the drug laws are either idiotic or spineless politicians, the people who enforce them are sadistic bullies, and the people who suppo

Sounds like a great idea for a Y-combinator start-up, if only you could find a partner to help implement it.

If your going to have one pair of glasses, it should be logic. If you get two, make it logic and awareness of the immediacy of death. Most of everything else will fall out of those two ways of looking at the world.
