   Parse, Heroku, Stripe, and Mongo are all selling tools. Arguably Apple as well (how many developers are using something OTHER than an Apple laptop?), although most of their revenue comes from mass market consumer products not sold specifica

   It's going to matter a lot, because consumer internet consumption is shifting inexorably toward mobile, which tends to have data caps. You could blow through the standard 2 GB monthly allotment in a single HD movie streamed to your pho

   Only marginally related, but what the heck is going on with the text on gwern's site? Are the per-character varying gray values supposed to convey some kind of information?

   What? I'm not assuming anything. All I did was post a link to Elon Musk's own words.

   That is actually what Elon Musk has explicitly said: http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/secret-tesla-motors-master-p... "1. Build sports car 2. Use that money to build an affordable car 3. Use that money to build an

   I feel like it's not really possible to be tested for ADD as an adult without just coming across as a person seeking amphetamines. Which is funny, considering how eager child psychiatrists are to hand out diagnoses.

    Jesus. There's really no way to fight it other than going full RMS, is there? Who knows how many zero-days the NSA is sitting on for all major browsers. I wonder if they can attack sites that implement full end-to-end HTTPS.

    The "most popular" ones you're referring to are SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), which work by binding to 5-HT2 receptors in your brain and preventing (unsurprisingly) the reuptake of serotonin, leading to mor

    I'm confused by the usage of bisque here. Are you saying "lovingly crafted" as a phrase is... soup-like?

    That is not how a binomial probability is calculated. Consider the case where you flip a coin twice - do you have a 2 * 1/2, or 100% chance of getting a 'head'? Obviously not – you have a 75% chance. The actual way you calcul

    Which studies do you refer to? And how do you explain top VC firms consistently getting much higher returns on funds than, say, the DJI?

    I can't possibly believe something like a game's score would be recorded in an unsigned byte. The last time I saw an unsigned byte in use in a game was in the original Starcraft, which tracked number of kills per unit with a singl

    I don't think blocking a specific set of IP addresses constitutes deep packet inspection. If they were reading the payload contents for strings matching the CourseTable site, that would qualify. Still, this is a stupid move by Yale.

    Name your friend, name the YC founders who held this perception so they can discuss it with the involved parties. Of course, that won't happen.

    Only six-figure supercars can do 200+ miles per hour, and doing so can empty the gas tank in 15 minutes or less.

    I met them at YC's Work For A Startup day and they do in fact talk like that. Fun quote from one of the cofounders: >Mr. Ohanian asked the panel, “One of the things I see time and time again is that we have companies who went to the
