Blind reliance on models killed Lehman Brothers. Math was just the tool they used to inflict lethal injury on themselves. I have also seen strong arguments (but no concrete evidence yet) which suggest the government officials involved were

Since there seems to be a tie, between this idea and another contestant below, I'd like to transfer all my points to this idea :) (as much for selfish reasons as the public good). Also other comments suggesting the same things have points w

Trevor, did you design twitchboard.com alone? Do you have a portfolio of any UI design work you have done which you can point me to? We are looking for someone to help us with design. Thanks.

Thanks! I'll continue to vie for the full prize too :) I like that you're using python-twitter. I have played with it a bit and contributed to a very minor fix ( http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=58 ) This is our 2nd

You have solved an important issue with Twitter - grouping different kinds of people so readers can separate them and read only the kind of tweets they are interested in at that time. There is a higher level problem - reading only certain k

In an interview following his presentation, Vineet said HCL and other employers need to have a greater influence on the tech curricula of U.S. colleges and universities, to make them more real-world and rigorous. Hahahaha .. if Six Sigma

I'm impressed with DDG. An ego search finds all the results Google does minus much of the crap. How big is your team?

It requires that founders work more or less around the clock while ignoring pedestrian concerns like cash flow or |hygiene| Well, that was below the belt.

The form of payment is independent of the price you charge. The advantage of using convertible debt is you do not have to decide on valuation. Many people on both sides (investors and founders) would find this preferable, precisely because

If this is 100% of your savings put at least 300K (50%) in something safer than a startup and be prepared to lose the other 50%. If you are not, ratchet down the amount you want to invest to something you can afford to lose without feeling
