I'm not sure about Berlin, but I am visiting Paris for a few months and I found that it is just riddled with bureaucracy. For example, there was an article recently about why there are so many 49-employee people companies in France: http:/

Reminds me of my previous (BigCorp) employer who spent millions on redesigning office spaces from individual offices to a network for cube-farms. These were expensive cubes too, because you could move them around and orient them in differen

Awesome. Has anyone tried using Haskell for scientific computing applications like: fluid simulation, finite element simulation, etc. It would be interesting to see benchmarks with traditional tools used in scientific computing industry whi

I'd be curious to know why you switched back to languages with native code generation? Is it mostly due to the control you have over code performance? Is so, are such applications fairly specific in scope, e.g., fluid-simulation on the GPU?

Interesting data. I would be curious to find out how the general sentiment correlates with consumer behavior, e.g., financial market swings, purchases on amazon.com, google searches, etc.

An excellent example of a valuable product that was bootstrapped from the very beginning. It's really a shame that news like this is not more prevalent. We are so accustomed to seeing media highlights of highly glamorized "overnight success

Take time out of your day to relax or exercise or simply take a week or two off. There is no shame in that and I think the 20 hour work days have been overly glamorized. Talk to your co-founder, I'm sure the startup can manage or you will w

In general I agree with the premise that talks are more about conveying a vision, illicit emotion, and are prone to mob reactions. However, I wonder how much of that is changing due to the fact that most talks are now available to view onli

It is sad for nostalgic reasons, but what a brilliant sign of an amazing feat that we have accomplished since the dawn of the internet age. Print material was the only way to disseminate information for about 500 years and this marks a sign

Agreed. I had a collection Brittanica back in the day and I remember randomly perusing through it and finding interesting tidbits of information I would otherwise be ignorant of. What a resource it was. That experience is not found by today

What seems most insidious is that the tasks that lead you down the rabbit hole make you feel like you are actually being productive, which is probably why it is so hard to intrinsically determine when you are heading down that hole in the f
