The only old money in India are the Brahmin and descendants of royalty, and even the Brahmin have to work for a living. The dichotomy doesn't likely have a lot of meaning there. Virtually everyone or their direct ancestors earned their weal

People in the third world can't afford the bandwidth to watch videos like this, especially when it's so anemic on actual information.

It's rather telling that he gets to work on DDG on his own terms from Pennsylvania. (I'm a coder that pines for mudding and visible stars, so the fact that my career choices are NYC/SF is disheartening at times.)

I know what the canonical name is, but that's not a name, it's a url. This community is a 'thing' in and of itself and merits a name independent of a rather sterile subdomain.

"Ooh but then you're disloyal and a job hopper!" - Calacanis et al. As I stated last time, only businessmen and finance grads are allowed to exercise self-interest. When labor starts responding to the market they get really mad.

Pay-by-use has always been a risk and people have been using the API + third party libs to automatically provision resources for some time now. Nothing new here, except that they're squeezing Heroku and GAE now.

>(not that I know anything about crypto) Me either, and while I chuckled, I think cperciva is one of the better qualified people to be implementing crypto.

And I bet you just have all the answers don't you? I'll even bet that you think everyone else is stupid for not seeing the OBVIOUS solutions that you're presenting! Damn those corporate conspiracies to keep programmers down!

I found this story and perspective very interesting but everyone discussing this subject with Hilbert is severely mistaken if they think they'll dissuade him from his unpopular beliefs with anecdote and musings. Sadly, your story is not one

Ignoring myriad other differences, Clojure's syntactic improvements on Lisp/Scheme alone would create far more work than would be worthwhile. It's simply unnecessary and excessively painful in the face of much better alternatives. Like cutt

That's a bit much to resort to when AFAIK caching hasn't been pursued aggressively as it could be.

I recently stated that I would very much like to short Facebook. I would like to add that I would also like to short Groupon. I'll let you guys draw out the parallels, I have some roti canai to nibble on.

Both responses you got were more or less correct, sorry for the jargon. I'm a programmer by trade and passion so I figured most would suss it out, I'll have to watch how much time I spend around people that work in finance in future. Some m

I jokingly asked a friend of mine that works in finance if he could securitize a pre-IPO company for the purpose of shorting them. He immediately understood that I meant Facebook and after chuckling he actually paused thoughtfully. Fingers-

This is definitely going to help with the accusations of religiosity and crackpottery.

Happens to the best of us mate. I have double-take moments like that with my work all the time. Makes me paran^H^H^H^H^Hcautious.

I did the same thing. Got tired of .NET and the attendant environment, walked into a Django job mostly blind, fell in love. The next job will be Python too, although I've always got me eye out for that chance Clojure gig. :)

To be clear, #startups is a hive of scum and villainy, but still entertaining.

But at that point, you could use Scala or Java if you want a nice static/strong language. Then you get access to nicer frameworks like Lift, Play, et al with the associated free and open source infrastructure.

Flagged, submitted and discussed ad nauseum already. Please refrain from re-submitting content, especially when it was recently discussed in future.
