Nobody has a clue? I don't buy it. Big things are happening in energy, biotech, health care, 3d printing, telecom, computing, and more. There is definitely a place for longer term thinking.

Just curious - what type of app, and what is the nature of the alleged infringement?

Old people (older than 40, say) are way under-represented in tech. Can anyone argue with this point? We need culture change, and maybe even affirmative action to force the industry to open up to oldsters. (yes, I'm in the 40+ demographic

"The VC/company relationship is really not at all like an employer/employee relationship." They can fire you, and you can't fire them. That means you are the employee, and they are the employer. If everything goes great, you'll never have

Retailers pushed to impose the sales tax on Amazon. Now it looks like they are going to get what they asked for.

Visit scandanavia, germany, holland, britain. On the warmth/openness scale, they feel similar to America (at least to me). Go a bit farther south (belgium/france/italy/spain) and people open up more. The persians I know are warmer still.

So @Dave isn't Marc Andreesen or Larry Page. So f-ing what. The only tragic thing is that he hasn't figured out yet that work != life. I'm in a similar demographic as @Dave, live in palo alto, near his age. Had some really good successes

A car is a machine made from a bunch of parts. If you could upgrade those parts bit by bit, a car could run forever. You could look at the internet as a single machine made from a bunch of parts. Those parts are distributed all over the p

jQuery dependency is also a problem for me - I dropped jQuery and use Zepto instead for a mobile app I'm writing.

"This is what really caught my attention about the Raspberry Pi. I just wish I knew how to get a case of them." Check out BeagleBone - more expensive than RasberryPi, but they are available. I'm running a BeagleBone as a DNSMASQ server. L

I've had great experience using Zepto, Backbone & custom styles. Was able to field a single-page app with about a dozen views - very interactive and very fast. Total app size about 25K including support libraries. Data loads asynchro

Self-driving cars are a risky technology that requires large, long-term capital investments and genuine innovations. If Google is granted a 20-year monopoly on their in-house inventions, to me that would be a fair and proper use of the pat

The best fundraising you can do is from your customers! You retain more equity and more control. And by the way, customer revenues is the only way to sustain a real business over time. Might as well get good at it early-on.

Over the past 30 years we haven't seen breakthru innovation in transportation, energy, medicine, and many other fields. This point has been made by Peter Theil and others. That may be true, but look at some recent developments. Self-drivi

Great news. A built-in background job queue should reduce the rails learning curve - simpler to use a default option than research and test the various custom options that are available now.

SketchUp is such a great tool. I use it for - furniture design! There's a healthy community of furniture design geeks out there. Sadly, I can't see much synergy between GPS hardware and furniture design. I wish the acquirer was a CAD/des

Have you tried Gnome? I also use 2 monitors, and hope that Gnome on 12.04 supports multi-monitors well.

Erlang is indeed impressive. But there is a big learning curve (at least for me!) and a whole new tool-set to support. It would be great if a Ruby/ZeroMQ based framework modelled on Erlang became widely adopted.

I heard that episode as well and was dismayed by Yehuda's lack of impulse control and disrespect for the speaker. But I continue to watch Yehuda's work closely - the dude is a programming athlete.

My $0.02 - don't back down. Don't get emotional. Fight for what is owed you - even money that was due from 2009. Its not a black mark on your reputation to have your dispute brought before a court or mediator. Regardless of whether you
