It says that founders are less technical, and more likely to be based in NYC not SV. But YC, the poster-child of the new wave, is totally "technical founder", and I also read that the share of VC investments in California vs Rest Of The Wor

Then it should at least be scaled by the probability of actually converting to a sale...

Given that this will certainly not happen in the next 2+ years, I think you would have gotten some value from the device by that time.

No, because it is solving a different problem. Quicksort cannot sort linked-lists, not even in C++. I think most implementations of std::list<>::sort (in C++) use some variant of mergesort. And it is not true that in-place modificat

Am I the only one who does not understand what this actually means? Could somebody please provide a summary for the simple-minded / legally uneducated?

This is the real "sort" used by GHC 7: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/4.3.0.0/doc... It's pretty elegant, too, if less than the inefficient pseudo-qsort shown by the OP.

One question that I don't find the answer to: Is it possible to link a computer to both a personal and a team account?

Those who try to hire Haskell devs (and write about it) seem to have no trouble finding experienced people. In fact, it seems like there is almost a "glut".

This answers my question in a satisfying way, thank you.

At least according to what I read in http://emdashes.com/2010/12/more-on-martin-and-solomon-and.p... (which ndaiger linked to earlier), the audience was really not happy about what they saw. This does not mean that they should not improve

The audience did not like what it got. If you shut off communication, that does not change the audience and its feelings.

Because deleveraging of the banking system produces a deflationary shock. The Fed is trying to offset this, but for political reasons can only partially (people would cry "currency debasement!" - and already do). Scott Sumner has written so

I originally read it the way that they feed the list of merchants manually. But it is possible that I understood that wrong, yeah.

Supposedly you can found a GmbH without a notary now. I don't know how well that works in practice, though.

Don't believe everything a random pundit on the Internet says. Yes, Germany has something like a Limited Liability company, since recently even without any required capital (beyond 1 Euro). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesellschaft_mit_bes

"Improving algorithms" now involves writing a blacklist? Blacklists are fine, but please don't call them algorithms.

He uses the word perfectly correctly. Apple has a monopoly on iPods because only Apple is able (and allowed) to build iPods. And it is not unethical either.

Haskell is probably a lot more stable and suitable for real-world use, i.e. more practical, than Perl 6.

You know a writer does not have a convincing case when he adds "trust me" to the first paragraph.

I do not think his posting should be considered negative. It pointed out very valid concerns. One way you might make your offer more attractive without paying more or compromising quality might be lifting the restriction to PHP 4.

I'm a hypothetical iPhone App developer. Catch my attention and interest: You need something concrete to catch me and have me say "Yes! This solves a problem that is annoying me already." I don't think that is sufficiently communicated on y

Often, "what if everyone did the same" is a very bad test. For example because not everybody will do the same. I'm not sure whether that's the case here.
