Dropbox could definitely have my business there and be price competitive if they offered say 250 gigs for under $100 a year. Amazon S3 (some consider it wholesale) would cost you 3 times that, and that's not even considering in/out bandwi

It applies to everyone. You're thinking of transfer out, which begins at $0.17/GB and works its way down to $0.10/GB, as you spend more. For transfer in, the standard price of $0.10/GB applies from the very beginning.

To add to that, the offenders here are not only lifting content but presumably profiting from it (with AdSense) as well.

Bak may be a computing genius, but he didn’t touch a computer until he was at university. Wow. I wonder how many 10x programmers got their start in college.

He probably means management team + other employees. Isn't the total employee option pool about 20%?

I agree that "prompts" sounds stilted, but are you seriously advocating using something that's incorrect -- "begs" -- instead of "raises" just because it's slightly shorter?

If you're going to focus on style, you should use "prompts the question" or "raises the question." http://begthequestion.info/

writing fast-running code in these languages can be painful/ugly Seriously? The OCaml implementation is about as fast as C and -- if you were to look at the language shootout -- fast OCaml code is digestable for pretty much anyone with e

I'm also in Tokyo, and I'd love to attend one of these. This is the only one I know about, but its primarily about functional programming. http://www.starling-software.com/en/tsac.html

Verbal and Quantitative have vastly different distributions. Simply adding them together favors those in quantitative fields. I think that the smaller variance in verbal scores should have tipped him off.

I don't think thats true. Nostrademons, for example, was just hired there, and he has a degree in physics. If you can somehow demonstrate competence, even if its just from self-study, you should be fine.
