Why not count founders? At least, those who draw a salary. Those are jobs too.

One thing complicating your line of argument is that investment terms (as a price) are are significantly harder to value than cash. So it can make sense for people with more experience could to correct the under- or overestimation of inex

I can see how your explanation is more complete, but is there anything wrong in badger7's post?

If there's one question that tells you where someone's heart is, it'll be one they ask, not you.

It's hard to believe that you don't see a road to profitability for Facebook. It seems to be more a question of when at this point, and trading that off against growth. What do you mean "how the internet works"?

For the "Facebook is worth zero"/"lol no business model" crowd, I'd like your answer to these two questions: 1. At what valuation would you invest in Facebook? 2. Why is your number so different from that of people who have a lot more infor

I was referring to "Beautifully composed." That sentence is why your post was modded down so much.

Your first sentence literally added zero new information, because, as you know, it was also present in the parent post. Content comes before fun. I didn't downvote you. I just want to let you know how people vote on this site. People also a

Logo: I think you should keep the text. The name is non-obvious so it's helpful to remind the user. The mascot is kind of strange. It looks like a McDonald's character. I'm guessing you wanted something relating to "critter". Something less

Not true. They explicitly planned for integration in much the way GP describes.

Bad: the logo, the blue "next" arrow", the buttons on the front page, overall UI is busy and confusing. Good: Everything that happens inside that beautiful white square. Stroke recognition, hinting, etc. The demo video is also good.

An alternative form for the last section ("The other side: Scoring points by controlling the madness") is "Derek, what were you going to say?" This would be appropriate when Derek indicated a desire to speak but was interrupted by someone w

No, that does not make most men sexist. You can enjoy it without extrapolating that physical judgment into other domains. And even if you can't help that, which I doubt, you can certainly stop yourself from posting the kind of comments desc

Communication between developers should happen asynchronously, because synchronous communication destroys mental state. That means IMs, not speech, should be the preferred mode of developer communication. That can happen just as well in pri

I'd guess that people often agree to non-competes because they don't know how bad a deal they are. This could be solved if (1) people checked their contracts with lawyers more often, or (2) contract terms were standardized in such a rigid w

All else being equal, requiring less effort is a good thing. Artists who optimize on that variable are better than those who don't. Sure, you can trade it for depth (which is why good art often takes effort) but it is backwards to therefore

The only claim I strongly disagree with is that "we will fully understand how the parallel system in the brains works". How can you be sure? If understanding is made of abstraction, what if the brain is computationally irreducible? Our unde
