According to this logic, shouldn't kids from Kansas or Iowa do way better in math? I'm Chinese myself, and I think there might be a simpler reason. Our schools public schools are way tougher. I'm talking 7 am to 5 pm, non stop learning hard

Man, if it's so easy to just go get an MBA and make awesome money, why don't all us engineers just go do it then? The belief there's some kind of massive inefficiency in the market that disproportionally rewards a bunch of frat-boy do-nothi

Way to go Tom. You and Chris are two of hackers I respect the most on this planet, so I'm sure you guys are going to be ludicrously successful, if you aren't already. Don't forget your ex-coworker when you guys make it big.

Congrats guys! Remind me - who else in our round got funded?

If you are screwed because somebody beat you to the punch - then you were screwed anyway. Sustainable companies have a lot more going for them than just being a few months early than the other guy.

Just asked somebody at Facebook who works on this stuff - apparently they do care and it is a balance between a giant freaking download or increasing HTTP requests. There is also the issue of redownloading a giant file whenever a small piec

They're not just serving up images - hundreds of thousands of images are being uploaded daily and millions more are being sent to different users every day. It's not like a blog or digg, or even YouTube where you can just serve up static fi
