Yeah, and that $2.7 billion in profit is after paying ridiculous compensation to most of the firm. Chew on that.

I remember reading something about game theory and why things like this never work. Maybe someone more versed in game theory can explain better?

This is so true. The first step to correcting a problem is admitting you have one, and everyone on App Engine clearly does (locked-in). What I'm doing about it? Moving to Tornado/MongoDB/EC2 as quickly as possible.

Ideas mean nothing in the grand scheme of humanity. In 200 years we could collapse back into the dark ages. Only surviving descendants do. The "anyone can produce a baby" is a pretty lie told to those who forsake their prime directive (mati

I've heard that simply decriminalizing weed in many states has had a material, and in some cases profound negative effect on revenue for mexican drug cartels. Furthermore, many consumers of narcotics are "moving upstream" to prescription

Those "powerful investors" are just fools looking to sell to greater fools. Of course they didn't realize that no, this actually isn't 1999 and you can't just dupe the public into buying your overpriced IPO again. Rich people make mistakes

Eric Eldon hitched his wagon to Facebook and just sold his company for $14 million. So much for being wrong 5 years ago.

Make something people want. Not "build the next Facebook". Not "be the next Andrew Mason or Mark Pincus". Not "prove your mastery of social UX by founding the next Quora". Nope, just make something people want. You never know where that w
