Hell yeah. I say so now, but i wonder if I'd get over there and have to confront Hurt Locker -esque situations. I'm 22, so my risk tolerance may be above average.

If there was a Pulitzer for startup interviews, I'd expect Andrew Warner to be nominated.

I didn't say Actionscript was faster, did I? If you took it that way, allow me to clarify: I meant to say they improved the language, and that the JIT is faster than the chrome JIT.

Not true. They made massive optimizations to the JIT compiler as well as Actionscript. It still runs faster than js (even V8) for many pixel intensive operations. Just because the original idea of multimedia was from Macromedia, doesn't mea

I've had some previous exposure to python, but nothing mission critical. I just switched from php to python about 3 weeks ago in order to deploy apps on the Google App Engine. My deepest language experience is in frontend Actionscript 3, so

Indeed, they could write that check twice without debt financing.

How many people steal natural gas, electricity (yes you can equate stealing electricity to stealing digital media: it's transient, marginally inexpensive to transmit, etc)? The difference is simply a matter of enforceability.

Insofar as a country says "copyright" is a law, it is a real right. But that isn't what i'm saying. I'm saying that making statements based on moral judgement based on economics is wrong.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normative_statement There is no way to prove this right or wrong. It is just a bad statement to make in the context of economics.

by cellis 17y ago
"Should" and "should not" are normative statements, and have no place in economic discussion.

I can't say it's gorgeous. It's a little hard-edged for my taste. But i use it nonetheless. Isn't that all that matters?

I suppose cash is king but couldn't they could also simply take out loans on the value of their shares a la Ellison?

"...and tell you...in 5 they’ll be worth a few hundred BILLION." To be fair, i think he qualified this very well. He's talking about suited down 6'4" finance pros wining and dining clients.

Your startup looks great, but do tell what the test-case startup on your home page is selling: they've made $94,600 profit from $94,600 in sales!

Maybe in So Cal, but in my short experience the Bay Area fell far short of my expectations. Especially compared to NYC, which imo has the most varied beautiful women in the country. I've been all over, but when I visited nyc for the first t

Could someone tell me why the example given is malformed? I rarely write JSON anymore (except with json_encode in php and simplejson in python).

by cellis 17y ago
Ok, I'll bite. I just don't like talking about this sort of thing because it often devolves into scammy ideas. For instance here is a dead simple way to make money if you are really hard up: Build a site where the only goal is to serve ads

Someone smart enough to create a black box (which a million dollar business never turns out to be) that takes input of 24,000 and returns as output 2.4 million is not going to give it away at a marginal cost. He's asking, in essence, how

Why rural america? I've driven through my fair share of it and lived in it for a long time, and based on this heuristic I've got to say that you will mostly just be seeing large expanses of farm fields. With the kind of money he has: Costa

For me it was "want to make a fish swim realistically with inverse kinematics"? Break out the Jacobian Matrices. Although, to be intellectually honest, I went only went as far as to research this, and no further. I just didn't see it as wor

Considering that youth is often worn as a badge of honor in the tech industry, I doubt it was taken this way.

Not much math. Some simple physics like velocity and momentum transfer that you can learn in a tutorial (in a day). I think it is important to make the distinction between game development (lots of simple math and complex "pluggable" formul
