Note that a rejected applicant will have learned from the failed YC interview and adjust his presentation accordingly when applying to another incubator. Kudos for your postmortem optimization feedback loop. This is one of the non visible f

This demonstrate once again the antagonism of beeing able to ensure security as was complained to be lacking for the 9/11 and that no honnest citizen gets trampled by it. I can't see a way out of spying it's own cytizen and keep them in the

This is a habit of the adiction kind. It is like alcoholism. Stoping such habit takes week and extream willpower or stay at least one month in a place without fridge etc. After one week you will already see the effect. Note that, as like a

I'm interrested to develop a new messaging system that truly provides end to end encryption and is as secure as possible. All that with an open source protocol. I would be glad to share the work with people sharing the same interest.

I have to disagree with most suggestions. What criteria would make someone purple ? Popularity ? Number of karma points ? What would be the incentive to respect them more then others ? And why would they deserve more respect than others ? I

I understand the author had a point to make, but my analysis is diferent. I'm trying to look a little further away in time. We will still need brick and mortar work to be done and we'll have a very stronger pressure on energy optimization.

With square you don't anymore need people who can work as a cashier. This is not just counting money. It means people who won't steal, etc. This is more difficult to find than people who just keep the shop clean, and thus they are more expe

Absence of proof is not proof of absence. What has changed in the last 20 years is Internet. My son surprize me with the thing he learned from the internet. Though it is also true that the things he learned are limited to what catched his c

My understanding is that being successful means reaching our life goal . If your goal is to make career in the academic or research domain, than a college degree is indeed a must have and a step closer to your success. Otherwise, it's no

The autor is clearly talking of his own experience. He is not generalizing and trying to convince everybody to drop out of college. My experience is that after 5 years of professionnal activity college is not relevant anymore as long as one

You don't have to provide a blue print of your game in your kickstart presentation. Just show one or two images of the game graphics.

SSN shouldn't be published around since it is a key information to ones digital identity. I guess they do this for clients which are not companies.

This is an unexpected reaction to this post. For a moment I thought the post was an original call for hiring. I'm not an expert in such things but the idea that he would do great things doesn't sound like narcisism. Narcisism is beeing in

When using mail most people don't want to let know when they read a mail. I do for instance because it hurts my privacy. If the notification was delayed so that the sender doesn't have the precise time when I red the mail, it could reduce t

The quality of Sparrow is it's simplicity. Adding features to it would make it evolve in bloatware. See MS Word. They now reshuffle menues to justify upgrades. I guess in some next version, menues will be at the bottom of the window. This i

What if the Sparrow problem was a too high burn rate ? Apparently they were planing to integrate ads in Sparrow, probably for a free version. This could have worked since the app was very popular.

These are working tools. Their cost should be a fraction of the revenue generated with them. Sparrow is not a revenue generating app. It saved some time to the users. That's all.

What is the rationale of such demand ? This reminds me Schneir's objection to biometric identification. What do we do if it's compromized ? There is no way we could change it. One should obviously be able to publish a video that we made wit

I don't think it is a question of forbidden or crossed line. It is a question of self brand (reputation) that may be ternished. In some situation when they have to pick employee A or B for a bonus, a promotion or to be fired, and there is n

Apparently people who flagged this article reference didn't read the article. It is an excellent and very informative article. Flaging it was indeed abusive. They would probably bomb the Musée du Louvre in Paris.

It is NSFW because it is a screen capture of a porn web site. Not because of nudity. Some US employee avoid anything that could be used against them.
