You don't see any difference between cute baby pics and star wars kid? I wouldn't put naked baby pics or anything on the internet, but saying no pics at all seems a bit over-paranoid. (And I am about as paranoid as they come).

2.3x is still very significant. Would you rather make 3k a month, or 6.9k a month? One of those is 36k a year. The other is 82.8k a year. I know which one I'd prefer.

Except the watch is pretty much worthless without the phone it's attached to. Perhaps it would work from gym bag on the bench, definitely not from the locker room.

I'd love to but after quite a bit of searching I can't find them. I did see that Musk quoted 1 bil for right of way on the hyperloop, so my numbers must be off some. I'm pretty sure it still isn't the majority of the cos

i saw a video earlier today that suggested perhaps some features of a phone could be more convenient in watch form just as some things are more pleasant on phones and tablets than on desktops. that it wasn't a replacement, rather a sup

That's not actually true. Last estimates I saw said that the right of way was only costing a few (1-3 i think) billion of the total cost.

And you are wrong about it being one of the most densely populated areas in the US? 20th isn't that high.

I have no idea who downvoted this comment, but it is very true. The cost of a book is the cost of making and marketing it. Paper is really cheap. Obviously it is more expensive than bits, but not significantly.

>I've never bought a Kindle because paying almost the same price for the Kindle version of a book vs. the paperback cost is ridiculous. You don't understand the economics of publishing. The paperback, and the hardcover for that

I'm planning on releasing a book soon and have been strongly considering gumroad. I couldn't find anything about an affiliate program (now or coming soon). Do you have a link for this, or is it just from your talks with them?

Android has 80% worldwide market share, but it's much much closer in the US. If you take out the crap phones that are smartphone in name only, it's much closer worldwide. While Android is clearly winning by a decent margin, I&#x27

Interesting that one of his examples, Wordpress, has contributed to lots of software jobs as well. Writing themes, plugins, etc can be fairly lucrative and probably more interesting than making a blog from scratch over and over. The whole p

Didn't say that at all. I said if you make bad decisions you will get a bad outcome. I did not say everyone who has a bad outcome made bad decisions to get there. Subtle but important difference.

Actually it's not zero value to society, and you don't just get to watch money roll in. It is providing capital to a business and it is full of risk. If the business fails then the money is gone. The markets play a valuable role i

No it wouldn't. There are literally billions of other people capable of doing that job.

Yes. If that person is a cashier at Walmart. The value added by that employee is simply not that high. They shouldn't get paid more just because we don't want to be poor. If you only make 20k you shouldn't be having 2 kids. I

I feel bad for ballmer. his legacy is going to be pretty terrible because the stock price was flat from when he took over until now. nobody seems to take into account that he took over in the middle of the tech bubble bursting and msft was

First off, it's not that cynical. Plenty of people die before the age of 60. Male life expectancy is 76, so 35 years is 70% of expected remaining. Also, the point I was originally making, is that for most people the quality of life bet

The reason people ignore the Mac Pro is because it doesn't move the needle revenue/profit wise. At this point, all of Mac barely moves the needle. The Mac Pro is a tiny niche product that is cool and very much needed, just for a v

right. missing out on 25-60 is totally reasonable. nothing important happens during those years anyways.

That's silly. Motive is taken into account for everything else. If you kill someone by accident it's different than if you commit premeditated murder. The person planning to maliciously use classified secrets should expect a stiff

I think this is a great strategy for Apple as an Apple shareholder. It will still be a good phone, and it opens up a whole new market for them. They aren't going for the low end $100 junk android phone market. Just aiming at the middle

OP here. I also reviewed the Datastore API here - http://www.entrelife.com/2013/08/dropbox-datastore-api-revie... TL;DR - It's very nice. Highly recommend.
