   This comment just made me realize how right on the original vision of justin.tv was. It was probably 10 years ahead of its time. Maybe PG is a genius at finding founders who see the future.

    If I wrote a Python implementation in JavaScript, I'd probably have some hubris about it as well. I'm not sure if the developer is one person or if they wrote the landing page as well, but let's assume it is that same person. If someone has

    Most shoes sold in the the US are of low quality and made at a low cost and then sold at a huge markup. They don't last very long and aren't serviceable. Traditionally made welted shoes are neither more expensive over the long haul or less

    I'm glad you liked it. I believe I (and other people from the area) look at the world differently than those from more prosperous regions. There is a constant thought in the back of my head that this could all be temporary. Boom towns go bu
