I don't think Facebook is buyable right now. Consider how wide the PDF of its future values is. There is a chance that Facebook will be bigger than Google. I'm sure many of you have reasons why it won't happen, but it is plausible. It's

I suspect that "I think the time for filling the holes in the Twitter service has come and gone" should be read as "I won't invest in something like that anymore." He's a VC after all. My take is that he wants to see more interesting and

How does he get from the the text of the article, which approximately says "It would be useful in some cases for a database to be dynamically typed" to the sweeping statement "Databases Should be Dynamically Typed". As others have noted, re

I'm really tired of all the people who think they have the line on the best way to do something, particularly when that something involves interacting with human beings. We're all hill climbing here. Nobody even knows if we're on the righ
