Samy is smart. Been friends with him for about 15 years. One of the smartest hackers I know. Built most of Fonality's backend, too. Also won "Caesars Challenge" in Vegas when he was like 14 years old.

Agreed, it's awesome. Yahoo should be focusing resources on it.

Stop giving me updates. Ship me my product. You are terrible. Seriously. I'm not entirely convinced I haven't been suckered into buying into some giant fraud and there is no product.

Part of supporting the next generation of great sites is giving them the confidence to build on top of you. IMHO, this is "problem" you solve which helps you gain traction, not a problem you solve once you have traction. Just tell people wh

Embed.ly is very cool. It reduces friction and makes embedding content and accessing metadata a snap. The value it offers has tremendous potential. That said, I think the company needs to explain to developers what happens if they build a

What has buttons and what has links in Gmail is totally inconsistent. Also, has anyone ever figured out a way to edit the Quick Links that are created from the Google Labs "quick links" plugin? It seems like you can create them, but not de

At least it responds with the address they wrote to you with, whenever it finds a matching potential from address that matches the recipient address. That saves most cases.

I think the sweet spot is 1920 x 1080, which is 1080p.

Not as cheap as I was hoping for. This thing doesn't even need audio or a remote. :-)

That's a really interesting point. I sometimes do ask what people were making, but you're right, it doesn't matter. I already know what I want to offer.

I'm replying to this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1459955 I would always encourage someone being offered 3x their salary to take that. You'd be stupid not to take that, almost everything else being equal. I'm talking about the pe

A great engineer is not expected to know how their impact on a 25 person company will be different than a 200 person company. Moreover a great engineer may not yet know that not having that impact may be a really important loss to them. I'
