   It's like an OpenID for street addresses. Couldn't this easily be a feature for Clickpass?

   That's a great essay. Funny, sad, and true. "Veteran programmers of many years with obvious ability and talent go down with a fit of the blues. The intelligence is directed inwards in mournful contemplation of the inadequacies of their fav

   I reread your comment with fresh eyes and I can see the sarcasm now. I kind of feel like the Mitch Hedberg joke: My friend said to me, "I think the weather's trippy." I said, "No, man, it's not the weather that's trippy, perhaps it is the w

    "peers", exactly. The same effect occurs locally too (friends, neighbours, colleagues, people you went to school with, etc...) and not just with money, but all indicators of status. There's an interesting book by Alain de Botton called Stat

    And the concentration of tech companies is so great in Israel that even Yahoo and Google share a building ( http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2229/2419149286_0dfc4bbab4_b.... ).

    Mike K makes a great point. As hardware becomes inconsequential, we identify less with what we have and more with what we can do. No one cares what model of harpsichord Bach played (maybe harpsichord players do).

    Are they interested in adding features like global availability zone regions, private availability zones, various security compliance (PCI, CISP, etc...)?

    I second the high-level plan and the brief daily calls. I'll add that if you're working from home, put your shoes on when you start working and don't forget to spend time outside.

    But the bands on Myspace that have representation are hella active. It still plays a big part in getting deals and often after you're signed, labels expect to see continuous growth in terms of views, plays, and "friends".

    They've been doing a lot of non-hardware, non-enterprisey stuff in the past 5 years too. Primarily Solaris 10/OpenSolaris and DTrace among (many) other things. DTrace continues to blow my mind.
