I actually think they are right. If you are not AWS (Google or Microsoft), and you are not embracing OpenStack, you are an also ran and you will be irrelevant.

The book is about VC period. Authors switch sides in perspective throughout. The rookie mistake, covered at length in the book, was not knowing the difference between the cap table, employee options pool, and fully diluted shares. See, e.g.

"Make it look like fifty percent." That one sentence made all the difference. In one instant, Heidi immediately understood what she had that the other side wanted. In her case, it was an initial app on a new platform. More than th

Might want to tighten that logic up a bit. Plenty of founder's spouses are allowed in and have been allowed in our offices. None of them had any hiring or firing power.

My approach is to work on bugs I encounter and that I am capable of fixing. So far that has lead to contributes to SimianArmy, Ganglia, Anemometer, and Logstash. Just be a good community member and get in where you fit in.

We spoke only for a few moments. I needed to visit him in the lockup to obtain a signature for some legal document. He seemed dazed but upbeat.

He was on foreign soil in a country with no extradition treaty to the US. With the help of local bounty hunters, the Marshal's captured him, put a bag over his head, and put him on a plane back.

Good find! I guess my memory from back then was a little off. Still, super interesting case to work. I met Hill briefly in the MCC.

I worked as a lawyer in Chicago in the late 1990s and represented a client who was on the FBI top ten most wanted list. His name is Nate Hill. He was a Chicago drug dealer. He fled to Africa and was running a coffee business as a front. US

Not a big deal. I'm surprised this is a thing, been doing it daily since 2004. I don't really get the alternative.

I would collect evidence of the recruiter having disclosed my salary and bring that directly to the CEO. Legality aside, it is highly unprofessional to discuss private information in that way.

Anyone have any tips on how to make the transition from pets to cattle? I ask because we are a cloud deployed company (EC2) still largely doing things in an old-school "pets" based approach. I'm fully onboard for why the catt

Very different experience with AWS/OpenStack/running our own here. We indeed had a largish AWS bill ~50k/month. Decided to move dev/test in house into an OpenStack cluster I built with the help of Mirantis/FuelWeb.

Honestly the one interface should be the AWS API. Eucalyptus has already embraced it and set the tone. OpenStack is partially there but political battles in the community have forced a stalemate. If you standardize on the lowest common deno

This is all good stuff. AWS takes a while to grok but once you do, it offers so many new possibilities. The Aha! moment for me came when playing with SimianArmy, the wonderful Netflix OSS project and in particular, Chaos Monkey. Rather than

Really great talk. I liked Gatekeeper. Reminded me of Decider at Twitter and an (unnamed?) similar tool at Etsy.

I've met FBI agents in person in a professional context if that's what you mean. I obviously don't have any first hand knowledge of this scenario but the connection to the FBI seemed rather tenuous in the story.
