One of the big problems with this is that DOCSIS is a shared bandwidth protocol. It's actually better for a lot of data to stream into a DOCSIS network from the outside, then for data to originate from that network, even if it's just going

It's kind of pathetic that Arrington labels startups who demoed at TC50 as a "TC50 startup" .. Slyly attaching his name to every startup that sucked up to him enough to get onto the demo roster.

I'm at $2725 for an 1100 square foot apartment in SOMA, which is way too much.

I am highly saddened to call whoever down-modded this comment either a "peer" or a "colleague". I guess some people like to be able to single out groups in order to feel better than those other groups.

Cute. I've been building infrastructures for almost 20 years now. There's really nothing new under the sun. The last time I drank the koolaid was at Napster, since then I've never been really excited about a company. Fusion-IO is the closes

And that somehow makes it better? Can you say with a straight face there's a good reason that anybody in this country should be homeless or hungry when we've spent a trillion dollars fighting enemies who weren't really enemies in the past d

Depends on the neighborhood. Some neighborhoods are always cold. SOMA is pretty sunny and consistent.

At some point I like to think there will be no concept of minority groups. Just people. But sadly we're allowed to pass on bad lessons to our children, so old hatreds just stick around forever.

Ahh I know which building you mean. Fun stuff though. You should rip the boards off the slides, get a video camera and post to youtube! Never let caution get in the way of fun!

Have you noticed the inability of anybody under the age of 21 to spell common words?

I won't be impressed until humans no longer fgeel the need to point out that a leader is of a specific color. That's just proof that racism is very real. And Mr. Obama himself is filled with religious hatred, as seen by his turncoat stance

I will definitely buy this. Stem cell research might be the one "world-changing" innovation that's happened since the dawn of the internet, but I don't know if we'll have a clear view of that for another decade. Arthroscopic surgery is also

Everything you've cited here just says "marginally better and cheaper crap to buy". Education has not improved in the past 20 years. Neither has public transit. Manufacturing has gotten cheaper, but it also puts out cheaper products in term

The tech industry is designed to profit off of young, single, impressionable white boys who are more than willing to drink the kool-aid. As you get older, say 30-35, all of a sudden the world changes on you. Relationships happen, families e

I live in SOMA. Downtown San Francisco. Twitter is across the street from me, literally. My best option is 6-30mbps down, and 1mbps up, or comcast which gives 10mbps up. I'd gladly pay $250/month to get 20mbps up. Unfortunately Comcast is a

It's an imbalance. I've never really needed more than 5mbps down, but I NEED 20mbps up or greater for my daily interest in the internet, mainly video and photography. Broadband is just another case where status quo has been maintained by

But they aren't. Humanity is a social failure. The number of people who go without food, shelter, and basic healthcare in this world is pretty staggering.

Clearly you've never been to the bay area. Especially if you're working in San Francisco, then you're looking at living in the outer richmond or sunset if you want $2k to stretch out to enough space for a 5-person family. Expect to pay more

This isn't too surprising. IT salaries have not even come close to keeping up with inflation. It's even worse in the cities. In the Silicon Valley your average engineer making $100k whose wife makes $40k and has 2-3 kids can't afford to buy

$150/month for a desk is way more reasonable than any of the co-working spaces. 8% for $25k however, is kind of silly if you really believe in your product.

Are you in the old Excite@Home building that has the Stanford name on it now? Those offices were incredible, with the slide from the 4th floor to the 1st. Ahh, the fall of the silicon empire!

Forgive me, I'm a much better technologist than I am a blogger .. Hence the sparse number of entries on my blog! In general, I feel that the whole EC2/instant provisioning model of servers, which for any moderate (10+ serverS) application t

I interviewed these guys at Structure 2008 for my blog. They were pretty nice and rather reasonable people. They seemed to have an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. To be fair, they're not targeted at the Web 2.0 market that

What I've been thinking is that there are a ton of warehouse spaces down in SODO, and some groups have put things together like HackerBot Labs. I've run a couple of hacker/punk houses in the past here in SF, but it's hard to do because of r
