I don't buy it, not from a company as large as Google who has more institutionalized about scaling and building web properties. Just because it sounds really cool that Google throws gobs of money at engineers doesn't necessarily make it the

Jobs isn't capricious, he's an asshole. I have two friends who both had the misfortunate position of being Jobs' personal IT bitch at Apple. He fired my one friend, and I quote, "because I'm tired of struggling to understand your gimpy voic

Are people really worth this much money? I can't help but think "$3.5m gets me 15 really good developers for a year, and a swimming pool filled with chocolate pudding, just for fun."

No, your goal is to instill fear in your enemy, not the kind of fear that makes them fight back like a wounded animal, but rather the kind of traumatic fear which makes them unlikely to treat you, or anybody else the same broken way again.

In 9th grade I threw a bully down a set of stairs, then proceeded to beat him with every bit of energy I had (not much, I was a fat kid). After he got out of the hospital, in casts, he stayed far, far away from me. That was the last time an

I'm not sure I've ever heard anybody complain about not being able to get their code away. Have there been any studies which show that a majority of developers wish they could give their code away?

There is no law stating that you have to open-source any of your software. Make the decision based on your company's business needs, not on popular opinion within a small engineering niche that probably doesn't constitute the majority or ev

Because it's so difficult to stand up and manipulate a television, or use the gasp remote control that came with it. I'm quite surprised YC would invest in a .. television company.

One of my friends is finishing up her P.hD in entymology at Cal and she's somewhere around $175k in debt now with no expectation of ever making more than $50k/year in her field (if she can work in it at all). Another went to a private unive

I disagree, especially considering the audience here. Most of us are trained at functioning for long periods of time without sleep, especially those of us in operations. I did all of the middle of the night diaper changing the first month,

Yeah, we got really lucky with Kaylee, she was always a night sleeper ... well sort of lucky, since I'm not really diurnal, but am rather nocturnal ... As for the books, yes. I feel that most of them are detrimental and written by quack new

Hire a housecleaner, don't even think about splurging on this. You want to spend the next few months with your family, not focusing on menial tasks. The $150/month I paid to have a team come and clean my house every Wednesday during the fir

Expect to spend at least $1,000/month in rent in San Francisco. The competition for anything less is fierce. Essentially you're competing with everybody who doesn't work in tech but wants a room. Ignore the guy who said "avoid SOMA" because

There's really no need to do that. A large enough BotNet can take out almost any host doing nothing more than connecting and doing a GET / HTTP/1.1. Few websites can handle a sudden surge in traffic from 100,000 bots.

So then, patriotic hackers (riiiiiiiiiight) like to target American websites that are critical of the Chinese government because they feel a sense of nationalistic pride? Bullshit.

I had a good talk with my ex-wife's uncle about this a few years ago. He's a record's archival specialist in Australia, and they seem to be doing a lot of work with Microfiche. Apparently it lasts quite a long time and is highly dense. They
