Part of the reason he started Mint was because he was very financially conscious. It would be silly of him to reverse course on that now. He's a smart man. Congratulations Aaron. Good work.

I think it just shows that open source isn't immune to the same kinds of problems that plague commercial software. As the market for a product expands, so too do the features people require for the software to work within an ecosystem of o

The upload process is already time consuming. Doesn't hurt it much to include the resize processing with the upload. People want the images to appear quickly every time. Disk space is cheap and you want requests to images to go to the re

The venture capital market is crumbling. It used to cost a lot of money to build a company, but not anymore and VCs are no longer the gatekeepers to success. Their exits are puny and most of them fail. They are hunting needles in haystac

You have to look at it realistically. Yes, you can google it. But do you can your own vegetables at your house? You can google how to do that too, but do you? You can google how to fix your car, but do you do that? You can google how to

Exactly! And the real issues are that our society isn't concerned with producing bright scientists, engineers, and researchers. They are concerned with producing more pop stars, tv stars, athletes, etc... The inventors, innovators, and sc

Once a year for quite a while now the National Opinion Research Council has asked Americans whether, on the whole, the are very happy, pretty happy, or not too happy. Since the early 1950s the percentage of people who counted themselves "v

A lot of statistics say that we are getting less happy over time. Sure, numerically, we are living longer, infant mortality is declining, but we are less happy. Isn't happiness the goal? Are we really better off if we are unhappy?

I just wasted 4+ minutes of life watching that video. I saw no smack down or anything unbrilliant about what he said. I didn't make out anything brilliant either i'm just saying I don't see any relevance in that video to anything I said be

Yes. I tend to disagree with members of both the far right and far left, but there are brilliant people at both ends. Whenever I talk about Pat Buchanan around a group of liberals, they go nuts, but I think he speaks well and his arguments

You said, "Bear in mind"... I chuckled. But seriously, I think there is a range of cognitive ability. Some animals and perhaps fish or reptiles, living or dead, or birds even, are smarter than others, this is probably true, or at least app

I initially thought, "Contradicts Occam's Razor..." But then I thought more. It also contradicts physics and the path of least resistance. But doesn't life contradict physics? Why should there be something that wants to take energy from

It really astounds me, the arrogance with which people talk about animals not being conscious. How can they pretend to know what is in the mind of those animals? We can communicate with them. Maybe not as completely as we'd like, but t

FU money isn't only a big lump sum of cash. It can also be a residual flow of payments for SaaS or royalties or dividends. As long as that money is coming in every month, you're fine and can do most anything you want as well. Flipping a co

This article just spurred a thought about our health care crisis. How are they connected? Debt enabled consumers to pay more for products, so the price of the product increased. They could pay more, because the monthly payments were low -

Still not always true. It's not a lot cheaper to run on your own hardware. Have you factored in shipping costs, depreciation, infrastructure management time, distractions, opportunity costs, colocation costs, interest. These things add u

That is far from true. There are lots of things to do to get a site up and running that don't require managing infrastructure. If you spend time "doing it yourself," then you don't spend a lot of time and money on other parts of the busi
