There are many many great people in industries/services that just haven't led them to be technologists. They might have everything you don't - which is key to building a great team.

Us too. You might be interested in this work though: http://swfupload.org/forum/generaldiscussion/790?page=1 Another reason we use this - we use PHP, so we'd also have to use Ruby or Perl to do progress bars.

Starting with slide 9, the US is compared on "specifics". It points to our energy and transportation infrastructure leading to a bigger crisis for the US. I think the latter slides are interesting, and energy/transportation is by far our bi

no. Strange, I guess there is an inner sanctum of sanctimonious downmodders.

We need a new economy. Tech guys create jobs, and save money for old companies with ease. I mean, what's the utility of some of these idiots? Seems like the next phase of obsoletes are just raping the system before they're noticed as compl

Server side javascript isn't completely new idea, but I really like the option. I'm happy in PHP, Python, but it simplifies architecture if you can create a library that blurs the line between client and cloud.

Ok, so it's not THE onion, but it is fun looking. Like Sim City - though I miss Godzilla. Good start. Google mashup might have been easier, or fire eagle data more compelling.

no. C precedes C++ (and uses the same basic syntax) and C++ changes the paradigm to object oriented (but like C is statically typed and compiled). Ruby and Python are part of the same paradigm of dynamic, object oriented languages.

Great news. A little concerned with: "Amazon EBS also charges $0.10 per 1 million I/O requests you make to your volume." How many I/O requests does your system make a day?

Is recognizing one's self what "self aware" means? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-awareness http://www.answers.com/topic/self-awareness Maybe these are the robots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMkHYE9-R0A

Ok, so maybe AI will be "self aware" some day too. Until then, I'd like to have GW and Hanna Montana studied.

It's simple: Hacker news is an open community right now - and the time policing the content would be a bigger waste of time than the current proportion of less interesting content, which you only need to skip. I'm glad I don't police the si

Regardless of merit, I like that it is javascript, free, and a focused demo. The idea that there are other ways to read a page is captivating. Losing page context happens with audio books as well. Suggested Improvements: * A hotspot animati

Realizing I like the question - because the better the failure story, the closer to success you might have been. Failure is a desirable state when compared to stagnant, anonymity. Don't have great failure story relating to startups - wishin

As a CS northeastern Alum (who didn't do co-op), I can say that the students there have a chance to taste the "real world" - and the alternation between co-op and school keeps knowledge of the applied and theoretical fresh.

I was in the last Bar Camp Miami, great time. If you go with an open mind and less of a mission, it's great. The camps attract curious, ambitious, and savvy folk - not just for Bar Hoppers! I'm moving back to Boston just in time for this on

To amplify a key point: I think the core of your issue is "findability". It's not hard to collect a lot of internet stuff, or even your own ideas using different software - finding it again is the difficult task. I'm in the http://twine.co
