This is a great post on a topic that is quite close to our hearts since we are a science-startup as well. I think that this situation is a symptom of the mentality, 'You can't be fired for buying IBM.' It is so much easier to give money to

In that case it would be nice if people would stop bashing janitors.

I did. The comparison seems to imply that being a CEO is not all that it's made out to be. It's like being the fucking janitor. Which is why I ask what is wrong with being a janitor.

True. I think that people who think that they are scientific like to believe certain things just as much as people who are not scientific. I am sure that if you sat Jonah down and asked him to prove any of these things there would be a squi

I wonder why people hate on believing that the sun revolves around the earth. It would make for more complicated equations of motion, but is not unscientific or wrong to believe that to be the case. It just turns out that the math is easier

This comment is willfully ignorant. Are you just upset that he is competing on price? Given his cost structure it makes perfect sense for him to want to deliver desirable projects for great customers at a great price. Clearly you know that

By the same token, rent-controlled apartments are unjust to the non-techies who are not in them. To me it is plausible that the average price of an apartment would actually drop if they were no rent-controlled apartments. You would have mor

I think that the tech scene in nyc is anti-correlated with the stock market. I remember there was no activity when I was there and it started picking up post 2008 when the banks started laying off/stopped hiring technical people... If the s

Isn't this the same Michael Wolf that Loeb, the activist hedge fund manager, picked for Yahoo's board? If this is how he feels about businesses driven by online ads I wonder what he thinks of Yahoo's odds.

I got annoyed when I got into a disagreement with a moderator and was kicked out of a room repeatedly. I am not sure how many others had a similar experience but I just left the site after that. It made the site feel unwelcoming.
