Great! Let's see what we have here. Random guy from Greed Street is giving sound advice on what's good for his cousin's soul and something about hope? Oh, it's a sarcastic piece. Phew! Wait a minute... I'm so glad

Something's amiss. Why is a fund created to solve a problem that no one seems to have discovered? From another article regarding this: "No one was sure, on Thursday, just what those practical applications would be." This is

So advice given by experienced startup founders won't resonate unless you've already walked the path. I somewhat agree with the conclusion. But does this mean we don't learn much from reading or listening to things we don&#x2

Unfairly down voted. Although I understand no one wants to hear bad news. Let's do this: meet me here in May/June and we'll see if my "prediction" of the effect of continued tapering is somewhat accurate. Here'

Because it was created by Linus for Linux, a systems kernel. Very few people need to interact with a kernel. And the ones who do are so technically advanced they put up with the steep curve inherent to using Git. The fact that Git has gaine

Fed tapering means there's less liquidity in the markets. That's because they're buying up less risky assets off the financial institutions. Less money in the market means less "free" cash available to be loaned up

We'll see many more layoffs like this in the coming weeks / months as the Fed tapers off. This is macro related.

Stripe doesn't seem to try at all when it comes to intangible + chargeback. It's tougher to prove illegal chargebacks on virtual goods (intangible). Paypal is willing to take any logs, communication, correspondence, and user infor

So excited about the prospects but I just can't get past this sentence: Rounding out the SoCs, they'll also include dedicated engines for cryptography and compression. "They" have ruined it for me...

Reads familiar? The outage pattern is identical to the one impacting GitHub January 8 [1] with my comment in the thread discussing the root cause [2]. Systems generating config files and then pushing them out to services within the infrastr

Ever since I stumbled upon this Steve Jobs submission on HN [1], anything positive I read about this man is disdain. There's a dark cloud hanging around his work. I'm getting the vibe that others are feeling the same way too. I do

This is one of those times when you take a step back, reflect, and look at the big picture. However much excited I am about my project, I realize that the stuff these guys are working on hits all the right notes. And then some.

I can definitely use something like this but I'm not sure I would want a whole page dedicated to testimonials. Perhaps as a side tab that once clicked becomes an in-page popup (just like uservoice's). That's much cleaner I th

I'm suspecting the attacker infiltrated the server and left a note on the server for the admins to read. The note might have mentioned that an ex plo sive is in the building. Upon reporting the breach (along with the note) to the autho

These are some of the corner cases that are put on the back burner en route to delivering an MVP. Just like you don't do early optimization of an infrastructure, you almost never enumerate all possible issues that can crop up under a l
