   Are you speaking from experience? It seems that if you completely do away with job titles, the politics would go away right?

   This is really sad news. I used to look at the Grooveshark interfaces with awe. You guys were always on top of your usability and design, right down to the 400 error pages. I really love the goal you guys had when you started on this journe

   What is considered legal and ethical are not always the same thing. Please keep that in mind, the law is not the be-all and end-all. Eventually we reverse laws because we catch up and realize they made no sense. So even the concept of what

    I'm wondering how much revenue gets lost every minute that Facebook is down. It has to be in the tens of thousands. Edit: someone wrote this below in the comments, which came to $400 per second of downtime. Ouch.

    I love that this link is here, IANAL, but I'm curious: would pasting this link here violate the CFAA or Web Entertainment Theft Bill since it's bypassing a paywall? Would it count as a misdemeanor in that case to actually follow t

    And his reply on Twitter is that he knows nothing about it, but did admit that one of his companies registered the domain. Classic Karpeles move.

    I called Mark Karpeles the DPR on Twitter and he replied "PHP is good for the right job." He's obviously guilty.

    I'm intentionally taking 4 days to reply to your comment because I didn't feel like I allowed enough time to say. In fact, I still don't think I've waited long enough, but I do at least feel good to say that it is workin

    I can say firsthand that company location is a much bigger deal than you'd imagine. Some people don't care, but others are extremely opinionated about it.

    To my fellow hackers/programmers out there: I worked as a mentor on a startup for a while that taught people how to program. One thing that's really frustrating to a beginner to hear is "it's really not that hard."

    I ride a GSXR 600 and it has the same 3.2 sec 0-60. It still rattles me every time I push it that fast. I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around how they can replicate that experience inside of an _electric_ car. Can't wait to t

    I think that would make Sam Altman a really good seed investor. If you're looking at the odds of a startup succeeding big in general, it's way lower than 5/40.

    It simply doesn't apply. A black swan is a rare event that is almost certain to happen (or at least one of them will) that will destroy vast amounts of wealth. Black swan events are unpredictable and have enormous impact. Whether the

    I don't follow your logic here. What rules do seed stage startups break when it comes to Black Swan theory?
