This is awesome! Is there documentation anywhere on how to get this set up? Also, does this mean you're resuming work on decac?

Ha! It's a long story. Let's just say I made a lot of mistakes over the course of the next few years. You live, you learn.

My first full-time job offer as I was wrapping up college in 2007 was from Meebo. At the time, they were about 12 employees. I didn't realize it at the time, as it was my first time going through the interview/offer dance, but having much m

R.I.P. Good Time v1.0 ended up marking the trough (not the peak) of the last cycle. That said, I have more faith in pg's market timing abilities than in Sequoia's.

Do you have a link for those spirited discussions about getting young men into his hotel room? After a cursory search, the only such discussion I could find was about John Draper, not Stallman. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1914498

There's a useful distinction between companies that sell technology and companies that use tech for competitive advantage. However, language is defined by how we use it. In common parlance, "tech company" means the latter kind of company. N

The author is proposing to serve his site entirely from S3, claiming it's better than using a couple of nginx boxes because S3 has eleven nines of durability. Durability means you will get your data eventually (it will not be lost). Availab

Collaboration is hard. It's harder when you're not in the same room. You can bend over backwards to try to make remote collaboration productive, but the state-of-the-art is nowhere near as good as being in the same room, at least for some k

Classes at Stanford are offered by a particular department. They also have a course number and a title. They can be described as "DEPT ### - Title". In this case, it will be "CS 183: Startup".

As you suspect, raw volume is a poor signal. We take a lot of other things into account: repeat visits, proportion of visitors that left a tip, the "sentiment" of the tips, etc.

We don't charge merchants money for listing specials, and we don't sell search results. If and when we let merchants advertise on foursquare, all ads will be clearly marked as such. There are a couple of reasons we might have recommended th

I agree the programming assignments have been very easy. However, I doubt they have the bandwidth to manually grade thousands of assignments. Given the scale of the class, the grading is forces to be automated. It's hard to come up with suc

Actually, until mid-2010, Gowalla raised more money, earlier, than foursquare did. By then, the "check-in wars" were pretty much over. Per Crunchbase[1][2]: In 2008, Gowalla raised $2m, foursquare raised nothing. In 2009, Gowalla raised $8.

It does whatever you want it to do. ~->, <~<, and %% are just method names. It parses like: val foo = bar.~->(45).<~<("Fred").%%(x) If those same methods were called a, b, and c instead, it would parse like:

Even if it were just the emails where they don't already map to a meaningful response... With N million users, odds are high that at least N thousand of them: are irrational, just need someone to talk to, can't express themselves in writing
