I guess it depends on how you're using it - I don't really notice the weight in my backpack, and I don't walk around with my laptop otherwise. Also from the post: While at the same time forgoing things that you will notice every time

The macbook air has an 800MHz frontside bus, which isn't even fast enough to take advantage of last-generation SSD performance. You would get better performance from the unibody macbook and a 3rd party SSD (1066MHz fsb), and even better per

I haven't read the COIN book, but if you want to get aggressive you can go for "Elements of Statistical Learning". Free pdf download, probably not a one-flight book: http://www-stat.stanford.edu/~tibs/ElemStatLearn/ side note: Nat, did y

thanks. As first non-founder, 2nd person overall, I wasn't a fan of dixon's post either - a little too masturbatory for my taste.

cool, is that in cocoa? for some reason I draw a distinction between "development" and writing little utilities for personal use, maybe because my little utilities aren't as pretty.

. . . but then you aren't really developing on an iphone, in any meaningful sense anyway - all the "iphoneness" has been replaced, so it's effectively no different than any apple device with a cpu - ipad, mac mini, macbook etc. I think she

The most surprising thing for me: python was much more stable then java at the time. Checking wikipedia, python was released 4 years before java. I always just assumed python was a more recent language.

So I wonder what happens if someone had a trip booked and someone else decided to rent out the village for that day? Presumably they could be denied access to any public or private venue.

If you can drop $70k/night, do you really need airBnB to secure an island for a week? Definitely more marketing stunt than anything, but also definitely brilliant.

Do 90% give up with $100k in the bank without taking additional funding rounds? I see the benefit of the convertible note from the investing founder's standpoint, and I appreciate the violence of your disagreement, but you've misaligned the
