Clearest, most concise and level-headed summary of the whole ordeal. This comment is what I'll be linking to people who ask me to explain what's happened.

The possibility of them being acquired is discussed quite a bit, but of what value is Gox to a potential acquirer at this point, considering they've indeed hemorrhaged money? What remaining assets or loyal customer base would make it w

I am not surprised one bit. Not directly related to the article, but more to the issue at large: One thing many people fail to realize is that humans can be terribly, terribly corrupt. There are those among us who, without a drop of guilt o

Hey man, where you are now is where I've been a million times before. I've spent almost a decade trying to properly learn programming, jumping from tutorial to book to language to online course. I'm trying it again, but this

What a weird, unnecessarily long and comprehensive response to a well-intentioned and relatively neutral advisory comment.

I experienced a similar change in mindset regarding the valley and the tech scene, catalyzed by recent trips out to SF that left me with a very uneasy feeling. The uneasiness, I think, came from realizing that the community I wanted to be a

Really well done. What's now painfully obvious to me that I hadn't realized before seeing your design is how much easier cognitively it is to place the destinations horizontally. Makes a ton of sense and you rarely see that.

I notice this quite a bit amongst my libertarian acquaintances. They tend to believe in a world built on complete freedom to exercise self-interest provided their self-interests are to be held up no matter the cost or damage to others and s

When you understand that the majority of people out there are followers, cannot be bothered to risk making anything on their own, are in constant search of leaders to tell them what to say and believe, and take the lowest-effort path to app

Medicine and business are two very different areas with aspects of each that may even seem polar opposite. As a physician, you are taught and trained to approach problems in a very calculating and methodical manner, to avoid risk as much as

Funnily enough, I watched Dr. Strangelove for the first time last night and was saddened by the assumed accuracy of its portrayal of political and governmental theater.

Great article. What I have come to appreciate more and more about physicians is their on-the-fly algorithmic decision-making ability whereby the doctor must account for factors that go well beyond pathophysiology and extend into statistics,

Agreed. Maybe I'm not part of that culture or fully understand it, but as I get older into my late-20s, this type of stuff puts me off more and more.

You're not a weirdo. Left-handed people are smarter anyway. (South paw here who uses his phone with his right hand.)

Can someone in the know shed some light on how a CEO of a corporation this big gets selected, from searching for and vetting candidates to the competition involved amongst nominees vying for the position? I imagine it's less about an a

That's literally the entire point of this type of visual marketing: to help you envision a fantasy world that's attainable with a particular product. Apple, BMW, Chanel, etc, all do it.

I hate alcohol. It's putrid to me. I've tried drinking everything from some of the better brewed beers to sweeter wines, and I just can't stand the taste. So when I go to a social event that heavily involves drinking, I opt f

I'm excited to give this a spin, and that's saying a lot considering I haven't touched FB in a few years now. It's nice to see them innovating with new ideas and products, instead of iterating on their existing main plat

Mind linking to a few you find particularly insightful? I'm sure many of us would be more than appreciative.

This sounds pretty fascinating. Do you have any links/resources that dives more in depth into this approach?

But can't you look at this event in the same light? To women, blacks, etc, entering a given field in which you are underrepresented, you are no different than a first time founder with concerns, reservations, a desire to connect with p
