I agree with the overall sentiment expressed in Thiel's monopoly theory. However, it seems like the whole problem is defining the market in the first place. We can define search, ecommerce and payments as part of larger markets and&#x2

slight nitpick: i agree with you (i.e i dont think people should be complaining about the markup) but this issue is not that obvious when the "users" are the "programmers" complaining....

This is exactly right. I strongly disagree any sentiment that's basically equivalent to "they had it easier back then". There are always fields which are too deep for the newbie to penetrate...that's why the newbie eithe

Just based off this google search: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=rigetti&btnG=&as_s... I'm going to guess it's Josephson Junction based. Possibly similar to D-Wave in that it's based o

thanks for the response. Are your systems superconducting/atomic/spintronic etc? Are they an instance of adiabatic computing? Curious about these sorts of details.

@crigetti details are sparse both in the article and on your website. Quantum Computing is a pretty dear topic to me and so it'd be great to hear some more high level details on what it is Rigetti does. Merci Beaucoup.

Looks neat but can you add a github (or google/otheroauthprovider) login...the register page is way too daunting for me. Either that or provide an account-less mode for trying out the product before prompting signup..and even then i&#x

For me i find that readability is a good reason to declare functions as vars inside a function. It's much easier to follow (pseudo) code that says function handleCustomers = init some variables, var processCustomer = some function defi

This is my feeling as well. I'd add the caveat that design shouldn't be interpreted merely as "front end work" or "ui". You also have to design your algorithms, data models/structures, features, and an opt

It sounds like what you want is to do is to limit yourself to a startup that's already in growth stage (so series A and above with a clear hockey stick present and future). Within this group of startups you want to find team and passio

i'm sorry, don't mean to be harsh at all, but this is just a bad idea.

The following kinds of interactions are useful to founders: 1) Simply talking about another person's startup with them for more than an hour makes that person feel like they are not alone in a world seemingly filled with Googlers and

Neat. Should probably call out that it's an API for "gender classification of english names". Did you build this mostly for learning/personal purposes?

i agree with the spirit of this but the flaw in this reasoning is an assumption that all hours are equal. Working consistent 80 hour weeks is the reason we got the Mac as well as Facebook. The extreme outcome possible due to one local
