This is absolutely right. For any movement, there are those that take an uncompromising extreme view. This is not to appeal to the other side, but to move the goal posts as far in their direction as possible. Think Stallman, Nader, Ron P

Religions are complex systems that can be used for good or evil -- it's the people that choose which. You can find justification for nearly every action in the bible -- but, to do that, I think, is a gross perversion of the overall spirit

Your good news is that atheists are going to burn in hell for eternity. My beliefs don't eliminate all meaning and purpose in my life -- that's just silly to think about atheists. I am trying to make a difference with my life, not because

The p prints the randomly chosen line -- wc -l is the number of lines in the file, (random % lines-in-file) picks a random one, 'sed -n 30p' prints the 30th line.

That's why I prefaced it with "from a business point of view" -- to imply that it isn't the "sole purpose", but it's certainly looked at. I'm not saying that they will game the system by forcing page-views when not needed by the product, bu

In the link you provided to the OP's website, right after quoting the FB email, he writes: We obviously did not “pre fill” any fields without any user action.

The difference is that recruiters get paid by clients and sell candidates. The candidates are the product, and when they can't sell one, they just drop them. I try to never give negative feedback on candidates back to recruiters, or else t

He probably has insurance, and since he controls his company's insurance, he probably picked something reasonable. You also need to do that to be competitive at hiring in this space. It won't literally cost nothing to have a medical emerge

From a business point of view, what Google will care about is pageviews and pageviews/user (because that determines the #of ads they can show). It may be that having fewer friends makes you update more and check more often (because it's mor

I have access, but none of the invite workarounds seem to work any more. If you know of one, I'd be willing to try it.

I made an offer to a guy for a job in the late nineties and he said that he was going to work on his startup instead. It was called "Grouper" and it let you find other people to negotiate group discounts with. He actually had some working

I have this problem with nearly every startup mentioned on HN -- it's not that some of them don't have good names -- there's just too many of them. Then, when I have the actual problem that I saw the solution for, they have no SEO yet, so

It probably means that the precedent has been established already -- so future courts are likely to just accept it rather than having to go through a re-hearing of Benford from the very beginning.

If you don't include time, this graph is worthless. It's not just the exit amount, but how long it took you to get there. I think PG pointed out at Startup School that super-angels seem to be going for quick M&As, not IPOs, and that

Imagine applying STUXNET style cracking to this -- they would not explode "logic bombs" immediately. Instead you might have months or years of penetration into the live systems, the backups, the recovery systems, etc. Maybe they figure out

I think his point is that saying we're in a bubble should mean that the right thing to do now is divest, because you can't precisely pick the date that it will end. It might not be immediate -- you might want to ride the bubble a little --

Ben's challenge was to name the date of the collapse of the bubble, and suggested that without that, there was no meaning to the phrase that we're in a bubble. Steve gave a large range (5-10 years) and changed the subject. Ben's point was

There have always been third-party Apple-centric stores. SmallDog in VT, TekServe in NYC -- they still exist. Could it have just been an Apple authorized retailer? Before Apple stores, you could go to CompUSA, and there was an Apple secti

PG had a line recently like -- "we're looking for teams building BASIC for the Altair" -- an obvious reference to Microsoft. And Gates and Allen had a business before that analyzing traffic data or something.
