   Hmm... I guess that newspapers' collapse means mostly lack of deep analysis in one place; instead, you'll have to find them in many blogs, and sometimes it is hard to either find them or evaluate their credibility. There's also a personal b

   You're always able to evaluate an experiment to a full-fledged startup. And, however odd it sounds, very frequently I'm much more effective when I know that no one counts on me, and I'm free to experiment. It gives a little competentive edg

   Personally I think the best way to fight fair in a relationship is to maintain less close emotional commitment, so there's no big fear of lose, and to try to point out an unfair tricks (eg, "You're just trying to make me feel shame without

   That's why I wish I could have ThinkPad with OS X, without spending too much time on non-standard configuration. ;-)

   I don't care about someone's unresolved childhoold issues, as long as he submits good work.

    All tests resulting in credentials are kinda boring and useless.

    Does it mean that if 15 mastered Python, it says more about Python than a guy? If so, what it precisely says?

    And how you'd handle money creation? And what about UST and bonds? They're loans as well. How you'd finance the govs debt? With taxes? You have the point, though, that less money would make the assets cheaper. But this is monetary 101.

    I think that in case of tarsnap it is relatively hard to make the decision if you don't have basic knowledge in cryptography, at least. That's why the information assymetry occurs and thus signalling has much more impact on it.

    To be rich means a lot of things. You can be named rich if you have either $10M or $10bn in the bank. Let's say, realistically, that I have $10M. First of all I'd cut all unnecessary costs, rent a smaller flat and spend a year thinking abou

    Mostly yes. The another thing that can be added to your last paragraph is that frequently the code speaks for itself, and suggests you solutions to the problems.

    Worth reading for this single phrase: "Our approach is not to set a goal. Our approach has been to create the best physical model and let customers choose".

    Yes. This is a double-edged sword, though. The similar bubble happens if you constantly read that some assets are going to rise infinitely (eg, real estate). See Soros' reflexivity.
