Amazing (and awesome) to see that several HNers are Exile fans. I always viewed their paper as a kind of startup, except the goal being to piss off the establishment rather than make money.

At first glance I thought for sure that his critics are probably just jealous bitter old anti-youth types who think young people need to be kept in line. But upon checking out his website, it is very hard to figure out what he actually does

It doesn't seem to be too typical outside of Fortune 500 companies. It's actually nice to see a 'hacker' entrepreneur spending his wealth.

This kind of "awkwardness" is felt as a result of being stuck in your head. It's only awkward if you're worried about making a mistake. But you can relax, you're allowed to make mistakes. No one except you really cares if you said something

Not to mention that most startup founders in the western world come from affluent families, so quitting a great job to do a startup isn't particularly risky for them since they normally won't end up on the street if they fail. Bouncers and

Hilarious video...but it reminds me of the painful fact that I know very little about databases so choosing between SQL and noSQL for my web app just seems arbitrary for me. I wish there were some simpler explanations out there.
