Awesome work. I wanted to let you know that the erase function is not working on Firefox 3.6.19 Mac. I share the image with a Safari browser and the image there is erased when I erase in FF window but the erasure doesn't show up in the FF w

This seems more like an attempt at rationalizing "equity" (in the social sense) rather than motivating performance, which is fine. I would love to hear what the document is that guarantees execution of their promise at a sale. And why not p

1. A/B/C test it on your actual users. Everything else is a just a guess. 2. Having said that, my guess is that the first would generate the most opens. The second seems spammy and the third sounds invasive plus "more work."

I had heard about this a while ago, but cool to see it in action in public.

It actually doesn't follow that someone with domain knowledge is "the worst person to ask if there is a bubble." Furthermore, people who are successful tend to be coldly honest about reality, and that is how PG strikes me. I feel confident

If you are not comfortable talking directly to the person about something so important, why would you ever want to get "married" to him? He wants to run your life, has no experience with his role, and you are afraid that if you express what

You mean "nominative determinism" in like, He was good at BILLing people to get money and setting up GATES to sharing of software, and a STEVE is a crown wearer who created JOBS for the creative class? Nope, nothing there...

I thought antitrust regulation was aimed at preventing collusion and price fixing by trusts of companies. Do you see that as different from a single company with a monopoly? You say that antitrust regulations are not necessary in a free eco

So I mentioned greed is good for context not judgment, but to actually answer your question as to whether I think Competitive Strategy catalyzed anything, I would have to answer "yes", but only based anecdotally on graduating from an Ivy Le

You make another interesting point about his relevancy, since as I read the article, it really felt it was more like coattail riding by a consultant, moving from advocating a CSR framework to a "the new new thing is" CSV framework, upon whi

In a way your correct criticism of my using the word drove actually supplied the word that would have been better to use, catalyze. I think his books, and articles catalyzed a corporate movement that might have happened with or without his

Since no one is excluded from creating a copyright or patent, I don't think it is accurate to call it a "special privilege..." Having intellectual property rights and how they are enforced (or not) are two different things, and the fact th

The reason the article is of note is that one of the authors is Michal E. Porter, author of books on strategy that was seized upon to drive much of the "Greed is Good" Wall Street culture since the 80s. He is a Harvard Business School profe

Your wife wouldn't be angry at you if your projects made money. Your track record so far is spending a lot of time on projects that you don't complete, so why wouldn't she be angry? Pick ONE smaller project that adds enough value to a user

yes, mostly lame. The owl is cute. Why would someone sign up if they have no idea what you are doing or offering? What kind of person do you think would sign up? Is that kind of person your business target? Slowly spoon-feeding info to the

College is like bundled software. You're buying a basket of goods, some of the items, probably all, are not the best-of-class, but you get an overall value that some people think is worth the cost and time, particularly if they don't think

As far as the "dealing it out and not taking it," I only expressed my personal opinion about a subject, I wasn't attacking anyone personally, as others, in my opinion, did to me. Having said that, I never thought I was "dealing it out" to a

Actually someone did do that and called me an "idiot" for thinking free soloing is cool. But you are right, the fact that I don't see the appeal of the middle ground, and that I expressed my opinion in a "subjectively rude manner" was a mis

well, the footage was from 25 years ago, and it didn't get any publicity so I don't think it was a stunt. I seem to recall the footage as have being shot from very far away, so I don't think the guy brought a camera crew. You may be right,

For what it's worth, I never called, to the best of my recollection, anyone a "real climber" or not. Having said that, I want to apologize to anyone who was offended by what I did say.

I wasn't trolling, but clearly my words offended people and I apologize to anyone I offended. Clearly there are many people who are passionate about rock climbing and resented my ignorance. So I wanted to apologize to anyone who was hurt or
