To be honest, the default behavior of silently resetting the session and not throwing seems wrong to me. It's reasonable to only store user auth information in a cookie, so resetting the session doesn't have the intended effect of logging

I've been using these APIs for a little while now and they're awesome. So nice to not have to build this yourself.

This is a segway feature -- amazing technology, incredibly embarrassing to use in public.

The way I read it, Chamath doesn't think the company will be as successful if this is the way employees are treated. That's a perfectly valid reason to pass -- it doesn't seem like a right vs. wrong stance.

If they won't even tell you the # of fully diluted shares, I'd run away fast. Sounds like you made the right move.

This makes no sense. Surely Google believes GPA is a good predictor of performance, but isn't on the job performance the ultimate measurement? How long did you work there?

I really like Flickr still. I worry about what will happen to it longterm.

My point is that data portability should be transitive. If by manually entering a friend's email address I 'own' that data, and it is thus valid for me to export, any service that imports that data should also allow exporting it. Otherwis

Fair point. Once I've imported my gmail contacts into Facebook though, I then should be able to import them out of Facebook by that logic?

YouTube never charged a subscription to see copyrighghted material and held back 'royalties' the owner never agreed to. I'll be surprised if grooveshark is still around in 1 year. Look at playlist.com, imeem, etc.

Inflation will be an issue at some point in the future, but with high unemployment I don't think it's likely for several years. If you're risk averse, broader market decline is a bigger worry than inflation IMO.

I think Cuban is comparing vs the March '09 low when the market was down 40% from now. He made several posts during that time about actual purchasing stocks.

Despite quantitative easing, we haven't experienced any significant inflation. In fact, we are getting very close to a deflation. If you have a very pessimistic view of the stock market's future, reducing risk by being in cash make a lot of
