A lot of people from the US seem to forget that they're excluding the majority of customers by asking you to enter a zipcode that will only work in the US. It's incredibly annoying if you're part of that majority. With that said - good luck

The thing is that it goes both ways. The liquidity that they provide can just as quickly be pulled back as we saw during the Lehman collapse. I'm not sure it provides value.

I see it more as breaking the system in order to gain a financial advantage on someone elses behalf - which would be akin to cracking. Your point is taken though.

Cracker, not hacker, is what he means. Annoying mistake.

I'm curios about the tests. Can you expand?

That is so very true. Great companies know this and have the guts to go ahead and make the needed changes anyway. Your point also hints at the fact that asking users isn't always the right thing to do - often they don't know exactly what th

This is one of the few books that really changed how I think about the world in a big way. If you haven't read it do so.

The problem with this isn't technical - it's getting users. You need users to get users, social networks aren't much fun if your friends haven't joined. Joel Spolsky has written a good article on this: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/article

Spot on. According to this site: http://www.adherents.com/largecom/com_atheist.html it's the third most atheist country in the world.

That is interesting. I've never discussed religion with my parents or other family - just assumed them to be agnostic. Maybe I'm wrong...

I strongly disagree. Just because something hasn't been proven to be false it doesn't mean it's true. It hasn't been decisively proven that the Earth wasn't sneezed out of the nose of a giant space-goat, but that doesn't mean that the goat-

This is a very typical religious argument. It puts religion, in this case Christianity, on a piedestal where it doesn't belong if you don't happen to be Christian. The original statement in it's logic form is this: You believe in 530 gods,

That depends entirely on who you are, and I'd say your view is a bit prejudiced. I'm from one of the most atheist countries in the world, and to tell you the truth I don't think I've ever had a serious conversation with friends or family di

A small nitpick: "Estonians invented another icon of internet cool: Skype." Skype was invented by Janus Friis, a dane, and Niklas Zennnstrøm, a swede. They did outsource a lot of their development to Estonia though.

Interesting to note from a success story how little tech and how much marketing was involved.

It's just like any other dream - it has upsides and downsides. I wouldn't trade it for anything else though, and I can't imagine moving back into a small box in the middle of a crammed city. If you're a bit of a handyman and know what to lo
