Oh, I can outdo you! Many years ago I did an upstart that was a combination of delicious and facebook, using bayesian filtering to locate links and people you might be interested in from what you posted yourself. Incredibly clever product.

You know what commands respect in my book? Actually doing something. Doing a startup is hard, getting as many users as formspring is even harder. You know what doesn't command respect? Being an armchair quarterback snarking that they should

I don't think it's dismissive - it's a valid question, it was the first question that popped into my head too when seeing it. "What's the point of this?" I simply didn't (and still don't) understand it. That's very different from a dismissi

Douglas Adams is the only author I've come across who has used recursion in fiction. " in short, all the paraphernalia common to all restaurants where little expense has been spared to give the impression that no expense has been spared. "

Good question. Apache, myqql and PHP comes in a single install package, so you download, click to install and find your home directory where you can start writing code. No configuration necessary. That's important to me, because configurati

Thanks for the comment, I know what a command line is, I just find it incredibly confusing and unintuitive. To exemplify here are a few of the problems I run into when faced with a command line: - what can I do here? There are no tips, clue

I don't think people are intentionally trying to be mean, but sometimes it appears that way to others. Generally this site is full of smart people with strong opinions, and for the most part that's a good thing that drives some interesting

Ah, yes that is weird once you start thinking about it. As a native speaker I've never given it a second thought, but I can certainly see how it would be confusing.

You're right, and I know. I have an education in economics :-) The reason I omitted it was the difficult problem of explaining a complex subject in very few words, and still pointing the finger at banks. If you tell joe six-pack that his m

here's one: You're paying an interest rate on your car, your mortgage and your bank loan right? OK, that interest rate is set by the bank. The way they do that is to use LIBOR, and add a bit on top which is their profit. So your loans follo

It's not about technology, it's about psychology. If you're the target market for this phone you don't care much about the functionality, what you care about is that other people can see that you have so much money that you can carelessly t

religions have an uncanny ability to either ignore scientific facts or bend their religion to fit with the facts. Remember that originally it was thought that the Earth was in the center of the universe because God had put it there. When th

I believe that a lot of factors go into determining the rank, including domain, poster, and probably more. So it's hard to compare 2 submissions. That said, if flagging pulls the submission down, which I believe it does, then it's an obviou

Judging by the screenshots Microsoft still doesn't get design and why it's important. It's not just about polish, it's about a user experience where the overall design decisions saturate the whole device. Similar design elements must have t

I don't claim in the blogpost that technical and practical concerns are less important, on the contrary. I even write that in the article, but maybe it isn't clear enough. My argument is, condensed, that in order to build a mass produced ca

Very accurate assessment, but although battery technology has proved to be a hard nut to crack I think it might happen within the next few years. There are sectors of the economy that dearly need electrical storage and are willing to pay fo

I think there are some rather poor arguments in the post. The primary one seems to be that imperial units are easier to eyeball, but I'd say that's only because the author is used to the imperial system. If you're used to meters and not fee
