Today, in one of the four cities that birthed the very first connections made to the proto-internet (Berkeley), I am finally getting a second broadband option other than Comcast. I'm an hour in to a 4 hour window waiting for my Sonic i

My bouts of wanting to build a competitor usually arise when I'm trying to find something I'd assume would be a feature and isn't, and I'm having a hard time remembering everything, but: 1) I desperately want a feature t

I read quite a bit and generally like Goodreads for what it is, but I agree that it's essentially not grown at all in 12 years. There are parts that are broken, there are features that are lacking, and it frustrates me to no end. Many

I'm glad the article brought up Prop 13. It is my belief that Prop 13 is the biggest cancer on the state of California, and one that we will almost never be rid of. Prop 13 is why people don't move. Prop 13 is why California occas

Studies have shown that in liberal democracies, state supported* [e: I forget the exact term used] media tends to be the least editorially biased (individual reporters and journalists still have biases) and most educational (e.g. BBC, NPR).

A claim that the prestige/name recognition of a school is a network effect is just plain wrong. More than half these examples are not network effects. Don't dilute the term in to uselessness by making its borders infinite.

No employee is breaking laws in an effort to further the objectives of a company in a vacuum. A CEO is absolutely not absolved of crimes committed in the name of the company, especially over the span of a decade.

Man do I ever fucking disagree. I do not want to have a face to face meeting or a video call when a 20 second IM chat will suffice. Stop wasting my fucking time because you want to push your extroversion on everyone.
