To extend this line of thinking - you are (possibly) not an immigrant only if you were born in Africa - our place of origin.

Had an early look into this book and I can vouch that the book definitely shows everything you need from zero to an AWS working EMR.

OK, what does this mean exactly - "All founders equityshall be subject to a repurchase right"? Sorry if this is supposed to be obvious, but this is the first term-sheet I've encountered.

Until this post I was never interested in Udemy, even though I've heard their name. And now I have to say WOW - what a great model and they're executing it well. I remember when Google opened adwords to agencies and people could start selli

Exactly! Contribute, be visible and relevant. If you're not putting in the effort, at the end of the day, no one will hire you, old or young or whatever. It's a classic story of where circumstances are to blame in the case of you failing, a

I didn't even assume to look at the alias, since in my mind there was no doubt a man was behind that statement... Fixed my comment :) and this made me want to read a blog post from MaggieL even more so!

You should write a counter-post expanding on what you've said, because this, especially the ending "choose yourself a new profession", is super out-of-whack. All the power to people like you, Ma'am!

This is unbelievable... I mean what can be done when everyone is just high as f and just basically trippin all day. Afganistan is OK with how things are now, it seems, so I guess the only relevant take away from this, just leave the country

Probably, but you're only counting the tangible value. In my mind what they've done is far greater in intangible value. What about HN and the community it has nurtured? And let's not forget being a sort of pointer to true north to most of t

This chart reminded me when PG spoke about "Killing Hollywood", at the time it seemed a bit harsh, but when you look closely - Hollywood and the music industry is mainly a bunch of loan sharks "servicing" artists.

There're two possibilities, either it goes to Google or the video producer. I would hope - the latter.

This sounds like the most appropriate assertion in this case. I doubt Knuth suggested writing inefficient code, it's just that first comes the stuff you know (as you mentioned), then - if required - improvements.

Please explain, because I find that difficult to appropriate to projects worked on by a single person.

You know what, this article makes more sense on What Ive is doing at Apple than any other I've read. That's why Apple is unique in the industry, because while the other guys are thinking - skeumorphic or flat - Ive is dealing with Human Exp

Well it's definitely nice and easy. Also, perhaps the first real push for me to pick up this language (at the very least conceptually).

It's incredible to hear that since your work is really insightful (Codea reminds me of http://worrydream.com/#!/LearnableProgramming ) and is pointing in an interesting direction. At the same time I do get that you need to put bread on the

Oh, I had no idea about it, but it's great to hear that it's doing well. One would definitely hope for such a project to gain traction.

I feel as though a much more exciting thing you guys are doing is Codea - http://twolivesleft.com/Codea/ . It looks so cool and something a lot of people could relate to, given the major shift to tablets.

This is absolutely brilliant! One on one with the community, speaking from the heart to people that understand you, no marketing BS, just the good old truth. I enjoyed Monkey Island for that same reason. By this point, I think it is pretty

As someone not old enough to have seen this take place live, I did appreciate this presentation so much. Now one can only wonder when will our generation bare witness to us landing on Mars?

So what they did was add a Zynga scheme (not much besides a few colors changed) to the partypoker.com client. How is this something that will save the company? For how long have they been talking up their real-money gambling stuff with the

My first reaction to these kinds of news is fear. As someone who builds stuff for the web, I really hate the idea of some malicious being trying to purposefully ruin your work. My second reaction is that of "bring-it-on". Basically this is
