Very true...I recently took a hacker position at an early stage startup. We're working out of a converted warehouse in Cambridge Ma....Can't tell you how much of a difference an open, natural environment makes.

I understand the point that PG is making here. But I think DHH might argue that it's possible to create a business that doesn't require an unreasonable amount of work and attention. The work could even be enjoyable and interesting long term

That maybe true, but you would have to make something better than all the currently available free ones. The best platforms seem to be worked on by the smartest people that were just trying to solve their own problems, and then give the sol

This is great but with the RIAA suing 12 year olds and all, I'm pretty sure they'll shut you down for allowing me to listen to the beatles and metallica for free. Awesome app though. It looks like a great starting point.

I was thinking the same thing. On a side note, I think I understand why John works for Mozilla now. I used to think "Damn, John is such a great hacker. Why isn't he just starting startups". But working at Mozilla gives you a chance to reall

As a JavaScript fanatic, I'm happy to see people's opinion of the language starting to change. JS is a really powerful and interesting language; I would even call it beautiful. Long gone are the days where VB.NET & ColdFusion drones wer

I haven't seen anything in Powerset that would augment Microsoft's search enough to make a significant impact on their "battle" with Google, never mind beating them. Powerset only works on wikipedia, it's a cool application of NLP...but sca

I'm using it now and it's pretty darn awesome. Is it fair to call it a "distributed reddit" ?
