Am I the only one feeling bad? Thanks you guys for building such an awesome community. The internet was different after reddit. For me it is very difficult to love a startup after the founders have left. Not very logical I know. I guess I w

Two good books I read recently: 1) Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos by Michio Kaku 2) The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand (I haven't read Atlas Shrugged yet. So cannot compare them.)
