They only target companies that are really good at wading through bureaucracy and who target themselves almost exclusively at government.

It's a useful place to get news, but also to get insight from folks who do what I do and it's invaluable in a world filled with noise and static.

Nil, really. It's just related to my "day" job really and using that + the web as a surrogate. It's much too big a place and too decentralize to really work for me like I think it would for me on the east coast (Where I'm from) But it's jus

FB needed to cover themselves, but the outcry was much ado about nothing. But meanwhile, the whiners will think they won.

tumblr doesn't even allow comments. So this isn't all that surprising.

Being the guy who spent 4 years in Wyoming doing a startup before moving to Chicago last year, I'd say yes. Not so much about the location, as much as it's about the support system you have in place and accessibility of people who you can h

He's mentioned before that he's blabbed too much, back when he was trying to sell DropSend. So maybe that's just his thing, that he doesn't know when to hush it.

I've thought about quitting my real job and doing this. I won't now, because it's more useful to me in terms of leveraging to open the door to other opportunities. But if you're already a hacker anyway and you have a team or things you're w

This is a really interesting idea. Seems to me to be worth it, having worked with that population (albeit with juvenile offenders for a few months) I can say that all these people need is someone to give them a blueprint to change their liv

It's difficult everywhere for different reasons. If you're in a city, the 'quality' folks aren't generally using it and you'll waste a lot of time, money and silly dates to get anywhere. Especially now. Six years ago, you could make great f

He pushed it too hard and didn't realize that by the time it gained traction, the term would be out of vogue. I mean, at least when Pat Riley trademarked three-peat, that could happen again. There won't be another Web 2.0 after this iceberg

Read it a few hours ago and really enjoyed it. The recognition of all of these teams that there are ways to build a team beyond the conventional is smart thinking, even if doesn't always result in titles out of the box..

I like it to some degree, but I think they're missing the point. Their traditional audience would have a very hard time reading the newspaper like power web users do. I think that you have to have a way to distinguish the "headline" news fr

Agreed. This is the sort of stuff that Twitter is great for and I suspect that someone smart will find a way to use it as the vehicle for citizen news reporting. But it's niche, like a lot of folks are saying and even then, the kinks would

Yours is cleaner and that mixin thing made me dizzy just looking at it and after going to Sponty first, I was taken aback by how mixin looked so complicated, had so much text and wanted to inundate me with words and junk. Doesn't matter if

Newspaper people are dinosaurs. Working in a newsroom like is like stepping into a time warp and they just don't understand the evolution of technology. So they're too busy applying the 'old' way of doing things to something that's radicall

Knowing code has made it a lot easier to hire people to work for my company, as they don't care that I don't know code as well as they do, they just care that I understand their world enough not to place unreasonable demands on them.

I think it's just a post he's using to drive traffic and mock people for his own entertainment. I think any serious idea posted in the comments would probably get deleted.

It's tempting to a degree, but I think most folks are reluctant to themselves out there in such a public way, especially to be scrutinized by others, for no payoff. So as usual, it's a stunt of his. But when you're that rich, I guess you ca
