http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Moritz Michael Arrington's prowess has not yet been actually assessed. I'd say I know a few journos who aren't that bad, but a lot of tech press who are horrible.

One of my favorite displays of how little the tech press gets it is this stark contrast. (I think Garry Tan is the one who pointed to me it originally but I don't have that reference right now.) PandoDaily in 2013: "While I don’t

I was talking with someone who's applying for YC just recently and thought how the questions I was hitting with (many almost verbatim from this list) are essentially a checklist for gut checking most companies. YC interviews seem like

I last played it probably about 5-7 years ago (along with the primes and zero missions, was on a metroid bender). Re-reading it as an adult with little spare time, it was like playing the game but in a fraction of the time. Thank you, poste

So what if I want to dynamically create content? Limited to using this as a sort of cdn edge?

Anyone who looks at this style show and wants to do it, please let me know. We're looking for beta testers for a new product that makes these style of shows much simpler.

They already have network effects. I wouldn't underestimate those. Also startups are rarely zero sum, so for Dropbox to be successful™ it doesn't have to absolutely murder the competition, just be significant enough that the compe

Because, headline / clicks! :) The thing I'm frankly most worried about is interest rates, which will be the thing to reset the current angel situation. If interest rates rise, it's likely some of the more levered investors w

This is how startups are unfortunately supposed to feel. The fact it's spreading without you having to do much is a good sign. Just keep going as much as you can and don't worry too much. Easier said than done, but you're on

:( Bugs me that this is a story in 2014/15. You guys are awesome and shouldn't have to deal with this nonsense.

:( I used to work at Weblogs, Inc. and had done work for all three of these pubs. The worst part for me is that the original vision of Weblogs, Inc. is dead. The vision was to have dozens of niche blogs covering topics people cared about. S

+1 to this. As someone who had both scholarships and pell grants (i made money going to a state school in utah) I still would have just preferred discounted tuition for all.

Lots of people are going to hate on this, but clearly it's a tinkerer trying to do something fun. Yes: JavaScript isn't necessarily the best tool for the job, but so what? Fun hack. I'm not sure it's the future, but mayb

Please. The zone transfer thing is what's been the most burdensome. We'd love to have a github repo that we could create a post commit hook to tell a bot to update the syncing.

Is there anything preventing you from using non-native elements right now? I mean the <html:html> weirdness aside... can't modern browsers just recognize current <weird><tags> and process them as such? Why not just ha

This is the actual concern. If you require an email check before someone messes around with the product, there's a potential dropoff that people can (rightly) be concerned about.

Can someone tl;dr me the gist of everyone's beef with joyent? I've been hearing about a fork but haven't understood / seen why people feel like the fork is necessary.

Wouldn't that sit behind the app server? (Equally mistaken potential. :)

Yeah but getting assets to said cdn is annoyingish without having app server origin, I'd argue.

How would one use this on Heroku? It doesn't support static file transfers allegedly... and per Heroku they require your app server to serve them by default. https://github.com/heroku/rails_12factor#rails-4-serve-s

Sony and Sega both released analog stick-ish controllers before Nintendo, fwiw. They might have spurred it though by showing it off really early. Which is also probably why the "revolution" aka Wii's control scheme took so lo

A simple analog for first time founders is standard docs (series AA & SAFE) vs non standard docs. As an aside, I think it's really hard to get clean terms when you're outside silicon valley... I had a friend raise money in Uta
