am i the only one who feels that the book is just going to be another iteration of the usual mantra and thus not really worth the $12 or the time? the last couple "summary" posts seem to indicate that this is indeed the case.

The cutoff is not so silly. Take the Nobel Prize in Physics, for instance. The award usually makes some already-famous professor more famous. It has no further impact on their career. I believe the cutoff is to make it more likely that

Heh. Ironic that thought experiments first led to the idea that the speed of light is a constant and can't be exceeded. Thought experiments are not proof, just useful and potentially enlightening.

We've been doing that in parallel to our startup for the last year or so. I don't know of any books on the subject, though. Any particular topic you'd like to discuss?

I also don't know anything about this, but ... I'd guess that even if you can't solve the problem exactly you could find a tractable probabilistic solution that works x% of the time and traders spend their time finding such solutions. The r

Violet Hour would be cool, except that we're trying to keep it close to the loop so that it is easiest for everyone to get there. Check the thread later, I don't think the monday time is settled yet.

+1 on the meetup. We should pick the venue in the loop (or not too far from it) to make it easiest for everyone to attend. I do love the hopleaf, however... Count me in either way.

Keeping short ToDo lists for every project (not necessarily software) that I do which contain only the next 5-8 things to do next. Writing down a little note along with the todo to help me restore state next time i work on the project.

Court records are, in general, public. Not 'public'. Just go to the library. However, PACER costs money and so do the favored online vendors (westlaw and lexis-nexis). Even if they aren't public. They should be. This stuff can be used as la

That's about right: that's the main argument and not all that well supported. I don't think I'll rewrite the article, but here is a bit more support. I hope I don't need to argue that 37s is a brand. They do sell basecamp and books. Forget

No. The only times when both quantum+special relativity (quantum field theory) and general relativity are both "in effect" are immediately after the big bang. IIRC the time-scale is something like 10^(-20s) after the big bang. It is only of

I've used a .ly domain for the past 6 months or so with no issue. The service is a bit sketchy: not very good instructions and less than user friendly control panel. You also have to provide your own dns servers. After you jump through tho

Yeah, home is pretty good. However, you can't meet random people at home -- granted you may not want to. For me, the ideal working space has the right amount of "human noise" and enough opportunity for social distraction for when I need a

It seems easy enough to agree that running a startup cheaply is good. However, seldom are people quantitative about what is cheap. Any chance we can get some numbers? What's a cheap burn-rate for a startup with 3 founders? 3 founders + 3 e
