Very neat. It would be even cooler if it had Pig's ILLUSTRATE. I suspect whichever REPL successfully completes an implementation of this: http://infolab.stanford.edu/~olston/publications/sigmod09.pd... will emerge as the leader.

Sorry, not sure how well this applies to Mexico but... I did the freelance/startup combination for about five years. Its ok once if you can pull it off, but I do not recommend repeating it. I have a lot of friends that do this, and on the

How many people did? Why so few? No market to speak of. They made things one level free-er, which is the best they could have done given the constraints of the market and the technology. There are issues. They aren't villains for having

I read the book about Ron they mention, Godfather of Silicon Valley. It is not a good book, but it is interesting in that it captures the fervor of the dot com era. The really funny thing is that the timing worked out so that the dot com b

Its funny how easily people forget this - Apple created the first MARKET for mobile apps. Thats openness. Before the iPhone the mobile game was one big scam, with someone reaching into your pocket at each and every step in a long chain.

Travel. Leave the country for a good long while. Go to India. Go to Russia. Go to Africa. Go to the middle east. Go to asia. Save $5K and live on $3 a day for a while. There's a long list of cheap countries where you can just hang o

If you actually look at what Steve Blank has written, it says that you need lots of funding to enter a new market. Paypal did just that. Therefore 'Lean' in this case means 'Tons of Money.' Its a theory that means more than its title. Ma

Date a MILF. Seriously, date an older woman who is mature enough to assess your situation and deal with it. Check out this analysis: http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/2010/02/16/the-case-for-an...

Its funny, because 'ramen profitable' is supposed to be 'survive for an extra few months' while raising another round of funding. Somehow people spin it into 'chase a shit opportunity for years with no sizable revenue.' Again, debating the

It would be great if we could actually debate this topic instead of debating different interpretations of the title. Lean doesn't mean cheap. It can mean more expensive. It simply means recognizing the cost of entering different markets a

It turns out that interface innovations for Mom also work for hackers - provided that you still have access to a *nix toolkit. Witness the popularity of the Macbook among developers. But then you wouldn't really want bash on an iPad, woul

Physics experiments in the 18th/19th century were hard to setup as well, given the capabilities of the time.

Each of those times you nearly died by accident. In combat you nearly die on purpose. Repeatedly. Can you will yourself into that fear as part of your job - regularly? Isn't it a bit different?

Piracetam for me is about as effective as Adderall. Which is to say that it is very effective. I took it a lot in college. Be careful taking it with coffee though, it potentiates stimulants.

Do you have links on this stuff? I get what you're saying, and want a deeper understanding of the types of manufacturing/costs of prototyping in the US/elsewhere?

Then you will have more energy to adapt to your new country. But if you fail to adapt, the cycle may still apply ;)

Not in Russia, where first/patronymic is a proper formal address. Just good manners. Very good manners under the circumstances. I think this anecdote was in his short story, 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich' if I'm not mistaken? A

If Apple can continuously innovate to a large degree, it can stay ahead. It seems to be doing just that. But yeah - the open vs. closed platform does seem exactly like the battle for the PC. Apple seems primed to lose the bulk of the mark

What you are suggesting is exactly what has happened: It is called the iPad, with books and periodicals in iTunes to boot. By his own admission, it is the first device to satisfy the ultimate vision of Alan Kay, the father of the modern pe
