He's not arguing that the Smart gets better mileage than the Elantra. He's arguing that the size of the Elantra is unnecessary, and that the Smart's microcar size is better.

Erlang also has support for extremely late binding method dispatch. It's a bit tongue-in-cheek to call it a lightweight object-oriented programming language, though. I wouldn't use processes as objects in practice. My successful Erlang pr

Regarding your third point, the order book for the most popular Bitcoin exchange (Mt. Gox) is available [1]. Looking at the data, it seems there's actually quite a bit of liquidity bidding 7-10 USD and asking 10-13 USD per Bitcoin. It's onl

You really think you'll get effective monetization out of a Bitcoin miner that's written in JavaScript and only run on people's short one-minute visits to a website? Bitcoin mining is orders of magnitude more efficient on a GPU than on a CP

Sorry, but the act of hiring an employee at a startup is never a no-brainer. Good luck to Loren and to the people at AirBnB, though.

True, but we haven't yet witnessed the consequences of giving up so much of our private information to Facebook (including but not limited to our Web browsing patterns, unique identity, and social graph). When access to our private inform

What is the reasoning behind not performing de-duplication of common files? It seems incredibly stupid to copy a popular song hundreds of thousands of times when a "single" canonical copy would do. Multiple people can stream music from a si

It'd be tough to argue that Java is better than C# (the programming language). The benefits of Java come not from the programming language, but from the ecosystem, the JVM, the libraries, and the platform.
