The security settings that allow you to even connect are 1) hard to find, 2) somewhat difficult to track down documentation for, and 3) not what everyone would call "reasonable". I like Postgres, but it needs to evolve a more admin-centric

Blogga, please. Just get up once an hour, walk around, maybe check out that big room with the blue ceiling that's sometimes black with white specks (the one the Others call "outside").

If all schools were private, we would have better schools at half the price? Sorry, but this guy needs to learn what "profit motive" means.

This flies in the face of huge, recent investments by mainstream VC firms in (profitable) game companies like Zynga and RockYou.

Andrew: you're not a hopester. But what you need to do: really push harder to get your guests to cough up their secrets. You do try. But too many of them end up getting away with answering key questions with vague answers. "Oh, well, we jus

Just because he's done a lot of interviews doesn't mean he has actually learned anything or become good at conducting them. I'd argue the opposite. He's become entrenched in methods that do nothing.

If the actual job involved solving random problems in an instant, then these tests would make sense. As they are, they're really just statements of power: I have a job, you want a job, so I can make you jump through this hoop. I am great! L

The unwitting arrogance displayed by this guy and many others charged with interviewing in today's climate is often astounding. Here, jump through this random hoop -- and you'd better be ready for this hoop, too! I'm sure it makes them feel

Not entirely sure why Postgres, MySQL are in a NoSQL guide -- maybe the title should be different? Interesting chart to look at, though. FWIW: yourtinnitus.com is down right now.

The founders of SixApart (TypePad, Vox, etc.) are married. She originally did the design, he wrote the code. They're still married.

Sorry, but I have a helluva lot more respect for Steve Jobs than I do for Jonathan. Steve has legit bragging rights. What can Jonathan brag about? Taking $12 million in severance from Sun while his employees got two months of pay at most?

But a restaurant of its caliber should have a good website, regardless.

In World War II, the first file-sharers nearly cost the Allies the war. Every time a Jimmy Dorsey record was "loaned" (pirated) out to a fellow soldiers, Hitler won another battle.

Makes perfect sense from a over-logical, geeky point of view. (Disclaimer: I am a geek.) What I've learned over my years is that our view of the world isn't necessarily most people's -- if it was, then this guy would be totally right. But h

Strangely enough, Netscape Corporation once marketed javascript as a lightweight server-side language. IIRC the browser-side javascript thing was an afterthought.

It's its own discipline, but it has to be melded with the job of graphic designer and browser coder to be effective.

It would be interesting to see a brainstormed list of the most underserved categories. I remember that one of PG's essays has a list of things he thinks could use some startup love, but I'd be really interested in what other people think,

I'm not sure Seth is going that far, although I can see how one might misinterpret his message. What he's trying to say is: you can do it (be an entrepreneur) if you really want to.

This idea has (roughly) occurred to me, too, and it's cool to see someone implement it. Its simplicity is well-done. Suggestion: make it even simpler. Don't require a login. Just let someone start connecting and designing, and then they'll

My favorite lines -- totally resonated with me: They simply got tired of working for others, had a great idea they wanted to commercialize, or woke up one day with an urgent desire to build wealth before they retired. So they took the big

What's going on in the country -- that of which I have some direct experience -- is far more than any one personal anecdote. Your experience, in fact, is anecdotal.

This is precisely my M.O., save for having an active project or a definite idea. :-)
