Not true. I worked at one! However, it's fair to say there are no VCs in St. Louis that focus on consumer-facing technology companies. That said, St. Louis isn't impossible. Strangeloop STL is one of the hands-down, bar none, best confer

It's a reference to a famous essay by Nate Silver (you may know him from FiveThirtyEight at the NYTimes) and Dayn Perry: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=betweenthenu... In short, the A's roster was actually constructed to

Billy Beane's shit doesn't work in the playoffs, the book/movie ignored the Big Three, and information advantages go away. The startup corollaries: small-bore inefficiencies can't overcome luck and strong competition, don't attribute succes

Of course the questions are going to be pre-screened. It'll be a representative sample of the issues that will generally determine the election for the undecided and independent voter. If you're a big NORML supporter and want him to talk a

You know how you keep talking about underserved markets? The customers look like that. Perhaps the large set of engineering talent going to build yet another TODO list app are saving themselves the heartburn.

Surprised you haven't found someone for this on Fiverr (which you tipped me to). I've gotten book jacket designs done for $5 - and they're good.

Anyone know if this will be available in Newstand on iOS5? The "Store" link on my GM seed doesn't work yet.

I'm glad to see this here, but if you're going to submit your own stuff - even if you're a big shot writer for The Motherfucking Atlantic - I think it's not too much to ask that you engage with us in the comments. Dan Frommer, Fred Wilson,

How and why is a blog post I would like to read.

There's a ton on his blog that gives you a sense for it. David actually can code - he's self taught, with his formal training coming as a designer - so he's a magical unicorn who can write. (That is to say, right up your alley.)

This is another one of the ways in which Apple is very much like Nintendo. (Others include very strong leadership; doing things their own way, standards be damned; and cultivating the brand above all else.) The inside of the N64, in particu

Our downgrades aren't about our ability to pay - it's about our willingness to pay. That has gone out the window. As S&P says, the Republican Party is now so rabidly anti-tax that their new baseline assumes the indefinite extension

Well, we could start charging the banks for carrying excess capital. I know, I know, everyone will start screaming about crappy balance sheets and all, but they're just sitting on boatloads of cash.

It would improve faster if your bosses would engage in QE3 and started to inflate the economy. [Edit: that's an attack on the Board of Governors, certainly not you.]

I'm an intern on the Mid-Market Product Marketing team. I reached out to Matthew to see if I can give him any help/advice now that he's already got the referral in.

Closest off the top of my head: Odeo > Obvious > Twitter. As in this case, investors who didn't want to continue were offered the opportunity to get their money back.

Dan's edited my occasional contributions to TBI for years. He's easily the best responder to breaking news in the tech world; he writes well, he writes fast, and he remembers the past. There's a reason he has site-wide sponsorship from th

It's obvious in retrospect, but YC saw that Sam and Andres were animals[1]. (IIRC, Sam and Andres were the founders and brought on Harish just a bit after/during YC.) Octopart just would. not. die. Personally, I think the current fad of piv

The best part about this, under Obama's ethics rules, she's not allowed to lobby the FCC on any matters, nor can she lobby any executive branch member about the Comcast/NBC merger until President Obama leaves office[1]. So she's being hire
