Just because all of Google pushes to prod thousands of times a day doesn't mean that the team within Youtube pushes to prod that often. They may have some sort of scheduled deploy cycle and likely a review process. During the holida

This is just a buying opportunity for the big boys like Exxon. They'll snatch up the companies that fail and bide their time. It's not a new strategy—the well-capitalized oil companies do this every time the industry stalls. The

If you end up more than a version behind in Rails and your project is sizable, you're in for a special version of hell. Especially if you develop on Mac OS X, the dependency issues with things like libxml2 are especially painful.

Isn't that what you would expect? Most cases fit within a predictable mold, on others they consult with the rest of their firm (or case law, journals—whatever else it is lawyers consult). Why would that be a bad thing?

A good friend of mine owns a small coffee company in San Antonio—probably one of the best roasters in the country. He loves Starbucks. Nobody would ever venture into the world of high-end specialty coffee is Starbucks didn't serve as

I don't dispute your inflation figures. But I do find fault with your conclusion. Where is the proof that the children and grandchildren of WWII vets are living these upper class lives of private schools and expensive universities?

Do you have any proof to back up your assertions? As the grandson of a WWII veteran, they ring awfully hollow to me. I assure you we did not live high off the inheritance of his mobile home when he passed on.

Enron took advantage of the situation to be sure but California's deregulation plan was truly laughable. Retail prices were capped forcing PG&E and Southern Edison to pay whatever rates Enron and Dynegy could force by manipulating

Founder equity isn't comparable to equity held by employees for the simple fact that employees have no control over the rules governing the equity. Cash in the bank, on the other hand, is quite straightforward.

Am I correct in understanding that all this startup does is personal loans? That's it? That's going to "change the face of an entire industry"? I'm quite certain the bankers at your local Wells Fargo/Citi&#x2F
