Not sure if this particular investment can be called as a sign of a bubble. Social networks, locality, mobile, and things are still new and unknown. But there is a huge potential. There will be soon 2B people on the earth with constant (mob

Not necessary - by using this rule you might miss a lot of truly brilliant people (I know a couple of them: they just mumble about things and you understand what they were saying only after you see their design and code). This again tries

You are wrong. This is called "war on talents". OK. I'm not adding anything to discussion and my post should be down-voted, but I agree with comment that the main problem of finding a good engineer is salary offered.

It is probably just me and my overly pessimistic and cynical point of view, but sometimes I think this "war for talent" is basically synonym for "search for very good engineers willing to work 70 hours a week for less than 100K" (or somethi

We did some market research using Facebook ads and we were super satisfied. In this particular case, we were interested in a specific customer segment (what they like, location, status, etc.) and Facebook ads did a great job. Google ads and

I have to answer to this comment since this is the same argument governments had back in social and communist countries in Eastern Europe. It is not about whether majority of people approve government or think their government is a "brutal

I'm not sure but there is difference between: 1) an application server accepts client request but fails to execute it, so client gets an error via JSON and 2) something on server side (HTTP server or application server or firewall) fails to

We are not in bubble - this is refection of our monetary policy. Look at commodity prices. Look at stock market. I think the real bubble is bond market - which is causing froth all over the market.

Here is what I don't understand. They have multiple redundant copies in case of unlikely scenario of disaster, but they have no copies or protection in case of quite likely scenario of operator error. This seems backward to me. EDIT: I don'

I think Qwiki raised $8 million becasue they have excellent team (Louis Monier, Christian Le Cocq, etc.). However, I'm bothered with the fact that such a excellent team is working on something which is not really groundbreaking nor disrupt
