Demographics are also important. Reddit has a much more tech savvy crowd than a site like twitter. I think some of the article's estimates could still hold true for reddit, but it wouldn't be a linear scale. To reach 100B pageviews would re

From the site: >Preprocessing phase in O(M) space and time complexity. Searching phase average O(N) time complexity and O(N*M) worst case complexity. I don't trust the analysis of someone referring to "average O(N) time"; Big O notation

The main issue for me would be trusting the female approving the shirt. I suppose you could have a collection of people, each with a portfolio, but it's a bit of a catch 22: I have to pick a woman whose taste I like, but I am only using the

Looks great! One quick note would be that the logo is linking to babyli.st/index when it could really just link to babyli.st. That way I don't have to click the Back button twice. :)

This looks really interesting to me. I'm curious to see the rules-- does it differ much from the AAAI poker competition [1]? [1] http://www.computerpokercompetition.org/

I think the same article could be written about lots of top ten schools, particularly the larger ones. Take UCSD for example: top 10 CS program, great city for young people, decent amount of angels/VCs floating around La Jolla, huge city (L

This is really great. Where have all these companies been? I've been in DC for almost 3 months now and I was preparing to move to SV because the startup community seemed non-existent and I hate working in a void. If I can find a startup tha

Great! Love it! Found one small bug: when you view a user's profile, your own profile name at the top becomes a link to the viewed user's profile rather than your own.

Very nice article, would have saved me time last year when I was looking into the same things. One question though: why file a C-corp instead of an S-corp?

Call them webs. Seriously. "Create your web." It has just enough confusion power to get people talking about your site, like "tweets" did for Twitter. Network is too technical sounding. Everyone uses "the web" so they're familiar with the t

I think you shouldn't over-think the question. If you already know C# but are new to Ruby/Django/PHP, it's probably better to go with ASP.NET. I personally go with ASP.NET for the intellisense and refactoring support of Visual Studio. The m

If "consistently good" is what you want, then why not use something similar to a Sharpe ratio? For example, average / stdev.

It can't help that your page title on google is "PacPacs | Signups Closed". I have a relative who's a physical therapist. I sent her the link and asked for feedback. Where can I forward her response?

The only thing I don't agree with is "Aim too high." I can't imagine surviving at a top-ten school without having a focused research vision from the start. I'm not saying you should walk in hoping to prove P != NP, but who wants to dedicate

There were some great investments out there in March of last year. P/E ratios were in the single digits, some companies had fallen by massive amounts but were still solvent. Then the rally came. Ford went from less than $2 a share to more t

I really like the idea. I have a very similar idea on my to-do stack, but with one major difference: the characters would be controlled with neural networks. Then the game becomes about not just drawing your character, but also designing sp

Why not meet half way? Everybody can't code, but everyone can make mockups. Use a tool like mockingbird (gomockingbird.com) and literally sketch out every single page/screen. When you make the mockups, you should be sure to know where every

Point taken on NIPS. I agree its focus has shifted in recent years. Venues like GECCO/WCCI/CEC tend to be better if you're looking for nature-inspired algorithms. The theoretical foundation debate is ancient and probably not worth getting i

For me, it comes down to not being taken advantage of and being sure that we are truly contributing equally (or proportional to our equity). As a business person, if you tell a hacker that you are going to do the "business side" while they

For what it's worth, as Daniel Gilbert notes in "Stumbling on Happiness", people's minds tend to rationalize their actions and warp the past based on more recent events. If you were to marry and have kids, you would likely argue the same po
