How a typical person thinks: "Lots of people are already doing that. I give up. They've taken all the money there is and ever will be for this product/service!" How a typical business person thinks: "If I can take 1% of each of my 5 compe

One gripe about the Burritos there - try to find a place that serves something other than 'mission' style burritos, because quite honestly they all taste the same to me after they're loaded down with 2 pounds of the exact same ingredients..

A California subtlety often missed by those who didn't grow up here (and many that did) is the fact that Silicon Valley started out a lot like the other 'the valley' that grew up with the aerospace / defense industry, the San Fernando Valle

Does it work in the other direction, or can you only take away time velocity to give to space velocity? i.e., can you make your time slow down by coming to a full and complete "stop" in space, since I assume nothing in the universe is truly

Sure, what you said is all true. And guess what? The only cure for it is to move further along the line of industrialization. Guess how you get there. It's always hilarious to see rich white people talking about how the poor asian people

Yeah, that's my point - it's uncorrelated.

My takeaway from watching is that he's incredibly self-absorbed and a total douchebag. I had to stop watching it halfway through because the people in it are just so absurd.

The worst part about lightboxes is that when you click the back button like you've been doing for the past 15 years, you get really pissed off.

MySpace was written in crap-tastic Coldfusion on Windows servers that would constantly crash. For years it had a single point of failure in the Cisco switch that demarcated its network border. They got their initial user base by spamming

The older I get the more transparent sites like techcrunch become. Shitty personal opinions are apparently worth a lot of money if you have the right audience.

You're a founder in the startup sense - just because you started a service business doesn't make it any less of a business. You have customers, employees, revenues, profits, losses, capital equipment purchases, travel expenses, etc. You p

College costs a lot for the same reason that houses do: you can either be rich and buy in cash, or leverage up and amortize a huge payment into relatively small monthly payments, making it seem affordable. Once purchasers start leveraging t

Straw man argument about the lazy people who sleep all day. Your smug sarcasm and attitude is also not appreciated. You sound like a child. Facebook employs less than 3000 people. Apple less than 50k. The underemployment rate in the US

I haven't used AutoCAD since R13 and I was still a teenager working in an engineering office, but it was one of the best GUI/CLI hybrids I've ever used. You could learn with the GUI, and it would parrot the CLI commands in the command wind

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I try to be one most of the time. It doesn't always work, because I am not a sociopath and I follow the law, but I'm sure there are others out there that don't have these hangups.

Right, in theory. But in reality, in any organization of sufficient size, you have a lot of people who don't actually do anything creative clamoring to capture that excess value generated by the people at the bottom (and at the top!). Th

Just because you can't touch or appreciate their work I can definitely appreciate the work, as I'm a business owner. I know this kind of objectivity is a bit strange, but I have both employees and clients, so I see both sides of the ta

The excess value you create but do not claim is not returned to the universe for fair distribution - rather, it is captured by ruthless jackasses that didn't do the hard work work but aren't hampered by meaningless guilt over things they ar
