Yeah I was kind of wondering... What would RTM think? (Considering he's rarely if ever wrong. :) ) Anyway, I liked this article a lot too (one of the few to make the connection to him)...

At first I was disappointed about this too. And then I remembered that Andreeseen also had his talk not televised at Intuit a year back (even though it was broadcast live -- just no recording). And then I remembered: those guys ball so hard

All I know is Kathy Sierra's book on Java was pretty much my first intro into programming (SCJP Sun Certified Programmer for Java 5 Study Guide). I've gone on to become a software engineer for 7-8 years now. But I still swear by that seemin

The thing about intellectual honesty is that when you don't feel like you know much relative to your peers and context (e.g., you're a freshman at Harvard), you don't think you have much to lose. You don't realize what you have to lose unti

Usually I dismiss posts like this. And I have to admit -- I browsed the frontpage several times without clicking on it. But I think this is very cogent, and one I had totally forgotten about in the whole FB media circus. But this is a rare

I agree. It's huge press for them and a pivotal change for their image. Pretty sure you mean this millenium though.

Things not getting better in a world whose population is increasing drastically (from ≈ 2 billion in 1930 to almost 7 billion currently) is a problem. The real test though, in this system, is what Instagram or any successful startup does ne

I totally agree with this essay, esp. in regard to ideas that are 'new' and are still being dynamically formulated. There is an opportunity cost associated with different 'top ideas' or perhaps in this case 'top attitudes' in one's mind. If

I think the problem with larger companies is that they have something to lose. So fundamentally, almost at a physics level, they become less flexible. They have more momentum in a given direction. The problem with larger technology compan

I know Paul has caveated advice before in a Startup School talk ('advice = over-generalizations + limited life experience...', I think..). But this seems like such useful advice at all timelines (in work and personal life): I keep looking

I disagree with this. Human Rights should be as specific as possible (but no less specific). There is real risk in making them too general. The Bill of Rights is a good example of what works (freedom of the press, right to bear arms, etc.).

I agree the title and wording in the article is not very specific. However, I think it's mostly just the general point that Stallman makes about free software (the 'prediction' is just that this is important). At the risk of hypothesizing h

You're right. I spoke too quickly. Thanks. I studied ancient Greek too for several years. I hadn't heard of this 'General Supposition' as a way to describe conditional clauses. Apparently -- just looked it up some -- it was an older way of

Curious to hear about the 'General Supposition' (in the Greek question for sophomores). Seems like it's really only found in New Testament Greek. Makes the test rather biased towards a particular religion. But perhaps that started to change

I moderately disagree with Gladwell's conclusions, and fear he is trying to 'tweak' his own theories about 'tweakers' to fit Jobs. Jobs had faults and long-term insights. He liked what was beautiful. And he was really good at tweaking (and

I liked the post a lot. I was sympathetic to it because I've met mikael and he's a really cool developer -- on the level of very few others. Y'all can criticize a blogpost for not being concise. And that makes sense. But just thought I'd vo
