   I like that Twitter has no advertising to distract me. Gmail does.

   The first few sentences of each answer are disclaimers and add a lot of noise. Any way to push the disclaimers to the end of the answers?

   Part of what I like about Twitter is that it's not Google. I don't want all my communication to be managed by one company. If Google bought Twitter I'd leave it.

   "For me, the biggest money makers.....2008, 2009 were rebill offers" He stole money. If you don't know what rebill means look it up. Example of rebill: 10 years ago I bought a computer from Best Buy and got free internet from AOL for 6 mon

   I hope the US Commerce Dept is standing firm with Italy on this. If a man drinks Italian wine and crashes his car into mine, can I sue the Italian wine maker? No? Well then why can Italy sue Youtube for someone else's video when they are

    It's amazing what one super bright developer can do: DHH with Rails, Rich Hickey with Clojure and Salvatore antirez Sanfilippo with Redis.

    If one factor - large reserves - leads to economic problems than this guy is dead on. But it doesn't. Economic success or failure is due to many factors. He should have chose to argue with Jim Rogers, who has much more credibility, than Fr

    I don't think it's that crazy for home offices. It could serve as a way to communicate to others that you are working, and it could help you mentally separate work and recreation. They could also make it a tanning salon/office combo. Not

    Washington DC has similar reasons for a weak startup culture. Replace NY with DC and finance with government. As long as China keeps lending us big money, this game will keep rolling on.

    I'm still a Clojure newbie, but one thing I've discovered about programming as I study Clojure is that a lot of programming involves the processing lists. Take Web dev: you have a list of parameters that a user sends to the server, you perf

    Use Groovy/Grails if you must develop a Web app on the JVM or reuse existing Java code. J2EE was a disaster (I have 6+ years experience with it). So much wasted talent and time.

    Using your argument: Mcdonalds, Starbucks, Walmart, Coke and many other companies are O(N^2) solutions and therefore failures. They repackaged an existing idea, made slight modifications, and sold it for lots of money. I hate seeing wasted

    Thanks for sharing. I've been investing quite a bit of time into Clojure and to motivate me to go further I'd like to find some software (not code snippets) I can download and see the power Clojure provides (that other tools like Ruby or C

    I've been using Groovy and Grails to introduce dynamically typed, rapid development tech to a mostly Java only shop. In these scenarios Groovy really shines.

    What problem did you solve using it? I've been studying Clojure and it seems to be impressive. But I have yet to see some really impressive open source software that was written in it.

    I'm curious why you prefer functional languages that excel at concurrency for the GAE. As far as I know you can only write sequential apps on the Google AppEngine.

    Another idea: A jobs posting site with a focus on Clojure jobs. Training, with an emphasis on why Clojure matters and how it can help your org? I thought Clojure hit the tipping point this year. I'm surprised Rick Hickey is hurting for mon
