What I found pretty disturbing is that this type of reinvesting (keeping everything in startups, reinvesting 100%), is very similar to the patterns seen in Ponzi schemes. (The basic idea is that if everyone reinvests everything, then bubble

Can you fix the format of your question? It's hard to read..

Hi David, Nice post by the way. The results are really suggestive but what leaves me wondering is that there is a million of things that can be going on at the same time. Also, why did you ended up doing ILRS/LAD instead of more straightfor

I'm not so convinced: 1) "didn't hurt anyone": Sokol learned about Lubrizol while on his duties at Berkshire. After all, that's what Berkshire pays him for, to research interesting investment opportunities. By buying before Berkshire, he fr

You are right. I linked only to the _wishlist_ which is something not usually kept up-to-date. In the other page, there seems to be slightly more current information: http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/extensio...

Kinda old, but interesting. The three reasons for hg > git were quite reasonable. As a side note, the transition is now complete: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2011-March/10873...

I had trouble with that on the windows version, and also had to explain to a few people how to see the links I've sent to them (smart people btw)

I just bought the book as per your review (I'm not a programmer). Let's see what happens!

I agree with you about the corporations part. That said, check this: http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=1258 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:U.S._Federal_Spending_-_FY... Medic* and SS amount for almost half of the US bu

Any advice on what changed through time? More focused attempts, better grasp of the demand, or just more productive programming?

Check the article again. It's not about layout preserved when printing, it's about actual spaces being deleted in the editor and then kept deleted when you save the file.

It reminds me of Stata, which is has a fairly better syntax than SAS. (Eg: the weird SAS code gets replaced by something as simple as tabulate x y)

So in that sense, this is a smart way to prevent their competition from using the platform, without ringing so many antitrust alarms. (If Apple just said "we banish Netflix and Kindle because we say so", it would probably lead to a few anti

Same boat. I was going to buy a new ipad for my parents but I can't see myself doing that now. However, the problem is that there is no real alternative to it..

by zzleeper 16y ago
I don't think they "shot themselves in the foot" in terms of profit. If they actually have a dominant position in the market (kinda true for ipads), then Amazon and the others will accept Apple's terms. That means that EVERYONE ELSE will su

Would you prefer reading the articles in paper or in the ipad? (I'm considering switching from paper to ipad) Thanks!

A quick question: What is "crawl-delay ftl". I googled but couldn't find much, besides that this particular robots.txt dates from April 2007 (~4 years ago) and the first mention of it was in 2008

I couldn't find the QED that this article supposedly contained. Also, don't you think it's hard to speculate on things like food? I mean, you can't store it as long as metals/oil, so the whole "speculators are to blame" story seems naive to

I think there is a DEEP flaw in this argument: "Here’s another one. This time, it’s a misspelling of “bombilate,” a rare word I cited above. I searched for “bombilete,” instead.." In essence, they say that Google only pointed to the typo, b

But it's the perfect way to circumvent robots.txt! With enough users the law of large numbers applies (and how many hundreds of millions of users are using IE?) so you can a.s. copy Google's index. In particular, you copy the most popular r

I can think of an even better algorithm: 1) When a user enters google.com/search? , scrap the page (pay special attention to their spell corrector) 2) Send all the data back to MSFT 3) Profit nicely! It's simpler, and probably works as wel

Maybe they are. How can we know? Maybe they just scrap every google page, as a way to circumvent robots.txt. (5 years ago no one would have given msft the benefit of the doubt, b/c we've all seen their track record, funny how they are now p
