Anybody remember Kohoutek? Exactly. If I were a comet, my strategy would be to underpromise and overdeliver. That's the best way to rally a comet's soothsayer base.

It's Newtonian. People have no appreciation for how far you have come (position) or how fast you are going (speed), but they are extremely sensitive to acceleration. VCs especially…

I am calling bullshit. Amazing Fact (TM): I've been throwing right-handed for my whole life. Make me throw lefty and I throw like a girl. Something to do with an urgent need to get…

Yeah, you can have a target market of $100 billion and not even crack 0.25.

I think I am at 0.25 on this scale.

The OP gives great advice. But I was amused by the Dorsey quote referring to "...founders - who may not have been there at inception." Let's take some highly desirable attributes i…

I have been using Haskell seriously for about two years now and humorously for a bit longer. For some reason I bought the old sales pitch some time ago. Now that I have a clue abou…

Not much content in this blog piece. Couple of isolated quotes from a Forbes article from a with no tl;dr on offer. Instead of "Capitalism is...beautiful" ideology it would be wort…

A little story about the jury system. Years ago I was a juror on a murder trial in NYC. The judge was strict beyond belief with the attorneys. He seemed tougher than any hanging ju…

If you make me grade my relationships with people (friend/defriend/link/put in circle etc.) you are making me work. You must reward me for that. On all these social networks my rew…

Nice article by NYTimes. Too bad about the linkbait headline, but, hey, they have to sell clicks too. At Hacker Dojo, we're working hard to raise the money so everyone can just get…

This is not confined to food. In my house probably 40% of cheap imports end up in the trash in a year or two. During WWII, fully half the U.S. economy was devoted to the war effort…

Someday through historical echo transcription (YC14 perhaps), the real transcript will emerge... Me: Hi Steve, remember how I asked all the managers to me with their direct reports…

"Embrace and extend." -- Bill Gates These days that would correspond to forking the spec. So unlike an open source programming, it is not nice to fork the spec. Or is it?
