I stand corrected. Thanks.

The article I saw copied and pasted everywhere was a blogpost from someone who went through the bootcamp process (whether this person made it through or not, I'm not sure). And act…

Nothing conspiratorial in the fact that the networks (correctly) assess that the American viewing public would rather watch Mad Men or Game of Thrones than The Snowden Files, any n…

There already is one: http://github.com/

Why of course -- a certain percent get "counseled out of the organization", according to widespread reports. That's part of the reason why they call it "bootcamp."

And that's what's so terrifying about Glass. That one day, suddenly, it will just be... the new normal .

Soulless and robotic, to be sure. And eerily so. But what else should we expect from the owners of a news portal that was, from the outset, itself nothing other than soulless and r…

Wow. Talk about showing one's true colors.

Yep, pretty creepy. But thanks for the tip!

Howabout "geekspeak?" Much catchier.

Am curious as to what the "public beaches" thing is in reference to (being as the links don't seem to be working in the original article): Some of the blows have been self-inflicte…

Well it's still a "crime", technically, but for companies at Google/HSBC/BP-scale the consequences are more like those for a misdemeanor -- i.e. you might pay a trivial fine, and m…

The large companies obviously know how to avoid accountability by eliminating, or never creating paper trails. Unfortunately it doesn't seem that it was a lack of a paper trail tha…

Oh, and since when does selling BTC anywhere, including Silk Road, constitute a crime? Shrem, at least, wasn't charged with "selling BTC" but for violating this thing known as the …

Agreed -- thumbnails are next to useless, distracting to look at + "thin out" the result set (by forcing vertical spacing), and presumably slow things down quite considerably, all …

Given his god-like status in the VC community -- and of the company he founded, which until recently has boasted of its "continuing relationship" with Mr. Perkins -- it's more than…

"Tom Perkins has not been involved in KPCB in years." Really now? Apparently he's still listed as a Partner Emeritus: http://www.kpcb.com/partner/tom-perkins To quote from KPCB's o…

It's far worse than a "bad metaphor." It's holocaust trivialization, basically.

I think we're well overdue for a surveillance DrStrangelove. It wouldn't work. No film depiction could possibly be as absurd as what has already been foisted onto our everyday live…

Don't know about startups... but definitely seems true for romantic relationships (by and large).

I'm always surprised people yell about the U.S. not wanting to help those in poverty. I think that's pretty well refuted by noting that the U.S. is #1 in charitable giving . Pah. T…
