I know a very successful entrepreneur who has been married 4 times now maybe he's just a prick?

if you play your cards right, you could end up being married for fifty years on the other hand, you will likely be "done" with playing mr. web startup guy within ten. you're not go…

wow how come the bubble hasn't burst yet on key-value dbs? first: unless you run google, yahoo, ebay, amazon, or another top-100 site, chances are you can stretch mysql/memcache mo…

explain to me why a news site nearly completely bankrupt is wasting time and energy on hadoop apis??? hadoop is very cool, and yes the nytimes has lots of data, but a company on de…

Can we discuss health care without the science fiction and doomsday scenarios? only if you travel back to 1981 before these costs started their long-term snowball

NO ONE WANTS A FREE MARKET SOLUTION FOR HEALTHCARE. get over it. a free market solution means dying baby gets turned away when parent has no money. otherwise it is not a market sol…

oh fuck off. there is always some pedantic prick who has nothing intelligent to say but chimes in with "citations????". you get tonight's dipshit award

some points: - healthcare is not a business. get over it. the law says you cannot decline emergency care. there is no business model here, any more than there is in running the nav…

it doesn't matter. employees only become rich if the stock goes crazy. lots of profitable companies have craptastic stocks.

haha the amusing thing is that he himself likely only looked up the newton-raphson method ten minutes before phoning you. sadly that is the case for many of these mensa-test mental…
