Which is why your usage of "immoral" is not ironic.

Your use of the word "ironic" is Alanis Morissettic.

Jobs... Housing... Discussion... Funny posts... Personals... Gigs... I don't know about that. Making profit may be a moral, but I wouldn't say im moral.

If you feel strongly about something, you have to strike while the iron is hot. You'll do better with enthusiasm but no experience than with experience but no enthusiasm. Most of t…

Which is why I don't get the whole "charisma" or "reality distortion field" claims. He's just this guy, you know?

Python does the same thing with range: >>> range(1,10) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] Leaving out the starting value starts at zero: >>> range(10) [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] Which…

If you actually manage to do the work, the only downside is some investors have a story about how single founders can't hack it. It's a prejudice. They've decided things already, a…

Just e-mail him. He actually reads and responds :)

CampusU has filed to go public on the Nasdaq where it plans to raise $28.8M. Doesn't this further argue that going public is beside the point? The point is making money, and when y…

In reference to: http://www.iunknown.com/2007/06/steve-yegge-por.html Steve Yen already did it years ago! Kind of. The code looks pretty brief.

Looks like it: http://www.google.com/corporate/history.html Larry and Sergey's Charlie Rose interview is a bit unclear, because Larry talks about getting that check from a "David S…

The initial $100,000 check he wrote to the Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page is an investment now worth more than $1.5 billion. So $100k for 1%? That's 40x the YC rate. Wh…
