(Hi - I'm an engineer at Slack -- reposting from our chief product officer Rob Seaman): "This was a mistake. We're fixing it. We appreciate you, Hack Club, along with all of you th…

Worth following the development of cockroachdb https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach The long term goals of that project seem to align.

Interesting when read right after this from another z16z partner: http://bhorowitz.com/2013/10/08/cash-flow-and-destiny/

The folks behind this project know Django really well - I've recommended this to people a number of times.

That's true; there are lots of different paths people can take into PM, and you'll find all types. Like engineers, there is such a thing as a 10x product manager. I hope everyone a…

+1 on this one. The best product managers I've ever met were former engineers who were good developers, but wanted something broader. That background (and a true love of technology…

Inflation since 1999 should easily tip you over the $1B mark :-)

It's even worse than that: http://newsroom.cisco.com/dlls/2005/corp_011205.html Airespace wireless for $450MM.

Same here - I'll never recommend them, and have actively discouraged people from using or investigating them. They may be great technically, but I always mention their spotty/incon…

I think both of these links illustrate that errors happen, mistakes happen, software has bugs, and murphy's law always strikes. The question is, when it strikes, do you have enough…

This is fantastic news. I worked at IronPort prior to the Cisco acquisition, and Scott was a very effective CEO. IronPort was a significantly under-reported success story in the Va…

Slow is being charitable. It's molasses. This is what the docs say: About emulator performance Because the Android emulator must simulate the ARM instruction set architecture on yo…

I actually think there's quite a bit of potential for the Kinect, but it's really hampered by one giant bug: It's an xbox. The whole experience still screams "I'm a hardcore game d…

build software that people want to use instead of software that managers want to buy It seems that people have learned this lesson. Marketing folks even have a term for it: The Con…

I thought this was Saul Griffith's startup, but I see no mention of him on the about page. At his Long Now talk last year, I recall him talking about Makani as being his new effort…

Yea, and I doubt that the footers lawyers append to every email mean much in terms of disclosure, but that doesn't stop law firms from trying it anyway. I think read receipts fall …

Excluding the graphics company, it sounds like they're trying to build out an application suite that makes it easy to keep firing up new vmware nodes as you grow. My guess is what …
