    Maybe you are right, but what are we blaming silicon valley for? Being wrong on a venture investment? I don't really understand any of this. A well funded company was unsuccessful …

    ah, gotcha, I guess my point above was that titles are abitrary as fuck. For example: Patrick Collison dropped out of MIT to be the founder and lead developer of 2 technology compa…

    I understand where you're coming from but is there a qualification for "scientist". Is Mark Zuckerberg or Patrick Collison considered computer scientists? Is Richard Branson consid…

    Finally. It's refreshing to see US try to drive a stake between the corporate interests and a big monolithic government. This is a country that is spying on economic allies all ove…

    While Rand isn't the most likeable of charachters and her argument is often persented as anti-povery, on a high level contributing to society through your work is an amazing privel…

    Twitter is undervalued, Jack Doresey can't run two stagnating companies in parrallel. Cut jobs, merge the companies (because Square's IPO isn't going to be successful and combine c…

    Super cool thanks. Still can't figure out why I can't connect to HN, but no tracking beacons which is nice.
