Very good example of why developers are dumb for writing mobile apps. It makes zero business sense with the exception of the very few who sell hundreds of thousands. Apple screws t…

Not really a lot of relevant experience. Would like to see some Hadoop or heck, even some C#. Let's talk again in a year or two.

Successful high tech CEO here. I don't know where all of this bad advice came from, but you should never, ever have an equal cofounder.

same here...

I'm in the course as well and don't really understand what the fuss about Octave is. The help system is abysmal and third-party library support seems far behind other popular platf…

this I see such bad financial advice coming from those who obviously have never made money (shouldn't be surprising, I guess). And then when someone comes along who has made a lot …

$630? Why is this on the front page? Why does anyone even care? This is not important.

And assuming they could (despite your arguments against) determine the method of monetization on a site I can assure you that that they cannot do this accurately. You would be amaz…

No...

Exactly, right? I mean, I read that and thought "I'd kill OP to be 20 again". 20... no job, no ambition, no problems.

I want you to put this in perspective. I read your previous post and you were working a shit job. I am a CEO of a tech company and I can assure you I know what you are talking abou…

I know you were looking for an answer from Matt but I thought I would offer up my opinion here (as you might have noticed, I love talking about this stuff). Our models currently su…

This really made me think. But I took exception to your comment: I agree but don't you think that from an algorithmic point of view Google would be better looking at what the user …

Matt, You are of course correct. The fault is mine for miscommunicating... I find myself becoming less self-editorial these days when I write on the web and tend to think everyone …

We do mean well, and for the most part when people say we're arrogant it's because we didn't hire them, or they're unhappy with our policies, or something along those lines. They'r…

This is a fair comment but I believe the issues stem more from the process Google follows. It is obvious that Google cannot communicate exact reasons why a site was penalized as th…

That's the ultimate check on Google: if we start to act too abusive or "evil" we know that people can desert us. So it's in our enlightened self-interest to try to act in our users…

Sadly, quite true. "True" - because my current understanding (which Matt_Cutts can elucidate on if he chooses to) is that Google has looked into - but does not currently incorporat…

I think %50 of the problem is the arbitrary picking of sites to block (and it's not working, btw[1]) and %50 of it is that google seems uninterested in explaining or advising peopl…

Hi Matt, We don't know each other but I think we know of each other. I'm rather immersed in webspam detection and found this incredibly interesting. You imply that the challenge is…

Google:Social::Microsoft:Search

True, I thought I mentioned the color thing, but I guess not. You definitely could not read a TRS-80 clearly on a TV. You could on an Apple, but who would? Most people - remember t…

I have to disagree. I used the Apple IIe and the TRS-80 extensively during this period. I coded games and other software in BASIC and assembly on both machines. I poured over the s…

Interesting service and a nice UI. I just gave it a shot. Interested to see how well it works!
