My vision for these boards is not to display graphics, but to send/receive data from the internet and a local network. I'm not going to use a Pi to watch movies or some other resou…

This reminded me of Tim OReilly trying to explain how sed works back in the 1980's. In his case it was a monk/scribe instead of an imp. Nice work. Is the sedation COW?

I meant plain HTTP without another layer of complexity on top. REST to me is someone's PhD thesis, the man who designed HTTP. When I read it, I interpreted it as an argument for th…

But wouldn't IQ, education, etc. be factors in whether someone would even make it into the YC class? If investors are not concerned with these factors, should they be relevant in t…

How many investors do you think were reading every amendment to the S-1 up to May 9? Not even considering how many did not read the S-1 to begin with. The use of the Greenshoe tact…

People should read your comment a few times to let it sink in. But, iRobot, why should we care about efficiencies? Energy grows on trees. I predict we are going to see many, many m…

I'm loving this sequence of events just for opportunity to see the cognitive dissonance of some HN commenters in action. The FB IPO strategy was to wait for the peak (or "plateau",…

I thought "and their "lung cancer"" was the best part. The fact that some on HN cannot detect the sense of humor is a little scary.

People here are bearish on FB because they 1. have a conscience and 2. understand the company's business (the simple technology). People here are bullish on FB because they either …
