thank you for writing my comment for me. it is worth noting that the US dollar bubble (which is the generalized case since the death of treasury notes implies the death of the doll…

because you could never assess the viability of that many startups. people would end up coming up to you with made-up business plans just to soak you for 100k. frankly you would be…

blame "web 2.0". the VC firms swallowed it lock stock and barrel. where's the "beef" in ning, facebook, scribd, yelp, or slide? and these are the ones that have viable products! le…

we are not entering into a "depression", we are witnessing the end of the US and more importantly the death of the US dollar and perhaps all fiat currencies. simply losing the US a…

you've missed the point of the gold standard entirely. people don't advocate gold because they like shiny things. people advocate gold because it is a generally accepted numismatic…

for the last time, delicious does not run on erlang. erlang was used to in part of the migration of data

name one yahoo property that bought completely new hardware for a new version rollout

haha thats the way it was done at yahoo. go ask HRC now, they'll probably tell you that you are being migrated to a VM-based platform. i'm not speaking derisively, its long time ya…

i believe not only will this be worse than the depression for the US, it will indeed do in the US entirely. a nation's most important piece of paper is not its constitution (you ca…

$200/barrel is indeed wrong, its a lowball number. i expect $500 or more. where do you think all those trillions the Fed is printing up now will end up? what happened the last time…

china will be as doomed as the rest. what do they hold? US debt. its toilet paper. their economy is coupled to US consumption. they are developing a domestic market but to do so wi…

I keep saying it - things are fine. Real value has not been wiped out actually $50 trillion in paper wealth was wiped out in the last twelve months alone. The fundamentals of the e…

not surprising that python is competitive...afaik haskell also crushes erlang in lightweight threading benchmarks (supposedly the core strength of erlang).

well if you are in emacs you could just start up erc...

is this a web frontend to bitlbee? looks very similar in functionlity.

are you trying to tell me aff somehow predated yahoo? i'll file this story under "bs" and you should too

more like "why i want to be a pseudo-intellectual". the author seems obsessed with name and meme dropping with the intent of dazzling us with the contents of his browser bookmarks,…

whats the surprise? in good markets, excess risk makes you rich. in bad markets. it kills you. the able manager knows when to realign the portfolio

interesting but not in the way you intend. once people watch a "sure thing" like aff flounder from its first trading day, it will indeed be a bullet-proof confirmation that this is…

does levchin really have the midas touch? are slide and yelp ever going to be viable? yelp missed the boat, they should have sold out in 2006 when the hype over "local" was peaking…

totally the opposite! i can't think of one region that has benefited more from the Fed's policy of moving us to a bubble-based economy. the economic model of silicon valley in the …

everyone will be cutting back...why? firstly, the climate permits it. i assume now that any company holds a latent 10% rif in good times, just waiting for a bad market so it can lo…
