Sam is a leader. Let there be no doubt. Does he have foibles? I’m sure. I do. Everybody has people out there who will proffer criticism of them, especially those at the top of the pyramid. Our summer at YC was heavily influenced by him; he

I always thought of the iPod as THE inflection point for Apple. Not the 1998 iMac, not the iPhone, even though it was the latter that made Apple the company it is today. But I think the iPod put Apple on a track to get to the iPhone-it&#x27

So is the extension hitting the Google Matrix API (excuse naming errors if I make them), or is it scraping results from sites such as Kayak asynchronously? Or is it something else entirely?

Just terrible. There are thousands of similar, less sensational stories generated by the U.S. health system every month. All parties in the system are to blame, as all parties have twisted incentives—profit—when it comes to providing and pa

Agree. I am on a 2013 15" MB Pro that has been my horse for a long time. I hated that last generation of keyboards, which held me back. Then the promise of the M1 chip has delayed me once again. I've never really champed at the bi

Put in some time and get out. It will help your resume, but not your soul. I have been working with a FAANG recently, one that builds EVERYTHING in house. Almost comical. There are great engineers all over the place, but no cohesive strateg

A-ha! Another consequential web outcome decided in Urbana-Champaign. As an engineer and a writer, I have monitored this debate for some time. Editors of mine have usually lobbied for two spaces, while engineers I’ve worked with say, simply

I don't know if they're all rich. Ralph Lauren certainly is. But I tend to agree. There simply aren't that many ranchers. But there are millions of Coloradans—and visitors to Colorado, outdoor/nature tourism being a much

Appreciate your input. As somebody with a house near a Colorado National Forest, I can corroborate that it is over-choked with fuel and a fire catastrophe waiting to happen. Not burning for decades will do that. As for the wolves, I think y

Being 'against' Tesla isn't being against the environment and innovation. The vector of personal transportation is pointed in the right direction here with or without Tesla. They have moved things forward, no doubt. But Tesla

Even if these were all full-fledged businesses/ventures/operations -- most of them don't answer what is, to me, the real question of the day: in what applications are the benefits of blockchain an actual imperative to the use

Good to see that the Economist is totally on top of the trends sweeping through commerce in 2014.

Bombastic headline, but no meat here. Y Combinator is a fantastic place for founders/startups, especially for those that work hard at leveraging the available mentorship during that fleeting three months. The article's comparison

Firing people is hard. It can affect morale and send all kind of messages that the founder may not want to send. I'm guessing this will happen at some point, but as a founder who has been faced with this exact kind of situation, I can

Interesting piece, thanks for sharing. I'm constantly plucking at deeper questions around this topic. High-level creative genius seems to fall off for many people in their fourth decade (their 30s), at least for musicians and many math

I have seen analytics data for dozens of big sites and I have never seen numbers to even remotely support 33% to Bing. I have little doubt that MSFT is basing this on some form of data, but I'm guessing there is a twist or caveat in he
