Anybody remember Kohoutek? Exactly. If I were a comet, my strategy would be to underpromise and overdeliver. That's the best way to rally a comet's soothsayer base.

It's Newtonian. People have no appreciation for how far you have come (position) or how fast you are going (speed), but they are extremely sensitive to acceleration. VCs especially so.

I am calling bullshit. Amazing Fact (TM): I've been throwing right-handed for my whole life. Make me throw lefty and I throw like a girl. Something to do with an urgent need to get base runners out. Another Amazing Fact (TM): If you play ca

Yeah, you can have a target market of $100 billion and not even crack 0.25.

I think I am at 0.25 on this scale.

The OP gives great advice. But I was amused by the Dorsey quote referring to "...founders - who may not have been there at inception." Let's take some highly desirable attributes in an employee and give them a label "Rockstar". Er, no. "F

I have been using Haskell seriously for about two years now and humorously for a bit longer. For some reason I bought the old sales pitch some time ago. Now that I have a clue about the language I would like to rewrite the sales pitch for a

As a corollary to this, keep your eyes on relative prices, incentives and human nature. Dull be highly effective. What technology does is send some the prices of some actions from infinity to nearly zero. Meanwhile humans remain pretty much

Politics is theater. At least under our current setup and probably most others. Ever notice how little policy is actually discussed even when a supposed policy wonk (e.g. Clinton, Ryan) are giving the speech?

Why can't the TSA make me a suit? They already have the measurements. I'm barely half joking here. Seems like this is one of those unsolved "solved problems".

Reminds me of my kid's $6000 bump on the head. Or the time I had and knee operation and they took five minutes extra to clean out something they spotted and added $3500 to the bill. Or the eye operation where they took fifteen minutes extra

Not much content in this blog piece. Couple of isolated quotes from a Forbes article from a with no tl;dr on offer. Instead of "Capitalism is...beautiful" ideology it would be worth focussing on when it works and when it doesn't. Seems that

A little story about the jury system. Years ago I was a juror on a murder trial in NYC. The judge was strict beyond belief with the attorneys. He seemed tougher than any hanging judge in a movie, though not unfair. The verdict was reached q

If you make me grade my relationships with people (friend/defriend/link/put in circle etc.) you are making me work. You must reward me for that. On all these social networks my reward for that exercise is actually some negative feelings, ne

Nice article by NYTimes. Too bad about the linkbait headline, but, hey, they have to sell clicks too. At Hacker Dojo, we're working hard to raise the money so everyone can just get back to writing code, safely egressing etc.

This is not confined to food. In my house probably 40% of cheap imports end up in the trash in a year or two. During WWII, fully half the U.S. economy was devoted to the war effort. Nobody starved, they just drove on bald tires and stayed i

Someday through historical echo transcription (YC14 perhaps), the real transcript will emerge... Me: Hi Steve, remember how I asked all the managers to me with their direct reports 1-on-1 at least once every six months. Steve: No, when w

"Embrace and extend." -- Bill Gates These days that would correspond to forking the spec. So unlike an open source programming, it is not nice to fork the spec. Or is it?

Beg to differ. Whenever I walk through airport security, I have Osama to thank for the millimeter wave inspection. And for the pain of raising money from non-accredited investors I have hundreds of historical and would-be scammers to thank.

I took it as more of a nod to the old emacs joke (probably told by a vim user): “Emacs is a great operating system; too bad it doesn’t have a decent editor”

The title is linkbait if not trollish. However the article is just a technical discussion about the best way to implement exceptions in pure functional code. He prefers the way it is done in ML.

Really great. I wonder if there are other algos that are being overlooked because we are looking at them with the wrong cost model in mind.

Math is particularly tough on the ego. I remember one of my advisors said: "I try to decide if something is true. I work extremely hard to do so. Then when I am done, it seems clear that it was true all along, and the only problem was that
