It's exceptionally unclear why people executes their down votes. I consider it worth my while to point out: "No you're not crazy, this really is as pointless as you think." If it seemed like I care about getting down voted, I assure that'

I didn't explain why it was (demonstrably) summarily unhelpful because I assumed it was clear to anyone with a basis in logic, without even a nod to the fact that I happen to know how it works in practice beyond the theory. In case anyone h

No worries. I thought the Planet without Laughter was particularly entertaining. It's also amusing in its own way to watch my comments get voted down. I have, undoubtedly played more +EV games versus a casino than anyone on this site. (And

Hey, neat. Yet another comment where I am a demonstrable expert and I get voted to Hell like a moron. Feel free to get this one to -44, except that you can't tell any more where it lives. Best to down vote if you're unsure.

Like quanticle said, social networking. My problem is that is not a real thing which can be monopolized. I promise I'm not being (intentionally) obtuse here. I don't understand which piece of an online offering requires Facebook. Maybe

90% of startups fail, give or take. You're going to need either a much firmer definition of startup or a much more defined range to make this have even the slightest bit of credibility.

And to be perfectly clear. I will take all of your action, every day, in prediction of market movements.. You tell me what you want. I will set a price and we will play for as much money as you like [up to my assets of 20MM or so.] I hav

he cost of market data and a system equipped to process it are not inconsiderable. Not even close, if you consider the alpha for generating value. I know it's awesome on HN to think that generating 10M over 2 years entitles one to a "50M

Why would one even consider entering these markets without the ability to demonstrate alpha over historical results? Yes, your alpha needs to include the ability to beat transaction costs... so if you can't pay for the [relatively exception

Why, then, even bother checking their HN karma score, GitHub commits, WoW gear score or Stack Overflow reputation points? Either their comment is useful to you where you live today or its not. You don't have to justify your judgement by yet

It's all good. I've lived an odd life, but essentially every dollar I have made has come from someone thinking he is getting more value for his dollar than I am charging him for my software/service/whatever. Considering the businesses in

Of course. But I don't believe that every sale I have lost for what I believe to be non-rational reasons is inherently an emotional decision. Sometimes I just don't understand the motivations of my customers.
