Imagine if we lived in a world with an infinite amount of time. You could get all your projects done, and you could read all the things. What would you do with all that time? One thing you would do is talk to people. Having conversations is one of the most useful things you can […]
So here’s the problem. You’re not going to read all the things. You’re not going to read all the HN articles. You’re not even going to read all the interesting HN articles. You’re not even going to read every #1 HN article. There are too many articles. You have too many things in your […]
Apologies in advance for another rant about the state of the iPhone contractor market. I answered one too many e-mails today and I kind of snapped. So I have decided to leverage my soap box and take it out on you, dear reader. On any given day in every major city in America, roughly 10 […]
The trouble with science is, we tend to take results out of context–to be the magical universal truth instead of something that happened at a particular time under particular conditions. Audio compression Daniel Pogue from the NY Times writes: Yes, these songs are encoded at a higher bit rate (256 kbps instead of 128). But […]
Apple made a lot of announcements today, and it’s going to take a lot of time to digest all of it. I did want to comment on what some people perceive to be the large number of startups that Apple has “outdated” today. Marco takes the right approach of basically saying that the pie for […]
Sony’s been hacked again. People seem surprised by this. There are two things in play here. First, at any large company, aside from Apple (and that’s debatable), security is terrible.

The short version is that Comcast tried throttling and QoS, which mostly failed due to the whole Network Neutrality movement […]
I’ve been meaning to write a post about the many people complaining about Dropbox’s security for awhile. The complaint basically boils down to: “If they can access your computer, they can access your Dropbox account”, which can actually be shortened to just “If they can access your computer, bad things”, which is where the real […]
From Founders At Work: No, it was never clear that we were on to something huge. You never know anything. The hardest part in a startup is that you wake up one morning, and you feel great about the day, and you think, “We’re kicking ass.” And then you wake up the next morning, and […]
(Alternately Titled How to Find a Technical Cofounder) I’m an Austin-based iPhone Developer with a lot of experience. So I get about a couple people a day, 365 days a year, who inquire about my services. I’ve cataloged a few thousand inquiries at this point (99% don’t pan out, obviously). An awful lot of these […]
