Before you upload it all to Github etc, for folks recommending that...

Keep in mind that there may be passwords / keys in the spaghetti etc...

iykyk...

Most of us call him Nassim, cheers. It is interesting data to see him called Nicholas here.

How would that help?

Yes, except more like 'in addition to' than instead... unbelievable... #lockin

I highly recommend YC use 60 frames per second (fps) for these videos for a better 'real' feel

You definitely want to scale UI to readable. Also need to consider how to take advantage of the extra screen real estate, e.g. code editor in right half of screen, browser for research on the left, console in bottom left for random command line stuff, etc...

Rather interesting to note the use of "my" rather than "our" and "I" rather than "We" in the article: "Multiply this by all my managers and I was on my way to burning up all my cash and destroying my culture."

Read John Sarno's work, also David Schechter's.

Hilariously weak logic... reading has higher information rate than listening. Written content can be parsed rapidly to focus on interesting chapters and sections of books. Main use case for listening to podcasts (incl vs. scanning podcast written transcripts) is in the case of listening while doing another activity (e.g. driving a car).

agreed

Would you consider USD also subject to a Keynesian Beauty Contest?

Bitcoin is stable in reference to itself, just as USD is stable in reference to itself.

thanks

Really disappointed that the CEO's response has been censored / dead'd here. Not a great moment for HN.

Certainly there is 0% chance that the author is asking us to read between the lines here... #FaceValue

It's not a binary decision of college or "no-college"... It's a matter of considering the "space" of portfolios of other experiences you could assemble for potentially greater value (including non-financial value) at lower expense.

Interesting to see this post drop off of HN front page from #2 to #70+ very quickly despite 80 comments and 40 points at the time... #curious

Is this Reddit's Digg 4.0 moment?

Plenty of independence. Panama, for example, does not have an independent currency, has significant 'independence', and has one of the fastest-growing economies in Latin America (and beyond).

I made the move from salaried to on-site contracting to startup co-founding, and am now doing remote contracting and/or part-time cofounding (heard that term yesterday :).

I got into contracting by applying for a contract in the SF Bay Area from Florida, did a phone interview,received an offer -- to contract at Hewlett-Packard. I believe I found the contract on dice.com, which also helped me find other contracts. I already had experience building software for my parents' company, and had built some of my own sites, including CGI stuff that I had to pay $125/month for a shared account for, back in those days! I didn't realize what my market rate should be on the first contract. I then got recruited away by a startup to help build the first online yellow pages site. HP asked to make a counter-offer but I (foolishly) didn't let them. After some time at the startup (which later turned down an acquisition offer from pre-IPO Yahoo, doh!, and finally basically shut down), I returned to contracting, this time to Schwab. Then I did some freelance, and then returned to help the same group at HP for a short-time. Then contracting at Bank of America. Then a short contract for a web dev shop, and then got into angel investing (Napster), and co-founding startups (social networking pioneer Ryze).

Now several startups later, I've returned to a combination of remote contracting and/or part-time co-founder (heard this term yesterday :). Some companies I've helped on a cash basis (hourly/weekly rate). In many cases, it is combination of cash plus equity. I'm just wrapping up a contract where I built out the server and dev-ops infrastructure and code for a new startup, as well as helping w/ analytics, product, etc. (and where I continue to be a senior adviser).

My experience has been that the on-site contracting market in the SF Bay Area is quite efficient and dynamic, and networking is not necessarily needed. Although I did a lot of networking in the early days, which has been great in opening up opportunities over the medium/long-term, the networking was not a factor in getting leads for on-site contracting. However, it led to some resume bullet points that may have been helpful in landing some of those contracts (e.g. landing the BofA contract was helped by my experience coding some of the first Java applet ads for Symantec back in the day that was a freelance project that came from networking).

and PandoDaily turned off comments and hid the existing comments... interesting, pandodaily...

They may be selecting for companies and teams that are more analytical, than looking for a 'psychologically better' deal.

Wow, I disagree with almost everything in the article. I finished up my Ph.D. Math at age 20 in slightly more than 3 years. It was a challenge and it did take focus to finish it, but by no means was it soul-destroying. And with the fellowship (on top of the tuition coverage) I received, I felt rich... Yes, you can end up with (choose) an advisor that is not a good match for you (or for getting finished in a reasonable time), but still... It's so much easier than doing a startup, for instance...
