Would it be fair to say that the biggest challenge with the buy button is the lack of last mile fulfillment (like shipping, returns etc) from Google/FB/Pinterest. Amazon on the other does a job at this
Could you elaborate?
zenefits, zenpayroll, slack were basically word of mouth
The killer part of this redesign is the in-context, in-line information cards which makes shifting through the netflix's catalog a breeze.
Developers have a tendency to get overly excited about speed. Fast database, fast search, fast framework, etc. The truth of the matter is that speed should be evaluated within a spectrum. As long as your application latency is within a spectrum, you should be just fine
The salaries of private company employees are being listed here
Wow, immigrants have no privacy in this country. Imagine, if US citizen salaries were made public like this. How would that make you feel?
how are algolia and swiftype different?
Are there any plans to abstract out the datastore or make it pluggable. For example, we can replace cassandra with rethink-db or leveldb

can't believe no body talks about ss (socket statistics) - http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-investigate-sockets-netw.... It crazy fast compared to netstat
I really like antirez approach to building system software. Build it step-by-step, iterate and very soon you have an amazing piece of software
With vim, I usually use 'vim -u NONE <file-name>' which skips the startup file and makes loading zippy
In the beginning, VC investment is always potential. Realizing that potential takes time. So, I don't think it makes sense jump to conclusions too soon
less +F is not such a good alternative to "tail -f" or better "tail -F" especially when you are filtering the output of tail using grep or awk.
This is great. I really like the design and screenshot ability. Even though Meerkat seemed like the first mover in this space, looks like they might be beaten by periscope with a better execution

Do partners from google ventures have a board seat in Uber. If so, isn't this a conflict, as Google is privy to all the internal strategy at Uber
It is sad that silicon valley has been so slow to adopt google fiber
Maybe the valley understand that the MBAs don't add any really value compared to programmers who can really build. As a result, recent MBA graduate can no longer command high salaries and are now looking for greener pastures
My favorite thing about unix is its philosophy of writing programs that "do one thing and do it well"
Is this a joke?
