dear··on Airbnb, My $1B Lesson
It's not the idea. It's the execution.

The world is more than just about idea, luck, and connections.

Just by looking at the websites of airbnb and frbo will tell you a ton.

dear··on Isolated people in Sweden only stopped using runes 100 years ago
Someone should invent a programming language with Runes. It would be cool.

dear··on China’s Market Rout Is a Double Threat

dear··on China’s Market Rout Is a Double Threat
"China is to become a superpower, it cannot play by it's own rules."

A superpower by definition is it plays by its own rule.

dear··on Stripe Is the New PayPal
Elaborate please?
dear··on How Estonia became a leader in technology
"In many cases, the companies that received government money were being run by people with no experience in the field. We wrote about an incubator for gaming startups, where none of the people running the incubator had ever worked in the gaming industry! Then there was the incubator that received nearly 700,000 euros from the government to set up in a small town of 20,000 people to promote creative arts startups, which as far as we can tell was just a few women making dresses and jewelry."
dear··on Why It Pays to Be a Jerk
When taking credits, use "I". It's called leadership.

When admitting mistake, use "we". Teamwork you know.

dear··on Apple iPhone Will Fail in a Late, Defensive Move (2007)

dear··on Ask HN: What do you call someone who has 20 apps released but can't code?
Entrepreneur. ;)
dear··on HN blocked in China
Interesting site. I entered google.com and it was all OKs. I thought google was blocked in China.
dear··on What If Your Autonomous Car Keeps Routing You Past Krispy Kreme?
That's too idealistic. The reduction of accidents caused by human errors could very well be offset by a substantial increase in machine/OS/SW/HW caused accidents.
dear··on What If Your Autonomous Car Keeps Routing You Past Krispy Kreme?
I hope it's Google.
dear··on The delusion of Social Networks
It depends on your industry and target market. There is no one size fit all.

Great info! Thanks! Are you a solo? Are you able to make enough to pay your own?
dear··on Firefox 26 is released
Thanks! I have used about:memory and 'CC', 'GC', etc, but they didn't help. I will see if this is a problem with the new version. At least older versions (25 or before) all had the similar issue.
dear··on Firefox 26 is released
In my case, everytime I open a new tab, the mem usage goes up. But when I close a tab, it does not necessarily go down, or just goes down a little. So the overall trend is it goes up, until it can no longer function (freezed up on my old 4G computer). Then I have to kill and restart it.

I use OSX's Activity Monitor to see the mem usage.

dear··on Ask HN: Why are hackers today so insecure?
That is because all these threats are trying to kill creativity.
dear··on Firefox 26 is released
Upgrading to v26 now. Will see if it helps at all.
dear··on Firefox 26 is released
No addon. It's new install on a fresh new machine.
dear··on Firefox 26 is released
Anyone with memory problem with Firefox? My FF is currently using 2G memory while I only have 13 tabs opened and most of them are just plain simple pages. I am sure it will keep sucking up memory until I do restart. This problem is not new. Is there a memory leak problem with FF?
