lazylazylazy··on Ask HN: Is $1.86 billion in revenue enough to keep Facebook viable?
Speculation on the future. They have more data on you than anyone has had, ever. And, they are attracting the smartest people on earth. With those two things combined, they are going to be able to do a lot more than display Ads based on your listed interests and relationship status.

Think: modeling a marketing scheme against FB's data because they understand the idiosyncratic specifics of the demographic you are trying to hit, thus telling you with p<.01 whether or not it will be profitable.

That, and government contracts are profitable.

lazylazylazy··on Anyone else really, really lazy?
I guess that's basically my plan; I am saving like 40% of my bring-home pay every month. My plan is to travel with it until I am broke. But I am in a lease until the end of May; and have only recently gotten in the black after dealing with debt and outstanding legal issues (~4k in cash). I estimate I will have ~10k at the end of May for that purpose. (no family or significant ohter)
