My tax haven is RothIRA.
yueq··on Putting the I back in IDE
this is a HCI problem. I dont think text is better than IDE or web-based code review or branch management. I'm a vim user and i have to say making everything in one terminal looks cool but really not that intuitive..
yueq··on The Dropbox Comp
it is a dying business in all means. The brand name might worth something though.

Amazon's Dynamo.

Twitter's Cassandra.

Device is $999.

But cost of training personnels is probably thousands more than that..

yueq··on Jeff Bezos Passes Bill Gates to Become the World’s Richest Person
This kind of 'news' is garbage because it doesn't consider market depth... Bezos can't liquidate all his shares at that peak price.
yueq··on WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton to leave company
I guess Jam Koum has been autoselling his vested stocks for a while since I often see his name on FB's insider activity list.
yueq··on Jawbone is being liquidated as its CEO launches a related health startup
Smart hardware belongs to big players only. A hardware company needs to deal with, Design, Engineering, Marketing, Production, Sales, Customer services, etc... If any of those step is messed up, the product is over. This is why I don't recommend anyone to get involved in this kind of business.

Why does it even need the rails when the cards have autopilot built-in???
yueq··on Dropbox Secures $600M Credit Line Ahead of Expected IPO
I think it means the opposite. If a public offering is head, why do they even need line of credit?
yueq··on A new home for Google Open Source
Website is beautiful. But actually not useful. It's better for programmers just browsing on GitHub.
yueq··on Buck – A build system developed and used by Facebook
How come this tool became no.1 trending on HN?

Expedia's market cap is at 19B today. 31B is much more valuable than it.
yueq··on Beepi Winding Down After Burning Through $150M
Beepi's business model is not scalable at all. I would be very surprised if any experienced investor has a dime in it.

How many of those are counted in DAU/MAUs if this is their only action of a day?
yueq··on Snap commits $2B over 5 years for Google Cloud infrastructure
Facebook is not a good example here. Back to early 2000s there was no Cloud infra so they started from inhouse. Snap is a different story since they not only use GCloud but also have Google engineers support and oncall for them. Snap focuses on the Product and Growth that creates much more value.
