I live in Columbus too. Its a huge start-up city. Some label it as the next Silicon Valley because of Battelle, Ohio State, and the SIGNIFICANTLY lower cost of living.

Eric--for the above-average engineer (lets call him a 3X-5X), but not a 10X or 100X engineer--what advice would you give if they were interested in beginning a tech venture? How much does personal will play a factor compared to personal ability? Do they stand a chance to compete? Can you think of founders that have achieved great success despite lacking supreme talent? And, finally, to expand a little-- can you think of a character trait that is MOST important for a founder to possess other than great intelligence / clever execution?

I realize now it wasn't posted by Sam--merely his blog.

I think it's pompous for both you and Sam Altman to be wasting our threads with these bets.

Can someone who is informed on this shed some light on its shortcomings? I know this is new, but the article on the bill is a bit too supportive that it feels highly biased. I can't help but feel that the line about collection on foreign enemies for WMD's is some sort of loophole. I agree with bkurtz--its surprising how few people care about Snowden's revelations.
kmeves | 11 years ago | on: Basic income: the water room analogy
i think the "poorly written terrible analogy" has been upvoted to rank #3 (as i see it now) because it points out a paradoxical logic. The key point of the article is when he points out that the rich wouldn't care to keep their $1000. When the reader first sees the tagline, they are intrigued because it makes no sense to give bill gates $1000. Through the analogy, one can see though, why it does. I think the purpose of the analogy is exactly that point--and not one to try and match the real-world dilemma. Also... to the comment about going to law-school and no shortage of good housing-- you are not understanding what "poor" truly means.

"houston we have a problem" .... most misquoted line. it is "houston we've had a problem"
