p90x | 15 years ago | on: The JRR Tolkien Estate Can Go Fuck Itself

"Maybe you could start up a thread or write something that addresses your perceptions so it can be discussed"

i thought about it, but i decided that there isn't any point. the site is what the users want it to be and i'm not here to "educate" them.

great analogy, btw.

I will make 3 statements:

1) hacker news has become www.reddit.com/r/nerdstuff

2) “Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage.” Niccolo Machiavelli

A lot of energy is being put into user driven content, which seems to start of useful but end up becoming crap. There must be an opportunity in there somewhere.

3) someone reply to my post with "this." so i can move on from this site, and find something useful to do.

how do you know what the market demands? you know through sales. The market liked a big iPhone 3, so it is reasonable to predict that they will like a big iPhone 4.

Feature list:

- front facing camera - "retinal" display - iPhone 4 style designing

p90x | 15 years ago | on: Can Montreal Become an Open Source Startup Hub?

i don't understand the purpose of the article, or of your post. if the city has what it takes it will happen. if it doesn't it won't. everything else is conversation. that is how i look at it, what am i missing?

p90x | 15 years ago | on: Can Montreal Become an Open Source Startup Hub?

I didn't find any use in the article. Apparently, the useful information will be coming next week:

"Next week, I’ll give what I think is a potential plan for Montreal to take the lead in Open Source commercialization."

I hope he isn't going to ask for government money.

Does this need to be said? Is there anyone suggesting that there is a tech bubble like there was in 2000?

I mean that literally. Is there a single person on the face of the earth voicing that opinion? Because I haven't heard it.

The tech bubble in 2000 was more than overvalued companies, over hyped stories, and big promises. What I see now is the same thing that happens every day in other financial sectors.

p90x | 15 years ago | on: Verizon Plans to Throttle Its Heaviest Data Users

"may reduce your data throughput speeds periodically for the remainder of your then current and immediately following billing cycle to ensure high quality network performance for other users at locations and times of peak demand."

"Verizon says it will only do this if you fall in the top 5% of the company's data users"

To me this sounds fair to users and good for business. I'm part of the 95% and would prefer to do business with a company that puts my needs ahead of the 5% heaviest users.
