Wow. I was in chexsystems for seven years. My fraud was that two automated payments to PG&E and Speakeasy bounced. Why did they bounce? A woman in a volvo ran a red-light while I was commuting to my stupid dot-com job, causing me to spend a month in the hospital, half of that in and out of a coma. I had no friends or family nearby to visit me, let alone to tend to my finances while I was incapacitated. I'm an engineer, I don't mind the $5k/year vig I had to pay to the loan-sharks (because banks won't turn large checks into cash if you don't have an account with them, even though they are valid checks written off of accounts with them). I don't mind having to go to the ghetto to visit these loan-sharks. I don't mind that I couldn't get a car-loan, a mortgage, student loans, a credit card, or a lease without a co-signer. I still survived, I just went through an incredible amount of stress and inconvenience. I still don't mind, life is suffering. I accept that.

What I do mind is the needless suffering my very poor aunt has to endure because of this extortion aimed at the poor. She nets about $14k/year, without health-insurance, from serving lattes to entitled engineers like myself. Of that $14k has to spend $700/year to the same loan-sharks. Her "fraud" was assuming that debit card purchases would be reflected instantly when she carefully checked her account before paying her utility bill two years ago.

She made a mistake that frankly she wasn't educated enough to anticipate was even possible. Now she's suffering needlessly for it.

For a person in the real world, you know the one who serves you your half-fat breve latte with a twist, foam and room, the system has refused to do business with her in order to extort enough money from her to ensure that she can't climb up any ladder.

Yeah, fraud.
Exactly. The way I would put it is that this CEO is flunking out in his job.

If any executive (CTO or whoever) is not getting things done, CEO's job is to replace them as fast as possible. If the CEO is failing to do that, this means he needs to be replaced.

Ben Horowitz has an excellent post explaining the CEO job: http://bhorowitz.com/2010/05/30/how-andreessen-horowitz-eval...

At the end of the day any company needs real leadership. The one described in the article lacks it.

You're right that Hoover ran a deficit. There's a common misconception that he was all for austerity when he in fact increased spending with a variety of stimulus programs.

However, his stimulus programs were tiny compared to the size of the hole. FDR's programs got progressively bigger over time, until he blinked in 1937, but were still quite small compared to what was required. When WWII came along is when things got serious.

Here's a nice table:

That's the basic Keynesian view as I understand it. I find it credible, but the fact is that I don't actually know that much about economics. One thing that I am quite sure of, however, is that nearly no one else talking does either. Or if they do then they usually have got several axes to grind and are selective in their data, disingenuous in their arguments, or too emotional to be trusted.

Wow, I'm getting pretty cynical about the whole thing.

As a long-suffering webOS fan (Pre- through to Pre3 & Touchpad), all I have to say to this news is, yay! WebOS is a fantastic system that does not deserve to linger and die due to HP's lack of leadership and vision.

Jeff Bezzos, on the other hand, is a true visionary in my opinion and I would be happy to see my webOS HP Profile become an Amazon profile sometime soon.

My only doubt though: will they make phones?
GitHub actually has a lot of systems with a lot of features, and a lot of competition. Not everyone uses all of their major systems other than repos (teams, issues, wikis, sites, GitHub:FI) but many do. If GitHub only worked on their core product, many valuable customers would leave for competitors.

Amazon has shown that they're open to pivots and trying new things before. I wouldn't be surprised if they made two different lines of Kindles, with different OS's. They are trying to achieve market dominance with the Amazon App Store—with WebOS they could truly achieve market dominance since they'd be the main source of apps.

I have no issue with whatever it is you posited after your masturbatory experience. It's just that I don't find your epiphany particularly deep, nor do I see how LSD was even necessary for you to arrive at your destination of nowhere.

You know what actually makes a difference in life? Acquire knowledge, apply that knowledge, make connections and use all of that to HELP other people and change the world. Tripping on shrooms by yourself or with your fellow dunderheads does nothing for anyone, yourself included. Stop pretending it does.
I'm a bit confused. The architecture is just abstracted away. Why does a programmer care if it's optical or DNA or whatever? See, for a less extreme example, the tools that people use to develop for a single x86 vs CUDA vs massive clusters vs huge FPGA clusters vs ARM vs etc etc. I honestly think that revolutionary architecture will just lead to some new libraries and dev tools which get kludged onto existing dev systems. But I welcome more information because I know I could be horribly wrong.
> I hope that whomever HP sells Palm off to will bring back the brand.

I think the Palm brand is "too far gone" in the public mindset to be worth bringing back. The Amazon brand is a far stronger, far more popular brand and its important that they don't dilute that right as they launch the Fire.

Acquiring Palm, to me, would be so they can acquire patents, some developers and designers, and some tech. WebOS, nice as it is, has missed the train. Amazon would be insane to backflip now (even I wish they'd used WebOS to begin with).
Those are all sunk costs (they can't go back in time and change them) - so they are likely evaluating the deal with the long-term future in mind.
Looks like his argument is something along the lines of "I ended up having to kill her because the state wasn't taking notice of my many complaints against her. Therefore it's the state's fault and it's not fair that they should be put in a position of judgement over me for having taken action precipitated by their negligence"

Kinda crazy. :/

Look at it this way: their are about 1 million Touchpad users already out their due to the HP firesale. That's a nice market to buy, considering these people will want to upgrade to something in 12-18 months time, while keeping their profiles and all of the webOS software they bought (the app market in webOS land is thriving by the way since the massive influx of new users). I think whatever software work they would have to do to make this happen would be worth it to them.

Also remember they would be free of Google and Android, and all of the legal battles happening in that space right now. webOS is so far removed from any of the other platforms out there that there is no danger of being sued by someone for copying them.

Amazon has probably 10 times that many Kindle users or more already, and if HP sells Palm at a 90% discount that's still $120 per TouchPad user who may or may not ever upgrade to an Amazon Kindle. That would be a stupid way to acquire users.

Also, if you think WebOS is somehow immune to the plague of lawsuits in this industry you're crazy. Nobody is safe from lawsuits. It's just a cost of doing business these days; you pay your success tax and you move on.
Seconded, thanks for sharing Mark. A number of friends have gone through life altering trips such as you describe, there appear to be positive things that can be gleaned from psychedelics about oneself.

That said I had one friend who didn't come back and ended up in an institution for a period of months. He had a number of underlying issues that the drug brought to the fore. It was a horrible experience for all involved.

I took shrooms when I was 18. After an initial phase of a lot of hardly controllable laughter, I experienced the strongest fear that I ever had in my life. Basically, the fear to remain stuck on this trip - nothing unusual by the way, as I figured out later by reading reports from other people. The main fear for me was to be stuck in this situation where your brain isn't filtering anything anymore. I was literally sitting around UNABLE to do anything. I mean, somehow I knew how to do a more complicated thing (like building another joint), but somehow I was incapable of performing the necessary steps. It was frightening, especially since there was no supervisor who could lead me out of this spiral of fear. The fear lasted only for 2 hours or so, then the trip was over as I fell asleep.

But I had panic attacks for another 6 months. Also a very typical time frame for many people. No fun. Stressful places, loud dogs, everything noise sort of made me feel anxious. On the other hand, it was a time where I thought about myself A LOT. I mean, really a lot. After 6 months, I somehow emerged with new self-confidence which grew a lot over time way beyond the self-confidence I had before (which could also be just a side-effect of getting older, I don't know).

So, now I wouldn't like to miss that experience. I don't know how it changed me, but I certainly do recommend that people should never try hallucinogenic drugs without supervision - people who can help you mentally to escape states of fear.

> Amazon has probably 10 times that many Kindle users or more already

Kindle users may very well prove to be a different demographic than tablet users. If they sell 10 million Fires then they will probably be out-selling iPads in that space, can't see that happening. A lot of Kindle users will stick to Kindle because they just want to read books on an e-ink screen.

Do you have any idea how many mobile patents Palm has?
I once had a single, very high dose Psilocybin experience which lead to a lasting change that was very much for the worse.

Having had my perception of reality profoundly changed by the experience I began to question my senses on a regular basis, with associated anxiety and panic. Then there were also the nightmares where I was tripping, would wake up, have something weird / trippy happen have a "world is ending" anxiety attack complete with ears ringing so loudly its painful. Then I'd wake up from that, with similar results, only to wake up from that. Never really sure if I was fully awake or not.

Thankfully after 18 months or so, it went away.

Of course, your mileage my vary :-)

I personally am in favour of this type of research but just wanted to share my experience. Its not all beer and skittles!

I do alright. I went with something that's lower salary, but there are things in life that are more important to me than money. Dailybooth, the company whose offer I accepted, seemed to have the maximal overall combination of the things I was looking for.

What I did wasn't magic, though. I worked my ass off to get relevant work experience starting as soon as I could. I used that to get into a YC company. They liked me and my work enough to write me a letter of rec and forward my resume to the YC founder's list. FWIW, no one even asked about college beyond "how's college going?" as I was in final's week of my last semester when I interviewed with a bunch of companies after the forward.

Authorizing an amount, but never capturing it ('capture' is the industry term IIRC) is a hack on the system so far as I'm concerned.

1) I've gotten security calls from banks before just because some gas stations were authorizing the card for $100 prior to capturing for the actual amount of the gas. It even took the person on the phone a while to tease out that it was a $100 auth and not a $100 purchase.

2) The hotels a authorizing for a large amount because they want to make sure that you can pay for damage. They don't care if it goes on your credit. They get their money, then payment just becomes a matter between you and your credit card company. Note that not all hotels will authorize for $500.

> I don't get the logic behind extending someone credit and
> then allowing it to be held-up in pre-authorization that
> will never get processed for the full amount

Technically, the full amount can be captured until the authorization expires or they capture for a smaller amount. That is why. They don't want you to max out the card, and then have a $500 capture that they weren't expecting. Oops! You're $1500 in debt now on a credit card with a limit of $1000!
