It is against your interest for Amazon to have a monopoly, and DRM is helping give them a monopoly. That's the thrust of the argument.

I really wanted to buy an ebook reader when I last visited the States. As soon as I realized that if I buy anything that isn't a Kindle means I can't access all the books I've already bought from Amazon, I knew I'd have to buy a Kindle. This is a bad situation for a consumer, since I'm locked in to a specific platform. Right now it's fine for me, since the Kindle also happens to be the cheapest offering. But fast-forward 5 years, and if there's no longer competition, Amazon no longer has to make the price affordable for me.

their idea is good, but the way that it's executed trumps its growth.

instead of having people install this on their computer, they should make it instead so that sysadmins run nodes and put ads on their node search results.

the end user would just go to a .com site, and search. everyone running nodes make money, more nodes are installed. The network would be larger than google in a short amount of time.

wonder why the hell they haven't thought of this.

people aren't going to be typing http://localhost:port to make a search and keep an engine running, also uptime and firewall configurations leaves a lot of the desktop nodes out of the equation if they can't do NAT traversal to participate in the network.

Would you both be working full-time on your startup? If that's the case, which shows a complete investment from both parties, I'd suggest giving it a try. His solid background (e.g. Big Four, IB) shows that he is goal oriented, talented, and will definitely be an asset to complement your technical skills.

Also, consultants have the benefit of having been 'dropped' in many different businesses, and learn about their problems/structures. His potential knowledge of those markets would also prove to be valuable.
For me it would make a difference on borderline cases. If I trust the developer, I don't care about permissions; if I don't trust (or don't like), I won't accept. But sometimes I'm not 100% sure - especially when an app asks for lot of permissions and I have no idea why they would even need them. Then, a plausible explanation could convince me to give those permissions.

I am not advocating this!

I think if you are passionate about your work and work 8 hours a day (5 days a week) at full capacity you are productive enough. I can work more for one or two weeks if necessary (with the adrenalin boost stemming from a near by deadline) but not for much longer.

I imagine the success chance would go up quite a bit if one does basic things like being persistant and reading up on the wisdom of others.
Yeah, I've been thinking about this and I agree with you. The problem here is the ISP pricing models. As part of their marketing, they create 'uncapped' tariffs based on a business model that says that most users won't download a great deal of data. iPlayer breaks that model but what it should mean is that ISPs re-evaluate their pricing plans rather than creating a tiered internet which has the incentives in all the wrong places.

Amusingly, some ISPs do quite well out of iPlayer. Plusnet has a fantastically cheap capped deal (6.95, which I suspect is a loss leader) that users almost immediately exceed by switching on iPlayer.
Context: fair point. I can't say I'm familiar with Aaronson, however (of course I studied math and not CS).
> AFAIK, no one has ever suggested that the phone company is entitled to a percentage of the money that a biz makes by using the phone. Instead, phone companies have to make do with biz charges that are the same for all biz and based solely on usage and installed equipment.

Look up 'premium-rate telephone numbers', in which the phone company and the line-leasing business enter a revenue sharing agreement.

Now is it unclear why ISPs should be any different?

They make money on 1 out of 10 companies they invest in. If a company they invested in goes bust they make the money somewhere else.

EDIT: Sorry for this lame answer, I wasn't reading the question right. The real answer is that the people working with VC are managing someone else's money (the limited partners' money). They themselves get a salary which is a percentage of the amount of money the manage, only sometimes with a bonus correlating to how well they are doing their job.

Indirectly related: the size of current systems: a typical desktop system is written in about 200 millions lines of code (about 10K books, or a library). http://vpri.org/ (co-founded by Alan Kay) is trying to make a roughly equivalent system in 20K LOCs, or about one single book. And it looks like they can do it (5 years in the project, 1 more year to go).

Let's say it is possible. That would mean current systems are about ten thousands times bigger than they could be. That's 4 orders of magnitude. And even if it isn't 4 full orders of magnitude, I'm willing to bet on 3.

It is not yet about raw speed, or latency. But when a system is at least 3 orders of magnitudes bigger than it could be, it does mean that something there vastly suboptimal. And runtime performance could very well be part of that "something".
You're splitting hairs. Groundbreaking has a pretty low bar these days.

Facebook IPO to raise about $10 billion for the company
Zac Gordon's Personal Inspiration Blog
VCs are (primarily) investing other people's money. The basic overview is this:

VC raises a $100m fund that is expected to last for 10 years. They charge a 2%/yr management fee, for their work as investors. Then, they also keep 20% of the gains from their investments.

So if the fund operates for 10 years and exits for $400m, my understanding is that they'd take $20m for managing the fund, plus $60m "carried interest", and return the rest to the limited parters (the investors whose money was actually at risk).

If the fund operates for 10 years and the companies sell for a combined total of $50m, they still charge the $20m management fee, and the investors have $30m returned to them.

Thus, VCs themselves have very limited downside.
What about in other industries?
> I appreciated the final words too. I've noticed an increase in the number of people offering advice about how to do things "right", followed by comment streams about why that's wrong, and "right" would be doing things a different way.

Yeah, amen for that. I also have at least 3 personal projects to which I dedicate as much time as possible. I don't want nor expect to make any money out of them, and when one of my co-workers asked me why didn't I spend my free-time on freelancing to gain even more money (like he does) I answered that what I was doing made me feel good and that was that :)

Mike (disclaimer: I know him) has done more startups than PG, and he did pretty much sleep under his desk for the first couple of years of Techcrunch (well, his desk was in his bedroom, and the Techcrunch "office" was the rest of his house) and has worked equally hard in the other startups he's done while I've known him. Including as a regular employee (that's how I met him - he worked at a startup I co-founded years ago).

So he's not a programmer. There are non-programmers that also work hard, you know.
Skin Lightening A Mums Home Remedy
Money are not that important. It's just universally agreed token for how much people want something.

If there were no money, people will just invent something new in their place. Like "talons" for many rare goods in socialist states. In socialism everybody was paid almost the same, goods were priced according to the state order, but there were not enough goods for everybody (for example cars, but also TVs, houses, almost everything).

So there were "talons" for cars, which operated like "more important money". You worked in factory, you got your pay, you theoreticaly could afford car, but you still needed to have "talon" to buy this car. And talons were issued for people that had connections, or was useful to government (for example by spying on neighborns). So there were 2 kinds of money, and the kind that was important was the kind that was rare. People made big unofficial buisnesses on trading talons for other goods etc.

The moment the socialism was abolished we had tens of tousands companies created, because people wanted goods, and now money mattered instead of connections and "talons". So people started doing things that mattered to other people to earn money, to afford to buy things they wanted. In one month shops changed from having nothing (only very basic goods like bread, vinegar, etc, most food was produced by the only free industry during socialism - individual farmers that sold them on black market), to having everything. That was useful for people, and the reason it changed in so small amount of time was that money are a good way to show people what other people wants.

If people really wanted to stop hunger in Africa, we would do this years ago. The reason we didn't is - we don't care. Abolishing moneys will do nothing to address this problem.

Also - automation increased for last 200 years. People predicted working day of 3 hours, etc. Instead we work more, to afford more things.
VCs invest money from so-called limited partners: universities, pension funds, wealthy families, etc. They're partners in the VC firm by dint of providing money, but they don't get operational control of deals.

The fee structure of a VC firm is similar to that of a hedge fund: they take a management fee (based on the committed fund size) and a performance fee (based on the profits, if any, from investing). Typical numbers are 2% annually and 20%, respectively.

If a VC fund invests $100 million in a company and, after four years, the company goes kablooey, that actually cost the LPs about $110 million or so. The VCs made $10 million.

Of course, and I did know that had I been thinking straight, but I don't think it detracts from the point I was trying (badly) to make.

Obviously advice from a VC is given selfishly, as you doing well means he does well, but for them to do well (i.e. get the performance fee), that will mean that you have done well too.

It is an issue if there are VC's involved. One of the startups I co-founded and owned 25% on at outset ended up with a whopping 1% of the proceeds of the exit. I'm not bitter - in this case the exit recovered maybe 30% of the cash the VC's injected, after about 8 years - and so the dilution was understandable. But unless you bootstrap, you will increasingly be working to also enrich others, after VC's, options to other employees etc..

Exceedingly few VC-funded businesses end up with founders holding on to massive stakes all the way through to an acquisition or IPO. That is the tradeoff you make whenever you take VC money: You hope you accelerate your growth enough to more than offset the piece you give away. That is also why it is often more financially attractive for regular employees to join a VC funded startup: the growth rates are often similarly faster (but you often fail faster too, and more spectacularly; though failing faster is not necessarily a bad thing if you're first going to fail)
