I wouldn't bet against the underlying trend (keiretsu collectives of innovative, smaller companies outcompeting traditional corporations), but Y Combinator is the wrong posterchild for this movement, for a couple of reasons:

1. Y Combinator's success criteria for its startups involves a liquidity event - there's no mention of a company staying privately owned and profitable as being a successful outcome (http://ycombinator.com/about.html). This is unsurpising given that pg himself exited to Yahoo

2. To date, YC liquidity events have all been sales to medium-to-large companies (http://yclist.com/). There may be a couple of big IPOs on the horizon, which is great, but the general trend is for Y Combinator-funded startups to be acquired by big corporations, which boosts those large companies' competitiveness and innovation capability

So I would certainly say that Y Combinator's structure is unusual and admirable - but de facto it acts much more like a pilot fish for traditional corporations (creating some kind of new, syncretic innovation model for them), rather than as a replacement for them.

Do I think a r/evolution of the Y Combinator model could replace the traditional corporation? Certainly, but this will be done by "slowcubators" rather than by traditional incubators. A slowcubator looks like this:

1. No expectation of a liquidity event in the child companies. It's expected instead for the child companies to become self-sustaining, profitable businesses a la GitHub or Plenty of Fish

2. Significant shared tech IP - this is something a Y Combinator can't do, because shared tech IP makes it impossible to acquire a startup. But it makes huge sense for a slowcubator, because a) acquisitions are the exception, not the norm, and b) there are huge cost savings to be made by sharing tech IP across properties (think private PAAS, Chef recipes, AdWords automation tools etc). Joltid is the posterchild of shared tech IP driving multiple successful startups

3. Staff incentives which are not structured around focusing 100% on one product until it exits or dies, but instead encourage staff to rotate within the slowcubator's companies to where they are currently needed most. It's great that the Django creator can answer a YCfounder's questions over some beer and pizza, but in a slowcubator he would be hands-on helping multiple products to be as good as they can be (as DHH does at 37signals)

In the same way that the startup acquisitions of the past decade shaped the incubator model that we see today (and is exemplified by YC), I fully expect the bootstrapped successes that we are seeing today to give rise to a wave of slowcubators - the best of which will indeed rival (if not replace) the big corporation.
Well first Thank you for providing another data storage possibility, and a great one at that.

I'd just like to ask - the benchmarks where HyperDex beats even Redis - these are strictly clustered benchmarks - is that true?

Or is the way HyperDex stores data so efficient, that it beats Redis even on a single core / single thread?

Thanks!
Very nice work here! The search is definitely better than in original version, the docs itself are more tidily formatted and easier to read, and the whole website is just much more lightweight than the jquery.com version.
I'm pretty certain I'll be using this when looking up jQuery docs now.

I have only one grudge so far: there seems to be no way of generating an URL to search query, as /#p=XXX only works if XXX is part of the API (e.g. jQuery.ajax) rather than arbitrary term (e.g. ajax). Were it corrected, it would be trivial to integrate JQAPI search into web browser, YubNub, shell, etc.
Don't know.. But you make it sound like a bad thing. If you're out of memory you kind of have to evict stuff, don't you?

I get the feeling you are kind of anti-Redis and I don't get why? Redis is a very cool project and could be useful for a lot of things.. It's not Redis' fault some people misuse it..

Do you have any links to 'mp3/vorbis listening tests', or were you rolling your own from your local media?

The reason I ask is because I bought the WAV version of the most recent Radiohead album and tried to blindly discern a difference between them and the MP3s and failed. I've been to plenty of loud concerts, so probably have degraded hearing, but I'd love to try some more tests.

While waiting for the answer, what does this generally means if the patent is granted?

One small disagreement with you. While general relativity suggests that going faster than C causes a violation of causality, it might be the case that things can go faster than C without causing violation of causality, and we need a new model for such cases.

Part of the point of experimentation is to find holes in our existing models, so it is reasonable for scientists to look for faster than C without violation of causality.
I think the lesson to take away here is to not take life sitting down. Stand up more often and keep trying when faced with adversity. To error is to be human but if we don't learn through our mistakes we are bound to do it again.

Most adolescence strives in it's innocence. It has not learned limitations of the body to give limitations of the mind. I do suggest never stop being a child. It's good advice from the perspective to never limit your imagination of what you are capable of.

How much have you tried? At lower bitrates (160 and under, mp3) I wouldn't notice a sound quality issue so much as I noticed that I consistently became fatigued faster than when I listened to CDs. I honestly don't know if the same holds true of higher bitrates, since by the time I started encoding those, I was listening less and the convenience outweighed potential irritation.

192 kHz is a "bigger number = better" marketing ploy imo.
Dont get me started on interpolating "240hz" TV's.

The move from 16 bit to 24, however, is significant.
And not only to headroom.

As far as SR systems, I really like how 96 can sound. And I'm more comfortable intuitively with considering the limit of human hearing somewhere closer to 24 or 25k than 22.
I'm teaching my daughters to view mistakes as learning something, not failing at something. It's amazing to see that it's becoming ingrained in their way of thinking. When they forgot their favorite Littlest Pet Shop figures at church last weekend my youngest daughter's immediate reaction was "Dad, I learned to not bring my favorite toys with me in case I forget them". That was her actual way of letting me know we had left them behind. She was not complaining about it all, which I think is a great way to look at life.

The way I teach them is in two ways: Whenever they show me something they have written or drawn I point out the spots where they have corrected mistakes i.e. by striking a word and say "Wow, look how much you learned!". And whenever they hurt themselves or mess up something bad enough to complain or cry about it, while I comfort them I ask "So, what did you learn?".

I've done this consciously for several years now and it is interesting to see that it is actually affecting how they think.

You should make the fact that this is downloadable and suitable for local/offline use more prominent.

I believe that you could call this epiphany a change of perception. To his kid, the world is a challenge, and the opinion of others (or the perception of opinions of others), ego, reputation don't matter. Failing, in this new light, does not matter; it is simply the fastest way to discover one less way to try the next time.

Say, for instance, public speaking. We are all familiar with the feeling of fear when speaking in front of a group. However, going on stage and trying different stuff, is (quickly) going to get you better at speaking. I could watch a million YouTube movies about public speaking, but actually trying and failing is the shortest way to getting actually better at it. Only when analyzing what could go better, watching those movies can provide valuable input for a next try (asking an expert is even better). The thing is: negativity and fear (of criticism) often gets the better of us, way before we fail enough to succeed. This often when we hear: "I'm just not a natural born speaker" and stop trying. - Guess what, almost no-one is. Just don't be afraid to fail.
It's my experience that almost everyone takes too much advantage of the social life and not enough of the academic life. In no way does 20-30 hours of school work a week crowd out the rich variety of social interactions a campus offers.

Sorry to be so pedantic, but schizophrenia is a terrifying psychotic illness characterised by extreme paranoid delusions (lizards are controlling my brain through my microwave etc), full-blown auditory and visual hallucinations, broken speech and thought processes, and all of the accompanying social problems that the above would obviously incur.

The metaphorical sense in which it is commonly used, and is being used here, is a confusion with dissociative identity disorder, aka multiple personality disorder. It doesn't help that the word comes from the greek for "split mind," but there is no aspect of multiple divergent identities in schizophrenia, except in the sense that the symptoms will wax and wane over time.

Understand that I say this not out of needless pedantry or tiresome political correctness, but in the interests of society having a full understanding of these incredibly common mental health issues in order that they should be viewed on an equal footing with physical ailments. Perhaps then we could channel our anxieties around psychological health more effectively than we do currently, where we mock the weak in public and chug pills in private.

Clicking on "unsubscribe" from the email requires a login.

retarded idea to go away is the time it takes the community to train the kids the right way

Uh. As you age, you'll notice that an awful lot of "progress" is circular, and the people most often talking about the new, "right way" are the people who stand to benefit.

A cornerstone of our American explosive progress is that old people and old ways get the hell out of the way

Interesting. And here I thought that America's explosive progress was a combination of pioneer spirit, massive resources, and a whole bunch of very lucky historical confluences.

the popular world religions/delusions during the time aging was cured will be the religions that remain with us for a thousand years.

I think your views are very short-sighted. First off, people change quite a lot over their lives. I've seen devout believers become atheists in a few short years.

Additionally, consider the time spans we're talking about. If a person is immortal, he or she will eventually forget virtually everything at least once.

There is another aspect to this which the OP fails to mention - moving the needle. If you think about how much money you need to retire (f u money if you are under 30) then figure out how much money you need to save in order to achieve that...well, chances are you are not going to retire anytime soon. Now, say you were given a 20% raise. How would that affect our retirement prospects? Well, chances are you are not going to retire anytime soon. Even a large raise on an “employees” salary will not make a big difference on a, say, $2m retirement target.

If you are working a 9-5 you are fighting for a 5% raise that just will not have any effect on your life. The "lottery jobs" offer a way out. Of course, it is not a perfect system so if you have any better ideas...
I consider freedom a paramount attribute I expect from software I
use. However, I tend to use use proprietary software if its much
more convenient than free options and either 1) I can easily
switch to an alternative (preferably open), 2) It is being developed in an
ethical way 3) It's a game.

I consider proprietary software to be developed in an "ethical" way when an
entity makes an official statement regarding the destiny of the product itself
should said entity disappear, go bankrupt or, in general, discontinue
development.

For example: Trolltech (then acquired by Nokia), developers of the Qt framework,
double-license their product under a free copyleft license (GPL/LGPL) and a
"Commercial [proprietary] Developer License". In order to protect both the
community and their customers they made an agreement with the "KDE Free Qt
Foundation"¹ which says: "Should Nokia discontinue the development of the Qt
Free Edition under these licenses, then the Foundation has the right to release
Qt under a BSD-style license or under other open source licenses. The agreement
stays valid in case of a buy-out, a merger or bankruptcy."

That's why I would like to hear from Jon what his plans are in case he decides
(or he is forced) to discontinue development of SublimeText for any reason.

There are egregious examples of successful editors being developed, sold and
then (mostly) discontinued. Enough broken promises to warrant strong assurances
from Jon.
