Smart people don't think others are stupid as the truely smart know that others are stupid.

Thinking is not 100% knowing. Think about that.

Also there are two types of stupid, those that are naturaly gifeted in such arts and those that work at it. It is the later that are truely stupid and the former who are just limited.

Sometimes, in professions like engineering and accounting, it is easy to miss the meaning that numbers actually have. If you only look at the numbers (especially when the numbers are a representation for a data model and not physical data) you can miss the forest for the trees. Reading this article makes me think their statistical model is broken.
I'm not sure if anything has changed, but in 2010 and early 2011, Square had one of the most effective recruiting efforts in Silicon Valley -- they were able to recruit away from startups, Facebook, etc. (Palantir was the other one, with Facebook being the "big company" who had no problems recruiting otherwise).

Well I'm going to head off the predictable and boring "bubble" comments and say this:

Pinterest has real value and a clear path to monetization through affiliate and/or advertising revenue. It's really a stupidly simple idea (essentially scrapbooking on the Web) executed incredibly well.

Is it worth $1.5B? I don't know. I would say it's definitely worth more than Instagram for whatever that's worth (not a lot). I guess we'd need stats on number of active users, engagement and revenue to make that determination--something we're not likely to get.

The only concerning point to me is that that it's foreign money, only because foreign money seems to be less discerning, at least based on DST and similar investments.

Anyway, congrats to the team. They've done exceptionally well.
I never really use sort by price because I find that the cheapest results are usually not very relevant, but I do have other complaints about sorting results on Amazon...

Why do I still need to select a department in order to sort? Does Amazon really not have the resources to index their entire product database (or at the very least just pick the department with the most results to save me a click)? And why can I only sporadically sort by bestselling/most popular?

Another article that I read earlier today said that it will only come into effect when you renew your contract.
I teach 6-8th grade music at a local charter school, and while my performance isn't tested through standardized exams, I can attest to my colleagues' enormous frustration with this very issue.

For example: during our standardized testing this year, the school put in huge amounts of effort to align student incentives, most of which were silly and clearly ineffective. (My personal favorite? Disallowing students to bring their own books to read after they finished the test to "encourage" them to check their work instead of hurrying through so they could read the next chapter of The Hunger Games. Talk about easy ways to incite student frustration and contempt!)

I can attest to students finishing a test in less than 10 minutes despite being given more than an hour, or refusing to do any of the test at all. I've heard horror stories of students using the multiple-choice answer documents to make pictures by filling in the bubbles, or simply choosing to color in bubbles so lightly that they can't possibly be read. I know of examples in prior years wherein students chose to write essays about how much they hate testing on the essay portion instead of addressing the infantile tripe they were assigned.

Now, these are obviously exceptions to the rule (I'm a bit biased, but I think our students are almost uniformly excellent), but it is amazing how much damage one student can do by choosing not to care. (Or, in some cases, using their answers to vent their frustration).

And why should they? As far as I know, rewarding students for higher performance is disallowed, leaving teachers with very few tools with which to convince students that these tests matter. Sure, you can go on and on about how their scores will be "important" in their future (which, to my knowledge, isn't always true), but that only goes so far. Sometime during the 2 weeks of intensive testing, the kids just don't care anymore.

I'm all for assessing the performance of teachers, and I'm not sure how to fix the problem (or even if it can be fixed), but one thing seems clear to me: they're doing it wrong.

I do agree with you - this possibly has real potential.

- Can they really pump up revenues the way they think they can? And can they do it fast?

This is almost exactly what I was going to write. Until you get to ACT or SAT's, students really don't have much incentive to do well on standardized tests. Generally they have no effect whatsoever so many kids don't take them seriously. The tests mean so much more to the teachers and the school districts than the do to the kids. This makes them a terrible proxy for how the teachers and districts are actually doing.

They've managed to get the government to subsidize them heavily, price their competitor, cane sugar, out of the market, and support corn-based ethanol production. Of course, HFCS is worse for you and doesn't taste as good, corn in general isn't a particularly healthy staple food, and it makes no technical sense to make ethanol fuel out of corn in the first place.

The point is, policy isn't corrupted by billionaires, it's corrupted by large, politically powerful blocs, which may or may not have individual rich people in charge. It helps if the blocs are geographically concentrated, because the political system works state-by-state.
That's provably wrong. In the first place, both his definitions of "smart" and "stupid" are wrong according to the dictionary. You can't just redefine words so that they suit your argument. If that's an acceptable approach, I can just as easily say all living humans are stupid by defining "stupid" as "not Einstein".

Secondly, even if we allow that his private definitions be used for the purposes of this argument, he's still wrong. People do exhibit consistent behavioral tendencies, after all. Some people consistently think things through, while others consistently jump to conclusions. So I think there is pretty good justification in applying the heuristic of thinking a person is stupid if he consistently jumps to conclusions.

I hate to say this, because I have much respect for Derek Sivers, but this post was pretty stupid.
I was going to make this exact comment. I've been working on implementing part of the 3GPP diameter protocols, and they are an absolute nightmare in comparison to reading RFCs. So many documents that mostly repeat what other documents say, adding a small piece of information here and there with hundreds of cross-references, in a completely unreadable format.

As for the ms-word-ness, I recommend this site for PDF versions of the documents [1]. Just bask in the ridiculous amount of versions and documents in that list and be happy that RFCs are at least human-readable and in a standardized format...

It is reasonable and possible to program these games in such a way that the client is assumed to be malicious, but this is not a common practice. Preventing cheating would be possible in the general case. For most existing games, though, a modified client already enables the user to cheat. It is just more difficult to create it without the source.

Mail carriers? garbage men?? I actually do think my success has little to do with them.

People are paid what the market says they are worth, at least in the private sector. There's only one LeBron James and only one Bill Gates. They may stand on the shoulders of giants, but they each provide more value than what it costs us collectively to have them entertain us and create software. That's called consumer surplus. Mass markets produce mass income disparity- the few winners get the fat end of the distribution curve- but we would be far worse off with out that consumer surplus they provide.
For those who don't bother to read the article - the school in question has an accelerated program, and the students are ahead of the test. They no longer care about 8th grade curricular, because they are up to calculus by then.

I'd guess that this means they understand 8th grade curricular, but the test isn't testing deep understanding, just speed and accuracy of the basic skills. Most tests are badly flawed like this, and create a misaligned incentive for teachers to grill students on a very narrow subset of the syllabus.
This is what happens when education law is created by politicians. Politicians who get their information from lobbyists lobbying on behalf of the test makers. They believe that more testing is good, mostly because it means more money for them. In NY, the ELA is mandatory for students in grades 1-10 iirc. And these are the scores we are judging teachers on. There are many teachers in schools who are given classrooms of students who need more attention and won't perform as well on exams.

We need to seriously rethink education and how we are testing students and teachers.
Its just so wonderful to see what could otherwise be a frustrating, debilitating experience become something incredibly empowering.

Important .NET concepts
I really wish other governments would take a leaf out of the book of the Australian government (the ACCC specifically) on this one.

Some years ago the ACCC clamped down on the use of the word "unlimited" in advertising ADSL services. They said it was misrepresentation to use the term unless you really could download all you want, there was no traffic shaping, no soft quota and no excess usage fees.

Basically, the "unlimited" moniker all but died overnight. But this is a Good Thing [tm]. It means you don't get shady practices where, for example, AT&T shapes traffic beyond 3GB/month for "unlimited" users.

Basically, in Australia you get what you pay for and you pay for what you get. I think this is an infinitely better system. With current bandwidth limits and technology in the US, mass availability of cheap (truly) unlimited cellular Internet access is simply not economically viable.

Data point: the UK IIRC defines "unlimited" as anything that covers 95% of the population. This led to, for example, a friend of mine getting his parents on Tiscali ADSL, downloading a couple of Ubuntu distros, getting classified as a "downloader" by the ISP and put on their shitty network. Those already on it had figured out the only way to download through BitTorrent and the like was to use port 80/443. So the Web had become unusable at peak times. And this qualified as "unlimited".

Unlimited plans are marketing tools in the US to retain customers. Both AT&T introduced them, removed them and grandfathered existing users. The whole point is to put up a barrier to customers leaving (as they'll lose their grandfathered plans). The sooner we end the charade the better.

Pinterest got this valuation because their story is that it's related to ecommerce. The thing is it doesn't seem like that's turning out to be very true at all.

It seems like what has made Pinterest really successful is that it's basically 9gag/tumblr photo/meme sharing. If you look at their content it's mostly of that type.

Products seem to be a relatively tiny portion of the content. I'm sure they can make a nice chunk of money off that content, but it's unlikely to be a really big business I think, especially if their content skews more and more towards memes/photo sharing which it has been.

I think we'll look back on Pinterest as an over-hyped fad I'm sorry to say. People love to rag on it but Groupon will probably look very good in comparison.
Algebra, not calculus, but yes. And not accuracy on basic skills, but regurgitating keywords and choosing plausible multiple choice options.
Facebook got a $15B valuation from investors including Microsoft way back in 2007 [1] when they had only 50 million users (MySpace had 100 million users) and absolutely no advertising infrastructure in place whatsoever; they got this valuation and made $240 million in investor funding before they'd made a penny directly in advertising.

Meanwhile, Pinterest already has amassed well over 10 million users in a very short time, sees enough hits daily to be a top-ten social networking site, and already has a number of advertising arrangements, particularly with retailers like the Gap and Nordstrom.

If this is a bubble, it's been around for a while; and this doesn't seem like the most sterling example. If anything, this is less stunning than valuations of tech companies we've been seeing for many, many years.
