For once I find Ben's arguments unnecessarily misleading. It's pretty clear to me that MBAs are best suited for mid to large corporations. They have already proven that they like to follow conventional wisdom. They have extensive knowledge in many ways a normal business operates.

Early startup life? Not their forte. Improvising, moving quickly, taking high risks with no data?

Ben's argument that large tech companies of the time were run by MBAs doesn't prove anything. They are large companies!

You don't need a virtual machine to sandbox C++; or rather, there's already a virtual machine in action, in the form of virtual memory and CPU privilege levels. The only way C++ (or any other native language) has to access to the outside its world is through calls to the kernel. Without direct file I/O APIs, options are even more limited (e.g. you can't easily write your own DLL loader).
Can I also get an invite code? Thanks man.

Most shareholders had cast their ballot way before the loss was reported.

JPMorgan is not out of the woods, they have to unwind their positions to an unfriendly market. This ordeal may also make them more risk adverse, but possibly less profitable in the short-term. Less profits, more losses, isn't going to make people very happy.

I don't think it's the end of JPMorgan, but acting like they have $3 - $5 billion in the couch cushions doesn't sound very rational either.

It's certainly possible; however, today's showing already has some media outlets discussing whether or not the IPO was horribly over-hyped.

When you consider that we still have the issues in Europe, growing losses at JP Morgan, and a weak economic recovery hanging over our heads, things don't look too promising for the market as a whole. I can see a high probability of Facebook moving with the rest of the market. That's not investment advice. It's just the way I see things.

The 5 Stages of Adopting a New Idea
I will agree on the timing of benefits to mankind; however, I'm willing to bet far more humans benefit from advances in rocketry over the long run.

Consider what we have done already with rockets. There are many satellites orbiting the earth that make huge communication networks possible. Rockets sent them up there. SpaceX may not have immediate applications, but someone needs to be pushing the frontiers of science and technology. If there wasn't a space program going back decades, I seriously doubt we would have the ability to communicate the way do today.
Something to think about. This isn't the first time a show disappeared. Remember when Geek Friday was good and Dan was co-hosting it with Faith? One wonders what happened, any why Dan was made angry enough to suggest a truly dismal co-host for Faith. Blame Gruber if you want, but I'm almost certain that Dan had a part in this too.
Having read Dan Ariely's post about "a note to Zuckerberg..." (http://danariely.com/2012/05/16/the-facebook-ipo-a-note-to-m...), I think the title better rephrased as "facebook IPO succeeds in not 'popping'..." instead!

I think the valuations are a bit of a bubble, but social media is real.

In the dotcom bubble of 2001 I heard the same thing except with "internet" replacing "social media".

In the last bubble there were no customers. Facebook makes $4 per user. The users are customers. They produce real revenue. Nobody's debating whether Facebook can make money.

This may be true but how much of that $4 per user is driven by the bubble itself? How much advertising is coming from companies that are within the Silicon Valley gravity well? If the (so-called) tech bubble pops, people will still need cars, vacuum cleaners and food so how well does Facebook do with those kinds of advertisers?

The reason a bubble is scary is because it distorts your normal metrics of what a healthy company is. It doesn't matter how much money you're making selling hotdogs at the boardwalk if one day people stop going to the beach.

Say what you will about Mike Arrington fueling lots of silly drama, but at least when something like this happens he's open about it and we get to hear his side of the story. By remaining tight-lipped, Dan's inviting lots of speculation. Which is worse?

Last fall, Dan, John Siracusa, Merlin, and Marco were enchanted by his new producer, Faith Korpi. A couple of months later she disappeared. Jake Erickson wrote the following on Quora: "She and Dan had a falling out. She was fired from 5by5, but was given Geek Friday back as a concession to Dan's other hosts. They are not speaking any more."

The fact that within the span of a few months Dan lost Let's Make Mistakes, The Talk Show, and the producer that his other hosts stuck up for strongly hints that there is something about Dan's off-air personality that rubs people the wrong way.

I have an MBA with a BA in Economics but I work for a boutique investment bank startup where I taught myself quantitative finance, SQL, and now C#. The MBA provided a great framework. I did not get the MBA because I like to follow conventional wisdom. I thought of it more like an intro to a set of tools. At least in my MBA program they made us question everything. Case studies can be approached from many different angles and my professors were never looking for the right "conventional" answer.

Why is early startup life not my forte? Would you say that engineers shouldn't go to bars because they are socially awkward?
I think it's just technology adoption lag. Cruisers have had these cameras on their dashboards (dash cams) for a while now. At first with resistance but now it's saved more cops than burnt.

Not trying to nitpick on a post I mostly agree with, but the second half of that sentence would apply to late 2008, not 2012. Corporate profits are at record highs, the stock market has doubled off the lows, etc. It amazes me the denial of the phenomenal economic recovery of 2009.

The seizure clause of the Fourth Amendment would seem cover any case in which they wanted a copy of your data.
Not to burst anyone's bubbles, but just because the DoJ has issued a letter stating that they believe this is constitutional does not make it so. There are opinions, I believe, from the First and Seventh Circuits that state explicitly that this is the case, but, probably until there is a definitive decision from the US Supreme Court or the like, or of an appellate court in a given state, local police could still try to arrest you for recording them, and the police may be able to make a colorable argument that that is valid. It's not inconceivable, depending on the jurisdiction, that a court could decide in police's favor were someone to sue in a situation like that.
Agreed, but it can also lead to herd behaviors, where every other start-up aims to become another Facebook, Twitter, Google or whatever symbol of the day.
England has a bunch of separate independent police authorities. The London Metropolitan Police have this advice about photography in public:

That's not really what they're doing, though; it's buying on special, negotiated terms, with bond-style percentage-of-investment payouts in return.
I don't think the point you make contradicts Steve Blank's at all; to me, Blank's thesis is that startups in the Valley no longer choose to pursue truly disruptive technological innovation because our ecosystem now almost exclusively rewards areas such as social media, where you have to run as fast as you can just to stay where you are, to the detriment of "hard tech" such as biotech, robotics, and the semiconductors of old.

Something was definitely broke, as I was watching stocktwits to see what people were saying about Facebook. I saw at least 3 or 4 people saying that their orders were not being confirmed and still listed as pending. One was using scottrade I believe.

However, I was able to purchase stock just fine via tdameritrade.
What about the rights of the person the police may be addressing?

Is it OK to film someone who is being questioned, arrested, etc. by police?

Many states have laws against unauthorized audio recordings of other citizens.

Does this affect the right to record them while in discussions with police (or anyone for that matter)?

Seth’s Review & Advice with Internet Marketing
1) about the wage gap. i agree that there is a wage difference, but that's not the point we are discussing. we are discussing if people are openly welcoming women or not. so, are people welcoming women to participate more than men? if women are still less in number, is still ok to blame one or two idiots who ruin it. if you are a white male who doesn't drink, would you stop going to conference where you find a non-white female who made ruckus while drunk? how many men would stop?

2) wage gap is hugely debated because all it takes is how much you get paid, rather than any other condition (hours, vacations planned/unplanned, etc). i don't have full details, and would not agree with that. even then it's not full data.

3) also i give in to women being harassed, the point is how much is being exagerrated. some women just complain about people putting fuck in the presentation slides (case in point: dhh's slides from some years ago). we should avoid alcohol then where people get offended by people drinking alcohol at conferences.

4) about the timeline.
a) do you think games which involve men getting shot at doesn't invite men to play games, did it stigmatize them from getting into games? i know that rape game is offensive, but like every women is looking at that game and goes, fuck this computers shit, i won't every be a programmer.
b) how many times have you heard idiot, stupid, at conference and people got offended at a conference and never came back to the conf again? (in reference to bitch being used in multiple incident, pornstar in slides etc).
c) there are some trolls who harass women/women confs. do you know much zed shaw gets trolled? i don't see him complaining about how uninviting the community is and blaming them for not getting things done (also, he would not agree with any point I make, but that's not the point of this reply)
d) there is a difference between getting offended by something and anything.

let me tell you a story: there was a famous author who wrote a book once, and at the book signing, one group of women came to talk to him, and told him that they were happy that they didn't find a single offensive word in the book. he said he was happy they know what they were looking for.

also, i agree some women are being harassed, but blaming solely these incidents as the reason for lack of women is misrepresentative and just making women objects to whom people have to provide support to get them in, rather than making them people who want to get in.

no matter what my point is: if you (men or women) want to get something, and can't do it, don't blame it on other people for that not happening.

You can only set your profile to not appear publicly in searches, and even that is non-trivial.

Even then I'm not sure how "permanent" that permanent deletion is.

Point is that the OP was suggesting that AOL MBA's fucked up the company by making the sign out process overly complicated to maximize revenue. That's not unique to MBA's or AOL, but for some reason that's the perception I suppose because AOL isn't as cool as Facebook.

Right, so cell phones are irrelevant then because when they were introduced it was already already-very-feasible to call people, indeed it happened millions of times a day all across the country, telephone calls were routine. But even though cell phones made a feasible thing even more convenient and easier they were still a very transformative and very lucrative technology.
