I guess this wasn't made clear by the way I worded my opinion, but I was insinuating that you could legally pay all you are required to as per United States tax law while socially not paying your fair share.

Great example: my fictional grandmother dies. She leaves me her 250 year old colonial home. Lets say that its worth $300,000.00. Lets say that for one reason or another I want to sell the home and prefer to invest that money in more real estate. I find a duplex that costs $300,000.00 (it could cost more or less, but I am keeping it the same to simplify the example) and I am reasonably certain that I can rent it out and generate a net profit per month. I find a 1031 real estate broker and set up a 1031 tax deferred exchange. Upon selling my fictionally grandmother's home for 300k, I will turn around and buy the duplex for $300. Uncle Sam get $0 in taxes. Zero. I pay the 1031 broker their fees. I paid all that I am legally bound to pay as per all the applicable tax laws in the United States. I have paid my fair share, as you called it. When I want to sell that property and most likely trade up I can keep doing the same thing and deferring the taxes indefinitely. There are further ways to minimize taxes on the rent collected, but that is beyond the scope of this simple example. There are a multitude of books on the subject discussed above and you are welcome to look up the 1031 tax code yourself.

The example above is purely to illustrate that there are in fact ways to minimize your tax burden. So as I said before, it depends.

In any case, I simply offered up an alternative which would enable Mark to keep 100% of his shares while still abiding by US tax codes. It appears you missed that point or were so obsessed with flaming me as a result of your personal opinion on tax law in the United States to grasp it. And no he doesn't pay the tax man with some else's money, he gives a creditor future cash flows in exchange for cash today to cover his capital gains that are being realized today (and again as I mentioned early only if the interest rate on the loan and his stock position is favorable for him to do so).

>Sorry for the tangent folks. I'm not commenting on Zuck's situation. The comment about not paying taxes all year is just plain wrong, and I would hate for someone to try it and get dinged. This is especially important for the newer startup people that don't have the usual single W-2 situation. That's all

Its unclear what you are referring to here. I am going to go out on a limb that while failing to grasp my own argument you went ahead and tried to insert words in my mouth as well. I never said he would avoid paying taxes all year, once again, he would be paying his taxes today with the loan, according to the analogy I put forward. I am not sure where you get off flaming someone on HN, this is not how to conduct an intelligent conversation here or anywhere else for that matter.

Good day.

For some reason the Facebook IPO reminds me of when Steve Case sold AOL to TimeWarner in 2000.

From the AOL wikipedia page :-
"AOL is best known for its online software suite, also called AOL, that allowed customers to access the world's largest "walled garden" online community and eventually reach out to the Internet as a whole."

At the time it was held in high regard for getting such a massive online user base (around 34 million) - which is a bit paltry by today's standards.

I expected Facebook to announce plans for an ad network to coincide with their IPO. I'm a little flummoxed that we haven't heard anything yet. It seems like an obvious outgrowth. I wonder if concerns over a privacy backlash would push them to keep this project on the back burner?

The practices of the marketing and advertising industry have a history of being received negatively, only to be reluctantly and slowly accepted as a normal part of everyday life. I am currently reading an old economics books (org. published 1958) that rails against the industry for creating unwarranted demand for non-essential products, and argues that it is a root cause of economic volatility. Of course, by today's standards, the industry practices of 1958 would seem tame.

5 years ago I might have agreed, but today tower coolers seem so large and efficient that watercooling doesn't really seem worthwhile, at least for low-power systems. In watercooling you have an additional noise-generating part (the pump) and you still need fans. Tower coolers can mount the same 120mm fans as watercooling kits usually do, and iirc 140mm is option for both too.
I'm guessing your $14 price is not the sweet spot for you. Bear in mind you can't even try to price mobile apps as if there was a free market because there isn't. It's manipulated by Apple and Google, and low prices get tremendous benefits, because they want apps to be cheap so their mobile OS will have more value for the user (yes, it's a scam). Tell this to the people who blame developers for low app quality and whine about it all day: Apple and Google can have the apps they want, they just happen to want cheap and crappy because it makes their OS the best value for the consumer.

Point well taken. Maybe $3M is a good default value for a "credible" startup nowadays or maybe it's a bit high. Depending on the particular risk factors and assets the startup has (team track records, market, etc.), it could be either a low or a high estimate. The important thing, I think, is that people do that analysis.

Mobile phones can be your Internet device
We do not need a separate internet device when we can use the internet on our mobile phone.

A bit off on tangent - I believe the real potential for "the game changer" in advertising is in the following quote from the article: "If, for instance, frequent-flyer programs and travel destinations actually knew when you were thinking about planning a trip."

Low-power Intel desktop parts are marked with a "T" instead of "L". Eg Intel® Core™ i5-2390T is 35W part, and there is couple of 45W Ivy Bridges available if you need more performance. Sadly AMD doesn't really provide much competition in this segment, almost all their desktop parts are 65W or (much) more, and trinity/llano parts are usually 100W.
That might happen initially, but I think the effect will go away as people get used to dealing with e-books.

When I'm shopping in an actual physical bookstore it often makes sense to buy a book that I won't be ready to read for a while.

First, if I become ready for it at a time when it is inconvenient to get to the bookstore to buy it I have to wait to start reading it, and that could be annoying.

Second, it might no longer be stocked when I get around to going back for it. I then have to order it, wait for delivery, possibly go pick it up if I order for delivery at the bookstore.

Third, I might forget about it.

With an e-book, none of these apply.

First, the e-bookstore is for all practical purposes open 24/7/365, and the book is only a couple of minutes away.

Second, it is unlikely to go out of stock.

Third, when browsing at an e-bookstore there is usually an easy way to mark books you want to get back to later.

Putting these all together, there is very little point in buying an e-book when I'm not ready to start reading it soon, unless it is on sale.
Here's a recent study on adblocking. http://clarityray.com/Content/ClarityRay_AdBlockReport.pdf
Sure, but did you notice how they use Facebook? I've watched (and asked) several of my non-techy friends and there reaction was always the same: "Yeah, I just update my feed, look for updates of my friends and that's it."

I don't see how Facebook wants to make money of such an usage pattern, so at the moment it doesn't help them very much that people have smart phones to "do facebook".

Well, if you don't have problems with SVN, then he hasn't done much of a job explaining how git is an improvement, has he? Why even bring up the competition if you're just going to vaguely say "X sucks and we all know it!" without ever drawing a comparison or explaining why the competition is weak in an area?
Like most other non-scientific fields it's my experience that you should read books around the topic not on the topic.

If you want to be good with UX you don't read books about UX you read books about psychology, typography, color-theory, comics.

If you want to be a good entrepreneur you read about well everything kitsune_ wrote and even non-fiction.

You can't read your way to experience.
Thank you...I I've voted appropriately as I thought just the same thing (but I am in a catch-22 here as I'm replying to your comment :)
It's pretty unprofessional for a guy of his
stature and influence to go on these ranting tirades

It probably is unprofessional in the conventional sense, however if you think about what that word means, it really does not matter.

Professionals are people that provide a service in exchange for getting paid, versus amateurs (in the original meaning) that are people providing a service just for the thrills of doing it. Money is not the differentiator here btw, as amateurs are getting paid if what they do provides value to people. The difference is that of the primary purpose - professionals work for the paycheck, amateurs work regardless of that paycheck.

And the word "unprofessional" is used to refer to behavior that would lead to the absence of that paycheck. For instance, if you walked into a grocery store to buy some bacon and the seller's bad behavior would drive you away ... that's unprofessional and it is discouraged because it hurts the business, as it loses money.

In this particular case, Linux is widely popular and is getting even more so every day, in usage and in contributions. Linus not only has been doing this for the fun of it, but his driving of the project has been extremely effective as there is no other open-source project that scaled so well.

So he's not a professional. Who cares when he has done such a fantastic job?

People saw value in Facebook, otherwise they wouldn't have purchases shares last week. Yes, well overvalued but investors are willing to pay a premium for the associated and perceived value.

1) The main value is the sunk cost people have in Facebook. The vast majority of your family and friends are on the platform. You unwittingly have built up a scrap book of your past few years - photos, messages, relationships...

2) The other value is the time people spend on Facebook plus the large user base. You just need one or two mechanisms to extract revenue from this position and you are winning.

There are plenty of risks, some may be:

1) The Government cracks down on privacy or advertising standards.

2) An alternative arrives that makes it easy to transfer your profile. You can always download your Facebook profile.

3) Suffers the MySpace factor. Facebook is left behind due to better and more exciting offerings.

For now, Zuckerberg has shown his ability to compete. Until people stop spending hours on Facebook, they are very far from failure.

The same points, formatted so the text actually appears on the screen:

1. kill the first-load chrome download bar (I don't want it until I know I like the service) or make it non-blocking

2. use something like pushState (or location hash) to have all URLs always be referencing something useful (like the current song)

3. a canonical share source (solved by point 2) rather than just social-network buttons

4. add a "recently listened" thing of some sort

5. add a "listening with XXX others" count (specific to artist/track), for social proof of a different kind :)

6. add an "up next" with the option to skip

7. channel combinations (might be possible already? but the ability to listen to post-rock + ambient-electro would be cool, might confuse the UX)

8. nicer design.. it's ok at the moment but definite room for improvement.
Hey don't tell everybody about the resume thing. It'll stop working ;)
Definitely not worth it. I'd be worrying about potential physical contact, phone calls, etc. Seen and heard it before personally. Best bet in most cases is to take care of things and get out of there, minimise ongoing contact (stay terse on the phone, don't respond to emotional appeals coming by email) and stay level-headed.

If that's true then fair enough, and I think your version of the comment is a nice middle ground.

It helps if you pick a pet project that uses the technology of people that are likely to hire you.

> 99% chance you don't ...

This is kind of why most startups I see, or at least, with web apps, I think will do nothing.

The other thing with most of them and almost society in general now is this great congregating of all things whilst not improving. There's an amusing selfishness that's hypocritically common now too.

I also wonder how exactly they're measuring their lives. By the amount of trivial things they get done? By how efficiently they can read a message on the internet? A lot of it comes down to 'neat party tricks.'
