Alas, and contrary to what others are saying, being from a working class background is an obstacle. If you would have had a legacy admission to Harvard (which you could have then most hip-ly dropped out of) and had a bunch of frat brothers with VC dads, it would have been a different story and everybody here knows it.

Escaping from the working class is a matter of luck, not hard work, and that's a brute fact of reality. So don't beat yourself up about it, its not your fault.

Whether you want to keep rolling the dice is up to you. Eventually, you would figure it out if you keep trying. And eventually you would flip 4 heads in a row if you keep trying. But it might take decades, literally decades.

Hopefully, the company will only take additional money if it can be used to make everybody's stake more valuable. So even though you have a smaller percentage of the pie, it will be a bigger pie and you'll get more pie.

Of course, the best laid plans gang aft aglay.

The Republican Party needs to kick out these guys who lie about how bad things would be if the U.S. were late on its sovereign debt payments. They are in the same category as the birthers. You can't have crazies in your party. They just cause the sane people to leave, then one day you wake up and the crazies are the majority of your party, and then you are in real trouble.

Is this pretty much the market speaking and saying that Wal-Mart has a crumby business? Especially factoring in that a lot of people couldn't even work there without government subsidies in the form of food stamps, etc.

Is there any way to measure the "Gross Bitcoin Product"? Krugman mentions that as of that writing (2011) the GBP was falling. Is that still the case?

Sorry, I stopped having discussions about whether or not girls have cooties back in the 2nd grade.

(sticks pinky to mouth) SIX TRILLION HOURS!! and get me some sharks with lasers.

#1 No. But you wouldn't have made a mistake by staying either. Who you are is what choices you make, and what commitments you keep. Whatever choice you made would have been the right choice for the person you would have become.

#2. Just remember cash paramount. You can go years with little profit, or even no profit. You cannot last one day without cash. Your first consideration is bringing new streams of cash in.

The constitution is a great piece of paper, but there's only so much a piece of paper will do for you. Every generation must fight for freedom in its own way. Its not like some Don Lepre get rich scheme were you automatically get liberty delivered to your P.O. box every month.

All due respect, but I think the Judge is missing the point here. Its kind of like saying "I can carve a turkey, therefore any high-schooler could do open-heart surgery". Sure, its easy to check whether an integer is in a range. But THEN what do you do? Return 0? Throw an exception? How does the result of this little function combine with thousands of others to form a coherent and productive API? Of course, as system architects, we can decompose the large, complex problem into smaller problems, and repeat the process until the sub-tasks are trivial. But then for the Judge to look at one of the results of this process and declare the whole thing trivial is really a monumental misunderstanding of what goes into creating a world-class API.
