Good obviously got what he deserved.
dyc··on Uber CEO responds to concern that Uber's SF service is decreasing in quality
2 and 8 minutes? Are you serious? Sure you're being promised something and getting something else, but....

At least it's better than being promised that a cab would come in 15 minutes, and then having to wait in the rain for 50 minutes instead.

dyc··on Washington Post to be sold to Jeff Bezos
Seattle-based Amazon will have no role in the purchase; "Bezos himself will buy the news organization and become its sole owner when the sale is completed, probably within 60 days. The Post Co. will change to a new, still-undecided name and continue as a publicly traded company without The Post thereafter."
dyc··on A better way to read HN on the iPad - Happy Thanksgiving From Onswipe
There are times when you believe in your product and know what's best for the customer. This shouldn't be one of those times. Don't ship junk.
dyc··on Isaacson: The Genius of Jobs
You assume that ways of thinking and doing are rigid. I don't know about that.

Moreover, when we do look at the "humanities," the wisdom gained from China's five-thousand year history trumps that of this country.

dyc··on The Pocket Notebooks of 20 Famous Men

It cools your laptop down to an assigned temperature by adjusting the exhaust of your fan. It works pretty fast too.

dyc··on Stop shitting on Wall Street
"I spent two years and a summer as a junior banker. I knew from the get-go that I never wanted to be a career Wall Streeter. I viewed my time in banking as a continuation of my education. And you know what, from that perspective it was incredible. The nearly undeniable reality is that the skills and knowledge acquired in banking are remarkably valuable and broadly applicable throughout ones career. Contrary to uninformed opinion, it is not all about spreadsheets and powerpoints - it’s about understanding flows of cash through companies, analyzing markets, thinking critically about strategy and competition, and importantly, identifying and valuing opportunities."

This is so far from the truth. Most junior bankers come away learning little relevant or valuable towards actual business and the startup world.
