ilkandi··on The man who screwed an entire country
For example, when charged with tax fraud and false accounting, he changed the law to reduce the statute of limitations. The changes made the cases too old so he effectively acquitted himself. Also, tried to pass another law to give himself complete immunity from any prosecution while in office.
ilkandi··on The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity
It's under "frequency distribution". I like the redefinition of stupidity! There are times we think "yeah.. i see the pattern.. I know where this is gonna go". And we're right. Yet we take the lose-lose action just for the heck of it or just because we can. So intelligent, but stupid.
ilkandi··on What To Do When Your Web Application Goes Viral
Thank you for the submission. I found the writeup short, clear and very useful. Kudos on being a fast developer too.
ilkandi··on What To Do When Your Web Application Goes Viral
He essentially said, "don't check email yourself". Any friend/colleague/temp can do that and sort/categorize it for you. Only the developer can do fixes. More effective that way.
ilkandi··on Why 30 year old entrepreneurs are not over the hill
30/40 year old entrepreneur is more likely to be married or in a stable relationship; fun is Netflix ($5 a month) or streaming movies (free). Use wife's health insurance. $400 a month on transportation, really? Anyone with a wife/gf knows they don't travel that much anymore. No reason for utilities to be higher either. Food is way lower, older people are more likely to cook their own and make smarter supermarket choices. Being older and boring is very cheap.

If working from home eg programming, having your own place can mean that you sleep better and are more focused on doing the work, rather than being distracted by whose turn it is to do the dishes or joining in your roommates' post-bar parties. Of course, having kids or being a caregiver would change the person's profile, regardless of age. Just a few counter-thoughts.

ilkandi··on Mass produced Gasoline from Algae is a reality next year in 2012
Lots of hot desert, salt water and pipeline/shipping infrastructure in the Gulf states. So, once again, the Saudis win? :)
