some people aren't comfortable with ruby
zackattack··on How Andreessen Horowitz Fumbled An Instagram Investment
did not mean to imply that paul graham, of all people, would not respect privacy. i was just trying to be satirical, and i guess my attempt failed.
zackattack··on How Andreessen Horowitz Fumbled An Instagram Investment
i guess i should've said "plz chill". anyway, keep downvoting me, i can take it all day.... and you know i have a point

there's a rapper in the bay who's blowing up and he hasn't gotten a deal yet. are there any investment vehicles i can use, some kind of option contract i can offer him? the artist is HBK btw, heartbreak gang, iamsu! and loverance, etc., from the hits "swaggin" and "up!" (i beat the pussy up, up, up, up...)

zackattack··on How Andreessen Horowitz Fumbled An Instagram Investment
oh yeah i'm sure that marc andreesen is in cahoots with paul graham and has the extension to see your downvote..... way to curry favor there champ
zackattack··on How Andreessen Horowitz Fumbled An Instagram Investment
Marc ensured the market expanded with his wise bet. I doubt he has any regrets. Who knows whether Instagram would have expanded unless they were motivated to get to a point of turning their backs on A16Z. $ talks.

Yep yep, the motivation is just to give back to the community, and simultaneously reward me for the stimulus initiative

cool story bro
zackattack··on Splunk (big data) IPO Raises $229.5 million ($1.6 billion valuation)
We installed and used it for a week or two. It's terrible. Not cutting edge at all. Maybe good for enterprise. Slow UX.
zackattack··on AWS Marketplace
new information always changes things.
zackattack··on AWS Marketplace
why on earth was i downvoted? ??? are you guys NOT looking at the charts???? note that i made my call BEFORE the market opened ... and i was right

> If you've been friends for a year that's probably enough

thanks. is there any reason it is not now time to add this point of data to the application. definitely a question i as well as many others have wasted thought cycles pondering. though i do like the privilege of having access to this information.

i don't know golang or clojure or c and this is a selfish-borne request that i figured would be worth making because of global benefits.
zackattack··on YC Facelift: Flutter
word. let me know if i can ever buy you a beer.
zackattack··on AWS Marketplace
Congrats bushi.do, sgrove and YC on the acquisition!

Kidding aside, this must feel like wonderful validation all around on the market.

zackattack··on Amazon CloudSearch - Start Searching in One Hour for Less Than $100 / Month
Yeah, there's a side project I've been wanting to build for a long time, and it needs search. But the way these prices have been presented, it seems that CloudSearch is just not economically feasible for a SaaS / free multiuser offering.

Can you please email all future posts to me? ;p zackster@gmail.com -- I don't use RSS any more, and I'd hate to miss them.
zackattack··on Instagram is "worth" more than the New York Times
>Part of the problem is that Facebook is pissing users off, especially with this new timeline nonsense.

Oh really? Do you have the engagement stats to back that up?

On a side note, how hard would it be to write a WordPress extension that generates static HTML every time you write a new post or a new comment gets approved/submitted?
zackattack··on Surf Air: Unlimited Flights for $1k/mo
$180 for a flight tomorrow AM on southwest SFO LAX. That's $360 RT. Of course Palo Alto is more convenient than SFO and you're going to be taking a $100 car ride each way that's $200. So $560. Four times a month and it's a bargain... I know plenty of people from Palo Alto who had made that type of commute twice a week.
