Re:Sublime Text 2 Build 2139 Released on Wednesday November 02, 2011 @02:36PM (#3188266)
I'm using Sublime Text 2 because it's obviously the new hotness in the valley.

I was at a g2g and everyone was coding in ST2. The social stigmatism of not using the new hotness is enough to get a lot of people to conform or be an obviously bad developer.

tl;dr Code editors have more mindshare than _actually getting stuff done_.

This same phenomenon is why I use a MacBook Pro (though admittedly, the MBP is peerless, unlike TEXT EDITORS).

Re:Bitcoin implodes: 90% down from June Peak on Tuesday October 18, 2011 @02:22PM (#3126370)
Indeed. I, for one, profited quite well for a few months as one of the many driving speculative conversion rates. I also predicted the short-term effect of the speculation and exited early. I do not see Bitcoin recovering any time soon.
Re:An open letter to Peter Thiel on Friday October 14, 2011 @09:46PM (#3113703)
All I read:

Peter, "put your money and energy behind your convictions" since "the world is ripe for another revolution" through "tablet-type devices" that are "ubiquitous".

Tl;dr, this whole thing is stack of non-sequiturs.

Can I get extortion.xxx?
Do want to go but not sure how I can justify it as a business expense. PyCodeConf's home page makes it look more like a party/gtg than a traditional conference, which is great, but not what the accountant is looking for.

You should highlight this fact in your marketing. I'm buying the app now primarily for this feature.
