its a bunch of lovely startups that got millions of dollars in funding from angel investors, which makes them much less mockable than kickstarters. but basically they seem to all be "[annoying trendy poo poo], but with [different user base]!"

Hello, friends and well wishers!

I've decided to suspend the Crowdfunding book's project for now, given that it's unlikely to reach its funding goal. I learned an enormous amount in this process, and have terrific ideas about how to build an audience, reshape the project, and launch again.

So hot ...

yeah idk about this one

competent team, concrete vision, can legit deliver if funded

then they're doing shifty benchmarking, that chart that has a tenuous basis in reality, describing a bunch of hard algorithmic problems and assuming a new compute substrate would magically make that disappear




but what really irks me above all else is the unstated assumption that the branches of computer science and engineering dedicated to parallel computing are basically treading water until some slashdot script kiddie gets a $100 kit and cracks that nut

Isn't it more "these slashdot script kiddies will very soon have to learn parallel programming so they may as well make all their mistakes now so they don't create coding horrors in ten years time?"
