I just ran across this very interesting post on Marc Andreessen’s blog. He quotes a number of concepts from Charlie Munger (Warren Buffet’s partner and one of the founders of Munger Tolles & Olson). Andreessen puts an entrepreneurial spin on the concepts and how they relate to start-up environments.
I just posted Episode 15 of Exposure. Enjoy!
Episode 14 of Exposure (our photography podcast) is now finally online. Hopefully we won’t have any more delays in getting shows posted!
Mike Elgan at Computerworld has a recent post discussing his experience with external USB drives – he’s lost 6 in the past 10 years. My experience with them is at least as bad, having lost that many in the past five years. None of mine were killed due to physical damage, and in each case the drives weren’t recoverable using software tools. This has happened both with commercial drives and DIY drives where I’ve installed internal drives in external drive enclosures. Lately I’ve had the best luck using NexStar cases and have good luck with them but I’m still paranoid and backup religiously. I still use the drives for backup and convenience but have completely stopped relying on them for primary data storage. What have your experiences been like? Any comments to share?
