Re: Tech Tuesday: Topics to Cover? - http://continuations.com/post...
"Hi Albert. I'd love to hear your thoughts on technical debt in the context of scaling. We all know that it's an order of magnitude easier to maintain state on a single node than it is on 2+ nodes. But it's also true that a single node doesn't scale too well. What do you recommend? Start off with one node and bite the scalability bullet once you get traction, or go full out scalable from day one?" - David Semeria

Re: Video Of The Week: Rohan's Interview With Albert Wenger - http://www.avc.com/a_vc...
"Also, I agree that often you don't know whether a day was genuinely good or bad until much later. But I disagree when you say that machines are (or soon will be) doing many tasks humans currently do. In services I can't currently imagine a robot plumber, policeman or chef, and in manufacturing I would say the transformation of the Chinese workforce has played a much greater role than has technology. That's not to say there have not been amazing changes brought on by technology. But I see these changes more in terms of your own phrase "networks over hierarchies" (ie people displacing other people) rather than in terms of machines doing the displacing." - David Semeria
