At first I thought this title said "The Most Difficult SEO Skill?"

I was thinking someone's conscience finally caught up with them. Only to discover this is just more Internet VC gibberish. Oh well.


VC gibberish? I found this to be pretty insightful, and valuable life advice in general.


You are getting valuable life advice from an internet venture capitalist? I will say a prayer for you.


The ad-hominem is unnecessary and unfounded. Ben Horowitz has a legit entrepreneurial track record, and he generally says pretty smart and useful stuff.


"A diamond is forever."

Translation: Please, please, please don't resell it. You'll screw up our cartel.


Nope, not a problem at all. Because very few people buy used.


So where do all the old ones end up?


I bet quite a few end up in coffins.


God how I miss that.

Where can I find 100's more like this, _on the web_?


Easy: Longform.org.

Slate aggregates and curates some of these:

Sweet! Found an old longform article I had lost the link to and couldn't google back either. Thanks!


Entirely off topic to this post, but given the HN audience, this is one of my all time favorite long form articles:

"Mother Earth Mother Board" by Neal Stephenson. Wired. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/4.12/ffglass_pr.html

It's about FLAG - Fibre Optic Link Around the Globe. 40k+ words.
