Recursion is a startup with less than 20 people, but we generate rich biological data at a pace comparable to the biggest institutions anywhere doing biology and disease research. We have literally millions of images like those seen below, from experiments we conducted in our lab, and we generate terabytes more each week. Our biggest challenge and biggest opportunity is to extract the most information we can from this massive amount of data.

Started doing web app development consulting to learn the ropes shortly out of college with my cofounders in Nov 03. Started the design for buildasign.com in July 04 as one of our hopeful projects to turn into a sustainable business (a product rather than service business is what we were aiming for). Soft launch and slowly increased advertising starting June 05. Got our first manufacturing garage space in Nov 05. Paid ourselves for the first time in January 06. Things went well from there.
So I was full time for 2 years before getting paid beyond a just-survivable amount from consulting and hosting.
Ran across this long after the fact, and I'm not even sure if you'll be aware I posted this, but...
I've been wondering the same thing, as C-x is used all the time and seems really uncomfortable. I've found one mention of it, so I thought I'd pass along Steve Yegge's opinion:
"Incidentally, if you want to fine-tune this tip to extraordinary levels, then you probably don't want to use your ring-finger for typing the x-key when you hit Ctrl-x. I use my left index finger, since I'm used to it that way, but you're probably better off using your left middle finger. The reason is that your hand isn't technically on home row when your left pinkie is jammed down on the Caps-Lock key that you've turned into Ctrl. The point is to use whatever requires the least amount of stretching, followed by the least amount of finger motion. You should experiment until you find what's most comfortable for you."
There are a lot of pieces, but I think this might be what he's getting at.
Between now and sometime possibly about a year from now, stocks are likely to go down much further than they already have. So stocks are a bad move right now. Reasons behind this are lack of credit due to all the deleveraging and lack of demand due to consumers scaling back their spending due to also being overextended and seeing their home and portfolio prices dropping as far as they already have. Home prices will continue to drop as well, for a multitude of reasons, one being that tons of people can't afford their payments--hence, we have too many homes worth too much.
The reason gold will hold up or go up, in his view, despite lack of extreme inflation, from what I can tell, is this: asset prices (stocks and homevalues) everywhere are falling. But the money's still floating around. This would normally lead to big deflation. But since governments are all going to be pumping cash into their economies by printing money, they'll offset the deflation and we'll end up about even. In a sense it's inflation--money will be valued less; but so will most assets such as homes and stocks. One big asset that won't be valued less is gold. As more people start seeing it this way, gold will go up and up.
I'd guess that around the time he's forecasting a stock trough is when he'd recommend moving a bunch of your portfolio back from gold into stocks.
