"Hot" "business" tip: "business reporter" Chris says "all of that cash on Yahoo's balance sheet is burning a hole in Marissa Mayer's pockets." How much cash? How much burning? Enough to burn the passage of time backwards and buy a company that doesn't exist anymore, because Facebook already bought it. In 2011.

Quora can be a place to discuss race relations, poorly. Quora can be a place to explain your company's position in the eternal geo-political battle between good and evil. Or it can be a cry for help: "I'm pretty sure my reality is stuck in a bubble of tech startup culture."

It sounds like the accelerator bubble is constricting right on schedule. According to an email obtained by Valleywag, Eugene Chung, who was hired to replace David Tisch as managing director of TechStars New York in January, has been fired.

So why have they never bothered lobbying congress about this, ever?

My Mea Culpa: I know that it’s people like me that started this shit show in SF. I moved to The Mission back in the early 90s. I was part of the gentrification that started the whole trend of startups being centered in this neighborhood.
