This looks terrific! I'm a big fan of Carcassonne and the theme of this is very appealing to me. I hope you make it to the explorer meeple stage. Anyway, I pledged.

Thanks for the clarification. Is there a recording of your full speech? I like your basic premise, although I would certainly say that Costco is a much better corporation when it comes to serving the working class (in employment and in serv

Who is he saying is the third largest corporation on the planet? Privately held? Publicly? Largest in what sense, market capitalization? I'd really like to know who he actually means there. I assume he means a private company since he refer

A little known company had this same idea in the mid 90s. I believe it languished in obscurity and then died after an unfortunate takeover. The company was Macromedia, the product was Flash.

I assume Mason answered that question about ten thousand times before at that point. If the person that asked that really asked it like that, then I have to say it was a poorly phrased, thoughtless question that no CEO would answer. He's ha

It works with OBD-II. All cars built after 1995 were mandated to support OBD-II: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-board_diagnostics

Those OBD II connectors in cars can be kind of a pain to plug and unplug, so it does need to fit the hand well, but your point about the bright colors is very good. I hope they consider something more discrete.

Nikon and Ricoh/Pentax use Sony sensors for their cameras. Sony makes more money when you buy their Alpha A99 camera body, but they still make a bunch of money when you buy a Nikon D600. When business is booming for Nikon, business is boom

It's kind of bizarre for me to stumble across this reference to Yanagi flatware on an HN post, because I just recently threw out my mismatched collection of flatware that had accumulated over the course of many roommates/years and bought So

I have advocated in the past for Sony and MS that they are behaving as mostly rational actors defending their business interests. People using cheats and hacks in multi-player games is another strong case for keeping consoles locked down.

I think Sony overestimates the amount of piracy that this will enable. I softmodded my Wii long ago (in order to unlock the region to play Japanese and European games on a U.S. Wii). Ever since it's been an incredible pain in the butt to

The currency conversion policy is either going to be awesome or suck depending on what kind of credit card you use with PayPal. Since I have cards that have no foreign transaction fees, I am guessing it will not be beneficial for myself.

That thing that you said there does not describe Andrew Mason in any way shape or form. He used to post on a forum that I spent a lot of time on in the early 00s. He's a clever, funny guy, and he took most of his lessons in ethics from Stev

I posted a reply above, but I also wanted to point out that MLB is similarly blacked out on a regional basis. You could use a VPN to get around that, but that's an annoyance that most people will not (or can not) go through to avoid paying

The online version of NBA league pass is basically useless. 1) All nationally televised games are blacked out (anything on ABC, TNT, ESPN, etc.) 2) Locally televised games are blacked out on a by region basis. So if you want to watch the H

In spite of the pronunciation guide to the name of this console, I choose to pronounce it OOHHHHH YEEEEEAAAH in Macho Man Randy Savage's voice. Cheap hardware, open platform, and a decent looking controller. I would buy one, and I know a d

I don't feel any sympathy for the taxi cab industry. Many of the regulatory "burdens" they face are consumer protections enacted because the taxi cartels were constantly abusing their customer base. With no outside competition, they could

The potential for a big flop is that instead of buying a PC to replace that aging XP box, the customer will just buy an iPad.

You can exclude $92,900 worth of foreign income from U.S. taxation (and another $92,900 for your spouse).

So let me get this straight: rich kid at Harvard gives his bright friend some money to rent servers to run a service that gets popular. Rich kid doesn't contribute any more. Rich kid gets cut out of company because he's not doing shit an

Naming and shaming is not in this guy's immediate interests at all. It does not change the chances of him getting compensated, and future employers may view the act negatively (although this may act as a useful filter for rremoncake, the k

Are there any legal scholars, lawyers, or law enforcement around that can comment on why they would take this approach? Would the burden of proof required for wiretapping authorization be more stringent than for seizure of a server? Could

I agree with most of Blow's supposedly controversial points (on Zynga, social games, and the juvenile nature of most games...), but I just can't get excited about his games. Who wants to spend 30 hours speculating on the psychology of an a

Don't forget, they also need to hire hundreds if not thousands of people and enter a market that is notorious for fraud/abuse, with extremely low profit margins. Gee, I'm shocked they haven't done this already!
