You have to understand that those were just slogans, with almost no practical equivalent. Corruption was rife, and taxes were almost unheard of. You get a salary (cash) and pay for goods with cash. No taxes on either end or annual tax retur

The difference between socialism and communism was all in the "communist" propaganda. All east-european countries were "socialist" with the almost utopian goal of becoming "communist". It's a label that co

Also, ideally, you don't want to add length to width, or Hertz to Becquerel (both have [1/sec] unit). This was my humble attempt to address this with a Scala Units library: https://github.com/adrianfr/scalau

If the City needs teachers, social workers and others with traditionally lower wages, wouldn't it make sense that their wages would also go up (based on demand) if the rent control goes away?

The same was launched and failed in the same place (Toronto) in the year 2000, with locations at Go and Subway stations. I think Google will want to change the business model radically in some way.

A debugger loses much of its value in a functional language. Debugging Haskell or functional Scala code with a visual debugger is almost counterproductive.

The story is great, but the tile (and supposedly the moral of the story) is wrong. We should not do good deeds for some expected (or hoped-for) compensation or reward - on this world, or the other world. We should just do it.

Why don't you bookmark and cache ALL visited pages. And keep caches for, say, 30 days if space is a problem. I'm very likely to want to search/revisit something I visited 2 weeks ago. This would provide a set-it-and-forget-it approach to bo

The easiest way to informally prove that the demonstration is false is to imagine starting with a circle in a triangle instead of a circle in a square. Or with any other weird shape around the circle and follow the same "cutting" algorithm

by ADRIANFR 16y ago
This is clearly demoware, good enough to impress the general public. But once you go from "Draw a red circle" to "Draw a red circle overlapped one third with a blue square with white dots over the lower left corner" that would be progress.

Technically you are right, everything has a price. Except when that price is way too high. So if you think a share is worth between say, $5 and $10, they can either say (nicely) "we're not selling shares right now", or say (rightly and rude

This is very unlikely to happen because: 1. When a startup sells shares (i.e., you purchase stock) it sells them not only for money, but also for advice and connections. Most of the time these are more valuable than the cash. Since you are

If you're hiring or looking for a co-founder, list your startup on http://www.startuplinkup.com . It's a simple, semantic wiki - a more permanent home for your search. Or you can find a startup to work for. (shameless promotion of my site)

Yes, I deleted startup155. A solution to this problem may be to enable the deletion of past revisions, I think there is an extension that allows that.

Yes, you can delete and move/rename pages, but you need to create an account for that. This is supposed to prevent vandalism. Not sure why would you need a spreadsheet view. You can always use plain search. And than there is semantic search

Yes, I took the data, and refined it just a bit. I had to do it for about 170 of entries. A semantic wiki is better than a plain Google Doc, by having the ability to run complex queries, such as: Search for a startup located in "Florida",
