A good mixture of extroverted and introverted personalities will be good for a start-up team. The key is for the extroverts to know when to just shut up and listen....lol

Every extrovert is an introvert in some way. I have seen introverts become extroverts in their comfort zones and have seen extroverts become introverts in a new and unfamiliar environment or situation.

I do not think they are simply attempting to replace existing reactors. I know in many countries governments have slowed down building reactors because of environmental concerns and costs. With the dwindling oil deposits and increasing ener

How are you handling chargebacks? What if the service buyer does not honor you escrow arbitration after the process and files for a chargeback? are you going to take the money back from the service provider?

Y combinator should only be one of the avenues to be explored by an entrepreneur. My team (PayGuard) submitted an early application hoping that they would have more time to look at it, we still plan to update it before the March 28 deadline

No, what I am saying that if you want a program to grow it needs to be able to sustain itself.

I completely agree. Initial government backing will be necessary. Europe eventually won because their programs of exploration and expansion continued for the next 600 years, the Chinese expeditions lasted only 30. The major reason for this

Of course they don't necessarily have to be profitable. The Chinese continued their expeditions for 30 years without being "profitable". My point is that if you want a sustained program that will grow, being self sustaining would be necessa

I agree completely! I am a huge fan of Neil Degrasse Tyson and Lawrence Krause. There are far more wasteful spending that we are doing, and there are long term benefits that the R&D of space exploration will deliver to us.

This is a re-post of an earlier comment but I think it's very applicable to this article: The Chinese explored the Middle East and Africa almost 100 years before the Europeans. Every expedition consisted of 300 ships, some as long as 400 fe

The rocket engine was still running after separation and we could not see when it stopped propelling the rocket so it is difficult to really understand its motion by just using its interaction with gravity and the athmosphere as our only va

Yes but we rarely even know ourselves. We don't know our limits until we try to reach it. We don't know how far we'll get until we take the journey. We don't know if our ideas will work until we try it. You can only theorize about an idea s

Yeah you're right. I don't think Hitler was sincere when he negotiated with Neville Chamberlain on the annexation of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia. No one was listening to Churchill who has been warning for years about Hitler. Who would

I did not say sincerity is not a virtue, I said it is overrated. I don't think Santorum is even close to being Hitler, I believe he is overall an honest man who believes that he will do good for the country. My problem with him is that he i

I concur, Santorum is a sincere candidate compared to Romney. Hitler was sincere too. Sincerity is an overrated virtue.....

Another thing I would like to add is that as much as I would like to, "private property" can never be absolute. I had a few friendly exchanges with some of my libertarian friends who argue that "private property" is sacred. While I do belie
