I'm in such a scenario myself. Typically you'd have an offshore company in a place like BVI, Hong Kong or ironically in some states in the US, like Delaware (if you are not a US citizen). For most countries in EU at least, you are only tax

I believe the "new mouse" is not gesture-based control like the Kinect, but rather eye tracking such as tobii.com. Gesture-based control is great for certain things like controlling a TV or similar, but simple fatigue will be the problem in

Funny thing is, if it were a Facebook login wall, tens of upvotes would have ensued.

As others have mentioned, using the term "unmatched" might be a stretch. I really wouldn't know the state of documentation for something like, lets say Lisp or Clojure, and probably the author doesn't either. But it's not up for discussion

Whether Joel Spolsky is or is not a tool, lucky, good etc is completely irrelevant. He and the rest of the SE/SO team has built a highly scalable solution based on .NET. So in a discussion about scaling on .NET, it absolutely makes sense to

To be fair, the guy had to manage an unscheduled move from kansas to sf, including family in one week. At the same time he had to figure things out with the cofounders. In such a short timeframe, isnt it understandable that YC werent notifi

They didn't want to name him in order to avoid having their site show up, when people searched for the guy (thus adding insult to injury). From that standpoint, the image including the name is irrelevant as it doesn't weigh in on search res

"Seth Godin is well known for giving glowing reviews to dozens of books in exchange for the same when he releases a new book. Again, this is brilliant marketing and there’s nothing wrong with it." When marketing crosses the line into blatan

"he stopped the effort dead in its tracks, because it would mean "having to learn something new," and that statement pretty much sums up the prevalent mentality in the .NET community." This is an over the top and even somewhat offending gen

Beware that the only way to get your data out of Lighthouse is in JSON format. Basically you will get a ton of folders containing JSON files and attachments. You will have to write custom software to import that data into other bugtrackers,

Not passing W3C validator check can hardly be called sloppy and unprofessional. Try running Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Google, hell even super simple sites like Hacker news through W3C and see if they validate (hint: They

I certainly have no love for the RIAA, or the horrible DRM methods they peddle. They are wrong on so many levels, and is fighting something they should instead be embracing. But PC Mag wrote (like many others) a very thorough guide to LimeW

Definitely interesting. As other commenters have mentioned, a spike in status and experience updates definitely often signifies something is going down. Another one is recommendations. When one person suddenly is getting 2-3 recommendations

Summary: Don't do it, it's a waste of your time. Why: There's quite a few problems with not being passionate about an idea or project, even though you might see it to be commercially viable. For any idea, no matter how great, you need to in

That was back when it was considered good coding practice to code on line 10, 20, 30 etc, so that you wouldn't have to rename all line numbers in case of extra unexpected code lines.
