There are a lot of economic reasonings behind supporting either carbon credits, a tax (known as a Pigouvian Tax), and straight up Command and Control (you will only pollute amount X). The failure in selecting the "correct" one depends on is

If I can get a clarification, how well does the law of large numbers apply to a non-random sample? In other words, 10k paying users are self-selected into the service, which would include biases in measurements. Thus, depending on the varia

It's actually a matter of clicking. The screen is smaller, so there is less on any given screen -- but given this limitation, the rest if fine. Look into an app called Stanza for the iPhone. I've been using it since it has been around, and

The overly conversational tone doesn't seem to do this guy justice.

C Corp with doubly-taxed dividends... Do you have an accountant that works with you? The CPA I run to whenever I have a question has a lot of his own boiler plates he has accumulated over the years and has a list of lawyers he has worked wi

Literally a graphing (only) calculator, or do you plan on expanding functionality? I would be willing to help implement features that emulate my TI-89. Carrying something that useful in my pocket would be absolutely amazing. (integration, d

But is building a following worth losing a few sales? Also, I'm sure that more people that know about it, the more likely it'll become a birthday gift for that right-at-the-edge-about-to-go-full-blown geeky cousin.

And I have a hunch that high ranking comments gain points exponentially, not linearly. I'm not sure if that's what I mean -- but some posts seem to get more points just because they already have a lot of points.

Looks like a .csv copied over. Mind linking to a copy of the original .csv file?

You would have to work on the packaging for the "Mark is dead" button and the "Is Mark dead?" email you'd be sending out. Aside from that, this seems like a really elegant solution. Occam's razor.

I don't participate for the karma points. It's more of a measure how much non-conformists agree with me. Which sounds kind of ironic, doesn't it?

You're not liking the new looks either? When I signed in, I thought: Where did my email go? I have become quite accustomed to glancing at the UI to figure out what's going on with my email. I was supremely confused for a minute.

Typographical errors aside, I liked the post. A bit confused as to who it's targeting, though. Is it about the employer, saying he can't find a good hire. Or the programmer, saying that even if you're good, your interviewer probably won't r
