And that has the advantage of not breaking existing links. Same goes for hosting.

In this particular case, yeah, I think a grassfire is long overdue (like the California chaparral - suppress the fires long enough and you end up burning three counties at a time). But there are times and places where fire prevention is con

I dunno - you're doing most of the technical work. Looks like OP is doing all the marketing. That sounds like a sweet deal to me; if I had a convincing MVP lined up in my head I'd probably go for it. (After due diligence on whether OP is

"rising expenses that include faculty benefits and salaries" At which point I stopped reading. The WSJ is a political instrument.

Yes. Every time I enter the United States, I'm asked very specific questions about why I lived a year in Canada. I have never lived in Canada, but my very unique name (Michael Roberts - just try Googling me) obviously leads to considerabl

Bah. Immigrants always have been blamed for everything bad, in Europe as everywhere else in the world - but the Schengen Accords work both ways, and Germany and France want those markets. They'll never go away.

I have no doubt whatsoever that it will have a serious impact on America's economy, and I will be the first to agree that we deserve it. A shake-up will be healthy (maybe I'm a closet Trotskyist after all). What I'm saying is that it will

Jacques, I like and respect you, but if you think that the impact on the US GDP of immigrants leaving will ever in a million years be ascribed to immigrants leaving, you are living a fantasy. I don't blame you for boycotting, though. Not a

Pretty obvious - modeling your interests is (in the limit) equivalent to modeling you .

So if I have my kids' birth certificates with me, I'm cool, right?

Bah. Everybody always says "think of the children" when they see risk to themselves. It's just a phrase.

The problem is that during the initial phase of expansion into a virgin territory, it's in the franchisee's short-term interest to compete with other franchisees by omitting that clause. This is to the longer-term detriment of all franch

So you're actually proving the point: you weren't born with this burning desire, you didn't learn it in college or high school or (as burning desire would indicate) when you were twelve - you waited until now, and were perfectly capable of

So by cutting the already-meager flow of money available for free content, they hope to force Google to bend to that? When Google is already swimming in money? I think they're dreaming.

Why is harmonization so important for patents and utterly laughable for health care?

I just took it as his contrast between SV entrepreneural attitudes and the reality of the labor market and general attitudes in Europe, and it agrees with what I see here, because I live in Budapest. But man do I not want to argue about it.

Have you ever been to Madrid? They're about as far away from the epicenter of Europe as you can get and still be in the Union - and not at all Central European. A lot of the points he made are very, very Spanish. But as I just posted up

No, actually, I hadn't; I'm nominally on vacation. What I'm about to say is intellectually sloppy. But Varsavsky's facts are not terribly important. His point about German startups was true at one time, and is no longer true, but his larg

Hmm. Perhaps you could stop generalizing about people generalizing about Europe. Varsavsky has lived and built businesses in Madrid since 1995, so I think that his contrasts between the European market and the American market from the en

There are four strains. If only one is common in Indonesia, then you're right - once through is more or less like the flu. In Puerto Rico there are three strains endemic. The more different strains you get, the worse the disease (i.e the

Sigh. They create a honeypot to catch terrorists, then "finally hav[e] to dismantle their own website when law enforcement realised that it was also being used to plan attacks against US troops in Iraq." What? If they know the plan, then

Technical translator freelancer here, looking to do a patio11-style consultancy startup sometime in the near future. Maybe not as successfully, but hey, there's gotta be a really long tail there.

I'm pretty sure (but I don't know absolutely) that the fact that she had clearance means, effectively, that the breach of privacy was her transgression, not the government's. It's effectively as though the police have a warrant to search

No, it actually is the point, because it's perfectly OK for Santa Claus to know whether you've been bad or good - Santa Claus is inherently trustworthy and won't tell your boss, deny you travel privileges, sell your company short, or give

No, the biographer also had a clearance. They were actually within their rights. Whether it was a gainful use of resources given the origin of the tip is dubious, but they weren't actually violating the judicial oversight requirement, as f

Yes, you can grant them some power, but clearly there's a limit. In fact, our law and the Constitution defines that limit - and this program (and others; see SoftwareMaven's response as well) is beyond it. They have taken power not gr
