Nice to have the choice, either way. Have this one for free: I recall visiting Wat Po one evening an hour before closing around sunset. Not only was it unbelievably peaceful and quiet, the guards let us in for free. Love the idea of Google

This point has been addressed several times in this discussion. It's not about the number of houses. Thanks.

Completely this. As someone who was profiled and eventually experienced an attempted-blackmailed by a company in India (employer details gained among other things) - everything seems inconsequential ("I've done nothing wrong"

>>I love Airbnb. It's one of my favourite startups, from both a user's and entrepreneur's point of view. Until that one time when you encounter a problem with an Airbnber, Airbnb customer service try to help, give you h

I recall a recent UK Prime Minister (Tony Blair) saying exactly the same thing. Classic free-rider problem.

The UK is completely strong enough to invest in areas of need around the world AND in the landscape/enviroment in the UK also. It's a matter of priorities and political will (both by the UK and Indian government), not ability nor

I wonder. I'd argue that watching an unboxing gives me a much quicker idea of what's really going on than trying to tease out what's the truth from the reviews. ("20 positive reviews. How many are fakes? Let me read the

Of course, I sympathize with any casualties. However, this seems to be a question of responsibility in my eyes. If you're not aware that potential dangers still exist when you step into a car, you shouldn't be driving the car (whi

No one expects these things. And I can't see it for a few years. But ... if the EU members starts falling like domino's, Europe will look very different in a few years time. Tensions with Russia (Ukraine?), the rise of regional in

I don't want notifications. I don't use FB to chat. I'm totally happy with the web FB. And, maybe I'm wrong, but it appears like the FB app using a crap-tonne of data in comparison with web. Side benefit: FB app not foll

As someone who gets stuck more in data/spreadsheets - this has given me something interesting to think about. Not much to add except a thanks for the blog post about it and for broadening my scope.

Thanks very much, didn't notice that.

There's a very fine line to be drawn. I think it boils down to a conflict of interest and hence Thiel shouldn't have been involved in the legal process at all. That's the unethical element about it (to me). I think it's

Don't apologise. You're spot on.

My own and many other pension plans will have bought into many of these companies. We are all indirect stockholders. The success and failure (including how poor performing CEO's are remunerated) of top companies directly impacts my fin

Way too sweeping a question. I can have trust in a government, but not in some of the individuals that make up that government. And I would want necessary protection from said individuals. Enter: encryption.

Your initial question startled me to my core ... it's the kind of question which reminds me why there are such deep divides between humans. Maybe it's a question of ideology or lack of experience. Possibly you've never seen a

Sorry, down-votes accepted, disclaimer that I don't support Google out of preference at all, but from a consumer point of view, I must say ... FUCK YOU, AT&T.
