Security through obscurity is inferior to security by design, and for that reason I agree that the voting policy should be transparent to all. That said, I have not noticed the quality issues the original author laments.

Given all the upvotes on this post, I'm guessing I'm in the minority. But, I'm not a fan of wikileaks' ethics. Whistler blowers are important, and I have a lot of respect for their bravery, but wikileaks feels like a metalayer on top of whi

Do you respect the people for whom you work? Working for and with smart people is far more rewarding than a 25% boost in salary. Surround yourself with people you respect and really want to work with, and I think that money concerns will b

I don't know whether or not the Seedcamp T&Cs are legal. But, they are logical IMHO. You get about 25 hours worth of advice from Saul's high-value network of entrepreneurs and investors. In exchange for this advice, Seedcamp gets an opt

I just wish Wikipedia would find a self-sustaining model that didn't rely on perpetual annual donations. I'm not proposing a for-profit company, but I am proposing finding a non-compromising way to make just enough revenue to keep it going

If you're stuck on Outlook 2003, Lookout is an add-on for '03 that adds blazing fast search. I find it works faster than Xobni.

Justin, I've been mucking around for awhile in MTurk trying to use Qualifications to create an survey that would target a specific demographic. Have you cracked this nut? Is this something you're considering adding to extend the product?
