Is this government money that will no longer flow into UK VC? If so, good riddens. Get tax payer money OUT of VC.

Just a curious question: is Apple applying the same standard and blocking also black supremacist and black nationalist (and say Islamacist stuff that is clearly anti-others) with the same vigour as it blocks white supremacists and neo-Nazis

No forget all this labeling of people as Nazis.

I fail to see why there should necessarily be this tention between free speech and privacy?

Why are you getting so personal in attacking this dude? One can support a Nazi's right to free speech even while being 100 percent against Nazis or Nazism.

I dunno if Thiel has sway or not, but I thought his short speech at the rnc was riveting and one of the most inspirational messages that really spoke to the time, and of course aimed to reposition the right as pro gay.

I think admins should intervene as a VERY LAST OPTION, and only delete truly obnoxious posts or distractimg flame wars. If people are insulting or use foul language, sure, but if they express bad ideas, that is an opportunity to show what i

I actually hate the attitude of the author, maybe because I'm almost 40? I would NEVER hire someone so clueless and demanding. You get to be demanding when you have exceptionally valuable skills princess. It is not 20 startups that are

I've had more than 10 projects, but also at least 3 big hits. I sense your problem is that you love building stuff, but you are not fascinated or obsessed by business. This is why you reliably build really cool and clever things but ne

I am happy to see them die. How can you claim to be an independent fact checker when you are this dishonest. Politifact equally biased and sometimes outright lying.

As someone with high cholesterol and pectoris angina at 39, I urge people to listen to their Cardiologist over the socalled Internet Experts and even GP's who are falling for pseodo science. The fat story certainly is complicated, and

It is socialism to the extent that the means of production is in fact largely publicly owned- or rather than owned, the fruits thereof is publicly redistributed via taxation. This definition would fit nearly all so call capitalist economies

Everything is well reasoned up to two thirds into the essay where out of the blue, Einstein springs the following jewel on us: "Man can find meaning in life, short and perilous as it is, only through devoting himself to society."

The author asks WHY hasn't clojure caught on if it is great. I think I have a better answer than his conclusion that it aint popular because people shun things that aren't popular. (1) coding when EVERYTHING is immutable by defaul

I have dabbled many times over the last 20 years in trading and even done it rather professionally. There is no easy way to handle a loss. Take comfort in the story of a Ray Dario having lost everything to the point of borrowing 10k from hi

Is it just me or is this author overlaying a very strong political bias over the story of Uber?

Uhm I dunno if you read the comment above, his point was that certain differences do in fact correspond with gender, e.g. Rough and tumble play is more appropriate for most boys than it would be for the majority of girls. Do we have to pref

Isn't wind and solar energy hugely erratic and unreliable? Isn't nuclear far far cheaper, and for all practical intents and purposes it's safety record can be rounded off to "it is safe". It certainly is a lot clean

My only gripe with the Kinesis is it's thickness and key travel distance. Wish someone would make a thinner lower profile version of this.

For me thr Kinesis advantage was a life saver! Thr braces were a gripe for a long time, but like anything you get used to it. You can remap key locations, with built in programming options on the keyboard. (seriously considering making the

In my country they solve this, by requiring your sub-contracting meets certain criteria before it will be taxed as a corporation, rather than as an individual simply using this as a way to disguise salaried income. Did you receive income fr

I think we would have failed at nr 3 (Check out the way this specific feature of the overall product is cool”) we have so many cool features of which we are insanely proud! We are solving several hard problems in ways that make it really ea

Kalanick has done a stellar job of creating value at Uber. He made the rules, and every investor either choses to accept Kalanick's rules, or they can not invest. I will do EXACTLY the same if I raised a lot of outside capital. If you

What I really don't get is, why do everyone advocate for universal basic income, instead of a negative income tax. The negative income tax model achieves the same basic income with less negative motivation for people who want to pursue

I would take it as a slap in the face if I achieved something of great importance, and I'm celebrated on the basis of my gender or race! WOW I would be furious.
