This is what happens for all wars after reddition: Suddently all local soldiers who did lawful things can be charged for having done illegal crimes. Humans are responsible for their actions, perhaps in the limit of the constraints they were

Suggestion: Have a 'profile basket' so I can recover the birth date the next time a service asks for security questions. Actually, generating the "first boyfriend" and "my first car color" would be great too. A

Maybe I'm missing some information, but how can that not be sponsored by the NSA? Will foreign companies still trust such a service? It's still excellent service, though, but I'm wondering how it will become a good deal for c

I need to work on a small infography to explain the figure with details. It would bring a better fact sheet to discuss about it. Good job on citing Xavier Niel. The tax+subsidies system still alters the profile of start-up that survives.

Byroot, it's gross to reject an argument like that. Look: > I wont even comment the 71%, because any educated reader will understand that theses taxes do not add up like that. Emh, have you... done the calculation? Because I did. An

Let's dig (Granted: It's a kind of Godwin point for a French entrepreneur post): - 71% tax above 31k€ per year: VAT 20%, Revenue tax 15%, Taxe Pro/Education 1%, [health, retirement, elderly, unemployment and similar] social m

Just a question: Doesn't "entrepreneur" totally sound French? I'm French so it's obvious to me, but I'm surprised you fetched a dictionnary to back you up. Do English speakers need to be scholar to guess it&#x2

Students ought to grow wary of unwise comments and ratings they find on the "People's Web". Good students will go to the right classes independently of the few bad comments. In fact, they probably make the difference much bet

Big up to the NYTimes. I'm impressed with US newspapers' willingness to speak up despite what they know about the surveillance. Those journalists can expect to be investigated and any wrongdoing will take them to jail. They'r

I really, really have a problems with this permission: - For a very few extensions, I allow it, but it is very clear that it is an open gateway for hackers, - Most often, I deeply regret I can't even tell Chrome that I allow the extens

Agreed. That's where it feels dissonant to me: Google addresses mega-mass markets rather than luxury, to the point it degrades their products. Look at email: Yahoo! has practically delivered "Gmail without the inconveniences"

Yes. While Uber doesn't seem faithful to me on this story, I would also love if taxis in Paris were affordable and good quality, like in Madrid and Syndey. It would develop the job and reduce car pollution.

by aragot 13y ago
There's a license for taxi driving in France. Uber and Uber drivers don't pay for it. That's unfair competition. I can see on taxis-de-france.com that the price is 120-195k€ (Notice the k) depending on the zone. It's not

The article doesn't state it's a protest against Uber. I condemn violence and most strikes when they're used as an easy form of politics, but we can also note that protesters don't feel supported by their government and

A person who would post those comments and articles on Facebook and use a false name there... could already be considered as using a fake ID AND be contrary to US interests and therefore, is probably not allowed to enter the US or fly over

Just a question, why is pg in person supposed to care about equality and what happens if he loses the fight? Do you have prison sentences or civil excommunication about that?

Awesome, thank you, I value your efforts. The whole world is with you and it gives credit to the American people when they care about those problems.

Haha, the last American who uses a French service shuts off the lights, please ;) Wait, no, we're already in the dark. You're right in saying it should be symmetrical. It goes this way: - US person is protected from US abuses by U

As foreigners, should we care? Next time someone organizes something similar, can they think of a worlwide action? Can they make something which doesn't sound like "Worldwide anti-american day" but rather "Worldwide day

I like your analysis, DougWebb, I deeply like it. Please note it's important you American citizen communicate on your opinion as much as you can, beyond your borders. Even if you see no immediate effect, it will benefit you.
