A relevant quote that stuck to my mind from the movie "contact": "Young Ellie: Dad, do you think there's people on other planets? Ted Arroway: I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space.

One country that has a lot of gain from maintaining the peg is China and it happens to have the resources to do so if it comes to it.

"I can guarantee that you won't go in the order or at the pace you expected. You will need to adapt the pace of the presentation to the needs of the VC." -- This is something I can relate to based on our YC interview last year in Boston. We

Startups that make what people really want are likelier to survive the downturn when it does come. For example, Peter Lynch has said that downturns are a good time to invest in companies that make breakfast cereal -- people don't ever sto

Misleading title. Tor promises an anonymous source IP and nothing more. Its still good for that application.
