"Maybe this is one of the reasons the Finnish education system works so well" No it's not. In fact it's pretty much the opposite. http://www.greatschools.org/improvement/international-compar...

I wish I could say the same. While it is a great event and everything rdl said is true, it seems like it's suffering from trying to do too much at once. I didn't walk away feeling I had to go again this year.

"a single €0.99 sale in Estonia" Would of course be done through a service. Maybe it's time for these "innovative" payment processor to actually be innovative and provide this service. "£81,000 threshold applie

The demand for "safe"[0] software is going to reach critical mass sooner or later. The question is if it's going to be solved by good tools, processes and education or app stores, insurance ratings and regulation. Software is

As long as we keep treating security as a purely technical problem the state of software isn't going to improve significantly. Responsibility tends to catch up with things. It's mostly a question if it's going to benefit soft

You act like one of those guys he talks about in the article. Judging people from the sidelines and telling them what they should have done without remotely knowing the story.

It's presumably by train since the estimates are written on train tracks.

All major startup hubs have those problems, especially as a foreigner.

For most entrepreneurs "regular" startup hubs, despite their burdens, are worth it for everything else they offer.

This is kind of an old discussions. Let me say it like this: If distributions wasn't free far less of us would be (successful) creators in the first place, probably including you and me.

It's pretty silly to compare the average speed of the Shanghai Maglev. It's like a 7 minute trip with 1 minute at top speed. There's several, traditional HSR, routes in china with faster average speeds.

As I understand it the difference between rude and mean is a matter of intention. With mean being intentional. Linus behavior is frequently explained with him only behaving that way when people deserve it. Making him, or at least his behavi

Uhm, I don't know. If there's one area where VCs have far greater understanding than the average startup founder, it's things like resource management. That doesn't mean VCs should make decisions for you, but they should

"Open submissions" doesn't, or at least have to, mean that you literally take any submission from anyone. It means things like having a larger group go a longer way in the submissions process and trying to stay away from arbi

If anything sexualizing and dehumanizing celebrities is the cultural norm. Which isn't about the Internet per se. How cloud providers can have zero liability though...

by boracay 12y ago
That isn't unique to the Internet though. That goes both for other technologies like cars, guns or publishing and "protected" activities like running a business, being a journalist or a lawyer. Maybe most importantly there ha

by boracay 12y ago
That is not an apt analogy at all and frankly I wish people would stop going out of their way to analogize things. The Internet has been around for a while now, so we should be able to see things, or at least discuss them, for what they are
