I don't even like the term "illegal sites". It's like the term "illegal books" or "illegal thoughts". Anyone advocating for sites to be illegal is probably not too interested in freedom. Can sites advocate doing illegal things? Sure, just l

And he's not an expert in 90% of the things he teaches. He's just quite good at understanding things quickly and explaining it to others, like Feynman was. Being called Khan Academy is apropro, it's mostly about his teaching and he is irrep

This article seems to be an ad for this guy's product, which is non-accredited college degrees from an online school. There's a lot of organizations doing online degrees, this is not very unique. The comparisons to Khan are bizarre.

I had things locked down great, as I had gone to work with them to implement my IP that they required fundamentally as part of their business. They signed a licensing agreement and a document outlining the various inventions I had coming in

Like many others here, the couple times I've been along from start to exit, despite all the contracts and promises and hard work at low pay with no overtime, key contributions, etc, so far, never a dollar, and in one case, a protracted lega

"At some point, not too soon after the theft took place, that prototype was in that house." You have absolutely no proof of that. If you do please link to it. Statements from Apple goons aren't evidence. I could state that you are a terrori

"This guy has at least some relation to the theft" Not so, that is not known yet. Is the civilian GPS resolution sufficient to hit exactly one house? Does it ever give errors? How long was the signal at this house? When? When did the signal

I don't understand why people in the Netherlands are so gung ho about emigrating to the US. All I hear from europeans is how the US is a warmongering nation that has health care only for the rich. I think that's largely true, but then why i

Yes, this is disturbing. Contrary to some claims, this was not an off limits area. It was on the Pennsylvania Avenue (which is closed to vehicle traffic but not people here) and is a public area. It is extremely wide and the protestors were

Ah, thanks for that correction, I mistakenly read "I am a 26 year retired law enforcement professional" as "I am a 26 year old retired law enforcement professional".

Some folks have the idea that that leaders boss people around and tell them what to do. That's actually micro-managing or dictatorship depending on whether it's corporate or government level. Leaders are people that inspire others who follo

I agree. Lost iPhone 5 is a really big issue, the last lost model was international news. There can be little doubt that Cook was briefed on it. I seriously doubt he had no opinion about it voiced in that meeting. Furthermore, someone at Ap

Fantastic, I look forward to purchasing a complete functioning PC for $25. I hope someone is taking preorders somewhere too.

He is single handedly creating the product that is to be the source of their income from scratch. $65k is much less than half salary for this position.

How is it a flame? The $100 OLPC doesn't exist, the $10 India PC doesn't exist and this $25 PC doesn't exist. You confirm this with your post and then claim I am flaming and downvotes warranted. If they exist, where are they? I might as wel

This is an amazing article. The level of dysfunction and inappropriate external control demanded in setting up payment processing was far beyond what I would have imagined was possible setting up a business outside North Korea.

Very good post there. Sometimes of course it is corrupt as well, and all for good intentions. As long as we are doing something for appearances sake, might as well help our buddies out. Locally I see these government funded business incubat

The term "coder" is a demeaning one that is solely used to denigrate the contributions of product developers. If you are the only product developer at a company, you are not a "coder". The correct title would be Director of Product Developm

"A typical 22 year old developer is not capable of creating a foundational product." Yes that is what I said. I'm not sure if you're restating my point as a rebuttal or if you are agreeing with me though. If you can create a foundational pr

OK thanks, fair enough. I had thought he was responding to the latest one that made the rounds here - http://flyosity.com/application-design/if-you-can-think-desi... Seems he wasn't though.

OLPC has a $100 PC, India has a $10 PC, and now these guys have a $25 PC. What do they all have in common? They all have in common that NONE OF THEM EXIST. Yes, that's right. These projects get announced as if they are factual existing devi

The recent article he is responding to posits that designers who code are valuable. That is true. To debunk the claims properly he would need to show that designers who code are not valuable. Instead he debunked the straw man argument "desi

Typical 22 yr old developer making market rate isn't in charge of creating the foundational product of a company single-handedly. So those numbers are irrelevant. For someone with this level of responsibility and involvement, $500,000 woul

Curious what the co-founder does, is he the idea guy, or is he the dude that will start thinking about marketing and sales sometime after the product is done. Is he getting a salary from the primary investor or is your salary the only expen

Compared to London, Berlin is less expensive, better food, has more fun stuff to do, better weather, better accessibility, vastly more attractive women, and less of a police state. I'm sorry they are so offended but London just isn't all th

Decent article. A note though, I find the 3-D engraved body text that is popular on some sites such as this one to be harder to read than flat body text. A bit of eyestrain comes with it.

This is a pretty cool article. The key point as I understand it is that the bank is ISO 27001 Certified, but doesn't have testers, source control or a list of bugs. (The rest of the Joel test isn't as big a deal, but these are kind of big o

I have a question. They note they have notified officials. I've tried notifying the FBI after our sites have been hacked, but they are not interested in it. Is there some other place to report? Does anyone really investigate this stuff?
