It's not pure capitalism, of course. But America is undeniably more capitalistic than the majority of OECD countries and even goes so far as to consider capitalism an ideal, and capitalistic policies to be more virtuous. And the US is

I did it, therefore everyone can do it? This kind of thinking is completely counter-productive to working towards a solution where no-one has to do it. Unfortunately such a myopic self-accountability for one's own situation is deeply

Since the service you offer is so simple, why not have the home page BE the bill pay form, with some peripheral explanation boxes? I.e. you navigate to the site, and the first thing you see is the code and reference amount fields etc.

Low in comparison to what? The country has female-only trains in rush hours to prevent 'Chikan', or sexual assault. And of course "too much of it is bad for you", it's ridiculous to argue otherwise. (Unless what you

As someone who is learning front-end, the way this tutorial presented is really valuable to me. Standard tutorials too often miss the 'whys' for your actions, and more. It's great to see the decision making and fine tuning do

That's perfectly fine. It's really quite intuitive once you start the process.

I'm referring to the tacit social contract between the state and its citizens, in this case, the idea that the state supports the entrepreneur in the beginning, so that later the entrepreneur can support the state, if they can. I'

Well I'd argue that the ethical difference is fundamentally the scale. How many lives could be changed if they paid taxes according to their social contract? Poverty, crappy healthcare and soaring incarceration are all problems that ne

As a public investor, I was wondering why my ticker wasn't ticking last Friday. I'd encourage anyone in AU/NZ to take a look at Xero - we don't have many public tech stocks here, so it'll be interesting to see what

The problem is that technology accelerating at a pace far greater than 1811, even though that was in the midst of the industrial revolution. Now, it makes perfect economic sense that automation of jobs on the cheap follows on to improving t

I believe it's more to do with establishing a secret or 'exclusive' mode of contact between the hotline and the child. I imagine a large (possibly the biggest hurdle) about getting kids to phone when they need to is to make them feel safe f

Seems very much like a simple differential (which I always thought could be used that way after playing with them a bit). Page 63 of the text.

Please tell me that I'm not the only one astounded by the kind of doublethink that's being taken at face value en masse. This is a beauty company, and it's not giving a message of "you're actually more beautiful than you think", it's highli

Tragedy of the commons. Though that will never happen, so we're more or less free to choose the course of action that suits us best, without it having any overarching effects.

I doubt that. Sugar and HFCS are essentially the same thing, produced in different ways. Sugar (sucrose) is a 50/50 split between glucose and fructose. HFCS has more fructose in it, generally around 65/35. There's a danger from using too mu

To go further with this - perceiving this to be in bad taste is social and culturally relative. Is it beneficial to have that? Among Australian entrepreneurs, tall poppy syndrome ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome - apologi

It's incredibly interesting to me that a share price in an US company can plunge just because their manufacturer in China had some surprisingly low employee churn.

An interesting point was made comparing the proliferation of the Beatles vs contemporary musicians, and suggesting that this is why (more artists producing less) past the 90's we've become increasingly culturally ambiguous. Of course, there

What struck me about that quote is that maybe he's approaching things from the wrong direction. Why make a dent in the universe? What explicitly do you hope to accomplish with that? Not attacking personal philosophies here, but this seems t

I agree. I've felt the same way for a long time, and still do occasionally. I guess I realized that I was only not committing myself fully because if I sabotaged myself (did work at the last minute etc) I provided myself with an excuse for
