That is enough. Anyone that tries to convince you otherwise wants to leverage your Life for their benefit.

I can see what Coding House was trying to accomplish from this description: give the attendees a 'solved' but real problem that they could start building day 1. Show them how to be self reliant in terms of finding answers for th

If someone compared a state with low caps on medical malpractice like Texas ($250,000), with other states that don't have such caps you could probably get a fairly straightforward answer. I don't know how that shakes out. But I d

When the Universe is taken as a whole do the changes of gravitational energy in spacetime exactly cancel out the changes of matter energy (including dark matter) due to the expansion of spacetime? How do we know (is there some mathematical

I wonder if they can tell anything about a possible Mars water and atmosphere burn off by studying the asteroid belt. It may be detectably frosted since the solar wind would push it in that direction.

A 'conversation' built on falsehoods is no conversation at all. I am less interested in finding some sort of constructive area with you as I am keeping you from misinforming the people who might read your comment and accept it as

My comment is meant as a correction, not an expansion. What you said was wrong. >Rather than remove the exemption, the SEC has effectively removed the disclosure requirement. The rule did not protect naive investors from themselves, it

The crowdfunding rules require plenty of disclosure and background. Just not the expensive disclosure required of a company when it goes public, which is what you're talking about.

by clavalle 12y ago
I think anyone interested would already know all of that. Without the SEC rules crowdfunding is in stasis. With rules things can move forward. I don't think anyone thinks the SEC is affecting the existence of crowdfunding beyond that

Spoken like a true engineer. But that analysis only holds for a nearly saturated market where everyone has all of the information they need to make a decent decision (think Coke and Pepsi). For almost everything else marketing is just a typ

Perhaps that definition of job is too narrow. While there hasn't always been currency trading hands for goods and services on a regular schedule there have always been people creating value for themselves, their family, their community

And that is when group moderation 'works'. It is not clear that it would in YikYak's case. For both Reddit and HN, people have a bit more stake in their identities than yakkers.

Yik Yak is going to have to fundamentally change to have a future. It is the most useless app I've downloaded on my phone. Every time I've ever tried to use it I felt like I had completely wasted my time. There are a lot of users

"Unwanted complements"? C'mon. That is not a compliment. 'Nice hat' is a complement. "I'm having a hard time not grabbing your ass" is not a complement. In the best light it is a clumsy pass at he

Yeah, if either of those were the case, we'd never hear about it, would we? She felt sufficiently disturbed to call him out. I take a pretty skeptical 'two sides to every story' stance on many of these kinds of reports but I

The story she relates doesn't strike me as stretching for a harassment definition. If true, and I have absolutely no reason to doubt it, it is pretty clear that this Director is nowhere near any kind of fuzzy line of harassment. This

I think this essay is top heavy: the conclusions can't hold given the assumptions. Take the first argument: for transactions to remain cheap one of three things has to happen, then those three things are painted as almost impossible.

I don't have time to fully inform myself of every issue that the government must deal with. Like hiring management we put someone in place that we trust to handle the minutiae and if they screw up we replace them with someone else. Tha

The commitment level is low. People put their name on a list as opposed to shelling out hundreds or thousands of dollars for a traditional class. The reward level is also low. You might get a certificate but nothing like credits that can

That article is very negative on the whole idea and is short on facts of the experiment and long on conclusions. One point it made that had me thinking was that it would be impossible to cover enough of the population because the poverty li
