It's been one generation since the Once-child policy was introduced. I believe that in another generation, China's example will be seen as a smart and forward-thinking idea. It'll be pretty easy to test whether I'm right or wrong. To the

Look at that subtle off-white colouring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark.

They do exactly this. There are several layers of checks because getting it wrong is kind of a deal-breaker. A lot of things happen after confirming someone is really truly dead, and many of those things can't be easily undone :) (Full dis

True, email polling to determine live-or-dead status is pretty dumb :) A company exists that offers after-death services using a multiple-redundancy scheme like the one described: https://www.mywonderfullife.com They call the trustworthy

I see the same false claim in a lot of comments - "That guy said the internet would suck, therefore he sucks". That's not what Stoll said and wrote. His articles and books (there are several books, all good reading) were written in response

I run http://www.colr.org , which is powered by web.py. It has survived several digg / lifehacker / other high-traffic incidents. If you are running web.py as a fcgi process, you'll handle a digg effect just fine. If not, you'll peg the s

Thanks for the feedback! The home page slowness is fixed. You're right about the lack of intelligent marketing on the homepage. Frankly, this was a problem with the earlier startup as well.
