Right. Bigots will have to stay in the closet now. Sounds terrible.

Wealth distribution follows a power law, so I'd expect the difference to be even more pronounced. The same with income as well.

This is a great explanation: http://daily.sightline.org/2013/08/22/apartment-blockers/ "The research hints at the rent increases caused by some of the “rent raisers” above: 6 percent higher rent per

You need a bit more to than simple disagreement when the initial statement is that a donation (of $1,000) and a vote are different.

Whoa - they just told you now? :O I'm sorry you've had to wait this long. This whole situation is insane. We could actually just let more people in; we need more for long-term demographic reasons and the current policy is just a x

Save for the fact that as an industry, the VCs are not even trying to be fair. Much as it sucks, asking the government for permission seems better than what that group would achieve.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to be more careful how I state things.

If a company as large as IBM systematically discriminates, I sure hope they end up in legal trouble.

FP says the "entrepreneur visa", IIRC it required putting up your own money: http://business.financialpost.com/2013/01/24/startup-visa-pr...

No one was proposing that in Canada either... :(

Down-voters: explain, please? You don't think the experience from this type of policy being tried somewhere else is relevant? That it won't backfire?

So you get a visa, with fewer rights? How long would that restriction on their freedom of movement last?

This is a terrible idea. VCs have proposed the same solution in Canada; the government canned the old investor visa and allowed founders to get a startup when they receive investment from some of our VCs. (There were many more investor visa

The critical thing that makes this affordable is only using light for 3 days. Growing full-sized veggies would probably be cost-prohibitive.

That is not at all what I've seen from various founders in my network. Those who fail spend far more time analyzing what happened.

Besides choult's point, users can often be de-anonymized based on just a few ratings. Someone did this by cross-referencing dates in the Netflix data set and those available on one of the bigger sites. Suddenly the fact that you were w

Same with startups: we don't analyze successes as much as we scrutinize failures.

"Bayes’ theorem– a sophisticated and complex tool for analyzing probability" Uh... really?

I'd certainly pay $2 a month to get art instead of ads. Kittens might be more popular though.

Senator Kennedy's woes have not resulted in the no-fly list being thrashed. Not sure we'd get a better outcome for financial transaction if something similar were to occur.

My guess: over-fitted. It will make money until it explodes.

Not said, but isn't that exactly what his cost cutting implies?

How confident are you that these will come to pass? How confident are you that half of your predictions come true?

Upvoting this, if only for the suggestion to "Don’t think at your desk", which is a strategy I hadn't heard before.

Neat. How long does it take to do a wash with that?

Almost 334 now; it was the first thing I checked after reading that story. A hostile take over might be cheaper than paying royalties.

There are two problems that need to be fixed. -Housing prices. Supporting affordable housing isn't the solution here; there needs to be more supply. Given all the money invested in tech, surely the bigger companies could invest in some

Just because his empathy requires effort does NOT mean it is poor. Your theory, by focusing on the situation rather than personality, at least avoids the fundamental attribution error. Your model however fails for outliers; not everyone can
