Countries like Sweden (or maybe it's the only one) also adjusts the fine for speeding according to one's income. If you make a lot, $250 fine isn't going to deter you from speeding. But $200K might (there's probably an u

"If you take a 3500 $ Swedish salary with all the taxes applied, your life level might be equivalent as a 7000 $ salary in US." Completely agree. I live and work in Manhattan. I love the city (!) But between Federal taxes, state t

Agreed on all the of above. However, when the going rate for daycare in NYC is $3K/month per child, you need to make an extra $50K/year (pre-tax) to just cover that (if you were to maintain your pre-kids lifestyle). Then there are

I'm not sure whether it's a practice everywhere, but many shops in NYC also indicate the "per unit" price: per gallon/oz/pieces etc. I use it all the time, and I wish it was mandatory by law for all products.

I wish there was a way to run the embedded javascript when the image is loaded. I have a legitimate use case for it (imagine you send an image URL as a JSON response and wanted to track it was loaded, or send other params back to the servic

@doppenhe - any hunch as to how well it would work on transcripts?

I think s/he meant: where did you get the transcripts? How did you get the timing info for the vid/audio clips, etc. Great implementation!

I think it's more typical to issue, for example, 10M shares, take 3M for yourself, and leave the rest for employees/VCs/whatever (rather than issue new ones, in a first round)

I'm not sure I understand the question. What do you mean by "you have money in your personal bank account?" Are you saying that some of the money put in by a VC ends up in your personal bank account? If it does, it's thr

good point. The only issue with Amazon that I found was that the first sample chapter might be 5 pages long, so you don't really get a flavor of the book. I might be wrong though (maybe they now do it by total length rather than chapte
