WCITLeaks.org cofounder here. You're right that the language sounds more benign than they way it is described, but remember that this is diplo-speak and it is occurring in a pre-existing context. The Chinese proposal is actually pretty sw

ICANN and DNS will be dealt with at conferences in 2013 and 2014. WCIT is mostly about charging for international Internet traffic termination, making the ITU-T's recommendations( which compete with the IETF's and others') mandatory, and ge

I got one. I think that everyone that applied using the prompt on the dev channel build of Chrome got one. Can anyone refute this?

No, ING doesn't offer checkable mutual funds, as far as I can tell.

The fee is too high, the investment choices too few (I don't want to be exposed to Treasuries right now, thanks), and it's still separate from my checking account. Fix those things and I'm there. In principle, I am a huge fan of mutual fund

Let's say that life expectancy is now increasing at a rate of 2 years per decade. If you want to live to 1000, you just need to increase that to 10 years per decade. You don't have to go from 78 to 1000 all at once.

We could do those things, but we could also just let people in if they want to come to the US to improve their lives. I totally agree that the guy is insane.

If that's really your concern, then why not at least let college graduates opt out? Or people holding PhDs? My suspicion is that many people would oppose this because it disadvantages the uneducated, but of course you can't have it both way

My view is that people should be allowed to opt out of FDA regulation if they wish to do so. It's my body; I should be allowed to put anything I want into it. It took 10 years for the first beta blockers to be approved in the US after they

Understood, but I don't think people need infinite customizability. They need roughly Wordpress-level customizability, security, and relatively cheap hosting. Can no one really supply this?

llimllib, thanks for the reply. I can think of a number of reasons that you might want to have dynamic elements in your theme. I understand the concern over themes running code, but if you want things like breadcrumbs and your CMS doesn't

As I understand it, with Tumblr you can't customize your URL structure, you need to use external commenting systems, and your themes can't run non-js code. Also, many people use Wordpress as a hybrid CMS/blog; the ability to have pages (aga

Entrepreneurs take note. This is a problem that is not being solved. There are lots of smallish bloggers out there who want more customization than Blogger/Wordpress.com/Tumblr/Posterous allow, whose best option is Wordpress and shared host

I'm sorry you feel insulted; that was not my intention. I meant to categorize you according to Postrel's framework. Nevertheless, I think your point is wrong and you should read the book for a clear explanation of exactly why.

This article reminds me of Virginia Postrel's book The Future and its Enemies . This guy is one of its enemies.

Broad index funds are great, but the big problem with them is that all your eggs are still in the "USA basket". Consider adding some foreign or emerging market funds, but also realize that it is impossible to diversify perfectly.
