As far as I know there is no "favoritism" for goverment grants . Like any fundraising, there are those are better / more experienced with it and those who aren't. But the real problem is that the government officials are not investors. Stev

I've been around the scene about 5 years (one of the founders of ArcticStartup which was mentioned in the article). I think the Economist is pretty accurate on the fact that there is lot of bubbling but takes time and experience to actually

Seems the last 5 episodes have been all featuring women and some men.

I guess most of the time the program features women, but now the editor wanted men for this. Sometimes media want to interview women, sometimes men, sometimes both. I co-founded a program/organization to help women to get in to tech (which

I don't understand how college helps "low information voters". I would guess those people don't go to college or can't afford it anyway. If you want to help educate people, make it free or almost free, like Khan or startups in the Valley ar

Web animations can be used for other purposes than just storytelling. They can be part of the interface, an app or an interactive tutorial.

Finland had to ally in the Continuation War with German since Soviet Union was a bigger threat and obviously Allied forces / UN were not there to help. Although in the end, German wasn't that much help either. However Finland didn't partici

I guess it's because it's talking about "Europe", and focusing on the very Western Europe. For entrepreneurs or startups, I would consider Berlin, Nordics or London, based on how internationally accessible they are and for their startup sce

Probably you would still need to start a German subsidiary if you want to lease, hire or otherwise act as a company in German.

There was a TED talk[1] product design, or designing for manufacturing and distribution. I think the points were that: 1) These concept designs don't work that well in real conditions, are hard to manufacture or don't have a support network

You can maybe lure people in with nice marketing, packaging or a fun interface, but in the end you want users who stick around. If you think about apps the most every day, they're quite plain or unfun. They're maybe pleasant, probably effec

That's a key that when start paying even a little attention and collecting things you feel are good, you start to also see things that are not that good.

Yeah that's a good point. Specially if you're a builder, you tend jump on building things as soon as something excites you. Sometimes it works, but sometimes the ideas might exciting but not that meaningful.

I think the OP means that it's not something non-developers want/care. Even if twitter went mainstream with 3rd developers, it was still apparently something people wanted. PG also advices is that you should make things people want, people

The point I was trying to make was that tagging is broken but tags are not dead. They just need to have a purpose. Making the user to catalog the content instead using search is not a valid purpose. In many apps, the tags just seems to add
