Mark Shuttleworth may have good intentions at the basis, but he may also be overly ambitious. From there he may indeed be misguided in his daring and rather rash decisions. Mark may also be incapable of assessing first-hand what it all mean

The monthly-salary system is not necessarily suitable for all programming jobs. I think it is rather an exception that the monthly-salary system correctly matches the dynamics of the situation, such as for hotel receptionists or security gu

Good academic training/education used to be inaccessible to the poor. This is no longer true. The internet is busy changing all of that. Home schooling at any level has now become feasible. The difference that remains, however, is the diffe

"Wouldn't it make more sense to just fund education to the levels we had back when it was working?" Short answer: NO.

In any modern economy, you can redefine a business plan that requires capital into one that does not. The problem is rather what will you live off while the business is still taking off? That is where you may need savings. But then again, i

Well, as soon as the first commandment goes down the drain, all other commandments are quick to follow: "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour." Exodus 20:12. It is the general public who is to blame, because they are not

Remote workers tend to be freelancers/self-employed. There may be no compensation package at all ;-)

Exactly. There is not one interesting piece of software nowadays that is not done remotely. Everything else is going bankrupt because they simply cannot compete. Just for cost/quality reasons, remote will have to become the norm.

It is probably exactly the other way around. All big ideas were born NOT sitting together. If Linus were sitting in a traditional office, the linux kernel would no longer exist by now.

Not really. I like them the way they are. You end up paying the lowest common denominator, which is usually zero dollars.

Nothing beats moving to a low-admin country, though. Since you're working remotely anyway, you could as well do that from Ecuador or so. The lower/non-existing tax bill will easily pay for any flights back home. Enjoy the beach!

Every surprisingly insightful decision will be met with derision before you execute it. That is where courage, stubbornness and willpower come into play. Success is always based on ignoring 99% of the opinions around you. If not enough peop

It seems to be culturally dependent too and related to education as well. There seems to be less of an epidemic in the part of Asia where I live.

I wonder why Antigua picked that particular industry, actually? There is simply no god-given right to profit from organized gambling. Why don't they organize an alternative banking system instead? That should be much more profitable, and no

Since the politicians and their servants invented these new regulations to please their friends and intend to enforce it at gunpoint, my question is now: what respect-instilling reprisals should be inflicted -- thoroughly -- to discourage t

In all practical terms, the Ecuadorian authorities expect their embassy to be inviolable. It is this expectation and their insistence on this expectation that complicates this matter to no end. It is simply not in British interests to be

What an excessively bad idea as well as a diplomatic gaffe! I am pretty surprised that Her Majesty's government has not been able to negotiate a deal that is acceptable to both Assange and the Ecuador final authority on their involvement in

They pushed Aaron Swartz to suicide because they did not fear what would happen next. They are right. There is nothing to fear. Ultimately, respect will always remain based on the fear for reprisals. Where is the respect?

In my opinion, the article does not address what I experience as the real problem in the field of education: total lack of freedom to choose. After confiscating ("appropriating") the budget from the pockets of the parents, the politicians a
