why is the headline "china builds"? would they say "america builds" or "italy builds" or rather just credit the people and organizations responsible (even if government was involved)? it reads like pre-war propaganda and seems to have that

if you want to get your head around infinity note that one of the greatest novelists of our time, david foster wallace, wrote a great book about it and cantor: "everything and more". on a more sensational note, also note that wallace and ca

yes most of these actions are the work of a lone nut but the problem is the increasing impact that nut has thanks to evolving technology. the ability to cause mass destruction is following a law similar to mr. moore's (albeit we are on the

yes but is it worth the illegibility and extra step of shortening? how many of those sms recipients make use of the link by retying it in a browser? if there is much of a use case why not have special handling for it?

more useful and unique (?) would be the ability to receive snail mails and truly interface with the snail world. requires a lot more (like a mechanical turkish army in different postal jurisdictions) but worth a lot more.

no contest it's the startup. i've done both and note that the most useful experience from my dartmouth mba was when tom peters spoke. his message: start a business now.

certainly longer is better but every trip offers a chance to learn something - and not the trivia that can be found in brochures. traveling supplies a nearly complete change of context for your brain and if it is turned on change will certa

its pretty simple, corporate ownership/government fiat isn't the only way to protect investors that aren't willing to assume risk. you've done a good job of deconstructing most of this now just look at the pieces and see they are separate.

fair enough q but the legal structure of organizing people is a reactionary force and well behind the changes taking place in society (for instance web businesses with distributed operations still need a shopkeepers style business permit in

a corporation is so much more than a legal tool because of the effects that emerge from it. a simple example is your number 3 - a description of the conflict of interest inherent in corporate structure (and the source of much controversy la

your dream is a good one. believe it or not your best route to a sustainable version of this is a startup. why? - you need to love something in order to be dedicated to it wherever and whenever (its mostly about time zones). - you want some
