Does it have to be a startup right away? Can't you take a timeout and use the time to build something and see if there's traction? Maybe turn it into a passive income source at first? Or a lifestyle job? If it doesn't work ou

What I meant is it would be impractical to pick one special topic of CS to study just because it happens to be a mode of the day. It's like deciding to study number theory ("because, you know, cryptography!") in isolation ins

Ask yourself why. You want to do CS, prove theorems, do theoretical research? Then, by all means, go for it! It's hip and you use a functional language to write software? Well... It's probably just a whim. But sure, give it a try.

So your point is that Putin only represses the oligarchs that dared to "bite the hand that fed"? OK, Khodorkovsky has spent 10 years in prison, been stripped of his billions and forced to leave the country upon release. But Navaln

"Anti-Putin circles" is rather vague. It covers anything from the extreme right to the extreme left. If a "circle" is xenophobic then, surely, most of the centrist/liberal opposition are US sock-puppets to them, sim

Their cheapest Atom seems to be $7? It also looks like the cheapest one they have in their Canadian data center is a $21 Core i3 (which is still a very good deal, with 2 cores/8 GB RAM/1 TB HDD/unlimited traffic).

I'm afraid we are drifting backwards: a new cold war is looming and, if we are unlucky, it can turn into a hot one, and it's suddenly going to become quite important what citizenship you have (and where you live).

Very nice list. I would also add the ability to associate breakpoints with DOM elements. As in "break on any attempt to read/modify a given element". That would be extremely helpful in debugging the hodge-podge of Javascript

That's a good question. Back in the old country, people don't drink as much soda but they have another "drinking" problem--beer and hard liquor. That's much worse than soda, but it's a real addiction (alcoholis

It's hard for me to understand the whole soda phenomenon in Canada and the US. Is it as addictive as cigarettes? Does it make you crave for more? Or it simply tastes so good that you can't get enough of it? Why not eat a bunch of
