Yes, it is. I have a contact that does consulting for one of the big accounting firms. SR&ED credits are their bread and butter. A large part of his job is to figure out how to get more companies to qualify as doing R&D. Doing R&amp

Just curious, where in Europe do you live? Clearly, not the UK. The salaries there seem ridiculously low.

For the time being Canada has a real advantage in attracting labor. It won't last forever though. The real problem facing Canada is a lack of coherent, fact-based innovation policy. We have an innovation tax credit that is proven to be

Anti-trust laws are about leveraging your monopoly in one area of the economy in order to gain an advantage in another. There is nothing wrong with having a monopoly per se as long as it was gained and maintained fairly.

I live in Canada in a mid-sized city and my library is closed on Sundays. Just as a poster above, it appears to be the case that the librarians negotiated a great deal for themselves. (Closed on Sundays during the summer, open on Sundays du

German corporations do quite well with workers represented on the boards by law. There are lots of ways to organize a capitalist system.

Agreed. The big problem in academia is that when you don't trust academics you need administration to provide oversight. Administration is now a huge portion of the cost of university education. Not research, admin. To be fair, academi

Thanks for the response and example. Yes, actually re-reading OP and your comments made me realize that I actually agree with the parent post. Don't know what I was thinking at the time I originally read it.

I totally agree. Just a couple of months ago I had to dump them. Support was awful. This was my experience: When I purchased my SpiderOak account everything seemed to be going well. The service is twice as expensive as BackBlaze and CrashPl

I appreciate your answer on this. No offense, but I don't believe you. Would you mind supplying more information beyond simply a statement? Do you have expertise in this area? (Are you a lawyer?) I know this is a big ask because we are

I see your point and often share your frustration. However, none of what you said necessitates electronic voting. In fact, it may be detrimental to the democratic process at the local level. A couple thoughts: (i) First, taking time to do s

BUG: I can't read the terms of service or the privacy policy unless I log in. :-) Update: I can cut and paste the policy and TOS urls and they work in a different browser window. For some reason, when I am at the registration page for

I what is missing from the article is an understanding of the incentives of academics. Quite often putting a piece of research "to bed" is the goal. Why? Because any good academic has a long list of things they want to get to. Ver

On a recent trip to the US from the UK my wife and I each used a BlackBerry Playbook with the built-in video chat. It was perfect -- no discernible lag and I was able to talk with the kids with great video and sound quality. So, perhaps Sky

I think it's just the design. Where the cables exit the brick they are prone to strain -- the connection wire comes straight out. When you put the connector away, no matter how you do this, there will be some strain on the cable at thi

I'm sometimes surprised at comments like this that fail to appreciate that people can (and should!) have an opinion on things. People can be "judgmental" -- it's called having an opinion and it is not a bad thing. Requiring everyone to wate
