You have a beautifully structured online book. Thanks for making it. Using git to be able to easily compare v2.3.5 code samples to 3.0 could be an amazing resource.

Your view on using excess males for war has some historical support. However, I do not feel most of China's leaders hold this view. China is working very hard at modernization. There are more than enough work projects to keep the excess

The policies are uneven (at least unevenly enforced) throughout China. Currently: * Peasants (a crude/outdated name, but its the one commonly used) have little to no government punishment for having more than one child. Most don't because

The ordering of health/family/God is certainly debatable. This was his ordering and I don't always do it that way, but the point that your work can't be sustainable or offer your life much value without the right priorities is the key. I'

Was a judgement/ruling issued in this case? If so, it makes it relatively easy for another to replicate the situation. Its one thing our legal system is actually quite good at.

You don't want any carrier to have this option if they are the only reasonable choice of carrier in your area. I'd rather live with the bad behavior if it ensures a carrier doesn't get to play judge and jury.

How does this effect Verizon's position as a neutral carrier? I was under the impression you couldn't take a position like this without giving up safe harbor. If my interpretation was correct that means any forum that moderates can't clai

Congratulations on your 26 years together. Cross-cultural marriages can be challenging but rewarding. I've been with my Chinese wife for only 8 years and we have only one son thus far. Whether in Shanghai or small town Georgia, he usuall

I appreciate a wide range of topics on HN so long as the discourse is civil. I'm 40.

Absolutely!! The answer is always yes, sometimes qualified. The only no is when you decide you don't want them as a client and you find a reason to not do further work.

Here's a few articles pointing to the number. I assume that an individual buyer faces a higher rate of recission than those in a large group. http://tauntermedia.com/2009/07/28/unconscionable-math/ http://www.walletpop.com/blog/2009/09

Here's what I did: Write your exclusions in the NDA or contract agreement. Be clear about what your doing with them. If your not a real competitor to them, they should go along with it. Negotiate this with the person needing your work, n

Is braintree willing to negotiate on these costs?

The root cause is that only your employer can afford to buy you coverage and also has less risk of getting dropped if they provide coverage for enough people. As an individual, the coverage costs more and your chances of getting dropped is

I am assuming that any company or individual covered is covered as a group of everyone the insurer covers. I see no reason for one gov entity to cover everyone. 50 to 100 non-profit co-ops would do the job: enough in each group and enough

I would adjust the question. Free healthcare can't exist. It costs something, either through taxes or your premium for insurance. A more appropriate question would be: "If health insurance were more affordable and you were not in danger o

Google is getting so incredibly fast. As I'm reading this, your post is 16 minutes old. I copy/pasted your calculation into google search just to see how well the google calculator would interpret it. Your post here shows up as the first

There is no one-size fits all formula for this. Its what I did in the past and it had consequences I didn't dream of when I issued the shares. Here's a story of that company which shows how you can be wrong about the payroll comes first a

That company ran for 8 years. We had great revenues and shared the wealth relative to ownership, but there ended up not being an acquisition. During the high times and opportunities of acquisition, I never thought "I wish I had given up o

I treat a first employee as a co-founder just with fewer shares. Its says "we're in this together" more than words can say. I have given them rights to review our financials (noone ever did, but perhaps my openness with our revenues made

With similar funding, I've given 5% reverse vested shares to a tech employee. It created vast incentive, and if he stays with the company for 3 to 4 years, he certainly earn the 5%. I also gave 7% to a key tech employee before...no regret

This is the problem area that bugs me about the founder visa concept. The concept is great. Embodying it into law requires it go through the sausage factory. I jokingly told a doctor last week I could write health care reform in 5 pages.

I'm highly skeptical of the current program to subsidize purchasing EHR systems. I only see it leading to multiple vendors providing proprietary systems and frankly all the systems we've evaluated don't wow the doctors into finally believi

great summary. I've noticed the VA system is quite good as well and have been trying to see why other institutions don't use it. I assume the taxpayer already paid to create it, so why not open source the product and let people integrate?
