Oh, stupid me, didn't take into that into the calculation. The things is that I wrote a school paper years ago on the UAE and back then it wasn't exactly a hidden fact that many workers on the massive construction projects were treated badl

I don't mean to condone the modern slavery in Dubai in any way, but isn't it telling about the conditions in Bangladesh and the Philippines that people volontary leave them to go to the UAE and be treated like dirt.

I would too be very happy to hear a little about the indian dating game, particularly how it works in the bigger metropolises. I've spent a bit of time in Kochi, Kerela, in the southwest, and while I spent most of my time working on our bus

I think this is closely related to ones identity and many people bring some artifact very close to their hart just to be get a feeling of belonging. To talk a little about myself, I'm a die hard libertarian, and I've spent countless hours b

Did you create this account just to comment on this thread? Considering the biased tone of your post, this sounds a bit too good to be true. If you're not connected to the OP in any way and just liked his site, I apologise!

"Silicon valley's successes tend to never start companies again" Really? I thought the opposite was quite true. Marc Andressen, Steve Jobs, Jim Clark etc.

I'd wait for that updated CSS version. The one they showcase on the site looks like Nigerian Spam to me. Not a good way to promote FFX or Chrome.

To expand on PGs comment a little bit. I used to have serious problems with onset insomnia, almost to the point of making me sick. While trying to find a solution, I found that having a few quiet, "boring" hours before I go to bed helps me

I'm afraid that you're correct, but I think there is also a "darker" side to it. As the OP mentions, parents involving their kids in CP crosses class barriers and happens in both poor and rich families. A few weeks ago, I took a primal ther

Yeah, those vids are so funny. I'm taking statistics class right now and I really wish I was 1% as excited as he is about the subject. I can really see how statistics are an awesome way to visualise important stuff to people, but when I'm s

I think what would make Facebook kick ass is if they could find a way to keep you updated on what happens in groups where there is conversation you actually want to participate in, without blurring your inbox with crap.

Don't really like the fact that I have to click on the arrows on the menu bar to get the options, would be more intuitive with display on hoovering. Otherwise a neat page, great job on the design.

Sorry man, it wasn't my intention to ridicule a valid concern about people who get stressed out beyond imagination. I think there is reason for entrepreneurial people to be more open about the negative effects of the emotional roller coaste

Wow, sounds like a scary horror movie. "Is your family protected? Maybe someone close to you is an entrepreneur ready to burst. Concerned parents should avoid letting kids play in the vicinity of start-ups and other gang related entrepreneu

Perhaps it just me who's a food nerd, but from the title I thought the article would be about substituting cheap unhealthy fat, like fries, for expensive stuff such as avacados. Which, incidentally, is great way to live healthier.

From the comments: "SaaS = Software as a Service. It's a subscription model. In a way it's like going to the gym, instead of buying the equipment" I never seen that analogy before, kind of says it all I'd say. It's good cause Saas is tricky

Interesting stuff. Though I'm not sure that what they're describing is a business model. Sounds more like a "Terms of Employment" agreement.

Most Germans I've met have been quite relaxed about that and even joked about it themselves. I guess one should be careful on internet forums though.

The Senator may not realise it, but much of the productivity growth in the US has come from technological breakthroughs of first or second generation immigrants. Short-sighted populism is what I would call this.

Mr O'Leary is an interesting case when it comes to finding what you love. I would argue, from what I've seen his company do, and from interviews with him that what he <i>loves</i> is to be the maverick. -To play with the EU

Wow, then I can understand Americans are keen on getting rid of SMS. Imagine being charged for every email you receive. That would screw up by budget at least.

Haha, I just had a look the original post you were referring to and this conversation struck me as particularly funny: unalone: Them, and AVC, and HugotheMongoose, and KimStarr, and Huxley78. It's baffling. I've never seen something like th

I'm not sure what's with the people in here. Here comes a few guys, and invites you to try on a really smooth service for free (just tried it on my Mac, browsing the pictures with Cover-Flow; really slick) and all I hear is people complain

Great idea Seth, there's a lot of really driven, sometimes older people that contribute heaps to society that would be able to leverage their effort with a little help from someone with tech skillz. But let us not forget that many people in
