There is the good part of US government staffed by great people. One example is the State Department. I imagine they are furious over this. Then there is the shadow, rogue part which is the intelligence community, full of people with parano

People never care until they are hungry. Empty stomaches spark revolutions. Vast majority of Americans still have jobs.

They do a lot more stuff to improve America's "image" that costs a lot more. At my graduate school there were students from a central Asian country (a moderately wealthy and advanced one, too). They got full tuition to get a

In the past year I've lived and worked on 3 continents, done a long road trip, now settled in a new city and established a home there, had a few different jobs, met many new people and had a window into some very different worlds. This

You have to understand that people are tuning into CNN all day because they want entertainment and company. People sitting at home during the day with nothing else to do but watch cable news aren't looking for hard-hitting analysis and

Are there any private all-boys[1] schools that embrace this side of childhood? Look at tiger cubs and what not: they play, they bounce around, they fight, they figure out the world around them through investigation and exploration. I spent

You aren't going to pull down 7 figures on a one-man AC repair business. In that type of business, you are just renting out your time, and nobody is paying $1,000/hr for an AC repairman's time. You can scale it, definitely, a

Well that's obviously not sustainable and part of the reason they can't get full time jobs in the first place.

Don't worry, it appears this was just a topic made-up as an excuse to namedrop and self-promote. The US is a massive country of early adopters in a single, standardized market with the same language, same culture, same media [for publi

But if you're not European you're not going to get health coverage in Europe. To be honest, health coverage isn't a major concern for 20-something hackers who sit in front of computers all day. I'd also spend a good bit

Ecuadorian expats working professional jobs abroad, or emigrants who left the country for greener pastures long ago, aren't really who matter here. Like I said it's the merchants and workers who rely on these export dollars who wi

Right, screw over thousands of merchants and workers in your country so a few at the top can make names for themselves as "rebels" ... does that sound like leftism or being "for the people?" What exactly does giving up a

"Finance" in the US pays well because it's on a national scale. Wall Street holds the money of the whole country, and some of the rest of the world's. So, like anything else that has a national market, people at the top

So, Django or Rails for someone who wants what you're recommending this for (beginners with light coding background looking to build an app quickly)? Is there something like that SaaSTemplate for Django?

And we can't dismiss the majority's viewpoint as "apathy" just because we don't agree with it or find it appalling. It's not constructive to do so. We're better off having a discussion of why people think

Came here to ask the same. Django is really missing a Hartl style tutorial. The Django tutorial is nice but need something with a bit more handholding for beginners.

I don't need a lot. I'm talking $50-$100k here, not millions in VC. I am pretty resourceful. Only one idea is solely web-based and could be bootstrapped. The others are B&M and require signing retail leases and building out st

It sounds like it's just going to be a database of boilerplate / sample / template legal docs that people can contribute to. I guess their point is that small firms can pool their resources, just like a big firm is just a gro

The video demo makes it seem like you can effectively "auction off" clients to lawyers primarily on the basis of who offers a higher referral fee. You are going to clash with the professional rules. * >New York rules do not p

It's just a natural progression. I'm sure if you go just a bit further up the coast and away from "the money" of Los Angeles you will find laid back coastal communities.

I don't understand your point. The US is arguing that treaties that have been agreed to between HK and US should be honored because they are "the law" between those two countries. The US has not signed the ICC treaty, as you

This is great. One day I was exploring Malibu and found one of these small narrow entranceways. They had a "guard" (guy in a yellow t-shirt) sitting on a foldable chair telling people it was a private beach. Pay these people no re
