I just went through the first 3 videos on VC but I found it curious that there was no mention of participation rights (1x, 1.5x etc.) and their effect on the outcome for founders. It is such an important concept that leaving it out of the v

Man, I am so proud to be a Montrealer right now. This is an amazing example of the Creativity + Talent + Technology = Innovation that exemplifies this city. Vive le Montréal! Oh and kudos to Thiago Costa. This is just awesome!

It doesn't exactly take a Nobel Prize in Economics to figure out deflation is in the forecast - only access to good data. Since the Federal Reserve stopped reporting M3 Money Supply several years ago, it is a bit harder to come by this data

If you are looking for the ability to quickly and easily run python cron jobs, a few databases, and various other web-based applications then might I suggest that a full blown VPS might be overkill? My favorite web host for all things Pytho

As an alternative to moving to a low-cost rural location, have you considered moving to a lower-cost, creative cultural city? I'm thinking specifically of Montreal, QC. There is an incredible creative scene in the city covering, music, the

Wow, check out Household debt. I'm not surprised to see Brittain, the United States and Canada top the list, but can anyone tell me what is going on with Switzerland? I always thought the Swiss to be a wealthy, financially conservative lot.
