Like you, I am a co-owner of a bootstrapped, profitable, conservatively managed technology company. I am happy to have built what I have. But I can't find a whit of pleasure at the prospect of a disastrous reversal in private technolog

The funny (or unfortunate, if you're FB) component is that if the FB form response in favor of Free Basics had been written more elegantly, TRAI might have considered it to be responsive. The TRAI invitation to comment was winsomely wr

These problems suggest more to me about the immaturity of Tesla's Inventory Car channel than about its customer support in general. There may be one person spending 20% of his time on the loaner car sales channel at Tesla.

Back when I was negotiating my first car purchase -- and had a fair amount of savings to play with -- I telephoned my father to talk through the buy/lease model I had constructed in Excel. My dad, highly numerate, a car enthusiast, and

Doesn't "blocking proxies" require Netflix to keep tabs on mercurial exit IP ranges for an ever-growing number of proxy or VPN services? It seems almost inevitable that they will enforce this rule only lazily.

Hometown friend of Alfred here. He's been producing astounding mélanges of art and logic since the age of 13. This is another great one.

As a policy proposal, it is packaged with eliminating highly moderated welfare systems. That is, welfare systems that allow gov't policy to exert a lot of control over vendors, how/when/where aid is administered, and so forth

Milton Friedman was a longtime advocate of a basic income, which in his precise parlance was called a Negative Income Tax. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtpgkX588nM ) Leftist politicians have blocked this at several point

"Insanity?" That's an ideological statement, but it doesn't really hold up to the facts, I think. It has always struck me that the gravamen of the Open Source movement has been to accelerate the improvement of important

This. A smart buyer can leverage up $1m at 3.7% interest, 0.7% real interest after accounting for inflation, even less accounting for the tax efficiency. Cheap money to be able to realize the appreciation of an asset that you simultaneously

So Fido wasn't great at investing in emergent technology. It paid too much and chased what it saw as 'performance,' applying a Wall Street paradigm to something entirely different. I don't think this result is a surprise

I understand folks getting upset because of either ~$800m worth of DoD incompetence or ~$800m of intelligence 'black budget' funds diversion. But folks should not forget that the entire DoD spend in the 2015 federal budget was a m

Are you writing about Napster or Ad Blockers? (Seriously; can you articulate a principled differentiation on which your argument legitimates ad blockers but properly censures Napster?)

I am always surprised that ad block users do not also refuse to use smartphones. If you ask me, I'd rather Amazon retarget a bag of chips at me via a 300x250 display ad than Verizon sell my location breadcrumbs to some unknown entity.

I'm not sure I see the 'tone-deaf' piece. The argument of the ads seems to be: 'taxes' are exacted from people and companies to pay for necessary public services. Using a tax as a weapon is not just. Taxes paid by A
