As people require a license and training to drive a car, I feel that people should require training (free of course) to use a computer. The whole problem with computers is that they are tools for consumption AND creation. While these new ta

I hate his pretentious tone. The Uber drivers do what they do not because they are more respectful, but because you are paying out of our ass for it. You really think they like pulling around people if they could do something else?

I find it funny that the underlying assumption in all the arguments against the 60% exit rate is that VC funding is the only way technology is funded. Maybe the French as a society should figure out how to fund technology in a different way

Notice many people working at tech startup in silicon valley are either A) Rich already and went to Ivy League or could afford a good university education, or 2) Foreigners who got their education elsewhere.

Thank you sir. I was worried nobody would mention DCI. I believe DCI is a far better solution to the MVC problem of dealing with 'algorithms' than MOVE. MOVE almost seems to be MVC plus goto.
