I think the problem is much deeper, and has very little to do with attempts to foster tech success. Europe as a whole is broken: depressed, angry and locked-up, largely as a result of the colossal fuck-up that was World War 2. They think th

Some of this seems like conflating unrelated issues. For example, the issue of brown tree snakes and other extremely successful "invasive" traveller species. Well, obviously that snake is very well-adapted for the environment of G

Maybe someone could do a startup to teach the Swiss how to paragraph break...

So what, they just say, oh well, nothing to do with me? Great, how noble.

It's just pathetic how dumb they are.

Anyone who's owned a Windows Phone already knows this. Search for anything. Doesn't matter what it is. No matter what you search for, you'll get pages of results - of the worst apps you have ever seen. Absolute trash. It&#x27

The words themselves (exceptional,influential) do not have comparative/superlative forms. Sure they do. More exceptional. Most influential. What's not to love?

I see what you're saying, and it's very reasonable - I'm not a San Franciscan so I can't comment on the tech community's engagement (or lack thereof) with SF's older cultures - including the homeless/stree

Come on, almost all those novels are less than a hundred years old, and have only really been of influence to a small underworld of people - an underworld which is only now just starting to make a real impact on the world. Maybe in a thousa

Cool, I'm going to aim for $100 trillion then.

Think of an economic niche that no one else has thought of before. Capitalise upon it silently. Don't tell strangers on the internet how to make $100,000 a year with it.

You're a free economic actor and you get to decide for what price you want to offer your goods and services. So are the people who own the particular good in question - property. And so are the people who are also free to desire this g

people who've seen the place they lived their whole life slowly push them out, even though they're still needed there. But they're clearly not still needed there - otherwise demand for their services would be high enough

Christ, it's painful to read about these people with such stupid, lazy attitudes and opinions - yet somehow still able to muster the energy to go out and throw a huge tantrum and make a huge mess for other people. Instead of thinking c

Nice. But if you think it's so worthwhile to help homeless people, why don't you help them full-time, instead of just dabbling? And if you're going to help them, are goodie bags really the best way, or can you think of more p

Seems like bullshit. Australia has ludicrous regulations on competition, including a massive minimum wage, with all sorts of knock-on distortionary problems, yet it makes the top five.

Rubbish. It's nobody's responsibility to pay low-skilled humans higher than market rates in an over-saturated market. As long as labour transactions occur are transparent, free and mutually consenting, why is it your right to forc

Your English is exceptional, but I just wanted to point out (and I'm only being this picky because your English is so good) that the word you wanted was systematic, not systemic. Similar sounding but quite different meanings!

I think people should wait at least five years before bothering to analyse Tim Cook's tenure over Apple, because at this point, it's just stupid to even try.

I always enjoyed it, but I never found I could deliver on the promise of my insights. They always seemed to lead to the need for some massive project, and I just don't have the time for a new grand project every week. The comedown woul

I've never played Star Command but I can say that FTL is superb. There's something about it that is incredibly satisfying, it's very challenging but always in a good way (getting your ass kicked just makes you want to hit bac

I would probably say either: 2) with a slightly darker clip-bar or 3) with the squared-off corners of 4)

The second. The first is too undetailed and vague, and the last two are too heavy and overdetailed for iOS7. The second conveys the sense of a clipboard but is light and balanced.

Interesting but I would like to know more about what actually may come of this.
