If it claims to be distributed and its not written in erlang, don't use it. Well, that's the filter I use when looking at anything. If its not written in erlang I spend a lot of time trying to figure out exactly how it isn't really actual

Wait, can't you fix the wiki? You're right that its an oversight, but one you can fix yourself.

Wait, Amazon takes %55 of the list price, and has control over the actual price its sold at. Meanwhile, Apple takes %30, and you have total control over pricing. Yet whenever the iBookstore comes up here, people go on and on about the "Appl

"Without those "activist judges" the Supreme Court would be toothless and the Constitution toilet paper." Without these violations of the constitution, it, rather than the supreme court, would be the highest law in the land ,and the constit

Actually it is perfectly logical. Since he focused his time on characterizing me, and never got around to actually making a point, he forces me to either guess his position, or not address it. The motive is obvious and thus the logic hold

This seems to be an ideological definition. I'm really curious where you obtained it. It is the perspective of leftists-- an ideological perspective-- that "fascism" is "right-wing". For instance, the Nationalist Socialist Workers Party,

"substituting a tired "U.S.->Nazi" cliché in place of whatever message you intended." He didn't make that claim. He made a specific claim. Rather than debate that claim, you're attacking the word he used. Have you got a better word?

Advances in technology drive down costs, not the reverse. They prevent diseases, reduce the need for more expensive procedures, etc. Credentialling of doctors as it currently stands is an artificial guild system which restricts the number

What I wonder is if, or when, ICANN will start taking the US government to court, preferably in countries outside the USA, for violating the laws of those countries. If ICANN does nothing, and nobody does anything to stop this, it will dest

Can you recommend a foreign registrar? I'm with a US Based one that started out great, but has been acquired twice now, by increasingly less relevant sounding businesses. I've been looking for a foreign based registrar, preferably in the E

It was a couple of years ago, and so my memory is off, and I can't seem to find the exact article I read. It appears there was a study done in 1992 which had similar results (I wouldn't be surprised at either possibility: I misremembered it

Sounds great. Were you happy enough whit them to recommend them? Are you located in Singapore our outside of it? (one of the issues is we're located outside of Singapore)

I think the issue is the requirement to have a registered director located in Singapore. Also, if you plan to apply for residency using the EntrePass it appears you need to have $50k SGD in "paid up capital", which is about $40,000 USD. I

Chile is pretty well ranked, coming in at #7 in the Heritage Foundation index, and #1 for Latin America.[1] We were accepted to Startup Chile, and will be flying to Chile next week. I can't report on the state of Chile now, but I did visit

Regarding insurance in the USA, I saw a paper by Milton Friedman in the 1970s who was evaluating the impact of government involvement in the healthcare industry. Prior to 1901, healthcare in the USA was completely private (charities are co

In the USA, your domain can be seized by the government at any time without any trial, and without any recourse. If you report abuse you received from a police officer, you risk being killed by that officer and it being made to look like y

I'm curious as one of the places Singapore highly ranked was the difficulty in starting a business. Yet it seems from the company formation services online, Singapore costs around $5,000 to open a business. (compared to $50 in Texas, for i

Bravo! Part of the reason HR is so broken is that few will speak up when exposed to this kind of crap. Thus the crap peddlers (I used to be one of the trick question kind, merely because I was emulating others) are left with the idea that

Interestingly that logo accurately represents the way "Windows" worked in Windows 1.0. It didn't have overlapping windows. So the lines within the windows represent the dividers of the UI between the window areas. You could make one wind

You're right, but Gatekeeper does something else: It marks the line in the sand. So long as that choice is there as an option in settings for me to make, Apple is in the right. If they ever take that choice away, and they start dictating

I think this is in error. The delivery times for SSDs are correct, if you only consider the periods when the SSD is working. When the SSD fails, the delivery time comparison is the AGE OF THE SUN. Ok, I kid. You never get your data. So,
