The leftmost self-description is false. The amount of black ink is actually greater than what is shown on the pie due to the black ink being used to show the pie (i.e. circle) perimeter.

True, there are many opportunities but in my experience the trend is pointing to fewer opportunities, more competition and less money to be made even by the most talented. Here's an interesting post by Kent Beck who is finding that it is mo

Well, there are several points in the article including: 1) failure of the rule of law in Russia, as evidenced by legal issues encountered by the author and his attorney; 2) politically motivated killing of author's attorney. In my comment

What do you think about a feature that makes a vote from someone with an older account count more than a newer account? I know this sounds anti-democratic, anti-"one man one vote", but it could help preserve the original character of the co

Can you explain how my following argument impugns the character of the author? The article claims to be "about how Stalinism and the gulags are alive and well in Russia today". My counterclaim is that the article sets up a false moral equiv

Good, so we do agree on something :) However there is a problem once we take the artistic license to its logical conclusion: Bill Browder, the author of the article, has an artistic license to voice his biased opinions. Given that he welds

When people try to rewrite history to suit their purposes we should hold those people accountable through debate. Those who chose to use hyperbole (e.g. this article) or misrepresentations (e.g. healthcare reform) have their right to free s

There is plenty of corruption everywhere in Russia. There is no point in trying to find saints or sinners in the story. Rather one should recognize the hypocrisy of kettle calling a pot black.

Digging deeper into the story, it appears that the author (Bill Browder) is someone who profited from the criminal pillaging of Russian economy in 1990s: "[Bill Browder's] business was very successful, profiting from the wave of privatizat

Offensive but insidiously clever: they'll build up the hype as an exclusive, "foreigner only" location and few months later will open the floodgates to locals. The approach will ensure high profit margins for foreseeable future.
