I'd definitely question the talented labour available for work. There's nothing like the talent in SF and we're currently saturated with Google/Facebook/Amazon/LinkedIn/Zynga sucking up a significant chunk of the best talent here and also b

I don't think he's being cynical. The points smell of rhetoric. "We must be mindful of the precedents set" "Avoid collateral damage" "Promote innovation over litigation" None of this is actionable against the legislation in it's current for

I don't know what enom is like anymore, but when I used enom back in 2006 to 2009 I wouldn't have used them as a poster boy for anything technology related. Sporadic API failures, unexpected "lost" registrations etc. etc. If I had to choose

There's some negativity here, but I have to say I'm impressed. This is a nice bit of low hanging fruit for a segway into smarter home technology, something we've been promised for ages but which has consistently failed to deliver IMHO. Add

This is a difficult problem in Europe and fair play if you can get it done. I have some friends who built the software behind Sentenial which does DD processing in Ireland & Europe. Their CEO & CTO was scared away from adding in CC
