Congratulations on the move! Asia is a great place to be. And a great environment for doing business. I'm in Hong Kong --- in several cities around the region including here, SG, KL, and Jakarta I see lots of latent entrepreneurial energy

The issue the NYT is complaining about is: the US prefers to use "place of incorporation" instead of "place of effective management" in deciding where a company should be taxed. Of course this should hardly be a surprise, when Delaware alon

The article's dismissal of an editor by complaining that "[his] edits were all deleting things and moving things around" is a perfect illustration of why "bytes added" is just as bad a contribution metric as "edit count". We're not in 2001
