It would help, thank you for that. I was expecting an actual example, which what was my problem with the title. It was more subtle than that so I read the whole thing but kept wanting to know what the damn line was. The downvotes that I am

Interesting. So, did they succeed? Are cabbies dismantled now? If the vcs stop pumping bil/year, will Uber exist? I don't care about Uber or the Taxi industry, I am trying to point out that better replaces existing, and so far, th

Interesting. By the look of it Tesla will be the first company sued by the shorts and longs at the same time. Disrupting the corporate law :P

" It's not actually dishonest." dishonest - Intended to mislead or cheat. Raising any initiative with multiples of free 100k carrots is super easy. Why do they have to resort to all other tactics?

After reading everything there, I am left with more question than when I opened the page. Is the page honest? Who is giving the money? Why are they sponsoring people? Only a handful of questions to preapply? Why? There used to be pages like

He wrote "funding secured". Now he has to prove it upon demand, or he'll get sued. A lot.

And that is your right. However most people would like to remove slander with a court order.

It also depends on the bandwidth available. Average users don't overpay for unlimited.

"we are allowed to send them to you for free". Keyword: allowed. How can these smart and brave people, that push the boundaries of human understanding and knowledge, act so stupid.

I apologize (but maybe this will be useful feedback to you), but I just don't see the benefit provided that would warrant me shelving out a couple of hundred bucks a year. If I am established business, I have somebody on staff that man

I thought you are overreacting until I reached this part : " 3. That Microsoft is granted back, without any restrictions or limitations, a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, assignable and sub-licensable license, to r

Speculation is a substantial part of it. Especially as some places are in economies at the end of a very long expansion cycle.

Pretty much the general attitude. But the scary part is that most are basing their retirement on this one-asset strategy end-all investment approach.

Sure. Why are you highlighting this wasn't "created in an academic laboratory". Do you think your blogging approach of thinly veiled negativity toward established peer-reviewed works will give you more likeability among the g

The website doesn't work in Firefox. "FAQ: The download buttons do not work". "The website is fully supported by Chrome now" The current state of the internet, has reached a very low point. One would expect more f

The interesting bit is that is about to get tested out with GitHub. Yes, of course, Skype target audience was network locked and not that savvy, but, the open source community does seem a tad bit different breed.

No need to get concerned. Just look at codeplex, it fully supports Git and Microsoft haven't touched that feature. :P

It will take some time to play out. People will sue, costs of lawsuits payout will be weighed against continuing the existing practices (IBM vs Xerox style) etc. Two things: they are still operating in EU, and it didn't go well for Mic

Whenever I read "Blocking entire EU" I classify it as a romanticized revenge daydreaming. No sane western corporation will willingly eliminate an entity about the site of USA out of spite and take a profit hit just because of new

So, between the lines: Money. 1. Trial apps promotion: because once the regular new app promotion ends, so do most of the profits for apps that can't quite make it. 2. More money, in form of apple reducing publishing taxes.

Yep. We used to make a barrel with my dad every year. Handpicked and and threw stuff out that was spoiled. Took an evening for 100 litres. We could usually tell the difference between that and the mass produced mash-everything-for-volume ea
