I think politics is too much of a us against them mentality to be successful doing that. They'd probably get bashed from both sides if they tried that.

I remember one article of Steve Yegge in which he wrote that for the most part the engineering culture at Google came from an early employee. Is this actually the guy?

what's the point of trying to "control" digg? Does it really make a difference for anybody? Did they call themselves the Digglluminati?

I didn't read the book, but the article is good. I tend to ignore the differences between Shia and Sunni muslims when thinking about Islam, but thanks to articles like this one can realize that they often hate each other more than western c

I was thinking that if say Dell tried to move part of their production to a cheaper country (e.g Vietnam), they might meet some resistance from the PRC, in the form of threats, sanctions or whatnot. From what I've read, they value their man
