In the early days of odnoklassniki and VKontakte there was a joke in Russia that KGB invented them as better version of its secret files on people. Now it does not look like a joke anymore.

I usually don't like this kind of stuff. But I decided to try it for 30 seconds and ended up spending 10 minutes. Quite entertaining.

Have you used Mathematica before? Other than deployment capabilities everything in this demo was available in Mathematica for more than 4 years already. This Wolfram Language is nothing else but smart PR.

It might be just my situation. I had private plan before ACA. When exchanges opened I spent half a day filling out forms to see if I can get anything better than my private plan. Because of no income, they did not allow me to even check wha

I think I was not clear - there is no problem with signing up with Medicaid. The problem is - I don't see how ACA adds anything to entrepreneurs. When I quit my job, we signed up for private insurance (family of 4 - $500 a month with d

I am curious about your experience. Have you signed up for a ACA plan? I have tried, and it was frustrating waste of time - since, as a founder, I didn't have any income I was not allowed to get any ACA plan. I was told this after I sp

I have not tried the service yet. But I really like idea. In our startup we cannot afford designer and I do most design work (with the help of themeforest and such). Often I just would like an opinion of an experienced designer to see that

This is not correct comparison. Since you provide services locally you should know local laws and tax code. AirBnB just provides a platform for you to provide the services, but I don't see how it is feasible for them to ensure that eac

Or lying on a couch. All studies compare sitting with walking. How about sitting vs standing? Or sitting vs lying? When I work, I prefer to lie on a couch rather than sit at a desk. And I am not kidding - I am more productive that way.
