This subthread has nothing to do with the original article... Let's please avoid hijacking this discussion and avoid arguing about the prevalence of things like ADD (as richly ironic as these discussions may be :-)

Thanks!! Please consider adding that some of this to the Security documentation, and more prominent links to the source code as well. I actually found your GitHub profile and should have realized that core-communication-lib is what I wanted

What you are describing could be necrotizing fasciitis, and although MRSA is a common cause there are many classes of pathogens responsible. Any of them can constitute a medical emergency, and if not diagnosed and treated quickly a surgeon

Thank you for mentioning B Corporations. If Isaac is trying to decide between a non-profit and a C Corp, then a B Corp could be the perfect compromise. And as I posted on another thread, there are examples of B Corps raising A rounds.

You could also consider creating a B Corp,[0] which balances its duty to shareholders against a duty to also promote the common good. And there are examples VC-backed B Corps, such as Disconnect.[1] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org&#

As upset as I am about the NSA, I agree that reports like these may be hard to justify as whistleblowing. This seems to be less about accountability and more about gawking at the NSA's toys. I suppose the NYT could argue that this arti

No, you are conflating two separate concepts. Just because a framework is dynamic doesn't mean it has to be shared. MacOS X provides all the benefits of dynamic frameworks that Landon outlines, but third party frameworks are almost alw

I said that coral rarely exists below 30 meters - and that was in contrast to the OP who said that "most corals live in the deep sea." As for research, beyond the scuba mention I also provided a citation from a reputable organiz

This page lost me when it claimed that most coral exists in the deep sea kilometers below the surface. Anyone who scuba dives recognizes that coral prefers warm water and filtered sunlight and is rarely found more than 30 meters below the s

Would the numbers ever make sense? If a company does fail it's either technical failure or an unsustainable business model. I doubt a consultancy would want to inherit the former, and if the business model fails then it's hard to
