The other side of this is that the pirates give you network effects which let more people see your app. I wouldn't disable it totally, they will just move to giving prominence to something else. Just throttle the amount of bandwidth pirate

I totally agree. The problem is how do you make it possible for the best people making music (or whatever other internet good) to completely sustain themselves via things they put online.

Yes, but what is going on here is the situation of there being so many picketers that it takes you a while to get through the picket line. The picketers aren't touching you, but you do become aware of the fact that they are there. It seems

Exactly, you also need something like a government to make people internalize externalities.

by thefool 16y ago
This is what I meant. You need something to force people to internalize externalities, and to provide goods that wouldn't otherwise get made. Market failures are a real thing, and you need some sort of institution to address them. The int

The thing is, you still need some institutions to provide public goods within each region of the earth, and these invariably have to be governments.

Although, if google had an algorithm to account for the quality of reviews, not having a no follow, and having the ranking be a function of total number of reviews, and average feedback score, wouldn't be bad either.

I think that having a general sense of how the web is put together will make any business person more effective in what they are doing, even if they cannot write any code. Taking a few months to get educated before committing to build some

It seems more like you are trying to build a photomosaic maker with support for masks. Does Photoshop not do this?

I agree completely. For this reason, there are undergraduate students, grad students, and professionals on the site. We simply require that they attend a top 20 school at this point. This is mostly so that customers know that all editors

This is something we are doing just in the beginning to build credibility. Once we are a little more established we plan on being less selective with our editors and letting the market decide who the great people are.

I am involved with a startup working on this problem ( http://GuruFi.com ). Fundamentally this problem is derives from the fact that it is difficult for people to learn how to write and structure their ideas. Hell thats basically the whole

The don't get stuck in the past bit is a fine line you have to walk. Its dumb to spend your whole creative life simply reproducing ideas that seemed obvious decades ago. You can get a lot better if you know what other people did, and then

You should try to streamline the landing page (and subsequent pages as well). It's not clear upon skimming exactly what you are offering. Mozilla does a great job of this if you need inspiration.

What? First, what is stopping wires from transmitting these frequencies. Second, 300GHz switching speed does not necessarily mean that you need to be feeding info at that rate.

I would argue that it is a good thing for people to be able to take apart and fiddle with the things they buy. The ability to do this had diminished as goods have become increasingly complicated and automated. The real solution is to offer

I wonder how much energy is need to create the oil vs. how much energy is then contained in the oil. I'd assume that the net energy gain is positive, but it would be interesting if they said how positive.
