That 50% stat is made up stat. 50% Americans probably cant spell "encryption" properly. It is very easy to make people bend over and grease up by threatening them that some bad people are planning to kill them. Defending liberty d

I think free market has always done a better job of protecting Individual liberties from the government. In fact a lot of Americans take for granted what these profit mongering corporations are doing for them. If this had to happen in China

WTF is a "responsible taxi service" ? Is the bar to being 'responsible' getting some government license ? Exposing itself to "license" means exposing themselves to arbitrary government control and has nothing t

I think Milton Friedman's matrix of spending is useful here. Google's research investment has huge returns (and benefits) for society. Government's spending is extremely dubious. I guess a good chunk of technology spending mi

I kind of feel sad for this company. They had very strong model. Build something that scales to millions of users and offer it for free along with ads. As long as the cost of scaling is less than ad revenue you run a profit. Clearly marketi

Most people who support lower taxes also support lower government spending. These are not republicans or democrats but people who mostly do simple math. 40% tax essentially means people are working for government from January to May and get

Big players will always pay less irrespective of what people like Bernie Sanders might say. They have more resources to navigate the tax code. Plug one hole they will find ten others.

The top tech industry seems to be totally unaware of underground H1Bs. Some companies "charge" people to file their H1B, run fake payrolls and pay below legal salary. Government probably does not have much resources to catch all o

Also, all these people should not invest in Google stock either.

If Google makes more profit it means my grandma who haw invested her life's saving in stocks makes more money, it means self driving cars will be reality sooner and it means poor people on Indian railway stations can access internet no

I think all liberty loving individuals should learn a thing or two from NRA and Gun rights advocates on such issues even if they might hate NRA. NRA and well knit group of Gun rights advocates (such as myself) concedes 0 space to the govern

Very interesting point. The only reason I have not donated to volunteered for Rand Paul is because I was foreigner. Also, I think candidates must show responsibility and least make everyone sign that they are US nationals.

These people should be totally ashamed for the tool they have given. It is just nodejs wrapped inside a desktop app. They could have very well made it open sourced and offered to community.

I guess a lot of Yahoo! employees will now be in mood to leave the company and this means a lot for other companies in bay area.

Download the Kimono desktop tool for Mac and unzip it. It is nothing but a nodejs based web application.

Their "desktop tool" is complete rubbish. I have to manually click on each source to crawl it and then manually click a few buttons to save the response. Thanks for nothing guys!

To all those badmouthing Palantir. I think they are just a hogwash. They are just pretending to be something that Fox Maulder would investigate I dont think they are. They are just helping the government spend more money on problems that ar

Two months is a short time but I had sort of expected this given how bad their service of performing last few days. That is why I had started moving to other services.

My wife is a student and looking for internship she will work for a company that helps people write about how they ran over than grandma if she gets a legal. Morality and ethics have a price always.

Just to point out healthcare sector in USA is tightly controlled by government and people don't have a lot of freedom to experiment with quality and price. It is not a surprise if in such cases a socialist government paid system works

You have confused scale of corruption, definition of corruption with something that you think is wrong. I remember we had to bribe a local fair price to get sugar and better quality rice. Those days are over long back. Also I don't see

Corruption is a very natural and logical consequence of socialism.

Right but USA is not Netherlands. USA is home to immigrants, sends rockets on moon and invents new vaccines.

I come from India and if USA is going socialist path I think I will better go back to India. Socialism can make even a big ship sink faster than you can imagine. I think American youth has developed a sense of entitlement and no clue about

You are right. But very often people in west do not want to acknowledge poor Indian Hindus as even people let alone natives who can govern themselves. This might sound like a stretch but look at the propaganda that is trying to revive now d

You can always look this information yourself by couple of google searches. Many in west is a perfectly valid use of phrase. Deep Hinduphobia causes a lot of (even liberal) westerners to look down on Hindus and India in general. For example

Happy to MZ coming forward to apologize and clarify, I would have imagined he would have stayed out of it. Those ill informed comments from Marc who is otherwise libertarian were disparaging.

by tn13 11y ago
Marc was ill informed just like many in west. A lot of people think that India was economically better off under an oppressive colonial rule. Facts: - India's rate of growth under Britain was 1% and basically stagnant. - India's

You can cheap water testing kits on amazon which you can use. Also not water is 100% safe and it makes a lot of sense to diversify the water sources. We use tap water for cooking, bottled water from different brands at home and workplace. T
