The US dollar is not the platform that helps you to pay something. It is the thing that you pay , with or without using the help of a platform to do so. Can you really not understand the difference?

You are using a straw man to defend the indefensible. "These guys" are clearly winging it, when we remember the definition of "These guys": Ideologues touting Efficient Markets and the Washington Consensus, often in the pay of corporation

Of course, the problem was also created by "hundreds of trained economists" in the first place. If geeks weren't trading MBS and selling NInJA loans as AAA rated assets to the insurance companies, would the blowup have happened? If the Fe

Your ideas will work very well for small data, big storage. eg daily stock price histories They will not always work for big data, which often means "max out our storage with crap, don't worry disk is cheap" eg web metrics When a decision m

What the US has done to Iran is well documented. Facts do not cease being facts just because the Iranian government states them. I suggest you lookup "Stuxnet", "Flame" and "Mojahedin E Khalq".

This is so silly. You don't have a startup idea until you have a product that you can sell to Grandma, that will work for her on a standalone basis. It can't require an Act of God to take it market. It has to be cheap enough that Grandma

I haven't personally been in the Valley recently , but... "Startup" in the old Silicon Valley used to mean companies with serious technology like Amiga or Apple or Illustra. The staff used to be PhDs and sometimes professors from Stanford

No, if Apple's policy is not to sell the drone app, and (let's assume) Google's policy is to sell the drone app, these are not the same policy by definition. (Therefore you cannot claim that all stores have the same policy. This stu

The problem is the idea that more science is good . People interpret the word science as a Star Trek future with flying cars . But what the professors think that science (of the PhD kind) is, is citations for conference papers full o

Contesting the point would be to explain why the policy is not horrid, to the people who regard it as censorship and therefore horrid , by addressing the point . You did not do that, you said "Build your own Apple then!". This comment

You aren't the only one who thinks this way. (Not that that answers your question). I guess that we are outnumbered though.

Every comment you have made on this page has been in reply to someone's criticism of the App store's horrid policy . Every riposte you have given has been that Apple have the right to choose their policy. Yes, Apple may have a right to

From a big data perspective, I'm pretty sure people were making do with CSV files before JSON came along. I think most practitioners would not subject themselves to stupid, stupid XML unless they really had to.

I think you are missing a couple of things. In this comment I will equate "Rug Market" with "Ready, Fire, Aim" and "Cathedral" with "4 Year Plan". Firstly, the "Rug Market" beats the "Cathedral" when you haven't formulated the problem prop
