That depends on what you mean by deregulate. There's a lot of simplification through the single market and free movement of labor.

This is completely incomprehensible and very funny. It's also amusing how different this is to what Twitter has done. It seems incredibly unlikely that any consultants (overpriced …

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Not everyone writes with you in mind as their ideal reader. Some people write for themselves and publish to keep themselves honest…

"So it's ironic that, despite all these established old-media recommendation engines, there was nothing for one of my favourite media - online articles." Prismatic[0] comes to mind…
