Oh, I mean that I don't agree that Peter Thiel and his investment group is "equally responsible" for the decay of ethics online because I don't think Peter Thiel believes in money.…

I don't include Peter Thiel as equally culpable. As far as I know, Thiel failed to invent a state-free currency with Max Levchin, and over decades, he witnessed the defeat of uncom…

Don't need to be celibate to go extinct. Remember Nixon? Hoover? They used to run America from colonial times until... well, know any Quakers? "Although official Quakerism may not …

People will look like the people who most have children. Do you have children? If not, then the people of the future will probably look less like you and more like the people who c…

If you were a man of titles and wealth from a family of the same, and you overheard a lean stranger say to a man of some skilled employ to you: "The best servants burned down estat…

I worked at McDonald's. It helped make me the man I am. Mark, have you also considered advice to burn estates? It is analogous from the under up as your flipping burgers is from th…

I remember asking engineers at deCODE about building server centers in Iceland. They said it was too expensive to build and staff a server center and that there was no surplus band…

I don't understand how a more powerful message system will make email as "asynchronous queue of messages" obsolete. As far as I know, gmail is a surface abstraction of wave between…

zero minutes: microbes die at temperatures below boiling, by the time the water is boiling, it's pasteurized enough

That is: if it were true that expected talent/dollars is greater in women than in men, and this is widely known public knowledge, then why do no tech companies select for women ove…

You are paying for $299 worth of emergency room, not $1 of oxycodon. However, I do agree that distribution of drugs in the USA has become a franchised back office sales game of all…

I know the primary care outpatient business, and I support "Walmart medical care." (We call them "counter clinics.") People who don't want expert medical advice go to the counter c…

It's honest for TechCrunch to broadcast their own sincere celebration in Mint's success. It would be suspect if TechCrunch did not emphasize its own participation in Mint's headlin…

Do technology startup founders get paid too much? And: if you think doctors do get paid too much? What are you going to do about it? Offer to pay less? That would be reasonable, bu…

1. Why does my country have the right to be occupying Iraq? A1. Because if the country just thinks about "rights," then the people with means can have what they want, while the peo…

> Apparently, Google has decided that its formal complaint system is "the Internet." Apparently that works if you're Google.

That is simple, but Google explicitly states that they will not do that. Instead, Google linked to: https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=... Which states: "W…
