A few thoughts on this: (1) The City's attitude toward these mobile apps, which facilitate a market for public parking spaces, is that they are creating a "predatory private market…

To echo the feedback others have provided: your website makes it a challenge to understand what your product does. Being obtuse about the point of your product is not an effective …

I believe the European Court of Justice's ruling applies to all of the EU countries, not just to Spain. I think it's unimaginable that Google would stop serving the entire EU marke…

I intended my comment hyperbolically, consistent with my overall satirical tone. To be clear, I don't believe this will kill the internet, and I don't think it is necessarily under…

"Gonzalez had his home repossessed 16 years ago. If you Google his name, you can still see newspaper stories about his debts. 'It hurts my reputation,' he says in Spanish. 'My debt…

I don't deny that the easy availability of mass amounts of information about people on the internet has serious, troubling privacy implications, has magnified the importance we asc…

I envy you for being so well-adapted to the traditional style of teaching :) On the whole, most people learn better by listening or interacting or doing. I'm certainly the exceptio…

As someone who learns almost exclusively by reading, I've always been bemused by the concept of lectures. I've never thought that a professor explained the material better than the…

Fair enough, you're correct that no new right was created in the EU. I was reading your comment as defending the concept of it as a right, and so I took issue with the notion that …

Thanks for the recommendation, atto, and congratulations on your launch this week! A few thoughts on your site: (1) My first concern is about privacy. The idea that my search resul…

You make a good argument about why she has an interest in not being found/identified with this information. To be sure, there are good reasons why she would want to distance hersel…

I agree. I might pay up to $5/month if they offered more than just bookmarking. EG, a powerful and comprehensive platform that automatically organizes the material that a user cons…

If their goal was to bury it in mediocrity, I think that would be a good strategy. But I think their goal is to bring attention to a movie that distorted history in a meaningful wa…

I don't disagree, but you are missing my point, which is a descriptive matter of American attitudes about food. For the most part, I accept your point that old neighbor-cheese (and…

That article is about scavenging for packaged grocery store food that isn't fresh enough to sell, but is certainly safe enough to eat. Don't you think there's a meaningful differen…

This is an incisive and articulate explanation of my reasoning. Ride-sharing and food-sharing are different in a few meaningful ways that raise doubt that a food-sharing app should…

Luca, I don't mean to criticize your idea, which is a great attempt at solving the problem of wasted food. I just doubt that this model will really take off. I think you underestim…

Has anyone found a review of how this app works in practice? It seems like it could work well for unopened perishable foods, but do the founders really expect that strangers are go…

The article is an incisive analysis of the pernicious effect of money on politics, though it mostly repeats arguments that Lawrence Lessig has been making for the past five years, …

I think it's also occurring in part because of doctors who are prescribing aggressive and often unnecessary courses of antibiotics. I expect this is at least one explanation for wh…

I think your moral arguments are sound, and I tend to agree, but I would just add that you should probably explicitly recognize the (implicit, I think?) premise that there is a mea…

Very interesting indeed. I think it raises many more questions than it answers about human behavior and the infectiousness of rumors in social media. I'd be particularly interested…
