wow I read the original post and now this. Though I disagree with (this post's) author on some points, he is correct that the the regulation is mostly reasonable. If it was up to me, I would remove items 5,6. They strike me as an unrea

I often disagree with Jeff Sachs, but I find his argument here highly persuasive. - There is no reason the US should be giving away IP for free - The US Government should use its purchasing power as a check against the drug companies - Drug

This is essentially a payday loan for app developers, fairly low risk since they can see clear sayed numbers from itunes/google play. Smart Idea.

this is really nothing other than very straight forward "Insurance". In the long run, the optimists almost always win. Keeping money sitting idle and constantly rolling short dated put options is not a particularly sophisticated t

Something like this could be extremely valuable inside an organization. A lot of very valuable knowledge is locked up by employees with no incentive to reveal it.

People have been singing this song for quite some time now, the question is still: can they do it? I'm yet to see this mythical Uber Logistics play, and their ancillary products, RUSH, EATS, CARGO etc all seem poorly thought through an

this would be more useful if it had some subjective measures as well like "build quality" Galaxy s6 comes up as most similar to the droid turbo which seems fairly off base to me. CPU chipset generations would also be helpful to pr

Israel (obv a different scale than china) has recently also experienced a big push toward desal. What's interesting is there's a moore's law type of effect at play here, desal keeps getting cheaper and cheaper to the point wh

On an unrelated note, what does everybody think about the design language Topolsky brought to Bloomberg? I'm torn, on the one hand it's "trendy" on the other hand, it looks like a 70's acid trip and not in a good w

The one big problem with this exam is that the candidates are not well normalized across countries. You don't really get an apples to apples comparison since countries like Japan have a tendency to cherry pick who takes the test.
