The article never says that MS embraces jailbreaking. Keeping the original title "Microsoft: we can’t stop you from jailbreaking Windows Phone 7" would make more sense, since it would be pointless to argue on this, and would have kept the article's gist.
I would recommend The Book of Tea by Okakura Kakuzo. It's a great introduction to eastern culture for westerners taking tea as link and guide. Despite it was published in 1906 it's interestingly both actual and dated.
No. You would have to know all the other frameworks in order to know that yours is simplest. You only need a few points of reference to be able to say it is simpler.
FTA:
"To me, writing apps with Django or Tornado has always been much more enjoyable. MonoRail and MVC were big improvements over webforms, but still they felt difficult to me, especially if you aren’t using an IDE."
I do wonder how much of that simplicity is because of dynamic languages and not directly because of the framework. I've done quite a few projects with ASP.NET MVC and in my opinion it makes most things pretty easy. But there seem to be some things in Rails that make life easier, but they are really features from Ruby that you can use in Rails.
Highlights for the investor visa:
- The investor must be coming to the United States solely to develop and direct the enterprise
- The investment must be substantial. It must be sufficient to ensure the successful operation of the enterprise
- must have the capacity to generate significantly more income than just enough to provide a living to the investor and his or her family, or it must have a significant economic impact in the United States
I'm not sure if a YC funded founder would be elegible, but seems hard
I've been running my own business in the US on an E-2 visa for the last 12 years. The minimum recommended initial investment is of the order of $100,000 - and a majority the E-2 company must be owned by citizens of the non-US 'treaty country'.
You have to bring $100,000 of your own personal money into the company (so investment from 3rd party doesn't count).
You also have to maintain control of your company, ie you can never give away more than 50% of the equity in the company - and that will be prohibitive when seeking investment.
The company is thus limited in it's ability to fundraise above a certain point and an exit is impossible without the founder leaving the country.
Tele-Ball (or BallTime in Apple-speak). Hook the movements of two such balls together via a phone call so widely separated people can enjoy the bonding power of play.
It would be very interesting (at least for me) if some Eastern hackers here can share their point of view over these subjects, mysticism and modern science, yoga, etc.
