Many parts of the 3rd world are off the grid, yet aspire to a modern lifestyle. His experiences could very well lead to products targeting this emerging market.
Yes it is different, because going from newspapers to blogs was enhancing our freedom, no barriers to become a citizen journalist. Something that is especially important when leaving under a tyrannical regime like Iran.
Now everything is migrating to the walled garden of social nets, where your true identity is enforced, and all your activity can be centrally monitored.
... somebody who really is sensitized to what freedom means, to remind us that on the social nets we are just playing at the pleasure of our corporate overlords.
Greece was just as much a sovereign country in 2010 as it is now.
The obsession with Germany driving this is simply unhealthy, yet a convenient foil to blame somebody else.
There are 19 Euro zone members. If Germany was isolated in its stance there wouldn't have been austerity measures.
The other PIGS that took the poison pill and recovered have very little sympathy, and the East-European and other Northern nations are even far less forgiving.
The Finish PM never gets tired of pointing out that the Greece debt that Finland holds equates 10% of its GDP.
It may make Greece protester feel good to draw a mustache on Merkel, but it's asinine and just speaking to the human need to have a scapegoat.
This calculation is rapidly readjusted at this point. The Greek economy is peanuts in comparison to the whole EU, and setting a precedent that you can bend the rules with impunity will be more expansive.
My bet: Greek sovereign default by the end of this week. Grexit by the end of the months after the ECB stoped re-financing the Greek banks.
Indeed, it was mostly the British and Dutch flag, but to their credit they caught on earlier how reprehensible this business was (not by much in the case of the Dutch).
Markets don't just happen automatically, they are created by governments that level the playing field, provides fair jurisprudence and enforce contract law.
I am all for good governance with checks and balances precisely because I like free markets and personal liberties.
Biggest accomplishment of Windows 3.x was how it drove the development and adoption of Linux. Got me to install an early SuSE distro with a 0.9x kernel.
It's hard to describe, if you haven't experienced it, how drastic the difference was. I marveled at the capabilities of my PC after it ran Linux. It could easily hold its own against UNIX workstations five times as expansive.
There is more to physics than just the conversation of energy. Specifically this thing, the way it is supposed to work, violates the conservation of momentum.

... was meant to write "... living under a tyrannical regime". Hossein Derakhshan would probably gladly leave Iran if he could.

This is unfortunately very true.
Everybody who has money in Greek banks will in all likelihood get robed with the stroke of a pen.
Sounds like it's a basketcase all around.

Greece was a Democacy longer than I am alive ( I was born 1971). Seems to me to be a rather weak justification.
"And who or what gives the Eurocrats the authority to print Euros?"
The ECB, and it's has the authority from the foundational treaties of the currency union.
And who elected the Greek government?
"They lose too much in a grexit."

Supposedly Greece was a democracy, where did the oligarchs come from?
Yes, giving a country a line of credit is just like invading it and shooting its citizen. Totally.

6 years testing seems totally appropriate.
Agile coding at its best.
OPC ensures that manufacturing will never return to the US.
If there's no IP barriers all the competitive advantages are in the manufacturing process.
It's a huge gift to the Chinese hardware sector, because that's all they have.
There is nothing natural about markets.

Thanks for posting this.
So prescient.

Need much more convincing data before I'd be comfortable to join into these happy speculations :-)

Meh, his dad is the real deal.
Paul the younger is a rather faux libertarian.
