    The world also badly needs adventurists, people who strike out towards something new.

    Like invading Iraq? Careful what you ask for.

    And for every Lindbergh, there's several Stanton Wooster's: those who failed. There were several attempts at x86 GUI's in the 80's and 90's, but most failed and lost money. It's great that some people take risk for the progress of humanity, but statistically I wouldn't want to be one of them. (Actually, I've tried several startups. Great experience, but a financial drain.)

    If history books were honest, we'd read more about Stanton Wooster, but it would make more kids look for cushy jobs in middle management instead of risk their wad on pie in the sky so that we can have smart phones and cheap rockets by leaving a trail of dead bodies and bankrupt entrepreneurs. Honesty often lacks glory.

    I've worked with psychopaths before. They honestly don't get why you're outraged when they pull the shit they do.

    Ditto. "Just get over it. It's water under the bridge."

    It's as if they expect everyone to be psychopaths like them, and are surprised when they are not.

  11. But a deal is typically "you get X if you do Y". Whether Y happened is not clear. The IF clause may have been activated ("ran"), but that doesn't mean the conditions themselves were triggered.

    Suddenly conservatives are "bothered" by influence peddling. What changed, you Citizens-United-ruling huggers?

  15. hubris for Facebook to assume that can rely on the network effect from their huge membership

    Why doesn't somebody come up with a standard to share and control sharing of info so that one is not tied to a monopoly to house such info?

    Companies who "lost" the network effect fight or only sell generic hosting should be happy to support such a standard because it would level the playing field. Zuck would be zucked.

    It might require a non-profit "registry" of contacts, though.

  16. OK Sherlock, stitch the evidence into a narrative that makes sense.

    If we go that route, why should we only look at Fox and Rush's guesses? If we are comparing guesses, then compare all.

    OR, wait for things to settle so that we get real details instead of speculate out of our cabooses.

    "Mr. Pagliano told investigators, he approached Ms. Mills to relay State Department concerns that the private server might pose a "federal records retention issue." According to Mr. Pagliano, Ms. Mills told him not to worry about it, because other secretaries of state had used similar setups."

    If that's the case, then she didn't understand or know the distinction between an outside service and a personal server. (It actually makes no difference from a legal standpoint, but I'm looking at the "lie" claim here.)

    An AOL "technician" and a personal server technician perhaps would be no different to her. She didn't "see" either. I work with non-IT people all the time that wouldn't understand that distinction unless explicitly and carefully explained.

    It's not their job: Congress can't stop initial war nor The Button, only stop its funding. But who pays for Armageddon is moot.
