> 1) One consideration is scale: Estonia's population is around the size of a city, 1.3 million, about equivalent to SF and Oakland combined. It's land area is around 17,500 sq miles; a U.S. state of that size would be the 42nd largest, between West Virginia and Maryland.
That doesn't diminish the services for thier citizens; to the extent that they enhance government through tech, that's great. But if you are comparing countries, it's much different to organize and service 1.3 than 300 million. In fact, if I were running a small nation (something I know nothing about), I might use that relative nimbleness as a competitive advantage.

But wouldn't applying tech for very big populated countries would be better?
I mean: the more people are contributing to an "open source" project, the better it is

So in the end, I feel like that if big countries would be more "open" by going in the e-government sense, we would have a "Linux" government (I admit that I really don't know nothing about this, but I find this very interesting).

> 2) As a guess, Singapore?
Could you give some key points to outline the difference between Singapore and Estonia?

> 3) Does e-government include the governmental service of spying on citizens?
Well, there is room to improvement concerning this issue, right?
There is a lot of effort towards privacy matters, and in the end, people will fight for it, so can we suppose that the "spy citizens" thing will be solved at any moment?

(By the way, I feel that I'm more spied in my country -France- than in an e-government country like Estonia, reminder that a spying law was passed and everything is okay in France...)

It is identical to watching traditional sports (NFL, NBA, football, etc). Why do people watch those?

The commentary is definitely a big part of the appeal. The strategy, the luck, the skill, the occasional swing at the last moments, and the drama (or metadrama).

I cannot say I like watching every game stream, but certainly watching Starcraft II with people like HuskyStarcraft commentating is pretty entertaining.

Each to their own however...

I don't think this is set out to undermine religion. Believers will believe despite strong contrary evidence, if anything, it redoubles their beliefs.

That said, if scholarly religious studies or any studies undermine the great religions and lesser religions, all the better. We'll all be better off without fervent believers. I understand the cultural aspect of these religions will outlast religion and I'm okay with that. It's part of people's cultural identities.

I don't think for example, we should start renaming all the "San/Santa xxxxxx" city names to secular names.

There's also no reason to think that the 100,000 new accounts are any more real or sex-balanced than the previously existing ones. For all we know, they're telling the truth about their membership numbers but it's the memberships themselves that are fabrications.

There's also the fact that accounts never get deleted, so the number of members can only ever increase regardless of whether actual use of the site's facilities is increasing or not.

So many ways to game the system, so little time.

>How about the talent is exactly in being able to put the hard work?

And maybe part of putting in the hard work is coming to realize that its not all about talent..
The likelihood that the entire Koran was written from scratch after the birth (and during the life) of Muhammad is pretty slim.
The Hebrew Bible was canonized* after the Babylonian exile and there have been copies found containing different versions of other books.
The Old Testament has additional books to the Hebrew Bibles (Maccabees) that were never canonized in the Hebrew Bible but remain an Historical Jewish cannon (The Great Revolt).
There are also varied versions of the New Testament such as additional Gospels and Epistles that were not canonized at all or did not survive transition from proto-Christianity into Orthodox Christianity (Or sub sects like the Coptic and Syriac Bibles).

The original works that make up the New Testament was most likely been written in Classical Hebrew, Hellenic Hebrew and Greek (Since some canonization was conducted in as late as 300-400CE also possibly Talmudic Hebrew), there were quite a few sects during the Hellenic period of Judaism that either converged into Christianity or into Judaism so there was quite a bit of cross pollination between various religious texts that some were canonized in the New Testament, some were canonized as the external canon in Judaism and some were lost for ever.

So it would be quite surprising if the Koran was a body of work that was exclusively written during the life time of Muhammad since it's much more likely that it's been gathered from existing works and rewritten and adjusted just like the Hebrew Bible to fit the required goal during it's final canonization.
It is also highly likely that adjustments would've been made after the canonization it self since variations can be found both the Hebrew Bible and the Old and New Testaments, as far as the Hebrew Bible goes with the exception of the Hebrew Bibles that is used by surviving Judaism derivatives like The Samaritans, Karaim, and Beta Israel is standardized since the 9th century (a handful more recent versions were discovered with alterations over the years but not in masses) and the New and Old Testaments were altered with each new translation pretty much upto the modern era.

On a side note, I am for one actually surprised that this work was conducted dating early Islamic artifacts and texts tend to generate quite a big shit storm.

*I refer to Canon as the agreed on final collection of works that made it into each book, minor variances such as ones regional differences between existing schools and different translations are not treated as separate canon.

I'm interested in your feedback for both the website itself and the redesign. Thanks!

> I note LLVM made the same mistake :)

The tail call problem is a problem of interoperability with C ABIs, not a "mistake" in LLVM. If LLVM hadn't made the decisions that it did, it wouldn't have gotten any traction at all, since you wouldn't be able to link LLVM code with any other libraries (including the system ones).

Although your parents built their business from scratch, they benefited from a social, cultural and economic background which led them to more easily attempt and succeed at starting a business.

I am a business owner myself, not coming from a high-income family. I am now part of a network of young entrepreneur/lending scheme for innovative business.

A wild guess: 75% of our alumni come from privileged environment: 50% from very wealthy family, 25% had parents who had intellectual jobs (parents were teachers for instance), and about 25% "others".

It's all anecdotal evidence, as much as your personal experience is.

From your "mother with 3 jobs" example: of course she teaches a lot to her children, of course she has merit!
But their children won't feel like they have a "safety net" around them, be it strictly financial or not, provided by their background.

Wherever I like it or not, I know that if my business fails tomorrow, my family will be there for me. It can be conscious or not, but for many of "us" entrepreneur, we took a risk and consciously or not, we have a safety net.

Sorry, but that first one:

http://nanxiao.me/en/an-experience-of-fixing-a-memory-corrup...

is really dumb. The moral is that you don't use global variables that are accessed by multiple threads (unless you're very careful). That's C programming 101.
My thinking is sort of along the same vein: you can train people, you can't "train" a language. And if you can't train the person, why did you hire them? The cost of training is much like the cost of evaluating frameworks and tools and choosing the best ones (with the huge caveat that you invested in a person, and they can leave... but if their strongest suite is the obscure language, it puts a damper on things...)
I would guess that you'd corroborate my characterization of hiring Haskellers as an embarrassment of riches then? :-)

> The assertion in this article seems deliberately calculated to undermine the historicity of Islam. There is a very sad and shortsighted movement in some corners of military scholarship right now that identifies Islam itself as the enemy...

FWIW I've seem some pretty ridiculous "historical" claims made against the historicity of Christianity. When it comes to the history of someone else's religion, I find people tend to tolerate a lot of sloppiness. I wouldn't take this article as specifically anti-Islam, but rather an example of such sloppiness.
