improving your design skills? | tel: A common misconception is that "simple" is easy to do. Instead, it's often as hard if not more difficult. Solid design is a battle won in the detail and with simple designs you have fewer details that each must be perfect.For example: The left part of DedaSys

Should we reduce the restrictions on who can angel invest? | coffeemug: It seems to me that creating an open market for angel investment will cause all the problems the public market went through in the past few hundred years (bubbles of extraordinary proportions, fraud, etc.) That means the government would have to establish more and more regulation to prevent abuse, which woul... |
