But the thing is certainly happening in other countries too, like the recent situation in France where in a couple of months there were 24 high skilled workers from the same telephone company committing suicide.
The problem with the law was that it was in reality imposing a time of starvation every year to the fishermans and their families, while the same species could be bought at the markets imported from other countries. The measure was one of the first to be abandoned when the political regime changed.
I don't really know what is the possibility of fishing companies to cycle between the fishing species during the year to let the other species grow, but that still seems like an alternative to me.
I also think that a fish diet is much more healthy than a meat diet, so a danger like the possible extinction of fishing species shouldn't be taken lightly just because we can get the proteins somewhere else.
But that doesn't mean that there exist government production sites or distribution stores. So there isn't any advantage for the goverment such as incoming tax money from the drugs or increse in job positions.
Also there is no mistaken belief that the goverment supports the drugs perceived by the youth because actually all the system does is not arresting you, the goverment doesn't provide the availability of drugs.
If the system ends up helping the addicted individuals or not, that is something that I don't know. Though it seems obvious that arresting someone is not the wisest first step for treatment, I end up figuring how does the system reaches the addicts then (I don't think getting help by themselves is something they would do without a great external help).
I mean, the quantity of information being submitted to Digg, and maybe Reddit, is so huge it roughly gives a new story about 5 minutes of exposure in the first page of the New Stories section, and only in the specific feed, not the global one...
It makes me think that somehow, spreading something over Twitter, using our friends to do it, might achieve a better result...
The attack on Google was said to be a way to get access to the accounts of free rights activists, but they also attacked several other US companies. The reason must be to steal the companies' know how.
Would you be surprised if a few years from now a Chinese Google was announced and similar and maybe better products in other industries?
And I think these actions are all supported by the Chinese goverment which knows getting chinese competitors in some key fields is the only way of exponentially develop its economy.
At least this way they're attracting a niche of people who do like a more portal like search engine. And in some places that niche is the majority of the population, like in Japan, where Yahoo seems to be very successful.
If the users just want a search box they have http://search.yahoo.com/. I don't know if they can customize that do be the default.
So the thing "Yahoo don't quite get it" doesn't seem right to me.
If google voice does that... it would be nice.
Google is doing the same... actively self-censoring, the worst form of censorship.

Although it sucks, nobody gives any value to humility anymore. They want the confident, "I'm an expert" kind of guy, so giving as answer that the worst code you've seen lately is your own, without any kind of explanation of why you think that (that you view your knowledge has something which as always a long way to go) would probably be a instant KO to the poor humble interviewee.
I was just wondering if after the years that passed it had become less good or something...
Anyway, if the cards are public there is no reason for them not to be at wikipedia. I also didn't know the images were always the same.
After the moon, everything is just too far away to travel. We can study Mars very well with the robot approach. We're just throwing astronauts life away for our stupid need of putting Men in Mars, which I dare say is utterly pointless.
All these pseudo journalist are taking Google OS as a great success for granted and ridiculing someone who uses a safer and smarter approach of just not predicting the future.
Although important, that's was not promoting peace, it was promoting a revolution. And why should the creator of the platform receive the credit for its user content? If it was not Twitter people would be doing the same over email. Should we award instead the creator of the the web, or the creator of the integrated circuit or ...
And if I'm right there will be a huge wave of disapointment.
You can send direct messages by chating with that contact the same way you'd do in MSN/AIM. There is always a group chat called Timeline updating the tweets being sent, where you can RT, reply and tag as favorite.
I'm convinced and maybe will drop Twitterific...
Even given the fact that we're usually very social beings in the virtual world, talking to a lot and developpping strong relationships over the web, what can be the affects of the lack of talking for example? Will we lose progressively our hability to express ideas by talking and getting stronger in the writing?
I think there aren't many studies on this kind of isolatio
But when it comes to facts... well, they're facts... You only get as a return the uninteresting information.
I think Wolfram Alpha can succeed if they point their strategy into something which is rare on the web: certified knowledge. Being able to type a name of a country and instead of getting facts, getting real information about its history. Information that the users can trust as a bibliographic source.
Because facts are facts... they exist but they're so uninteresting.
Companies are eager to hire bachelors, which will do the job they want them to do exactly the same as a Master, but with the difference of paying them only a fraction.
