I'd be interested to see a chart of something trying to more directly measure "standard of living" alongside "information storage per unit volume, communications bandwidth, and computation speed". I also wonder if the relationship will change in the future. I guess standard of living depends on more than just technological change though, in particular government policy.

Lots of very very good reasons for Delaware, yes. It totally makes sense for yc to have this as a rigid rule.. Still I'm interested to know if they have ever made an exception for anyone, and if so who and why.

Good observation... the only reason backrecord.com is still with godaddy is lack of time to make sure I have a process worked out to do it without any downtime. I actually transferred more than 20 domains because of SOPA and can assure you the others will be transferred at some point relatively soon. backrecord.net for instance is no longer with godaddy.

The reason we have not submitted an application for YCombinator is actually simply that we perceive the US to be a bad place to be incorporated. Not just for the reason stated in this article of course, hacker news is frequently littered with other reasons as well. My understanding is the requirement to incorporate as a Delaware company is fairly strict requirement for YC companies. Can someone verify this? (we're already incorporated in Singapore).

In Phnom Penh (where I live), people are just starting to get rich enough to own cars, so you can watch the transition happening. The roads and the (lack of) traffic rules work really well with just motos / pedestrians / bicycles. But add cars into the mix and it starts to fall apart. 1. More congestion. 2. the "road rules" don't work with such large objects. 3. lack of consequence if anyone hits anyone else.
