Even if you want to sustain for your family now, a start up could possibly make it better for them in the future. That's a big problem with the Maslow's hierarchy, as it doesn't account for planning into the future.
I like Instagram because it feels less serious then Facebook. When I upload something to Facebook, it feels like it has to be something good. On Instagram I can just post whatever picture I want, doesn't really matter that much. I do also not have any relatives on Instagram, which is quite nice. I think that might be one of the reasons why many like Instagram over Facebook/Flickr (or maybe it's just me that reason that way).
It seems like you didn't want to pay to have the best engineers or you advertised the position in the wrong way. To be honest it feels like you believe you are entitled to have the best while not having much to offer in return.
Tel Aviv is probarbly larger than Stockholm though.
The Swedish definition of "metropolitan" area is skewed, it consists of several cities and according to wikipedia its 6,519 km2 that is compared to Tel Avivs metropolian area of 1,516 km2. Still Tel Avivs has a metropolitan population of 3.4 million people compared to Stockholm's 2.1 million.
The article missed Tobii, which this year got a $20 million investment by Intel, and has raised over $50 million in total. They're making a very cool eye tracking product that you (among other use cases) can use to control a computer with your eyes.
Typical sensational TorrentFreak article. This is normal procedure in Swedish courts. The Swedish legal system is different and what would be called "charged" comes much later in the legal process. He's currently häktad[1] which is stopping him from destroying evidence or leaving the country, like he did previously when he fled to Cambodia.
I thought that was exactly what the article tried to imply.
From the article: "But today, in another one of those unusual political coincidences, Cambodian officials announced the “strengthening of bilateral ties” with Sweden – along with a $59 million aid package sweetener."
Am I the only one tired over how TorrentFreak will say anything, related or not, to try to confirm their bias? This aid was decided on for over 5 months ago, in march 2012 (http://www.sweden.gov.se/sb/d/574/a/94013), and it is obviously not the result of Sweden trying to get at Svartholm. But if you want to be believe it then please do...
With a recommendations system, obscure subreddits would have the opportunity/disaster of being blown up in a matter of days, which would destroy some communities. I think for some subreddits, it's better if they're spread with the word of mounth to keep their culture. It's also fairly easy to find subreddits of one's interest anyway and I also believe most active redditors already have unsubscribed to almost all of the top 100 subreddits.
