Fascinating how outsiders change the world. Despite their progress, it should be food for thought for our modern-era universities too.


useful!


THIRTY FUCKING ASSHOLES. There are 577 deputies in France and only 30 of them are present to vote Big Brother. Fortunately, there are several steps to go: it has to be approved by the Senate and then the Conseil Constitutionnel (in charge of the Constitution) might still reject it. Nevertheless, this proves how much our political leaders DO NOT understand the Internet.


Actually, five voted against, so you may want to revise that number of assholes :)


I quite like discuss but I need a better user management…


What user management tasks do you anticipate?

What I've gleaned from listening to the StackOverflow/StackExchange podcasts is: If you can a build a community, community members will be inclined toward handling a lot of user management as part of their engagement in it.

There's also the implication that if you're not trying to build that sort of community, it's unlikely to be successful.


I'll answer everybody here but I was thinking about something I could use for a company. A place where you can both talk and manage people - a bit like Discourse but with proper profile management. I don't think people are used to shitty forums, I think they accept it because of a lack of other solutions. But thanks for the recommendations, I'll give it a look.


It WAS true. I don't think it is anymore, any Parisian is decently fluent in English and Paris is an open city.


If you compare with other major capitals, like SF, NYC or London, housing is quite cheap (around twice as less expensive). And although the transportation system is far from being flawless, it's not worse than any other one.


Only if you compare by the room, not by the surface. If you can consider a 3m x 3m a room go for it!


Untrue. I've lived in Paris, London and SF and Paris is definitely the cheapest (even by the surface). I'm paying $1100/month in Paris for a 300sq foot appartment (in a nice neighborhood). I was paying $3000/month in SF for a 400sq foot appartment...


I might be wrong, but I found the kind of room that $1000 pays for in NYC to be way nicer and larger than the one you can get for a similar price in Paris (though the usd/eur has increased 20% since I checked).


Great presentation! Not only Paris is becoming an excellent place for startups, but it's a stupendous city in general :)


It seems not to be available anymore :(


Same here. Pretty unfortunate launch.


It's possibly only available in the US. It's not available in Canadian App Store :(


What do you mean? The website works for me, and links to the iOS app store.


Attempting to install from the app store pushes an error saying it's no longer available.


It's launched only for US now.


It's launched in the UK as well. I suspect for all those seeing 'unavailable' it's just taking time to propagate through Apple's systems.


I'm in the US and I see this error too


Utterly stupid. The only reason that would make Firefox win is because it's a good piece of software, which it's currently not, especially when you compare it to chrome. You're not going to convince the average joe with a rant like that ;)
