Interestingly Apple spells out their overall revenue (88.3 billions) but not their profits (they only mention profits per share). This is obviously not a coincidence. I wonder why...

The Beyond Meat products are 100% plant-based (vegan). I don't know if they are any good though (can't buy them in Germany).

Of course you could just check 'Default to full-screen' next to the little trash can on the bottom right of every new Gmail message (no plugin required)...

Why do you think that Dev Bootcamp lost out to App Academy in the prestige stakes?

Some screenshots etc. would be nice so I can get an idea if it's worth signing up.

It costs more on a nominal basis but if implemented right nobody will have less money in their pocket even after taxes.

If you didn't earn any money before you will get what was spend on you before + the saved overhead (+ a lot of wasted time and hassle). If you made a lot of money before you will still get a free handout but you also have to pay higher taxes so in the end you should have about the same amount. Obviously it will not be exactly the same for everybody but that doesn't mean it will be less fair.

Besides the saved overhead another major advantage of a bi would be to streamline incentive. Currently it can happen that if you start earning money you will lose a lot of benefits. This can lead to an implicit tax rate of > 50% for very poor people and therefore disincentives work.

Are you planning to open source some or all of the code of your site etc.? Was thinking about a similar service in my country (Germany) and that would obviously help a lot.

Do you have any before and after examples? Could only find the 'after' version on your website.

Does this work internationally (eg international phone numbers + translated explanation)?

GiveWell has some interesting thoughts on microfinance: http://blog.givewell.org/2009/10/23/6-myths-about-microfinan....

Pest-resistance makes food cheaper and people like cheap food.

Does anyone know why the cost of the universities have skyrocketed? Do they offer a better staff/student relation, better equipment, better buildings, do they pay their staff better...? I honestly don't know but since a lot of the universities are non profits the money is not going to their shareholder's and if I understand the article correctly the (inflation adjusted) amount of money the government provides also has not decreased.

Since there are by now probably a lot of readers who go back to the book and user it as a reference, is there any chance that you include new topics / extra chapters with more advanced topics? Would be great (+ you could charge me again... ;-).

Please add ruby

Sound awesome but unfortunately it seems to not work if you don't use the US-English version of Gmail + even after I changed that I received the following message after hitting the "sign" link: "error: HelloSign couldn't parse your attachment."

The US price does not include sales taxe (19% in Germany). If you take this into account is's still more expensive in Germany but less than 10%.
