FYI jkurnia, when I load the site, it loads in French, as I'm currently in a French-speaking country. When I click to change to English in the footer, it reloads the page, still in French. Chrome 33.

Thank you for letting me know. We'll aim to repair that as soon as possible.

lutusp is right - your comment comes across as aggressive and personally attacking, as if you did have something to hide. If you 'could write a long post explaining the many inaccuracies in this article', please do so! That way Modern Microcredit can edit their article if necessary to take it into account, and also, your lenders, who will undoubtably be reading the article, will see a polite and informative founder intent on setting the record straight rather than a quick-to-anger, quick-to-attack founder who doesn't bother to defend the company.

But it said in the article that they decided to keep penetration under 1% of the population so as not to arouse suspicion.

Plus, they had a lot more limitations than your average Silicon Valley startup. (edit: second point)

I know what you mean, and mostly agree with you. What they did was actually a good thing, but for the wrong reasons. I doubt that on a high-up level, this was done for the good of the everyday Cuban person.

This is the first I've seen of this project, it looks inspirational. But how did you choose the projects? I've often wanted to do a small project just for the sake of making something nice and pretty, and improving my skills at the same time, but I can never come up with anything. All your ideas are great - but I can't imagine being able to come up with one a day for 6 months!

Also, how did the project work out time-wise? Were you working at the same time? Roughly how long did you spend on each site?

Keep up the good work!

Before I started the 180 project I made a list of every idea I could think of. Then as the project went along I was often inspired by something I came across the day before or a new concept I wanted to explore. I had a few moments where I thought I'd never have a good idea again.

I quit my job last year and have been working on the 180 websites project and now YumHacker full time. I spent on average 10 hours a day on the 180 project.

She might not have done the most complicated things in the world - I'm no expert "coder" but I've done more complex things than her.

BUT I'd bet she's a better "coder" than me. She will be rock solid on all the basics, so she has a great base to do more complicated things. For the more complicated things I've done, I was relying heavily on stackoverflow searched and the like, and although I made complicated things that worked, they were probably fairly basic mistakes and things that could cause future problems that Jen wouldn't have made/done.

Too many people these days (me among them) jump in without knowing how to swim and then struggle to stay afloat. Jen taught herself to swim first.

What about bald men? Will they be punished for not being physically able to replicate the hairstyle? It's just mental. Thank god they're not doing the same thing with David Cameron...

Bald adults and infants will be issued wigs.

> PRISM: Auth'd under §702, allows NSA to request data from tech companies about anyone who might be "reasonably believed" to be outside the US.

What exactly does that mean? Is it literally just anybody they "believe" to be physically outside the US? Or non-US citizens?

I believe this is likely to use the NSA's definition of a "US Person"

According to the National Security Agency web site, Federal law and executive order define a United States person as any of the following:

a citizen of the United States

an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence

an unincorporated association with a substantial number of members who are citizens of the U.S. or are aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence

a corporation that is incorporated in the U.S.[1]

Incredibly interesting. Anyone want to speculate on what a video 1000 years from now would look like?

My history of Europe isn't too shoddy, but it's not until you see it visualised that you realise just how much everything moved, even very recently.

I wonder if Crimea will be the next to change?

I suspect many of the different blobs will suddenly merge into one big blog labeled "European Union" one day with Russia and few eastern European hold-outs on the edge.

Another hundred years or so down the line, that blob will merge with another north American blob off the screen to the west.

We should come up with a name for this new country. How about "Oceania"?

And Europe and going east's blob could definitely be Eurasia!

We're getting somewhere.
