The paradox of Internet Privacy is
That those who demand it tend to be people who go unnoticed and those who should demand it, as they arise great curiosity in others, generally don’t ask for it.

This large $2.4 million medical study on the effect of praying on heart surgery patients showed, that while a nice gesture, praying for others does not help them. What’s worse, telling them that you are praying for them may actually hurt them. Learning that you are being prayed for understandably worries you. USA is probably the only country in which a study like this would be done. It is...

Rosenstrasse Protests a ray of hope
Margarethe von Trotta
When you are Jewish, as I am, and you are confronted with the atrocities of the Holocaust you tend to imagine that somehow, you would have survived. It’s denial but I have been doing this mental excercise since I was a child and so have many of my Jewish and non Jewish friends who empathize with the victims. In reality, this would probably not been the case...

Take out Key West of the list of places to see...
We drove from Miami to Key West. The road is quite something. It is like sailing in your car over the Caribbean. Some of the longest bridges in the world. So in that sense maybe it is worth going to Key West. And Key West itself has some streets with small houses that are very charming, some people who look like they actually live there. But in most of the well known Key West all you see is...
Trip Advisor does not work well for Europeans in...
We are in Key West. We have been using Trip Advisor and it’s been a fiasco. Why? Well it turns out that if you are European you will find that there is a cultural divide between Americans and Europeans in matters of taste for hotels and restaurants. Maybe the cultural divide is not there with people from Manhattan or San Francisco but there is one with Middle America. The top rated hotels...
Subir impuestos al carbón bajar los del trabajo...
Es común usar el sistema impositivo para tratar de cambiar el comportamiento de las personas. En España tenemos una oportunidad y es la de aumentar los impuestos a los combustibles que se usan en el transporte privado y bajar los impuestos al trabajador. La idea es que la misma persona tenga la posibilidad de compartir coche para ir al trabajo, usar transporte público, ir andando, en bicicleta y...

Como medir el PIB y la Argentina
Image via Wikipedia
Dedicado a @LeonardoParodi @pimboleto @jorgemasson @SantiagoRoza
Hay dos maneras de medir PIB uno es en PPP y otro en nominal. El PPP en teoría es mejor ya que refleja el estilo de vida en el país en el que se mide, pero un tema crucial sobre la veracidad del PPP es la inflación. Si la inflación no está bien reportada el PPP da mal. Personalmente creo que los datos de PPP...
Acabo de estar reunido con Laura Mares Serra de Educ.ar. El gobierno de Kirchner es muy criticable en su gestión de la economía y en política exterior en el que se acerca a personajes deplorables como Chavez, Gaddafi, Bashar Al Assad, Ahmadinejad, pero en politicas sociales y educación es admirable lo que están haciendo. El plan Conectar Igualdad de darle una netbook a cada chico del colegio...
Just found out I lost €329,000 investing in FlyBaboo, an Swiss airline. I invested in two airlines in my life and I lost in both cases. In Southern Winds, and Argentine airline that went bust I lost $3.3M. If I ever speak about airlines again can you remind me not to invest? Thanks!
How can France, a country in which people work so many less hours per year per worker and is so much less entrepreneurial than USA should have GDP per capita comparable to that of USA? The three things that come to my mind are that France spends much less in proportion to total GDP in legal administration, health care and the military. The administration of the US legal system, lawyers and...
@ralphtalmont biggest energy savings come from smaller engines, car sharing, public transport, cycling, move to electric cars, thermostasts closer to outside temperature, better home insulation, better use of solar energy in people’s homes, what else?
Muchos españoles tienen una mala imagen de Israel. Pero en temas de emprendurismo es un gran ejemplo para Europa.

Twitter showed other people’s timelines by mistake today http://tcrn.ch/eTImdl but maybe they should actually offer that on purpose. Timelines are public anyway. So they could offer people to follow somebody or follow somebody’s timeline. I would be like a list. So for a while you can see what say Michael Arrington sees, or Ev sees, or Om Malik sees, you can be as informed as they...
We need a coder who can fix Gspace
I am ashamed. We developed Gspace a Firefox extension that stores your files in Gmail, we had millions of downloads, but we are so busy at Fon that we abandoned it. I would like to revive it and also make it work in Chrome. If you can do that on a freelance basis do write to me at martin@fon.es. Thanks.
