Instigator Blog

I like it. However, I found a site that breaks it: http://www.instigatorblog.com/the-art-and-science-of-the-small-exit/2009/02/04/ ... When I click my 'Readability' bookmarklet in Chrome, the main article is removed completely, and all that's left is the blog entry's comments. Here is the exact Readability bookmarklet I'm using:

javascript:(function(){
readStyle='style-newspaper';
readSize='size-medium';
readMargin='margin-medium';
_readability_script=document.createElement('SCRIPT');
_readability_script.type='text/javascript';
_readability_script.src='http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/js/readability-0.1.js?x='+(Math.random());
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_readability_script);
_readability_css=document.createElement('LINK');
_readability_css.rel='stylesheet';
_readability_css.href='http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/css/readability.css';
_readability_css.type='text/css';
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_readability_css);
_readability_print_css=document.createElement('LINK');
_readability_print_css.rel='stylesheet';
_readability_print_css.href='http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/css/readability-print.css';
_readability_print_css.media='print';
_readability_print_css.type='text/css';
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_readability_print_css);
})();

Some hypotheses missing from Daniel's list:

o customer problem or need
o symptoms that indicate customer problem or need
o description of benefits that customer will understand
o features to support benefits / solution customer will accept

which begins:

Asking a friend, "What do you think of my idea?" is almost completely useless.
Asking a friend (or someone else who isn’t as biased as your friend,
"Do you have this problem, and how painful is it?" is a much more useful query.

the government is spending your tax dollars already

They should be spending a lot less of them, shouldn't they?

I mean, what business would ever be allowed to spend money endlessly without thought to income? Why do we let the government do it?

Besides, we already have angel funding, ycombinator, venture capital, self funding, debt funding, crowd funding, etc.

We should not be taking tax money by force from some to fund the next facebook.
