This is a very interesting take on privacy and the direction of history. Another direction of history I'd like to compare this to is the unification of humanity. No matter what our opinions on globalization, or diversity of cultures ar

And what's even more scary is many people's desire to "extract the active components" and turn them into pills/supplements/apps right away. [Copy-pasting my previous comment:] Sleep helps replinsh brain cells -

You may be interested in this excellent course (be warned, it's pretty controversial). To me it is more of a "documentary series" than a college course. https://www.coursera.org/course/humankind

Why tricking the nature is so often the first reaction of people around here? Sleep helps replinsh brain cells - let's make a pill that does just that so we don't need to sleep as much! Vegitables are good for you - let's hav

I don't think I will be comfortable having a conversation with anyone wearing GG. I don't want to constantly wonder whether or not I'm being recorded, or information about me is being sent to a business or a government. I want to know wheth

Thank you, great write up! I'd rather see more posts like this on the front page than reviews of the latest tablets.

Cool, let's just ignore the science of "coffee is bad for you" folks. Everything has to be so fucking simple now - it's either good for you or it's bad for you. Screw the other interacting variables.

Honest question - why? How getting more people into automation business will benefit people who are in it now (us), or the economy (arguably automation makes jobs and whole industries redundant). I am all for encouraging people to study sci

Thanks you, I also find the title extremely arrogant and offensive to many people. All 4 of my grandparents fought the Germans on the Eastern Front, go tell them how the U.S. won WWII.

I like R, it's more fun to write in than, say, Matlab. But it is unbelievably slow and has very little support for web-based projects. I'm reading "Python for Data Analysis" right now, and I'm pretty sure the book is converting me. Pandas'
