This idea that the root cause of all bad legislation is political donations: it's wrong, and not supported by the data. The vast majority of political donations are made by people who are not lobbyists. If lobbyists' money didn't give the

What you're shown and what you want is undeniably a continuum.

This looks seriously promising - I love that it doesn't require user sign-up. Their site is brilliantly designed, too.

Is there a current best alternative to PayPal that you would recommend?

Building a product is composed of two (blurry) stages: creating something that solves a problem, and adapting that solution to suit the person who will be using it. Arguably, without design, there is no product - by making decisions that

That's amazing - I had never considered the way I think about numbers, but I picture them visually too. Mine go off in a straight bar, away from me (and slightly to the right). Every 10 numbers, the height of the bar increases slightly. I w

This is why it is tragic that we only start teaching programming after childhood's neuroplasticity is almost over :(

It probably sounds more exciting than it is, but I don't know! It's just as interesting for me to know what it's like for others. How do you internally visualise time? If you had to think about planning a trip to see family at Christmas, ho

Since I can remember, I've visualised time as a set of continuous spirals - years are the largest, with Christmas at the top and early summer at the bottom. The years lie on top of one another and fade off into the distance, like a slinky v

Can you imagine Fox News building something like this? I'll always be proud of the BBC.

That's exactly what this reminded me of. Very cool.

Is ~50k/yr a typical founder salary? How much does it vary from this kind of number?

Direct quote from the article: But where "Minority Report" author Philip K. Dick enlisted psychics to predict crimes, DHS is betting on algorithms: it's building a "prototype screening facility" that it hopes will use factors such as ethnic

It's nice to see America's proud tradition of racial profiling being brought forward into the 21st Century. Go, science. The deployment of this technology should not be acceptable to anybody who believes in our right to live in a free socie

It might be cool to read Snow Crash before Diamond Age; it's set in the future of the same timeline. Doesn't really matter too much, though.

The gas inside airships is at extremely low pressure so, whilst a large target, they're actually not as vulnerable as one might think.

All this is totally dependent on your personal background. It may well be easier if you're "old", since you've already had a chance to establish a career and make yourself hireable - but I can imagine it takes some balls to try to start a b

I can't agree enough. I'm British, and I wouldn't want to change that for the world. But growing up in the UK, ambitious young engineers dream of going to work for Microsoft or having a successful career within a big accountancy firm. Entre

Although I agree with your sentiment, it has been reported that drone pilots flying remote missions from the US exhibit similar problems with post-traumatic stress as those flying in-theater: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26078087/

If humans can get a kick from exploring the randomly generated terrain of a Minecraft map, I'm sure we can get a kick from driving robots around the south pole :)

I can imagine that in 30 years' time you'll be able to purchase time on drones by the hour, and stage your own robotic exploration of the Antarctic from the comfort of your living room.

It's true. We generally forget that nature == nanotech. It's like we have an standard library out there, but with really shitty documentation.

I think premium-quality foods are probably a bit further off, but something of similar quality to frozen supermarket tilapia is probably not too much to ask. Some countries already consume a lot of products made of processed, retextured fis
