Yes financial reward and power wasn't properly distributed in these cases. But economic impact is not just about their individual success. It's economic.

Real impact is "low" and the market will reflect that after the hype settles. There wasn't much to pour money into at the start of this tech bubble/cycle so FaceTwitter got a lot more. Every other business that doesn&#x2

I was never good at mathy things, decent at abstract art. The masses were already entertained by AOL chatrooms and ICQ. A lot of older people I see stay in touch with email, and they got each other's addresses by talking on the phone.

Facebook, Twitter, reddit, the Internet itself, the iPhone, and on and on and on—most people dismissed these things as incremental or trivial when they first came out. I would say Twitter and Facebook in particular are still are increment

Well, some types of buildings are designed to be modular. Cows are not. I'm also in favor of a single system that solves a bunch of problems than a hodgepodge nightmare. That was the vision behind NLS, the Mother of All Demos, SmallTal

Afghans eventually withered down close Soviet air support. Soviet strategy seemed to be winning with new air and infantry tactics. Until they started losing hundreds of aircraft. If I remember correctly it was mostly heavy guns and not US S

After looking at the Steam video Seeders doesn't look very marketable. The main character is stiff, doesn't change. It's almost off putting. The art style in general is sloppy and generic. Quagmire from 1993 http:/&#x2F

For a better camera I use an iPhone 4. Battery life went to hell at one point now it's back to being decent. It was a software problem. Wouldn't mind it being slightly thinner, lighter, bigger with better screen and far better cam

The more random crap we put into our environment, the more we alter lifestyles to adapt to unprecedented physical demands, the more people will have symptoms from ghost like causes. Take the same Chronic Lyme disease, gluten free crazes, ri

I rarely remembered dreams for a few years. Started taking a highly rated fish oil and remember them frequently now. So could be a vitamin deficiency.

Would be interesting to see a more detailed explanation of how Q compares to Redis at least. The low level bits, performance, RAM usage, usage comparison of the same tasks etc.

Flash sites, apps and games also earned a bad reputation for eating up CPU, loading too long, doing too much and running poorly. And it was mostly due to the culture of the developers. In the Flash vs HTML5 iPhone wars, people argued that i

The way I see it is traditional artists can make physical pieces and sell each for $1-5K only because it's an original. A digital artist making still image/3D printed pieces would have to sell many printed copies to make the same

All the guessing about where AGI/ASI will lead reminds me of nuclear weapons and MAD. There were those who guessed tactical nuclear weapons could be used against military targets without necessitating total war. We may be guessing for

I've built ok looking things in free Unity. One of the most irritating limitations was the ugly light gray theme instead of the darker gray theme. Pro is $75 per month or $1500, then $75 per month for iPhone. And you can't just st

It was really $20 then $20 whenever you want to upgrade. And it's mainly for kids with gaming rigs. Good luck running any demos on Intel Integrated Graphics, much less the editor. Unity can be used for free, with limits on certain feat
