I knew the government subsidized public transit, but I had no idea it was to that degree. Wow. I wonder if buses will prove more competitive if/when they're self-driving. Do you happen to know how much of that bus ride cost is for

+1 to Zelazny's take on magic. Didn't realize Changeling was meant to be a trilogy (although that makes a ton more sense in retrospect, too bad it never had a threequel). I also find his Chronicles of Amber to be an interesting ta

Ah awesome! Thanks for sharing. Definitely going to add this on my to-do list; would love to add some already-made AI to it. :D

Finally, my moment! I submit my own library, which is really meant for two players and scoring...and like much of what I do, was purely pun-driven. Maybe one day I'll add AI: https://github.com/acityinohio/baduk

Is there any group lobbying for an open source proviso from results derived from a certain threshold of government research funding? That feels like a no-brainer to me, and one which could have enormously positive economic impact.

While I wouldn't go so far as agree that it's a strong argument for communism (though I do support guaranteed, unconditional basic income myself), I do think it's a strong argument for broad public education initiatives...ima

Nice! I'm trying the ChromeOS browser + terminal experiment myself. Just bought a 2015 Chromebook Pixel LS and outside the local storage issue it's a glorious machine. In terms of terminal use, I thought a chroot would be a little

Likewise! I'm halfway through myself. I'm a huge HP fan, and the concept of a Harry Potter universe with slightly modified initial conditions taken to a logical conclusion ("taken to a logical conclusion" being the opera

Perhaps the market is in for equilibrium on the other side? Both Snapchat and toilet paper serve useful temporal utility, disappear almost immediately, and rarely contain anything but shit. Kimberly Clark (the maker of some of the most popu

Me too. I did free math tutoring for a while and it was a such a good feeling when I helped folks understand a previously difficult concept. Had a big problem with random cancelations, which made scheduling really difficult and made me less

This makes me so happy. If they get a C&D, I'm sure/hope the schematics are leaked for a 3d printed version. In the long run, you can't stop the signal, Mal.

That small change was enough to get me to uninstall the Facebook app on my Nexus 5, and while I imagine there are others that felt that way, it certainly didn't manifest itself in their numbers, leading to some cognitive dissonance on

Good point, although I'd prefer to pay less to not have Android TV (I don't think the TV platforms make any sense compared to "Casting" content from mobile devices).

Maybe Chromecast v2 could have that, alongside HDMI 2.0? That, plus 802.11ac and 2x2 antennas would make it absolutely perfect. (And probably more expensive than $35, but possibly worth it)

As much as I like Fred Wilson, he occasionally does these native ad blog posts about companies in USV's portfolio and I have to admit it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I don't doubt his sincerity; when it comes down to it, I thin
