"Fuuuuuuuuu" -- everyone else Because now we know not to try it again (and there may be interesting things we haven't found yet). We can also review the methods and see if it can be done better.

This is a pretty big problem. I've given it some thought, but haven't cone across a good answer. Incentivizing this is hard right now. The best idea I've had is to minimize effort for negative experiments. Like arxiv, but per

Replace startups with research and you had me for a while. I had to ban myself from even reading academic papers (it's like my cocaine) and get a regular job. Academia? Naa, I don't touch the stuff anymore.

Yeah. This may end up costing a huge amount with no results. Apple (and it's employees) doesn't have much incentive to crack the device although someone might be curious and use this as a good time to look for security holes on th

Nobody seems to be pointing out that it is unlikely to be cost efficient as well (sun is free), which is what matters.

I think there's a certain category. I was an A and C student depending on how useful I expected a course to be. I also took much harder courses than my peers and social engineered my way into honors classes (I sucked at calculus, but t

911 is synonymous with any fast communication system. Had the internet developed before voice communication; 911 would still exist (in a different form).

This might be because she's a model; a job where intellect isn't a huge factor (smart people can be models too, but there's no requirement). People are dicks, but taking advice from a model is probably a bad idea. Male models

I would love to do something similar with undertale (or fez) right now, but I pretty much assumed no interest. I may have to do this.

He's correct, but it wasn't something I noticed until he pointed it out. Your intent was understood.

Stack overflow has an interesting difference to most websites: their users provide their content. Users that run ad-block are still potentially valuable.

The article is asking why this is the case. My guess is lack of ports, which would have facilitated business in the past and created a cultural tradition of business in other areas.

Even in theory we can pretty much guarantee a non-objective outcome because that's the lobbyist's intent.

It's hard to have a meritocracy when a limited set of people make decisions for (or otherwise own) the company and are beholden to VC money. The flat structure is better for creating new products than squeezing money out of what exists

I get by with less in America with no problem, mostly out of habit since I can afford 'nicer' things. Buy beer at a store (you can get more than one for less money!), cook food with your friends, don't buy overpriced coffee a

The whole thing seems politically motivated from an outside source. Precedents at MIT effectively encourage this behavior (the law isn't a moral absolute; you've broken the law at least once; I wouldn't be surprised if I&#x27

I worked in a lab with a professor who spent a portion of time training new graduate students to be creative again (tons of handouts on it and so on). It can be taught to some degree; our brains don't just stop changing completely in a

I don't think it would ever happen, but the only real counter I can think of to that is modifying our brains to have intermittent periods where they are more plastic than normal. Honestly, our current system works really really well...

We often call things 'The Real World' when we see how harsh and unethical the current reality often is, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for a more ideal one. We have to work within those real rules, but it woul

Research methods and how to produce quality research. Also, basic science. Basic income is an expensive subject, look for some cheaper, but still impactful stuff.

Doesn't it do the exact opposite of this? Bill Gates is continuously accumulating money from various sources.

So basically the cloud model removes power from the consumer. Nothing new here, but a good reminder.

One said time, which I agree with, but I'll add stability and power. Having enough money to live for 10+ years unemployed is nice when suddenly your current job is driving you nuts. Or you want to hop into a new field. Or start a susta

It's still up to the claimant to prove it was used on them personally and in some damaging manner. This has been a problem for people (Wikipedia) suing the NSA. Despite statistical analysis showing it's probably true, there isn&#x
