Not sure exactly how it works, but it gave me the thought that making collecting ads into a game could be fun. For example there could be competitions for getting specific ads (the most expensive loan, the weirdest health treatment, and so

Thanks for the story, I had no idea that it is such a big issue in the military.

From what I have seen I really despise Big Bang Theory, but I loved HPMOR.

I have to admit that stories like that definitely factor into my travel decisions. From the outside, the US looks like a very scary place. Perhaps it is all just overblown media stuff? But for the time being there are also other nice places

Can you at least drink beer once you are in the army? I can only imagine being in the army without beer could be very, very difficult.

I think you are probably not open minded enough to enjoy it anyway, so in your case I'd recommend to skip it and sticking to something with more complicated words and more obfuscated and mysterious messages that allows you to sustain y

I only looked at it briefly and also wondered about that. If it's not open source it doesn't make sense.

How about BitTorrent Sync instead of Dropbox?

Not sure how art schools in the US work. A friend of mine who went to art school in Germany used it to build his network, which then enabled him to survive as an artist. For example there were lots of "students of year x" art exhi

Ah OK - somehow I didn't register that as "news" :-) Edit: Why the downvotes? As a kid, 30 years ago, I would frequently pass by the Echelon antennas. I was told they were for spying on communication. So I thought it was a gi

Did I miss anything? Why is Germany supposed to be pissed off? I think Obama only visited last week?

Is this point and click adventures for people whose first encounter with computer games was farmville?

Yes :-)

I can actually see myself enjoying this, for example outputting some cat pictures to soothe the pain of debugging. Is there an overview of all the memes? I feel like I could update my internet knowledge a lot through this. Edit: I put up a

Problem is the target group has no buying power.

I think one problem is that we tend to think about this in terms of willpower. To be awesome, all we have to do is really want it and work really hard, right? I suspect in reality it is much more about habits. Example: write a book by writi

Why would feminists get to decide what is acceptable porn?

by Tichy 13y ago
It has been shown that monkeys are willing to pay for porn, too (or apes or chimpanzees or something, can't remember the exact differences).

Also perhaps "porn addiction" is a good argument in a divorce case?

Obviously it is a problem for some people, but the distinction that it's not a problem for everyone is an important one.

Find it hard to trust that piece, too many possible agendas come to mind that could motivate publishing it. For what it's worth, I've been watching porn now an then and it didn't spiral into more and more kinky and what not s

Since you can already code, I'd say you are already ready to go. 35$/h is not a lot. Why not start now? You could take up a job you can do from home. Then you could still adjust the hours you bill so that they seem fair to you. Li

At the end of the day the ads hurt my brain. I don't think you can really block them out mentally, as you claim. Can you block out really loud noise, for example? I don't think the brain works that way. You might think you blocked

Well usually philosophers just don't use logic properly, which really sticks out if you are trained in logic. So it might not be a coincidence if LISPers are not that impressed by philosophy.

I don't think that's the lesson at all. Even a feed reader that charges 5$/month is more likely to go broke than Google. Charging money doesn't guarantee success.
