I wonder how far we could get with an rPi setup..

Not necessarily, perhaps they choose not to use such technology, due to the obviously dangerous nature of it. Or maybe they will, at some point in the future, but haven't yet.

Not sure how much they raised on kickstarter, but unless it was a pretty trivial amount, it seems like there's got to be more to the story.

With all the art that's created digitally, I wonder what this sort of art research will look like in 200 years. Finding an original photoshop file on a hard drive, reverse engineering the .psd spec and discovering hidden layers they we

I wish the toolchain for setting something like this up with open source tools, on a server that you own was better.

I'm curious as well. I've noticed that one of the things that seems like a big predictor of the success of gadgets that we use in public is whether or not they force users to break etiquette, or if they can be 'grandfathered&

I see what you are getting at, but in an infinitely large universe, those events may be infinitely distant from us.

I assume that because in this metaphor we are the baby. Reduce the scenario to, say two small human villages that just discovered each other, and it's not so hard to see how our tendency is to overrun and destroy, either by intention o

Once you start treating the output as something you can make a mold out of, it makes a lot more sense. Print something out, create a mold, then cast your real parts with that mold in short order.

In what world is using a damn airplane to get the location of mass numbers of people by exploiting their cell phones considered reasonable? It's ridiculous that people aren't in jail over this kind of bullshit.

First couple of hours? That's still how I play 90% of the time.

I've had a lot of fun watching my poorly designed ship blow up in hilarious ways than I have actually getting to orbit, so I'd say yes, you can def get a long way in a half hour.

Serious question: is this not seriously illegal?

Oh wow, that's awesome! How has it been going so far? Looks like you have some momentum, what were some of the biggest challenges to overcome?

The whole business model of journalism seems broken. I'd love to see a crowd-funded journalism portal that takes the 'patreon' model and extends it to a stable of well-trained independent journalists and provides them with an

According to a study be the federal reserve, it actually is happening right now. Education isn't a commodity product so this kind of pricing doesn't require collusion between different schools.

A cursory search leads me to believe this may actually be happening: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-09/why-is-col... http://www.businessadministrationinformation.com/news/

I wonder what basic income would do to cost of living? If everyone ends up with x amount of guaranteed income, does the cost of living eventually rise by the same amount across the board and basically negate it? It seems like rent-seeking b

Did you forget to log into your other account before you replied to yourself or.... I'm confused about what's happening here.

You'd be surprised, I recommend you look into it a little bit it's pretty disturbing how a simple traffic ticket can be a ticket to prison for people who are too poor to pay it.

People are entitled to their opinion. I think the issue is that due to Notches success people attribute more weight to what he says. In reality, I think his comments were just those of another Occulus fan who'd hoped things would head

It sounds like he could reasonably be considered the game designer. Considering the number of people in their 50's let alone 80's who've never bothered to learn the first thing about technology, I'm pretty inclined to gi

I wrote the parent comment, and I actually think his reply was worthwhile. Ideas are things that should be challenged IMO

by TrevorJ 11y ago
I understand what you are getting at, but technology and complexity expand at an extraordinary rate in our world, thus reinventing new terms for old ideas is not an innocuous thing, it does real harm. It silo's people and ideas that sh

Tangentially related, I found this podcast episode on the subject of wealth disparity to be hugely interesting: http://freakonomics.com/2013/09/26/would-a-big-bucket-of-cas...

My previous comment was pretty tongue in cheek, but thank you for the explanation, that's really quite interesting. I wonder if it is possible that the 'useless' or 'junk' DNA is mostly stuff that becomes important

What if all that 'junk' DNA is actually the real valuable data and life is just a big self replicating eventually consistent database?

I really hate the corner of the tech industry that takes old ideas and renames them and then goes "hey look at this new trendy idea I thought of!". Just because you move the user interface off the screen and into physical space do

I have a theory that big, product driven companies benefit from having somebody up top who just keeps saying "No, it's not good enough, find a way to make it better."
