You're discounting the argument that the fast lifestyle isn't a response to poverty, but a response to expectations of poverty. Environment as it affects someone born into poverty without examples of persons who grow out of it, rather than

Snarky response is that we don't need hypothesises at all anymore, we understand enough of the universe to be rather ok. But there is value in accepting this theory, which I might add is reasonably well accepted as far as most other mammals

Realized what, exactly? The tagline, that the web means the end of forgetting, or some facet of the content linked? We're figuring out that facebook is evil, we're figuring out that our employers don't like us having 'fun', we're realizing

He's demonstrated being a pretty poor businessman. He's traded down, knowingly, on multiple occasions, and furthermore declined trades of businesses, which generate income, for cars, which depreciate.

While the site is inherently predatory, and while a lot of the problem of facebook comes from those problems, outside of the teen bracket, persons are very much concerned with privacy issues, especially where their employment is concerned.

As a lifelong ADHD child, I do agree. Take a pill, write a report for 8 hours. But attempt a poem, a piece of story, and nothing happens. Attempt a daydream...nothing. You're very focused, and that means you struggle to talk to anyone...bec

Assume a slower moving boat which fires quick boats forward. In that the 'bullets' would interact with the pattern first, you have a possibility of the things destroying everything in the path of the slow boat. Could work, but the boat itse

The reason this isn't the accepted ideal method for building an AI is that it -doesn't build an AI-. A decision tree attached to your incoming email doesn't constitute an AI; its only automation. It isn't making decisions, and a structure o

I'm not trying to be negative, but when your company is one person, a five man startup with a similar idea -is- a huge company, especially if they don't have to work ten hour days. Things are relative, and the megacorp isn't the only compet

Singularity's a fun one, because its got more vectors than just Moore's law. Or, anyway, Moore's law is being played out in a lot more vectors than just IT. Drastic life extension would count, as would 'a mature nanotech', matter edition on

I'm suprised that no-one's suggested aliens arriving, an event which can arguably be getting more and more likely as time goes on. The trick to that statement being that we don't know where the baseline is...at .00001% likeliness this year,

2040 is likely a safer bet. By 2020, America would more likely be resentful than awed. Give us time for a generation to come up with China in the lead.

I'm buying into Scott Adam's declaration (which I would like to claim I came up with on my own before I was exposed to, but cannot clearly remember...) that they'll bounce back. Exxon did rather well, even while being fined a year's worth o

I've tried wordpress and Blogspot, and prefer blogspot, found its presentation slightly more customizable. It isn't, exactly, what I would like, but I can't say I'm willing to design my own. If I was, I'd consider finding free hosting, or h

How is the fact that Chinese businesses want the chinese people to think that they're american businesses a proof that china is on the rise? All it shows, is that China thinks the west is better. A point in time of china's opinion, not even

Beyond Privilege Guilt, there's a case that people are a great deal more complicated than just a few character stats. High IQ is often taken as a declaration that an individual will succeed, and indeed, on the average, it is, but the averag

If its his point to claim that intelligence tests are bunk, I'd quibble with the declaration that any person, or even any academic, could make an 'intelligence test' pertaining to their particular field: that's not a test of intelligence, b

Facebook only displays a url in facebook's convenient box where images should show up (the thing, where, if you add a URL to your status, it parses the page for the first image, and includes). I'm assuming there aren't any images small enou
