I had the chance to briefly meet (22 years ago) an Harvard Teacher who was also involved in AIDS research with UN. He was going to go to Nepal to meet local doctors and authorities. He had to "fight" to get a normal airplane ticke

I mainly use FB as an RSS reader for the bands I like (because they obviously not having feeds). It saves me time for not having to go on each websites to check the news section. And not in my main web browser. For obvious privacy reasons.

My original statement was about how much money goes in treatment research vs in cure research. Not about some conspiracy :-)

I never said someone found it and is hiding it. I'm just a bit sad that there's probably more money that goes in treatment than in cure research. It's economically understandable but humanly sad.

Didn't knew about that. If true (and I trust you on this one) that's a little relief.

I think the term "consumer base" is not heartless but in fact pretty accurate. Why not spending the probably huge amount of money in a cure instead of monitoring devices ? Well, because why kill the Golden Egg Goose ? Millions of

Considering what Almodovar stated, it's not (surprisingly) just a French theater owners lobbying problem.

I worked years ago on a project named babeltree(.org). Don't know if it's still active, but the idea (and the founder) behind it was really about making the world a better place.

It's still an hazardous bet. A whole business based on hardware that can't be replace if it brokes is a sign of really bad management if you ask me. I Fully understand that money involved could seem (and would be) a huge investmen

Well it's a little bit hard at moments when you have to read notes that are longer then the current page, and when you already read stuff form Stephen King or P.K.Dick, the story is not very original, but I really liked the concept. I

Had anyone read The House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski ? A book in a book in a book. I feel some similarities with this one.

My father and I are arguing around such questions when I try to show him that BI is inevitable. He thinks that when people don't have to work anymore due to BI, they'll get bored pretty quick. Your point is they (some) might start

I've never thought this way before, but after reading the story of that woman it hit me. You're someone, perhaps with low education, and your baby is diagnosed autism. He/she had a vaccine some times ago. As most human being

I tried the live demo on Safari on iPhone. When it arrives to the end (with the logo) it's starts flickering around 10 times. Then you can continue scrolling. I don't know if it's on purpose (distracting effect while doing yo

How do you prevent comments flood ? Imagine someone write a script calling your server with valid headers, what will happens ? Serious question I asked myself a month ago on a similar project I tried to put on.

My guess (and I´m ok it's not what is in the article) is that taxes should be on benefits and not on land surface. A 100% tax on benefits mean that there are no need to overprice the rent once all maintenance costs are paid. And then t
