If you're interested, check out the bitcoin lightning network. It is in a very similar state to the early internet. Usable, but still plenty of room for development and still pretty much unknown to the masses. Sites can still graph a

How do you decide what level of wealth inequality is acceptable?

Poorly researched article, no citations and the numbers that are provided are grossly misleading. Ex: >40 million Americans live in poverty, while 50 million Mexicans do The Mexican poverty rate is $157/month and less in rural area

That demo video is a disappointment compared to earlier videos they showed. Earlier videos must have had heavy post-processing or a very optimal room setup because their SLAM was rock solid. This more recent demo shows the common issues wi

So what happens when the starters design something that just doesn't work? How are they getting feedback without finishing? Finishers are actually the ones I want starting the project.

Right, how is sharing a user's friend list, especially when that user has provided explicit permission, worthy of a fine? Under that premise, Google should immediately be sent a cease & desist as they allow users to share access to

Yeah, you definitely don't hear about ageism being a concern for doctors. Family & internal med doctors can work pretty much anywhere, but specialists don't have a ton of choices when it comes to geography. Positions in desir

Grass is always greener I guess. Most of the doctors I know work tough hours and envy the engineer lifestyle. There also isn't a huge gap in pay unless the M.D. is specialized, but then you have quite a few years of low-earning vs. en

The tight trading with USD may actually be an indication of trust in Tether. It indicates that at least one entity has enough confidence that it is worth exactly $1 that they are willing to buy or sell whenever it fluctuates from that pric

New Tethers are not supposed to be issued if the price reaches $1.1, I believe the article got that part wrong. Tether should only be issued based on the amount of USD that Tether has in its bank account / vaults (they have released a

I'd highly recommend checking out "Enlightenment Now". Lots of interesting points in there but one of the most eye-opening is that many environmental problems are best solved indirectly. People generally don't want to l

Interestingly, many of the things that we've though would be huge problems in the future turned out to be non-issues or much less of an issue than we thought. A few examples: -Population crisis -Peak oil & oil crisis -Global cooli

Is careful sorting of trash/recycling really a good use of time? Seems better to put that effort towards development of techniques to sort en-masse. Likely controversial, but I think there is also an argument for simply throwing hard-

I've lived in both poor areas and very affluent areas. I don't think that poor people = minorities is true at all. There are plenty of minority neighborhoods where the residents are extremely caring. Some of the worst neighborhoo

I doubt it is even undefined in this case. Ejected vs. not-ejected is very likely not even an input variable to the autopilot. So the answer would be: Autopilot will attempt to do exactly what it was doing before the pilot ejected.

If the Bitcoin community gets lightning network off the ground (it's very close), it solves the problem of micropayments. This is a problem many people likely have that they are not aware of. Ability to pay a fraction of a cent for e

Refactoring isn't always the right decision, a good boss/lead needs to carefully weigh the pros & cons. There is always some risk that refactoring makes code not only different, but worse. Corner-cases are often there for a r
