Wow! Really - this is the one patent-restricted feature I was hoping they were going to solve. I'm curious if a decent quality blood oxygen meter could give me additional data about my sleep apnea. I've previously trief several bl

How can they build something commercial/grid-scale when not a single research-level reactor truly generates net energy out, and none can do it anywhere near continously enough to be of any practical use? This news is either based on mi

It's pretty bad, but smart people do stupid things all the time. Hopefully he learns from this mistake. And as pointed out, it does not automatically make all his prior decisions bad - we can actually analyse them each on their individ

Thank you Minerva was really fascinating. The movie "Rose Island" about a hippie ancap seasteading micronation that ends up being taken out by the Italian government. It seems there's a long history of these ancapistans'

I assume Honduras was a country desperate to attract foreign investment? Special Economic Zones worked very well in many other countries. It's not hard to understand why - give long term regulatory certainty, with strong protections fo

Somebody's wife cut your hair in her kitchen and you paid in cash, no taxes. It's tax evasion, quick, let loose 1000s of new tax agents on the population to stop this travesty! Immediately! I say deregulate everything reasonable,

I'm also thinking that we'll have "cool" humanoid robots before we'll have fully autonomous cars. It just seems that self driving is staying a "hard problem" (harder than expected!) Both would be insanely

Do you think government is best at directing charitable money? Personally I think the best use of such a fortune, 100bn say, it to invest $1m into $1m high potential new small businesses and startups. That would create the most wealth for t

Of course genetics play a role - some people can get by on long term sleep of 4-5 hours a night, while most people need more. Some people have fantastic health from genetics (and then work hard to maintain it), while others are born with a

Only use WIN on dedicated games-only computer. Please save us, Steam OS!! Once Steam OS becomes mainstream, I will never boot Windows anywhere ever again. Windows does NOT care. What kind of OS comes with bloatware out of the box??? So many
