How do you break out of conventional thinking like this? Awesome.

True but boring. And not a defense against a company with a truly innovative product. If you have something people really want you should have to make fewer compromises.

The problem for JP Morgan is that they're in this position in the first place. If they have so little value to offer as a company that they must rely on nepotism then they are ultimately doomed one way or another.

Doesn't this theory also apply to a stock traded on a stock market? edit: reading the wiki article, I see that it indeed can. The assumption being that there is no rational justification for the price paid. However, this assumption i

True. Seems like a basic income would be good for penniless artists as they'd have more time to perfect their craft. It would not be good for people who just want to spend their time watching tv.

Can't hop on a train without money. Can't stay overnight at a nice hotel without money. Can't buy a plane ticket spontaneously without money. Can't pay for your girlfriend's ticket without money. Can't buy

One thing your analysis leaves out is sex. While I refute the idea that the only thing women/men consider when choosing a partner, money is a factor. So let's say you're a girl and two guys want to go out with you. They&#x

This is great. Salon has just gotten so bad. The series of editorials bashing Sam Harris were really over the top. Every day I see articles on Salon that are so biased it's just hard to stomach.

Gnunet appears to be far from ready for the main stream. For anything to be useful it really needs to work on mobile, and after trying for a few hours, I can't even get it to work on my mac.

You might try Authy. It's been working well for me.

I like it. I'm always typing simple calculations into the search bar -- this is a great way to keep track of them.

No reporting on this idea ever discusses what appears to be a fatal flaw in the basic idea: there is still no incentive for universities to lower their costs. They can still charge as much as they want for an english degree and the state p

But you know why it takes that long right? It's not for security reasons. It's because they're holding it to earn interest on it -- while you wait.

Touche. The attack you mention could happen. In fact it's impossible for anyone to to prove that it can't, other than by removing the script running capability. I suppose I should be more convinced now. I guess what I would really need

His points are valid not only against Bitcoin, but against a large set of existing e-commerce sites and technologies. I think he would be more convincing if he could come up with some attacks that were unique to Bitcoin and would justify t

What is a better way to maintain a distributed ledger? Also, is it even theoretically possible to get bitcoin security right in your opinion? Is it practical?

What is the best transaction processing network out there?

This was one of my first thoughts as well, sort of. Alternatively, is it possible to model each neuron when there are only around 8k? Maybe estimate the visual, audio, and tactile bandwidth of the wasp and feed the simulated neurons a str

Please upvote this comment if you'd like patio11 (Patrick McKenzie) to someday write a book on any topic he chooses. This is something I'd gladly pay for.

Can you please write a book? Thx.

I desperately need this in ebook format so I can read it in chunks, leave it, come back to it, etc. [edit] Found something -- dotEPUB works great.

You are right. It is exciting to solve those problems. I wish I had more opportunities to do that.

Something about the last bit of advice (Find your Center) rubs me the wrong way. It appears that I'm expected to be excited about either one particular programming language, or hard computing problems. At this point in my career, it seems n

Homosexuals also have eyes. Does this mean that nature doesn't select for eyes?

I think there's a bit of confusion about what we're talking about when we say "sex." I'm not talking about the conscious desire to have sex. When I talk about sex, I'm talking about sexual selection which is the competition between member
