I wonder how many people know that "Myspace Tom" was raided by the FBI when he was a kid: http://techcrunch.com/2008/08/30/myspace-cofounder-tom-ander...

What about the now. What level of data protection counts as contempt or obstruction? What if I have provided the courts with all of the data, but for some reason they suspect there's more that I'm hiding? What if I honestly can not remember

I don't know why you're being down-voted, it's a valid question. Computers have eliminated a lot of jobs over the last 30 to 40 years. For example VisiCalc, did a lot of what many tax accountants charged for. It used to be that humans, most

Exactly, if these cars are statistically safer the insurance companies will notice that in a very few years. And then they will strongly encourage drivers, or should I say car owners, to get these. Especially if you are in a demographic the

In-car big screen TVs, right in front of the windshield! Two seater sized cars, but with only one set of very specious seats/recliners.

Yep. I hate flying, but would pay a lot of money for a driverless car, and sleep like a baby while I commute to work.

YES! Here is why this is great. As the industrial revolution was just starting up, many places in Europe banned this or that new labor saving invention - to preserve jobs. But not all, many others allowed the new machinery, this quickly for

the supermarkets' delivery computers gone (so they don't know what food to send where) Oh no, they'd have to use the phone and or maybe messenger pigeons, or just guess - roughly that much food. How did all of this work in the early 1900s

Make a silly joke in a reddit comment and you might get that honor. (You might also have to be an Arab-American student.) -EDIT- I'm being down-voted for some reason: http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/gaming.gadgets/10/08/fbi.tr...

The killing comes from the disruption of the food supply that occurs when Internet logistics fail. Really? You can't imagine that people would fall back on their word and paper? And that after a huge shock we would shake it off and get ba

Even if everything Steve speculates actually happens (and that is HUGE if) it will be very, very, very inconvenient, super inconvenient. But nope, nothing nearly as bad as a real war. Imagine all your electronic savings gone... that leaves

I love the Tesla guys, but I doubt they have the pricing power of BMW. In that price range we're talking conspicuous consumption, and a beamer is definitely conspicuous, but a Tesla? Maybe if you're a gay engineer dude, this Tesla will be a

Hmm.... I wonder what the political situation is inside Nokia, are the Trolls fighting hard for position or is it coming to them?

I don't think we have a preference for average looking faces. We do have a strong preference for symmetrical faces, maybe because that indicates you've been very healthy for many years. And averaging out a bunch of non-perfectly symmetrical

Good god, reading that knowing how things ultimately ended is horrible! It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive, day in and day out. Rest in peace David.

Perhaps anon was also pure lulz with absolutely nothing else behind it. But I vaguely recall their writing to be strongly pro freedom. And their most prominent vandalisms seemed to be an attempt to make a point about basic rights and freedo

What will they say when we finally understand them? "Took you long enough." I don't believe that communication between dolphins and trainers has been strictly one way. I'm pretty sure a trainer can easily read a lot from a dolphin's actio

And I just realized what it is about LuLzSec that's bothered me. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but now I realize deep down they are nihilists. That's a damn shame. What seemed most admirable about Anonymous is that as much as they w

Yes, but like Math, not everybody can be trained in it. People either get math or they don't. I refuse to believe this. There may be some very tiny minority that truly is genetically unable to get math. But for everyone else I believe it

They're social scientists/linguists undergrads first, programmers second, but programming plays a vital role in their academic career. This is only because of the sad state of education where programming is this incredibly rare black magi

I'd generalize the advice to: Math is really important, especially statistics! I've found that makes a bigger bang to any domain expert then just programming ability.

I don't hire anyone without a code sample. The difference between my crutch and your crutch is that mine makes no implication that you're not at good as someone who codes in their spare time.

I would agree it's not so much strictly hardware as strictly Big Co. But I don't think a clean separation between development and production necessarily leads to a slow development cycle. I've worked for both federally regulated biotech sta

Maybe I'm not just that good of a developer. The last time I did something in my spare time was college. Ever since I have not gone more then a few precious weeks without being employed as a software engineer full time. And I had to fight

I am not sure what you mean? Before we did not have things like the USDA or FDA. If we maintain that it is illegal to claim regulatory approval unless you actually have it, then that gives us a choice (between tested/approved and not) which

by bh42222 15y ago
But I am not arguing we ban FDA approval. If we allow non-approved drugs, you are still free to restrict yourself to only FDA approved drugs. I am arguing for more freedom, not less.
