My original was a poorly structured question - I should have asked if there was a specifically "anonomisable" discussion platform - something along the lines of phpBB. Something that could be setup to discuss free speech issues in

As someone living in India, I have considered how to set up a discussion board (like HN) that would be easy to use for users but also easy to be moderated of junk (like HN is) but still be effectively anonymous. It would allow discussion on

I personally hadn't said anything because I thought I was missing something or had poorly configured chrome, it has seemed like a step backwards to me. Thanks for confirming my sneaky suspicions.

This is cool, hat tilt to creator(s). Suggestion; I use 3D models almost everyday for mechanical engineering projects and here is a challenge that, perhaps the Yobi3D creators could address: When I work on an engineering project, I source p

I just rented an Enfield 500 off another company to ride from Delhi for two weeks. While they were polite and friendly, the level of professionalism on their site and systems left a lot to be desired. I emailed to check everything was set f

I must be missing something, was that not an OK thing to say?

Am surprised no one with the coding skills has put up a graph showing the value of a Stellar over time. A rudimentary beginning could be a derivative of these values: http://bit.ly/1o2eBJl Which is currently around $0.00035

Is that not the curse of capitalism? Its the double edged sword of encouraging people to be innovative but for that same reason you can't stop them from amassing wealth/power.

I saw this talk from Elon Musk a long time ago and he addresses some of the rocket technology being offered by other initiatives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54Q14cRsMs0 He seemed to give a very balanced perspective - I

yeah that line sure seems pretty bizarre. The article assumes self determinism for the human race but oh wait, there is this benevolent 'nature' who wants you to have unrestricted sex without all those frustrating side effects....

Interesting point. Huxley's vision of the future would become a dead end when another entity sees our pleasure-induced ineptitude as their opportunity to pounce

I would say it's not necessarily our stupidity that is our captor, but our self indulgence. Personally, my waistline seems to be expanding - this is not (necessarily) because I'm stupid, but more likely to do with the fact that I

That would be one option; my preferred, immediate option (prior to Elon Musk establishing civilization on Mars), would be to not elevate things (like sex) to the point where they own us, or can be used to own us.

There is something that feels a little dystopian about this article. Not in the George Orwell sense but more the Aldous Huxley sense. In Huxley's "Brave New World" the masses are brought under control, not by force or direct

If you imagined it like a server - you have a huge amount of loading power on the server and don't need compression there because its not needed. However, if that server is to distribute information to lower powered entities (laptops,
