In the future everyone will be producing content - not just the people that currently do it for a living. Brand-name publishers simply will not be able to compete against the masses. It began with TypePad blogging, and now platforms like Me

This is a really good question. It's funny, a little digging led me back to the same blog. https://remysharp.com/2014/12/30/vatmoss-proof I could see the location information being supplied using a Bitco

JS Bin is a service that appeals to techies. As such, it should see moderate success accepting Bitcoin! Bitcoin transactions are non-reversible, which would solve the fraud complications.

If public schools are going to succeed, then many states need to "catch up" when it comes to funding. More funding will attract more teachers, creating a stronger candidate pool. If you look at the average funding per student by s

As you mentioned, small incentives definitely don't cut it. In comapanies where thriving in high stress environments is part of the culture, detoxifying that stress should equally be part of the culture. Sadly, it often isn't, and

Half-baked response: I like the goal, but I worry that an opt-in system would be too easy to ignore. I imagine the exploiters working for Access Funding could come up with a pretty convincing pitch as to why their client should bypass such

One problem I encountered when backtesting a futures algorithm was fill rate. In real world scenarios, getting your orders filled can be a slippery slope. Latency can be a huge bust, especially as the market price accelerates away. Accounti

This trend has been very apparent to me, starting a couple years after Steve Jobs passed. I waited until July 2015 to upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite because of all the bugs I kept hearing about.

I think there's an opportunity for individuals to reclaim some of this power, and therefore value. I'm working on a solution in the form of a url shortener. We pair advertisers with the links people share. So when an individual sh

Particularly for mobile, the latest video-ad rendering is happening in JS [0]. This is because autoplay video is disabled by default on mobile, but video rendering in ASM JS / WebGL bypasses such restrictions. Yahoo [1] is doing this,

I'm minimizing the complexity of the extra step with a browser extension. When you open the extension, it hits an API with the current URL and gives you the short URL. Ultimately, the goal is to make the service accessible on every sit

If PGP was used, I wonder with what security each party guarded their PGP key. I could imagine DPR's PGP key getting compromised following his arrest. This would reveal half of the conversation -- likely enough to spawn an investigatio

AdFly is a competitor, but it is oriented toward publishers and advertisers. Everyday people who share content can still use the service, but they will have a difficult time clearing the $5 minimum payout amount.

adf.ly focuses on publisher-side monetization. We're focused on individuals monetizing the content they share through their social networks. While the traffic a user generates through a social network is less than a publisher, we hypot

A Bitcoin transaction between two parties is itself pretty obscure. As others have said, "mixing" techniques like CoinJoin [0] allow for much greater obscurity. The big misunderstanding is with services that use Bitcoin; for examp

As a developer of a URL shortening service, this is incredibly useful. Social platforms scrape the contents of all shared URLs to offer a preview in a feed. With this service I can incorporate the logo of a site's destination URL into

To take this suggestion a step further, it would be great if this new nation was run as a Futarchy [1]. The basic idea is we use prediction markets to determine if certain policies would raise GDP, and those that do become law. Projects lik
