You sound like a person who doesn't really know what he is talking about. The data in this article shows some trend in two countries 10 years ago and then draws some grand conclusions on the business model, which is absurd. If you look

Bill Ackman was wrong about Herbalife. According to wikipedia, he lost between $400 million to $500 million by shorting Herbalife last year. What that means is that other investors disagree with his (and this article's) analysis of Her

How much depends on what day you sell it. At current prices I guess you would be a multi-millionaire.

Could you share a bit more information about how well it works for you ? Are you making an income comparable with a 'decent' corporate job (eg. 100K + a year) ?

So we meet the aliens, we communicate with them, we become friends, they share a bunch of technological discoveries with us.. Then what ? We travel some more ? If we can travel parsecs to meet them, wouldn't we be supremely technologic

But let's say what we really hope for is true. What if we somehow discover that a large number of these planets are teaming with life ? What then ? How would that help us ? Spiritually, economically ? Wouldn't that make us feel ev

Most multiplayer games are quite playable over the network. The difference is that the graphics are rendered locally and the world state is streamed over the network. A fast enough pipe (100Mbps fiber is quite common and cheap here in Europ

Here we go again. Let's enumerate the technologies which are shit: HTML is horrible CSS is an abomination HTTP is wasteful, slow and old C++ is a horrible language (Linus Trovalds) C is dangerous Java sucks .. I'll stop there and

What's wrong with dying ? I mean, obviously people want to live longer for some (mostly selfish) reasons, but isn't dying part of the 'living' deal ? Dying is similar to being born - your whole universe changed when you

I've been using JUCE for various project for about 5 years. I really enjoy coding with it, once you understand the naming convention (which is different from everything I've used before), it's quite intuitive. If you use the

Oh come on. Everyone is so fucking sensitive these days. We now have psychological terms for every little emotion and behavior, but come on, put these into perspective. Our grandparents would slap you in the face for calling this an abuse.

I see many such articles lately and all of them have the same argument: bitcoin doesn't fit well with the current economic theory and hence it's a NO. The fact is, Bitcoin doesn't and will not fit the theory. What it will eventually do is c

First off, you are not a loser. It is a word that you decided to label yourself with, it's totally arbitrarily chosen and not based in reality if you really think about it. Second , this is not your last chance. Life is a collection of trie

Depression is a long period of negative thought patterns. The person is locked in a loop of insatisfaction, disappointment, health concerns, feelings of wasting life (guilt), followed by feelings of worthlessness. It is a terrible place to

Looks very psychedelic. It's interesting how simulating a variable speed of light creates the same visual effect as that produced by ingesting psychedelic mushrooms or LSD. Not just the color spectrum, but also the distance/space distortion

I guess you're talking about node.js . That, of course is a hot topic today, but I'm confident that this problem is solvable. That's why I called it 'node.js-ish', meaning a backend that can do similar things as well as or better than node.

Agreed. Today's technology - CoffeeScript + Backbone.js + node.js-ish backend would make it a lot easier to develop something like Wave in a couple of months by one or two developers (plus maybe a designer). Looking at the app I'm building

Facebook is a dangerous social experiment. It's not a 'virtual passport'. Rather, it is a 'virtual bank', except they don't store financial information about the users, but everything else. And that is an unimaginable amount of power. Give
