Perhaps a pseudoanonymous currency's value is correlated with the oppressiveness of the local govt? I can imagine circumstances where someone might be willing to pay a premium for BTC solely based on their desire for the privacy of their t

They might change their tune if they get a letter from a lawyer or two. Can't imagine Apple, for example, likes the idea of third-party ads overlayed on their site.

What if you were, say, Facebook, and had lots of visitors, good time-on-site metrics and you were still searching for ways to grow revenue? Might it make sense? Seems like their entire userbase could combine to mine quite a few bitcoins..

jlgreco noted above that karma has not been measured, and implied that this meant that it didn't exist. The tarantula example was intended as a response to that claim. Regarding your supposed coincidence - how does predicting karma differ f

"If it exists, it can be measured." So the new tarantula they discovered yesterday didn't exist until it had been measured? Regarding the rest of your claim - I certainly do not become uncomfortable when religion enters the picture - I was

"> So, in the sense that you "allow for the possibility of the reality" of karma, do you similarly "allow for the possibility of the reality" of unicorns? Yes? No? Care to answer that? Although I technically permit the possibility of ei

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a dogmatic thinker responds with an ad hominem attack when their assumptions are questioned. I am, I assure you, quite sane. Sane enough to allow for the possibility of the reality of karma, which y

Absence of evidence != evidence of absence. Perhaps worth rethinking your assumptions? All of the libraries in the world can't prove we're not brains in vats collectively hallucinating everything or an ancestor simulation running on sup

When you volunteer to teach ( http://www.code.org/help ), they list languages that you can teach, and the list they push does not include Objective-C. Nor is there an "other" option. EDIT: They added an "other" option to that list since ye

291K "app economy" jobs is nothing to sneer at: http://www.apple.com/about/job-creation/ . One of 'em is mine. I support a family of five with it. Why isn't that on the list of things we'd want to teach kids to be able to do? The code.o

Nothing wrong with Android - lots of good reasons to build Android apps. But...I'm running Xcode 4.5 on a 4 year old MBP (late '08) that still performs like a rockstar. And if you are going to build for Android (and take it seriously) you'

This is what we've landed on as a default - just seems kinda wonky. As if MacGuyver were handling our incoming $ or something.
