I don't think it's a lie. Most web apps will not change the world. As a community, I think we should be okay with that. Mike Judd was interviewed recently about Silicon Valley, his new show, and he remarks about the difference bet

The power of the street powers tech. All of the largest tech IPOs in recent memory were organized by investment firms such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. Basically, tech in it's current iteration wouldn't exist without the s

I guess I didn't mean it literally landed on a freighter, but something similar; like a small island or something. But it looks like it would've popped up on somebodies radar at some point before it landed.

This seems like a hijack and the Malaysian incident seems like a hijack. How are there not satellite photos of the plane changing course and landing on a freighter or something? That's got to pop on a satellite image somewhere.

Told ya. :) Cool study. In all seriousness though LSD can have long-lasting effects on your personality. Also, while it seems possible you could develop a serious mental disorder from LSD, it seems unlikely; but I base that on my first-hand

Terrence McKenna talks a ton about DMTs transcendental effects in his book Food for the Gods . He thinks it literally allows us to talk to Aliens or the Other as he calls it. It's a strange book but has definitely piqued my interest i

I gotta say if you're an expert at something or at least consider yourself an expert at something: take LSD. LSD really dislodges how you view the world; it cleans out your mental system, like moving a fridge and cleaning all the crap

Side note: The West by Ken Burns is heartbreaking and super informative about the United States's expansion into the west. The Mormons and the Indians were treated very poorly by Americans during that expansion.

Why wouldn't the countries where these batteries are currently developed decide to heavily tax the export of these batteries to Tesla thus offsetting any net economic benefits of the Gigafactory? Though there seems to be enough competi

I'm surprised no one has developed a way to upload all the frames of a film to various image hosting sites(imgur, flickr, etc) and written software to piece them all together to recreate them as a single movie file.

A while back I read an article using Groundhog Day as an example how we can never have perfect information in an economic system. "The movie Groundhog Day (1993) illustrates the importance of the Mises-Hayek paradigm as an alternative

There was outright fraud in some cases but, for the most part, the credit crisis was a systemic failure. It would be impossible to pin it on a few individuals.

SF is the only city in the Bar Area that has absurdly high rent. You could live in Oakland or anywhere down on the peninsula for much cheaper than you would in SF. That would allow you to earn a large wage and still pay cheap rent. It&#x27

I think that's another possible narrative for the mind but it's certainly not hard science. There's no concrete data showing where the mind is in our bodies or what part of the brain creates it. Psycology can't answer

Thinking about thinking but not finding empirical evidence to validate that thinking. There's no science regarding the mind. Nor is there science distinguishing between consciousness and unconscious thought.
