For some smaller countries, providing the right privacy-friendly legal protections could be used to attract large multi-nationals. Iceland is already poised to take advantage of this. A little bit of legislation, a few moderate tax breaks,

I think the best model would be a $5 a year membership fee for a mailing list informing users of updates to the software. If someone is using Caddy in production, they'll want to be alerted the moment that an update is available and th

Kind of frustrating that there was no mention of the pricing until AFTER users enter all their information to request an "invite". And since I'm not making an account now, I can't delete my submitted information. Should

I think they buried the lede here! By combining the ability to determine dispersion in the signal path and now pinpointing the source, they recalculated the percentage of matter vs dark matter. Dark matter makes up 95% of the universe now?!

I believe he is referring to a thermal imaging camera, which can see heat sources. They're still somewhat an expensive specialty item. The police used to use them to look for people growing marijuana in their attics, but higher courts

Answered in detail above, but to sum it up, all the items were either Amazon supplied or FBA, so they would ship directly from an Amazon warehouse.

All the items were eligible for free shipping, according to Amazon. Some of the items were from individual merchants, but all of those were FBA (so they were warehoused at an Amazon facility). It's possible that even though they were e

This is just assuming that they'll even let you order $49 worth of items in one box. I let my Amazon Prime lapse because I was rarely using it. A few weeks ago I decided to do a bulk order. I ordered 18 items with a total of $110. They

At first I was concerned that there would be so much humidity inside of the capsule from the condensation caused by the temperature difference between the outside and the inside, but I see they've addressed that by replacing the atmosp

Agreed. The chance of terrorism is very small... Although, I think it's just a matter of time until there is some kind of accident that'll bring a lot more focus onto the industry.

The news is light on the tech side of things, but I wonder if their experience building their Aereo antenna infrastructure might have a place in this. From the video, it appears that their goal is to have a few transmission towers in a regi

That's a clever solution. Many lights have moved over to arrays of colored LEDs. The bulbs themselves could transmit data, similar to LiFi, to cars. The LED arrays could also have a LiFi receiver. To prevent hacking, the data transmitt

Man, the Tasmanian devils just can't get a break. The link notes that only two other species have been known to have transmissible cancers. Dogs and soft-shell clams. The fact that devils now have a second form of transmissible cancer

I agree that the Bitcoin Unlimited client is pretty great. In the end, it might not be enough. Ever since BlockStream poached so many Bitcoin developers with commit access and ran off the others, they've decided that their business mod

Interestingly enough, it appears that the statistics are calculated badly (hopefully not on purpose) A recent peer reviewed study shows that just 1/3rd of offenders ever go back to prison, and 11% of offenders go back to prison more th

OK, let's shift to another scenario then. It's illegal in the US to make and distribute adult films without the proper permits and paperwork and health checks. Let's say someone made a website that had Saudi girls, now living

That's a big if... and they'll be pretty hard to find. They would need to set up some seismographs and either use explosives or meteor impacts to map the interior of the moon to try to find accessible lava tubes.

@imgeohot - Before launch, you should look into a communications protocol between the vehicles. It appears to me that the new LiFi standard might be perfect. You might be able to use the laser range finders themselves to communicate between

My wife and I are planning to move next year. It might sound nuts, but we've scratched off a lot of potential places because of a lack of unlimited internet connectivity. Municipal fiber is very important to us and it's resulting

They could probably buy up the rights to BeFS for really cheap now. It was a beautiful file system, in my opinion.

One of the benefits of the Tor Browser Bundle is that they do great job making all the visitors to websites look identical. Same version of Firefox, same plugins, etc. Perhaps something similar needs to be done for hidden services. A pre-g

That's essentially how Tor Hidden Services work. The private key is used to generate the public key (and the hash of that key). The hash is the onion address used to access the hidden service. Quite a clever combination.

There is a lot of bureaucracy here as well, but people here are nice and patient. Knowing Spanish is a big plus as it's the official language. Navigation is tricky as the addressing scheme relies on naming the road and then how many ki

If anything I build over the next year gets any traction, then I was planning to take advantage of Act 20/22. The idea of having a corporation based in the US, but not in a state, is attractive because of Puerto Rico's big push fo
