It would be nice if this had an encryption feature, so that it could be used in public and used to send more sensitive information. Do listening browsers require the extension or just that the Dev version of Chrome? Is there any information

It seems like your goal is to be a better search engine than Google, and focusing primarily on the command line. What is the reason for a developer not wanting to type into a normal search engine a few keywords about a coding issue? This co

Thanks for posting that. It's good to know that data is somewhat protected after bankruptcy if a company's privacy policy is in favor of it. Here is another good article on that particular subject: https://www.turnaroun

I haven't looked for any precedent cases. TRUSTe was suppose to do something similar, but it's seal doesn't mean much anymore (not that it ever really did). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRUSTe Medical re

You are assuming that a Privacy Policy is legally binding, it's generally accepted as not being. In the example, Amazon can do whatever it wants with the data. Data submitted to almost anyone online (maybe with the exception of large c

I understand the two sides, but what's the difference to the consumer who has a Newegg account but does not want Amazon to have their personal data? In the end, Amazon would end up with the consumers data, so to the consumer there is n

Can you better explain the difference please?

I do agree but there are some huge flaws with this that need to be worked out first. How would you sell one company to another? There isn't much difference between a company being sold because it's being acquired and a company&#x2

I see your point about businesses being unsellable. What's the difference in Facebook acquiring WhatsApp's customer database via purchasing the entire company and it being sold numerous times during a hypothetical WhatsApp liquida

It depends on who you ask. For the consumer, it's a pain to have to manage several identities just to have a shred of privacy when using the internet. For the company, they always want the most accurate data, so that it can be cross-re

It's harming other businesses too because people are much more likely to put in false data in order to avoid this situation.

The "we will never sell your data to anyone" in a Privacy Policy effectively means nothing at all. Why are there not consumer protection laws in place to prevent this? In my opinion, in order to sell customer data you should have

It's advantageous to have both environments pumping out new technologies, obviously. The environment at Google and MS is that they have near unlimited resources (legal, monetary, intelligence, computing, patents) to create a working pr

This could be done without changing anything on the site. Just create a new page that can be accessed via options which lists the last 10 votes and a delete button.

Somewhat, but our brains haven't had millions of years to develop the ability to "see" sound, like bats cat. A human generated "click" is much different than a computer generated series of sounds which represent an

There is a lot of wood that doesn't float, I guess the options were to put dense wood and less ballast or wood that floats and more ballast. I think it's oak and is just saturated with water though. Here is the "global wood d

This is awesome, great job, I think you've just given humans echolocation. If someone was given a similar device at an early age that was semi-permanently attached to them, would their brain possibly be able to create a map of the room

Unfortunately it's likely that many many types of animals take advantage of low-altitude wind-streams, especially during migrations. But maybe we could place several of them into the jet-stream (at 10-15 km) which is higher than all bi

Restrict airspace access for densely tethered wind-farms and if they are needed closer to cities then we can figure that out later. I was thinking some sort of central tether connecting a large group of them then either directly beamed or d

I personally like the idea of wind turbines being tethered high-altitude blimps. I assume the high-altitude ones could be higher than birds fly. They could even be used as in-flight recharge stations for drones.

Current largest prime: 2^57885161-1 So take random prime numbers larger than 57885161 (such as 57885167), and find a script that can calculate with numbers that high using EC2s server constraints, then see if 2^(large_prime_numb)-1 is prime

It's amazing that we can throw nuclear weapons at both of those huge objects (volcano and meteor) and there is actually a chance that we can prevent them from destroying the world. In other news, terrorists and other enemies of the US
