If we weren't in all of these wars, we could afford to cut your tax rate in half (and every other federal tax rate) without changing anything else. That's equivalent at least an instant 10% raise, maybe more depending on your tax bracket.

There is a large amount of pollution cause by the manufacturing of cars, which can have a net benefit. Another benefit is that you could use very efficient cars for the trips that they are suited for like going shopping for groceries by yo

It seems lile that could be fixed by tracking which articles a user clicks and disregard an upvote if they didnt read the story or they read it 5 seconds ago.

The cost to conduct a survey like this would be really interesting to know. I would love to see a kickstarter for surveys. Maybe survey's are too expensive though ...

If anything you are only helping them with this action (despite what they think of it). You might listen to more libre music if commercial music wasn't available for free. You pay them with your attention. You will still be recommending

I agree with your description with how a lot of people feel, myself included, especially the part about meetups. However, 'you' don't have put up with grownupness and dinners and clean houses and fancy meals if you don't want to. If you l

Thats why we use ssh/tmux for our remote pair programming. Works pretty well if your "ide" is already in a terminal

I dont think that by itself is enough to claim that one state is more or less ethical than another. Another metic you could use is who causes the most deaths, in which case the US is pretty high up on the unethical list.

I'm excited to see cheap memristor devices that provide access to their computational ability.

Yeah, this has helped us a lot. I am one of a few remote and when I can, I skype into a big screen in the central office. The account there is set to auto answer calls from its list of contacts so I can call in whenever I want. I often l

This is why I can't wait for more integrated speech/command based interfaces. It is great for infrequently used commands: "change this icon to open with safari." Only someone highly experienced with the details of a UI are going to be abl

I'd like this to happen, for all of the privacy, freedom and decentralization reasons. I think the only way it is actually going to happen is if computation speeds/prices significantly outpace network speeds. Take for example an AI that wa

This reminds me of people who aren't willing to drive across town to save $250 on a $15000 car purchase, but who make sure to buy their groceries when they are on sale to save money ... Just because you recently spent $15,000 doesn't mean t

As long as we have an uneven distribution of wealth, we will have an uneven distribution of power. It doesn't matter what laws you try to pass or what government you try to have. The entities who those laws threaten will fight against them

The guys at open source ecology might not have the business model, per se, but I think they're headed in the right direction. Rather than selling the 3d printers (and related technologies), 'sell' a community which requires of you only 4 ho

The interesting part is the 'long tail,' to borrow for the previous decade. If you can print cars, you can print open source clothes, homes, appliances, solar panels, greenhouses, robots and more printers. Everyone who currently works a fu

I think its both. While it may be possible in your group of friends to quit Facebook, it might not be so for other people. Imagine quitting the telephone. People were social long before the telephone was around, and can remain so without

We must also reign in the power of the few, because as long as money and power are highly centralized, no matter whose hands its in or what type of oganization it is, they will be, by definition, in power and our society wont be equitable,

The point of the treaty is to come to an agreement between two governments. If the provisions of the treaty are not legally possible than the treaty is meaningless. For a more extreme example: If the US congress signs a treaty with Englan

I would also be interested in how this could work. I've tried setting up VLC as a video phone, but the lag time was horrendous and that was when calling localhost.
