The irony of Krugman writing this is palpable. He is exactly the type of pundit that the world needs Nate Silver to counterbalance. He on the left, and his ilk on the right of the political spectrum, never miss an opportunity to try and fit

You're right of course on this being a legislatively driven requirement. This presents an interesting case study on how the sclerotic nature of a legislative (or bureaucratic) process sometimes restricts adoption of beneficial technolo

Not sure why you're getting downvoted for this comment, but I agree with what you're trying to say regarding storage. Granted, of course there are some survivability and hardening considerations to take into account for this appli

Kind of fun, but I agree with some of the other comments that it would be interesting to see what would happen if the app made a move every 15-20 seconds based on the vote tally in that time window.

Unfortunately even if this is the case (and color me skeptical given the sheer volume of media misinformation that this story has generated), the cockpit voice recorder only records the last two hours of data, so regrettably we may never kn

You would think that these organizations would realize that and at least leave their apologists alone, lest they risk something like this occurring. The fact that they would go this far with one of their biggest allies only goes to show how

My comment was hardly tearing down Wolfram. I stated pretty clearly that I have nothing against him and that he's a genius. I was simply pleased when I saw it was something different.

When I clicked the link, I was certain it was going to be Stephen Wolfram. Glad to see I was wrong :) Nothing against the man. He's a genius - it's just that he's EVERYWHERE. In all seriousness, this looks really cool. It is

Snowden was literally the catalyst for taking this entire conversation up another order of magnitude in interest. It's questionable this topic would even be at SXSW if not for him, much less headlining it. The congressman's sugges
