It is certainly profitable for a type 1 civilization to move to a type 2 civilization as long as energy consumption and population continue to naturally grow as has happened so far here. Same thing for type 2 to 3. Also, I think that decisi

I think that smaller (portable) versions are currently almost impossible to make. Square-cube law is a big factor here, and there would be a ton of inaccuracy. Maybe if it was done very well. Coil guns are more feasible and can probably be

The only practical way of making something like this work would be to collect all the photos taken ~2 hours before the bombs went off near the finish line. You could do this by searching Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for geotags and keyw

This article really isn't that good or that interesting. I understand people who hold bitcoins upvote anything that says something positive about the currency, but come on, not this.

As a student, I agree, but it's not this simple. My parents still expect me to get a job, and I need something to do other than just sit in my room all day on my computer. It's nice to have people to talk to, and I don't have any friends wh

If anyone would like a sort of API, I'll gladly provide one. I'll also see if I can add functions like that, since they should probably be there. I want to add Python and JavaScript as well if this seems useful to people.

I realize some are, but there lack of pickup by pretty much everyone else is concerning. It makes bitcoin basically useless at this point. Maybe it will pick up, but it hasn't been happening.

What, exactly, is "happening"? I'm all for bitcoin, and I think it would be kind of a cool form of currency. Bitcoin is more elegant than standard currency, but many of the interactions that happen with standard currency are not possible wi

Ok, that's a good answer that makes sense for more expensive places. But say, when someone wants to order a couple pizzas, they still call the pizza place rather than use these services. The answer might go along with yours - maybe ordering

I have never seen anyone use them or even heard of them. I mean, they are fairly popular, but it seemed to me that I and people around me should have at least heard of these things.

I don't see anything similar to what I proposed. All of those companies cost far more to run since they have their own inventory. Hopefully not being ignorant.

Ok - let's say the price of a dollar rises 10 cents. If that meant an increase in confidence, then the price would rise even more and it would go on and the price would rise really fast. In reality the price rises and some people are more c

Rising price doesn't mean confidence in the currency. If that were the case growth would be exponential (it's not). It should exclusively be the other way around.

Someone could put a ton of put options on BTC, pay several bot networks to DDoS MtGox for 24hrs, then sell.

I have been sort of an outsider on this bitcoin investing, but I know about the service. Do you really think bitcoin is going to continue increasing in value? It seems to me like people are almost exclusively buying bitcoin as an investment

This seems like it can be used to simulate a liquid well. If gravity acceleration is added, then the whole thing is blurred and a threshold applied, you can get something like this: http://www.patrickmatte.com/stuff/physicsLiquid/
