I don't like it. I don't mind waiting to see what happens - I'm actually kind of curious to see how it changes the community - but my guess is it will decimate the number of comments per thread because it filters the signal a

"You should be optimizing your time to get the most value out of it." Why? What makes that lifestyle any better than the lifestyle where you sit back and chill?

Could you return the actual code of the algorithm that could be loaded and used during runtime (for some languages if the user wants it)? Seems like having the user send in the data and running an algorithm as a service would take a lot mor

The point the author is trying to make is that we should have provide more programming classes in high school, which people have started pushing for... but the problem is there are not as many high school teachers qualified to teach AP comp

It's not open source. The Linux client for xflux, the proprietary executable that f.lux runs on, is open source. Redshift is an open source Linux alternative.

The next great civil rights movement should be to get people with mental health issues the help they need so they don't behave that way in the first place. I can't blame anyone for being scared of the internet when they're th

That's a good point, I'll have to think about that more. My initial thought is that at least exchanges wouldn't be limited to currencies with that vulnerability. Most small currencies would also have limited or no initial val

Right idea at the wrong time maybe. A large proportion of the US didn't own a PC 15 years ago and some people still thought the internet was a fad, I'm not sure what PC adoption was like in other countries. There are still some pr

I don't think it will be viewed as a currency (I agree with Krugman), but I do think it could viably be viewed as an asset backing a currency. Here's my idea: There's nothing stopping cryptocurrencies from eventually becoming

Ann Arbor is where I went to school! While I was there I had a living situation like a co-op (8 of us living in a large house with a few rooms occupied by random student and non-student subleasers who would come and go every few months), an

I briefly looked for co-ops when I moved across the country to a city where I didn't know anyone after college. They were popular at my school, so they had to exist in some form in the real world, right? But I found nothing. It would b

That's exactly the purpose of basic income. If a billionaire businessman replaces all of his workers with robots, all of his income goes directly to him. The laid off employees are now competing for the few jobs that are available whic

The article did suggest upbringing as a possible cause. If genetics were that big of a factor wouldn't we see the two groups dividing over time? Instead the article says that the odds of surnames having the same economic value are the

you would be 'young' longer and wouldn't have to worry as much about age related diseases at an age we currently consider old. So you might get aging related cancer when you're 120 instead of 60, sure, but those 60 years

In school I had a project that used edge detection to find certain patterns in audio samples. There were probably better ways to do it than looking at the spectrogram but I didn't pay enough attention in that class to know what they we

You're talking about children. You're saying children should be self-aware enough to take that kind of personal responsibility for their own growth?
