There actually is a company, on of my friends built that does this - they're called Entrustet (www.entrustet.com) and they have something to "manage digital assets" after your death.

It looks a lot like how Greece was looking a few weeks back. (Probably still is looking in all likely-hood) Most of the national debt is written off, public services are cut or re-financed through printing money which has the nasty side ef

"He is to take the aircraft to an altitude of 27,900ft (8,500m) by late Wednesday, when the sun's rays stop being strong enough to supply the solar cells with energy." I'm just a bit confused by this. Wouldn't the sun's rays be stronger at

HL7 3.0 is a step in the right direction, and hopefully we'll see more modular EMR systems with the new mandates for 'meaningful use.' My cofounder and I are currently working on a start-up in this area, so I'm curious to what 'foolishness'

This gave me chills when I saw this. It's like something out of Ghost in the Shell.

With the emergence of decent smartphone web browsers and netbooks, it really shouldn't be all that surprising.

Isn't that already the case? Just replace "lord or lady" with the name of a large multi-national corporation (Wal-Mart for example).

I really enjoy the speed improvements that 1.9 affords, I can't help but think this will bring back the arguments that Ruby is a slow language simply because the "standard" implementation is slow.

Getting users is such a topic that it is radically different from one startup to the next. Even two start-ups in the same area are likely to have very different plans for attracting and retaining users.

Spending about 2% of current world domestic product on CO2 mitigation seems perfectly justifiable to me. Morally, or economically? A 2% drop in world gdp would lead to at least as bad a recession (likely even worse) than the one we're in

Not being able to install any application is irrelevant. The fact is, I can install a large number of applications on my iPhone, the device is readily available, and has a great web experience. The point of a netbook in the first place is t

In my experience I've found running a Cappucino app to be rather slow, but definitely +1 on the mention of 280 slides, I really respect the work their doing, especially making such a great UI Web app.

It took me years to unlearn the 5 paragraph format. I actually wish that I had been thrown into the deep end and taught to write from reading actual quality essayists like Thoreau. A part of me feels sad that the American schooling system

I actually think this will help comment quality improve. You can definitely see the difference in the quality of comments on HN from a year ago to today. Just take a look on some articles on searchyc.com. I'm not saying that the quality to
