since all brain receptor become less sensitive as you expose them to their target chemical, doesn't it means that drugs will always cause some damage and be addictive ?

I think you're taking it a bit too far. If say i sell bath salts, which aren't supposed to be consumed, why would there be a need to check metabolism/toxicity and such ? But if metabolism can transform said chemical , then su

I haven't got chemistry knowledge, but isn't the effect of say a THC analog is based on binding between THC and a certain receptor? Wouldn't it be possible to offer kits or services for chemical manufacturers, to test the lev

At least in embedded systems, this looks like something that can be done the open source way. The success of the arduino and the mbed in building popular ecosystems has shown us that. I can see some better version of the .net micro framew

Regarding IP: The important and hard part(if you want this to solve problems and create businesses) is to expose creators/entrepreneurs to good problems , and connect them with domain experts and the relevant knowledge. This way, you l

If you're interested in building something, I think an automated medical interview app, for use by consumers, focused on some subset seems more practical.

Similar things have been done before, for example Isabele health care, and other medical decision support systems.

Instead of a gradual reform, what about enabling a new medical system , bound to new relaxed laws and new people to control it, to exist side by side to the current system, that would focus on low cost healthcare ? Maybe it would be "l

Nurse practitioners are used in many countries with great results. Why is using them illegal ? of course it's because of regulatory capture and the general power doctors hold, which is probably the biggest reason why healthcare is so e

Are there any possible realistic solutions to the trusted hardware issue?

Syncany looks promising. It's open source, includes client encryption and support for multiple options of storage(google,amazon,rackspace,ftp and others),and it's only 8K loc of java. Of course it would still need a security revie

I didn't made any argument about public vs private healthcare FINANCING. I simple said they need more money. And i said india is good at low cost healthcare DELIVERY. Financing and delivery are seperate parts and shouldn't be mixe

At least according to snowden, PGP itself is secure , but client security is still awfull.And i believe anonimity(tor) is probably broken by the NSA. But the question is: is the NSA willing to expose it's hand to spy on some occupy pro

This is not a problem of regulation, but of general lack of money and/or agreement of social cost sharing. And some other low cost services are offered to some of the poor in India like heart surgeries, artificial ankles, ambulances, e

You're right. There's a lot of interesting work on memristor memory, which is much cheaper and faster (and probably lower power) than RAM ,And a lot of interesting work on faster, lower power 3D memory interfaces. Those and other

A lot depends on how thicker this would be and what the users will get in return.

But if they designed it with 5/10 optional popular hardware modules , and marketing about future modules that will come from community, this could really appeal to early adopters , and people with specific niches that need to be fille

Not sure where i learned about magnets. Just did some web surfing around this. Too risky for google? why ? They seem like a company who takes risks.see: automated cars, internet balloons, google wave, competing with amazon on fast product s

Could you surf the web with it in 2001 ? if so very cool.

Thanks. That's from 1998 , when building fabs was cheap. I wonder what manufacturing process their latest factory uses.

<rumor> I have a guess about the motoX phone: It will have a modular hardware component. Probably something similar to the jolla phone , which is build from two different parts stuck togheter by magnets. One part if your phone , and t

I'm not sure people are willing to totally skip privacy. One interesting data point is a snapchat. It enables private picture sharing and it's pretty popular. Another private messaging app talks about protecting the privacy and

I fail to see the value of such devices to the consumer. With android devices available at $100 with 1gb, android 4, a large screen, and huge market of highly optimised apps, what can Firefox is offer, except from marketing by carriers

It's pretty easy to add ignore flags to messages. With good encryption I think it could be hard to distinguish between real and false messages without the key , and that seems like something that can be proven mathematically.

Does advertising provide a valuable service beyond monetizing other things? My guess is mostly, no. In a world with search engines that know everything about you and can recommended great products and services for you, there's no need

I wonder if a kickstarter funding would work in this case, especially since open-source is considered a requirement for good privacy software.

This is not an ease of use problem. Using something like textSecure or redPhone is relatively easy and helps greatly with creating a private channel[1]. But there's still a huge marketing problem. [1]There's still the problems of
