   If apple had spent 60 billions of dollars in R&D to come up with the exact same iPhone, and everything else were the same, do they still deserve a monopoly on iPhone-like devices to recoup their losses? How about 2 trillion? You can alw

   We'll see. I'm going to try the "here take" approach and see what happens. Methinks it'll work out great.

   Information, design, ideas are abundant. Natural resources are often limited. So intuitively, shouldn't an ideal system have different ways of handling these things?

   I want to live in a world where this is OK and expected. I expect competitors to build upon my work and I would love to see them win. Apple had already won my respect and loyalty with the iPhone and iOS. They lost my respect when they went

   What exactly did Samsung copy? The dimensions of an iPad? The API of the iOS touch framework? Either way, they didn't copy the implementation, and they didn't steal what wasn't already publicly known. Get off your high horse Mr. Harrison. S

   DNA is code, so you work around the same way... Implement the idea and effect, but as your own.

   We already have plenty of that. We can penalize the scam artists. That's not excuse for limiting grassroots dealflow.

    If you can't retrieve the information "quantum teleported" until something else bridges the gap afterwards, then how can you say that anything was teleported at all? There would have to be a qualitative or quantitative difference between wh

    Or, it's evidence that the simple idea that happiness can be exercised and controlled, is unbelievable. And evidently some of us find it unbelievable. But what if it is true? It would imply an introspecting mind that is consciously quantify

    I would say the same but instead of labeling it a myth, label it as mislabeled. Rather than equating potential with capacity, say that everybody has the capacity for potential. That's a more physically accurate description of motivation. Th

    Can you be more specific about how LiveScript is nothing like Haskell? Granted that LiveScript isn't Haskell, how are the syntactic features that are derived from Haskell not at all like Haskell?

    Well, yes actually. But most of how JavaScript sucks are fixable . The core of how the language works (imperative, prototypical) is great .

    Holy bolts, that looks like the source of the lightning is doing a distributed spatial breadth search of the potential space looking for a connection for the main jolt (the action potential event). Could this be what the brain is doing? A g

    Fallacy. Vivek Wadhwa has the better perspective on the matter. The author is assuming that "because people who believe in homeopathy are believing in something that does not follow from our scientific models, homeopathy must not work." But

    Not that I'm aware of. There are EC2-alikes, methinks that's what Eucalyptus is about. I might start looking there, to build upon their open source. Let me know what you find, I'm interested in this space.

    I started programming late into highschool as well, and only a TI83 at that. My first rendezvous with network/gui programming started in college (though I was a CS major). Now, more than half a decade after graduation and working in silicon

    nah, it's clear that work still needs to be done to identify the useful programs. if you can identify useful programs from any sludge of valid programs, well you have AI.

    I'm not Woz, but I would venture that Woz probably pitched Kim Dotcom on his new startup FusionIO, which is relevant to file hosting. Also, it's awesome that Woz turned Kim onto the EFF.
