Shouldn't it be forced to store gas for future use instead if burning it? Underground storage wouldn't be that expensive and we will probably need that gas at profitable prices in the next 20 years.

Thorium is not a fuel that could be use alone, you still need an enriched uranium: http://ieer.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/thorium2009fac... So thorium reactors will still have some problems similar to uranium reactors.

Thorium has an enormous potential, but R&D + regulations cost will be huge. In case of the nuclear energy, they were covered partly by military, but that would not be the case for Thorium. I would be extremely happy, if instead of payin

Seeing all those services which do sth per git push let me think that github might create dev app marketplace...

I don't see myself using it. Anyone willing to buy these? Any particular user group which might be interested.

I think it is more about being able to listen on a port instead of active polling. Anyway, I doubt it will have a significant impact on battery life.

Agree, but cost of rebuilding cities is huge and jumping from 1 to 3 story are much higher than building 4-9 story buildings near the transportation hub.

Well that's true, but the article already points that taking a few % drivers out of roads could make a huge difference. See: http://www.ted.com/talks/jonas_eliasson_how_to_solve_traffic... You don't need anywhere 500$, most likely 2-5$ to

Great vision, but building higher building is very controversial in peninsula. That blocks transiting from car culture to more urban environment. E.g.: Proposal of ~ 8 floors high buildings in Palo Alto near the Caltrain. http://www.paloal

Dynamic pricing might be a good solutions (with reasonable maximal prices). However, it would be hard to introduce them because of public pressure.

Kickstartes is absolutely amazing. Any 3rd party statistics of project deliveries after they were funded? Delays are common, but they are acceptable (at least for me), but I wonder how much actually never delivered anything close to the pro

Neat! How about adding a link which will let you experiment using jsbin (or sth similar) with the code examples?

Great project! The only minor thing that disturbes me are a few well-known logos (Atlassian, GitHub) beyond "Thank you". I know it is a grey area of ethics, but perhaps we should encourage to put real partners (clients, etc.). If you quickl

I would love to see mosh-like solution, but client only. Pretty much a wraper to ssh which will use screen plus some predictions. I guess it could get 80% of mosh benefits without the hassle of deploying new software on servers.

Wouldn't that be banned if it became somewhat popular?

I would expect that serving huge static files is a best use case for CDNs and that is where you could score major performance gain. Moreover, IMO dealing 100 ms latency for ability to survive HN/reddit traffic is a good trade-off.

Great design, but a few things could be improved: - no preview on desktop - landscape mode is broken - no client-side caching

SolarCity seems to be a black swan[1] of photovoltaic energy. Short term we may wonder what is the right price for IPO, but long term it seems that they incredible well identified the root problem vs. cost to solve for solar system. Reminds

Sharing Google Docs to large amount of ppl doesn't seems a best way of doing it. I seen it couple of times and usually there were some problems. Are there any other lightweight tools of doing it? I could even imagine a new startup which cre

Hmm, I wonder if same apply to mega projects. Cost overran and miss deadlines a lot. What is the main reason? The fact that they are hard, because they are complex or because they are mostly managed by government. Perhaps, it is a combinati

My bad. I totally agree with you. Hmm, you might improve conversion if you put trial button above the fold. Also pre-spinning an instance for demo would be truly awesome.

Well, Kickstarter might be a bit rough if you don't have loyal fans already. However, there are multiple marketplace where you could start (iOS, Android, Steam...). However, still keep in mind that if you don't absolutely love creating game

Well Google Labs seems to be an innovative approach to product development. Quite surprised that I can't name other company which follow that approach. Could work if you have some truly passionate users. Although they missed a few potential

In real world the statistics is usually the most useful part of math. Analysing data without some basic statistics lead often to erroneous conclusions. What surprise me, that it doesn't get attention it deserves at pre-university education.

I do it with iMovie. Moreover, sometimes I rehearse some parts more times. Even more, you can upload the video and ask your friend to watch it. Probably one of the easiest advice to implement which improves quality a lot. Disclaimer: I was
