   But it's not justified to call it a country if you are going to compare its valuation as a company providing a social network to GDP, which is the sum total of all economic activity of the entire population.

   Is this meant as a proof-of-concept, or a production system? What is stopping me from using Firebug to change the client and issue a 'rm -rf /'-esque command to Redis? Does Redis have some kind of permission checks? Is there some interestin

   I think that, for people beyond a certain threshold on the path to suicide, putting them in a situation where basic needs are not as readily fulfilled, and where death is prevalent and imminent... is a GOOD option. Suicide rates are the hig

   I think onion routing, like the Tor project, satisfies the criteria of obscuring sender and recipient.

   Because of our balance of payments crisis. We need to stop our country's net outflow of dollars. Lauding Steve Jobs and trying to reproduce his success won't solve that problem. Suppose we all become designers of hit products that are manuf

   This scares me. While I have nothing against the wealth of Steve Jobs and his revolutionary products, what America needs to maintain the middle class throughout the 21st century is to compete with China and its ilk: raw materials, cheap ren

    I love how the article mentions Danger, Andy Rubin's company before Android. Even in a 2002 article about iPhones, Andy Rubin lurks.

    Good idea. Now that I think about it, a large object is trivial in this sysyem. You dedicate some group of contiguous pages solely to the object. This results in some potential waste of the last page, which is probably acceptable. You would

    When they said "a non-western population", they didn't mean "all non-western populations". Rice has been a staple for a long time historically speaking. But on the evolutionary time scale, rice's cultivation is insignificant.

    I started here at Google NYC not too long ago, and was surprised to find Craig inconspicuously sitting at a desk across the room, tapping away at his keyboard. Some folks around here don't even know who he is.

    If we think it's incredible to look at these high-fidelity color pictures of 100 years ago, imagine people 200 years in the future looking back at our perfectly preserved digital images.

    I prefer Timecrimes to Primer... it doesn't try to confuse the viewer. SPOILER ALERT. Also, single timeline based time travel is just plain better than multiple timeline based time travel. There are just way too many problems that having mu
