There are some newer journals which have open access as a central tenet such as PLOS. It's a non-profit and could always use more donations: http://www.plos.org/ http://www.plos.org/support-us/individual-membership/#make-a...

I believe that there are at least three stances on this issue. One is, as you mentioned, involvement in the current system in a positive sense (steering in the right direction). Another is involvement in the system in a negative sense (dest

Although bitcoin transactions are public, if you cannot correlate a hash to a human then they are essentially anonymous. The 'leaks' can only happen when exchanging bitcoin for traditional currency. Fortunately, there are ways to do this an

True, anyone who pays taxes has a hand in this. The issue is that deciding not to pay your taxes means that the dogs are set on you. This is not a free society, unfortunately. Perhaps bitcoin will change all of this. I've been contemplating

The most effective immediate suicide prevention available is a surprising one. It's Ketamine. It takes effect very rapidly and the anti-depressant effects persist for months from a single dose. It's a wonder how SSRI's are in wide use when

My list of problems is about as long and I would love to see them solved. I've researched and thought a great deal about why these problems occur and the root cause of them is invariably humanity itself. We look at how much food the human r

It's patently ridiculous to spend even half your life working, yet alone from 18 to 65 (or whatever the retirement age is now). Why have we automated so many things yet work the same hours? There is no virtue in work what-so-ever. It is a m

I would argue that it's completely irrational precisely because it gives you license to dream. It gives you a feeling of satisfaction, that you've taken a chance which could really change your life. The problem is that it won't and that the

The cheapest and easiest way I've found for the lunch problem is making it in the office. Buy a loaf of bread, some cup-a-soup, ham, cheese, pickle, whatever you fancy and then make fresh sandwiches every lunch. Takes five minutes and saves

There being a lot of rich retirees there who don't have this problem does not indicate that McAfee is wrong either. Given the rampant corruption, perhaps they are paying their protection money while McAfee opted out.

A few of these are not nootropics but cognitive enhancers. Difference being that nootropics are extremely non-toxic or neuroprotective. Another way to put it is that nootropics are a subset of cognitive enhancers (safe cognitive enhancers,

I think that there is a middle ground to be found in this aspect of development. On the one hand, you don't want to overengineer your code. On the other hand, requirements will change. Based on this, I personally design object models to b
