Well, I was being sort of sarcastic about it. Fact is, the vast majority of people prefer pleasure over pain .. all time, although not-pleasure (or pain) is one of the few guaranteed things in life. Pleasure is optional, pain and sufferi

Frankly, I don't really care. Really. It might be the greatest tool ever created.. There's too much great software and not enough head space to fit it all in. This proliferation of tools and services hasn't achieved the prove

Just watched the "how it works" video and I'm less than impressed (can anything impress me these days?). "Why constantly check e-mail when you can get a text message when anyone important e-mails you..." Actually, I

I disagree. I often procrastinate on the things that I really really want to do. My explanation for that is not the fundamental lack of interest in the project, but the hidden fear of failure that accompanies every project that I work on. I

Just procrastinated for 10-15 minutes setting up Instapaper on my machine and on my iPhone and testing it out. Looks good. Now I can procrastinate more efficiently :)

What worries me a lot is the proliferation of these puzzle solving interview sites which waste candidate's time and prove almost nothing except that the candidate can solve high school olympiad problems. Many companies require this as

Yes, packer looks good. But it's a bit overkill for my use case and doesn't really solve the "time" issue (or does it?). Somebody could use packer and publish the artifacts on a website, were I can download the desired

That's really nice. I'll remember to use it whenever I need a linux box. However, I'm not that interested in a zillion flavors of Linux. I would be willing to pay for a box which comes with Windows and Visual Studio preinst

I'm a vegetarian for spiritual reasons and also because I don't agree with causing suffering to other species. If there's a fly in my room, buzzing on the window, I would open the window and let it fly away. If there's a

I find it very hard to believe that those excreted drug residues don't react with detergents, chemicals used for cleaning, oils from foods and all kinds of other pills, drugs and plants that end up in sewage. Does the study take that i

Sensationalist clickbait title. There's mention of 4 i-series executives leaving (BMW has over 100,000 employees), which is somewhat expected, given that the article mentions that i sales haven't been stellar. True, I haven't

Holy moly, that's a very curious side effect of technology on culture. Crazy cyberpunk look necessary to avoid computerized detection. I can see this being the norm or strictly banned in the future.

I don't see why this can't be done in real time. Point your phone towards a person in a cafe and immediately figure out her name, age, maybe relationship status, social class, augmented reality style. 5 minutes later accidentall

It was spot on for 30% of the images, but wildly inaccurate on the rest. In fact, I assume this is a crowd sourced training for the tech.. Kind of disappointing, but at the same time I understand that this task is not trivial at all.

I'd say we're in a bubble of talking about bubbles. Financial press is so boring and unreliable. One day there's a deep crisis and China is collapsing and oil will never come back and the honeymoon is over and a week later t

I think the conclusion can also be read like this: A social system were everything is for money is deadly for some. I wonder if the same conclusion can be replicated in countries with more social protections (Scandinavia for example).

LSD and psychedelics are the next frontier in science IMHO. And I don't mean just neural science, psychology or psychiatry. It seems that these substances hold the key to how the brain "produces" reality and that could open
