Another pie-in-the-sky option: pick a UHF television channel and de-license that portion of the spectrum. The IEEE would develop a standard (like what was done for Wi-Fi) that lets anyone be a local broadcaster or service provider

A concern with people that write and prepare patents for inventors is that, in the desire to attack "patent trolls", the courts and laws have gone so far as to harm the basic rights of small inventors. Throwing the baby out with t

My preference is for UBI to succeed so that I could spend 8 -10 hours a day pursuing personal projects and research instead spending 8-10 hours a day doing what someone else tells me to do in order to eat. I am skeptical that UBI will work

The invalidity of non-compete clauses and the inability to take IP away from employees are, perhaps, geese laying golden eggs for California. It can be argued that they give phenomenal power to employees that figure out the right way to do

I am sorry, but to be honest your comment suggests that you do not have tiniest idea of how insulting the first sentence of your comment is. Instead of simply conveying the idea that things are expensive, the first sentence of your comment

This is awesome. I have Crohn's and am looking forward to an eventual cure. One thing I don't understand is why big pharma and VCs seem to focus on rare diseases instead of a gene therapy for changing eye color or hair color. With

Looks like a residual network (ResNet) feeding a Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS) solves the strategy optimization problem. A critique is that the game model (rules, pieces, movements, legal moves) is still bespoke and painstakingly created b
