I'm curious how well this thing can "maintain distance between the capsule and tube walls". It seems like this is a much tougher problem than simply levitating the whole thing off the ground where the forces are relatively st

If you don't want to read this stuff, I would highly recommend Pocket (aka ReadItLater). You use an addon in your browser to bookmark articles, papers, videos, or whatever and Pocket will download it to your phone. You can then read yo

I don't understand why we even use terminology like "loophole" or "allows". I don't think the NSA really gives a shit about the legality of any of the this.

IMO just finish chapter 14 and you've basically finished the Godel portion of the book. The rest felt more like Hofstadter's random musings on AI, DNA and some other topics (some of which felt outdated). There's some crazy an

I think thats only true if you have a lot of faith in the company. If you were guaranteed greater return on reinvest, of course that would be better. But all you're getting is less (or no) money now and the promise for more money later

Returns though lockers. You don't like it, you bring it to a locker (ie 7-11 or college campus) and Amazon will eat the shipping fees.

Amazon is significantly more convenient than other sites. I was about to buy my textbooks today using Bigwords and got a total around $220. I went ahead and added everything to the shoppings carts of 4 different websites. Just to compare, I

Sounds like free advertising with a very likely possibility that they never have to pay a dime at the end of the day.

Thats not so different from how it is now. Instead of an earpiece, we get blinking lights to micromanage away inefficiency and reduce error.

You make crackpot sound more like a personality trait than a status.

I don't think the article asking for your sympathy. Its showing (rather than telling) how effective legalization is and how many positives have come as a result

I might be paranoid, but I've always wondered if these kinds of issues are why the US seems to be decades behind other first world countries in telecommunications and broadband access and why these services are so obscenely expensive.

Am I the only one not using paypal for large purchases? I came home just to verify my paypal account (required for purchases over $500 and needs a check to get the routing info), but it takes 2-3 days to complete the process. I would love t

Thats part of the service you get by paying for a credit card. You have the opportunity to review your expenses that month and contest any that you disagree with before you pay for it. On the other hand, if you made the purchase with a debi

I know you're making a point, but it just sounds like you were dealing with particularly incompetent cashiers. I've been to a number of brick and mortar stores where they had a system exactly as you described. They simply copied m

It's sad that the default state for most people is to have a facebook account and that you have to decide to opt out. I did the same a few years ago and its a painful process with lots of downsides (missed invitations and opportunities

Is there a way to make the change on an iPhone? Or is that change pointless since you're on an apple product anyways?

Avoiding Microsoft, Google, and Apple doesn't leave many smart phone options either.

You could reward recommendations that result in more recommendations since (hopefully anyway), people won't recommend spam to others. Then you could encourage good products spreading rapidly. But then there's a delay to the reward and users

I'm optimistic Bean could be a minor character, and then get more screen time in an Ender's shadow sequel. Ender's Shadow was definitely my favorite in the series
