As much as I wish Bitcoin would go away, I suspect that when the US has its first currency crisis, Bitcoin will find its long term footing. It has advantages over lots of other alternatives which are either not easily converted (gold, silve

I had an issue with Mac Mail and after the upgrade it just stopped synching my exchange files correctly and that was the end of it. Called apple support, very friendly guy, talked me through it, we tried a few fixes, there was a workaround

As I understand it, the "classic" Swiss bank account is a negative interest rate account where money is held for safe-keeping - neutral country. I believe this is the same philosophy on a national/global scale. People don&#x2

The main question I have, which I don't see addressed in your description: do you have a meaningful equity stake commensurate with the contributions you perceive you made? You might need to adopt the "owner's" mentality

Let's try looking at birthrates another way: Japan might be one of the few rational countries in the world. If the economy is not growing in a way that supports having 3-5 kids per family, with a high quality of life (very important de

I agree. This article from the NYT seems very premature. I think this is part of the current media backlash which is trying to shame the cops for pointing the finger at DeBlasio. "See! You end stop and frisk and crime didn't go up

I think there is a major bias against the towers from the finance/insurance industries in NYC. Too many of their colleagues and friends were killed or impacted the last time around, like working in a graveyard. Here is a harrowing stor

This technology is so cool and so crazy that I wonder if it takes a ton of education to be comfortable with the idea that it works. I would guess these guys would have better mileage selling the product to environmentalists in California th

This sounds pretty healthy. I can't imagine anything we'd really prefer to see MBAs do, after all. Go be investment analysts or work at a hedge fund? Doesn't do much for the world. Go be a highly paid grunt in the finance arm

I will confess - I've never read a complete Hunter S Thompson piece before. I could see how this appeals to younger people - very edgy and casts everything in a nice black-and-white frame with good vs evil. Admittedly this was written

Interesting. Is there a market for shut-down services? Clearly they had "something" if people are still signing up. Might not be a $100mm exit but I'm sure someone would enjoy running this for a few million in cash each year?

I taught myself to program in .NET (VB and C#) this year and I've really enjoyed it. For someone who lacks the perspective of a seasoned programmer, I am routinely blown away by how easily you can incorporate .NET libraries to do cool

I love this site as simply an index of interesting Lego sets. But on a few of the items I spot-checked marked OOS, they are in-stock at Amazon. Impressive amount of work for a nice parent-friendly niche problem though.

This is really good news for society. Law is important but it is not productive. Also, hopefully this means fewer divorce attorneys.

Agreed. It's strange to read these kinds of articles. The author doesn't seem to realize that he is describing his own personal preferences, and not anything about society at large. All you need to do is look at the top recipients

why wouldn't any rejuvenation techniques we develop also apply to the brain? I'm sure we will have ways to maintain neuroplasticity and I think cognitively alive people with 70-100 years of experience will be able to make huge con

This is a very interesting idea. I think this is "becoming more true" rather than "true." Part of the reason why I think this will never completely be the case is that starting a company involves getting lots of people t
