I think this is an amazing review of what education is now and what it should be, another amazing talk is this: http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_crea...

nothing better than publicly poking fun at the RIAA/MPAA's continuous failure =)

hmm but the question is if they can shut it down while still keeping the money. maybe with this money they can expand their team and develop faster and better.

Id be very interested, I wonder if there is already someone in the Boston/Cambridge area doing something like this.

On april 23rd 23andme.com had a sale, everything for 99$ but it seemed to good to be true, but now im kicking myself for not going for it

These data seem out of date, especially with the facebook users of android, I personally know 6 people that are glued to their FB on android. I may be in an odd position since i only know 2 people with an Iphone

Im not sure I understand how LimeWire is liable, sure they offer the software, but the infringement is done by their users and not the company themselves

I was wondering the same question. I assume places like HN and maybe digg are the main source of publicity
285.
by madmaze 16y ago
its amazing to see what publicity on places like HN have done to this. I pledged a few days ago before i saw the first post on here, within a few hours they went from 3k to 10k. I really do hope they turn out something good

It sounds like a solid idea to me, id love to see a privately owned, node-based system where anyone can own their own things. I wonder how all the separate nodes would interact with each other. Im almost tempted to back them.

I agree 100 percent. The reason one gets an education is because you want to find out what interesting things there are. If everyone had the same education there would be no job competition. The problem with most of today's education syste

I can see it now, if this ends up working we will have tons of these: http://www.treehugger.com/20090514-algae-bioreactor.jpg i guess its time for me to complete myself an old turbo diesel benz.

That is one really cool idea, i wish there was more visualizations like that. reminds me of the guerrilla projector art that some people have been doing.

I would do close to anything to get a first hand view of a rocket launch. The shear force that is necessary to lift 100tons+ off the ground is a spectacle in itself.

this is why i honor tesla with a framed print of him, sitting in his lab, watching over my bed.
293.
by madmaze 16y ago
Tesla was a dreamer and an inventor. This is a rarely successful combination, most dreamers live too much in their dreams and fantasies to actually be a productive inventor, and inventors are too grounded by reality to really dream up somet

I could imagine doing this if i wouldnt live in Boston, with cheapo room mates that keep it barely above freezing in the winter. I must say i rather enjoy taking cool showers, im not sure that i could do straight up cold showers except when

How was it stolen? It was lost. The finder tried to return it and when he got turned down with no success, he turned around and sold it. The person who did the wrong doing was the finder and not Chen.

that is down right sad, how does a country like the US end up like that? i would love to see stats like this for europe or places like china

Props to Steve to actually answer to this open letter, but i think he could have put a little more effort into it, sounds like he has no confidence in open source. I wish apple would be a little more involved in open source.

this is the best demo i have seen of the adam tablet, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQvefuCHZds Im very excited, i hope it measures up to the iPad and other tablets, it seems to have some very cool features

i guess i havnt played with the droid enough. I would like to see it work out, especially seeing how it would do as a netbook platform, but im a little skeptical.
