What would be wrong with a voting machine assigning you a UUID that you can print out and verify your vote on a website where everyone else's 100 million votes are displayed?

What if in addition they posted all 100 million of these UUIDs/vote pairings to a public website where anyone could verify their vote?

I'm pretty sure there are videos on YouTube of chimpanzees playing with tigers in the forest. Swinging down from trees just to smack them over the head and back up into cover...

I had hoped to see this technology occur in my lifetime, I said to myself "I hope I live to see the day" a few years ago. Here it is in 2016, obviously its just a highly controlled demo but it has connected the dots. I'm conf

For #2: why does your mind need to run in a simulation at 1% rather than just wait in cold storage until the technology allows for it to be run at 100%? And then, what if I made the argument that because the universe will inevitably repeat

Anyone that hasn't yet, check out Black Mirror on Netflix. It has a lot of ideas in it that I am surprised to see in a show in 2016. I love Elon Musk but I think he is solving the wrong problem when it comes to making human beings a sp

I meant it more in an abstract sense. They don't have to be silicon they could be enormous metal planets and moons..

What is interesting is if we are the result of an unfathomable number of transistor gates, the consciousness that arises from it would never be able to understand the 'platform' (hardware) that it sits on.. would it? The idea bein

Made me wonder how many of these you would need to boil a pot of water? Could have big implications for developing countries?

As a once iOS and Android Dev (before moving to game dev in UE4) I found the act of having to rewrite an app again on another platform a great way to refactor the code and do things better the second time around. If I had to go back though

Reminds me of the movie 'The Jackal' I really hope we don't over correct out of fear because drones will be a net positive for society.

Is there any hope for an imaging device to map the brain that isn't so invasive? Similar to an MRI?

That article is actually why I chose to use the word 'expressive' in my question! "..when I'm making these games, they're not just commercial products. They're expressive works that we're working very hard

Off topic but curious to know your thoughts on Unreal Engine 4 and if you feel you could be as expressive in it as you would in your own proprietary engine?

Funny timing of this article. Just 3 days ago I was sitting at my desk and had this awesome calm come over me, something I've only ever experienced at the end of a long day when a hangover finally breaks. I looked at the ingredients in

Was in the same boat about 2 years ago, was creating a mobile app that was a calendar + real time chat/location sharing. Used Parse and Firebase and it was really great but never got to scale to know how it would have held up.

Ideally you would not want to start from scratch and instead purchase the rights to an old proven printer's design. Anyone know of who you could approach that would sell this design to you? Then you could probably get on Kickstarer and

Is there a future where magic leap provides the screen real estate and your iPhone can project a laser keypad? Sadly I don't think so. What about a thin foldable screen rather than a headset? ( http://www.sciencealert.com&#x2

Anyone use VS code for Unreal Engine 4 development? Long shot but figured I'd ask.

Very insightful thanks for sharing. I would say that if AirBnb is still the market leader in 10-20 years it's because we underestimated the power of a trusted brand.

I don't think there is causation but correlation between success and work hours. Both come from determination.

I often wonder about a tax system that just works on inflation. Why does a govt go out of its way to collect taxes if it's also going to print money? To me it's so that you can tax different entities at different rates. But if we&
