I welcome the up voting of these sorts of things. It's great to see projects with new eyes, and be reminded that not everyone has the same historical experiences that I've had.

What about Etherium, Golem, and other attempts to turn the mining phase into useful computing power?

How is this even possible? Is it gross negligence on the part of the pilot, a systems problem, or something else? (IANAP)

In my experience, women generally do talk more. Is that an offensive statement, or is it the context of David Bonderman making that statement at an Uber staff meeting?

The remark: At an Uber staff meeting earlier in the day, Arianna Huffington, another Uber board member, said one woman on a board often leads to more women joining a board. Mr. Bonderman responded “that it’s much more likely to be more tal

A nurse once told me "burnout is actually heartache in disguise". While I don't complete agree with that statement, I think there's some truth in it.

"We are not Facebook's customer. We are their product." I have stated that fact so many times to so many people, and yet most people don't care. They continue to use Facebook. It's almost as if people are addicted t

This was such a simple problem to fix for United. They offered vouchers for people to volunteer. No one accepted. So keep raising the offer until 4 people accepted. Problem solved. Instead they chose violence. I will never fly United Airlin

I'm actually not saying the future will be negative. Maybe it will be. Maybe it won't. But savvy and smart seems a bit too self-congratulating to those who have managed to negotiate this. Like Stan Lee said in Spider-Man "wit
