They should release it under some sort of fair use model where they receive 10% of the profits of anyone using their technology. Then, there doesn't need to be any marketing and limiting of availability by only having one source of pro

I'm interested in the LED choices (listed as incandescent-like) - what type of LED can I look for with my own personal projects to achieve this?

So punish them for not verifying? We're already very familiar with the concept that ignorance of the law isn't a valid reason for violating the law. What's wrong with that in this scenario?

Usually when the solution is "just remember to do X", you've found a bad solution. Re-approach the problem from a different perspective - companies don't value their customer's privacy enough. What solution can we p

I picked out GEB randomly at a bookstore like 20 years ago. The cover grabbed my attention and I started flipping through it and was instantly curious. My mom ended up buying it for me, on Valentine's Day I believe, ha. Read the whole

But many people don't care about having extra sunshine in the morning and would much rather have an extra hour in the evening. Many probably consider "actual day and night cycles" to be a man made construct anyway. There&#x27

Somehow other parts of the world (like the Netherlands) still manage to exist.

It makes perfect sense, we'll get an extra hour of sunshine in the evening.

A few years back at DEFCON it was supposed to be the movie during movie night. I showed up and at the last minute it was changed to something else. Cue my immense disappointment. :(

I felt the substance of the message more than the details. Does it really detract from the essence of it? Sometimes just the realization of the underlying meaning is all that is needed to be beautiful, even if the words aren't perfect.

Almost everyone who has ever been alive eventually died. It's a dangerous condition.

Not for finding filenames, but for finding files containing stuff, there's the magical `grep` ! Probably my most used command for finding stuff in a massive legacy codebase. grep --include='*.js' -rn methodName will

I disagree that there was no clear success. Look at New Zealand. They took it seriously and took it seriously early. Their cases dropped to near nothing and held that way until September of 2021. https://www.worldometers.info&#x2

I might be wrong but it looks like neither of those are classified as a Lithium Metal Battery and are still a form of Lithium Ion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_metal_battery vs https://en.wikipedia.

I remember a few years ago reading an article about a breakthrough in Lithium Metal batteries, as opposed to Lithium Ion. Supposedly have 2x the power density at half the size, and don't burst into flames when punctured. Anyone else re

Why not look for funding from the many sources of grants and charities that might not care about economic motivation? Your comment seems very defeatist. Actually this whole thread seems defeatist.

This. All of these other topics you see on either side of the political spectrum are convenient distractions for things like the Panama Papers, lobbying, and corporate welfare. How do we keep topics that matter across the political spectrum

Also, my comment was definitely not a dismissal of the person I was replying to, it was intended to agree with them. Clearly, that wasn't clear. Text is hard to convey tone and context. :)

I get it, it's a problem that I have where I tend to rely on responses to fully flesh out my ideas. I would love to have a bullet proof fully reasoned human readable argument, but many times it's hard to translate abstract thought

Yeah, I guess I don't mean that my examples are explicit ponzi schemes, but merely similar. I certainly wouldn't say they are fraud . I think my examples are instances where people are good at selling an idea and not having full

I genuinely thought it would spark an interesting discussion about how certain businesses are run, that is related to this article. Can you please clarify what is wrong with that exactly? I've been a part of this site for like 10 years

I've known several entrepreneurs in my life that simply lived off investor money and never really got anything out the door. They would come up with a new idea, get money, and then botch the execution, over and over. I've been a p

Right, but, the owners end up pocketing a substantial portion of investor money. Look at WeWork. If you need 10 rounds of funding to keep running, your profit model is "obtain investor money". (Probably controversial, but IMO 3 ro
