> How many more hurricanes occur today than 100 years ago? Rhetorical question. It's not about the amount of hurricanes, but their strength and their path. Apparently Sandy was blocked by an anti-cyclone south of Greenland and instead o

May be one should put it different: If connection lines get interrupted by tornadoes, storms, what ever, would this topic then qualify your subjective criteria? Or even more to the point, would you support a HTTP error code 456 indicating s

I suspect that list would just form an implementation of Wikipedia's list of cognitive biases. Too many civilizations failed already to recognize the environment as the challenge it is.

During same period Arctic summer sea ice extend also was reduced by 50%, volume shrunk down to 25%. Environmental news do not spark lively discussions here - except a data center opens in the high North. Can only guess about reasons, may be

Paul has described the problem very well and he also made a habit of insisting a startup needs to solve a real problem. Now, I wonder whether the understanding of both aspects is enough to put him in a position to recognize founders on the

Given all the compile to JavaScript projects and even video decoders running in JS, I wonder why there is still no chip capable of executing JS on pure Silicon. Since the standard is a very slow moving target, that should speed up all Web a

I think this path has flaws. First there is no idea why and how evolution developed consciousness inside our brains, and it's quite hard to simulate a black box only knowing the output. Secondly, once this problem is solved teaching the mac

Since the true innovation of GNOME Shell isn't mentioned here anywhere the discussion is completely off. Surely the Shell is new and of course nobody was able to customize it on day one to his old habits. Even all these blog entries with 50

"The hardware is only a tiny piece of the puzzle of quantum computing. Algorithms for QC are rare, hard to develop, and the field is in its absolute infancy." Is that the description of computer technology as of 1911?

Looks like bashing Facebook leads to down votes, interesting. But short run is not 100 years. And yes, Facebook will care from day one about QC, think data center and investors willing to burn money to foster old school technology.

Agreed. Was expecting some kind of idea why information technology actually is a mega-trend and what possible game changers are around the corner. Just imagine only one patent on a working quantum computing device and all mentioned companie

First step to relate linguistic to entropy. Read physics meets language. Expect another decade to answer why words carry meanings.
