Which is a more pressing matter, the great oceanic garbage gyres or the orbital gyres. How do we fix these? Garbage and space taxes? We need a garbage x prize for cleanup ideas for both.

I am sure that technically it is not a security issue. But when a large scale system is interleaving peoples data and the "don't worry move along" tagline from the BigCo is "This is not a security issue" to downplay the incident is used -

I love how showing other peoples timelines, retweets and who-knows-what is not a security issue. These aren't the bugs you're looking for. Move Along.

Cool, you're just looking out for this potential interns interest right? So, just in the interest of full disclosure - what have you shipped/built/released if, by your own words, this is such a big deal? Just curious if you're some hyper pr

How many companies are extending offers and having them turned down? I have not heard of this being a problem at any company ever.

So what happens if this takes off and you get 10 / 100 / 1000 seekers for a job at X? Is it on Hustlebee to pre-qualify? Are you now a technical recruiter taking some % of the annual salary for the first 6/12 months? Why is hustlebee better

Agreed, and you're right - maybe the tone should be more properly metered. With that said, it is important to note that it is apparently difficult to get a clear idea of the truth.

Is it better to have started double digit startups than to have not started anything? Your snide comment seems to go totally against the idea that we should fail quickly and often. Out of curiosity, not knowing anything of the subject of yo

Reddit should try this to get some extra funding for another developer. Nice to see that ballsy phishing/social engineering tactics are still in play. I am reminded of the famous deposit slip scam... http://www.snopes.com/business/bank/dep

It would seem that to trust no-one but be cautious of all reports is the correct stance. We know there IS radiation and we know that pretty much ANY radiation coming from any plant that has the words "disaster" "chernobyl" "meltdown" "bre

by phlux 16y ago
Correct - and I am not making claims either way, though I guess I could be more clear -- the fact is that the radiation is too high to recover - either the bodies themselves are too dangerous, or the surrounding environment is too dangerous

Thanks for the guidance, however when one is commenting on the content of my post such in such a way to make it seem as though I am spreading FUD when they have failed to do even the most cursory check on the claim themselves, it is quite o

Fair enough, I am not trying to fear monger though, I think multiple reactor meltdowns, lack of clear information and continuous reports of radiation levels XXX times [some factor] are doing a good enough job. Now, even though my Grandfathe

Well, considering that this was from 3/21 and since then there have been further revelations that things have only gotten worse. Look at these pictures and tell me if you think it is possible that a reactor core outside the containment woul

One thing that would be interesting for this app would be to setup so that it would send you an email/sms whenever it saw a face it did not recognize, along with the pic. I'd love to see this as part of a home security system in which it wi

I'm predicting the big problem that Kevin Rose will solve on mobile then will be social task-list which lets you check-in to activities and have your social graph digg them up.

Grr... posting from my phone does not a well spelled comment make. And I hate how the edit function is not available seemingly arbitrarily.

Your argument is that the ability to submit, upvote/downvote and deep-thread comments affects the community? I dont follow. I am saying that having a better system for your community to converse allows the community to thrive. You may think

Frankly, I am surprised it took him this long to come up with the idea of doing an idea lab. I am also surprised there aren't many more of these in the valley.

Another domain they have taken, which is an available domain, and attached an arbitrary "premium" price on is Imbued.com which they want $625 for. Which is BS.

I have said this at least a few times and I will say it again -- a story and comment moderation model based on the way it is done at reddit truly would help. I find it really odd that you cant downvote until 500 karma, and it appears you ca

I would not join Startup Guild if it required me to have a facebook account. So thank god for that. Also - I find it ironic that you would think that a monolithic service such as facebook would be the obvious tool for scrappy groups of star
