You obviously have never seen how a king lives. At $4k, you will live like the median American. Maybe that looks good if you're from $1/day but, it's not nearly royal ever.

But nobody (outside of maybe China) seems that inclined to hinder it... Trolls love to see the volatility because the fall is so fiery and believers are deluded, so whatever. The trickle of fresh meat for the slaughter is the glory. Watchin

There's a sucker born every minute, but how far can the pyramid go? Is it a snake eating its own tail? Make a bunch, try to leverage that up a level? The losers will eventually be zeroed out.

A goPro mounted like an alien beacon on top of the rider's head could be a clear signal to a-holes that their behavior will easily be recorded. I could see a whole secondary market in decoy helmet mounts appearing. Google Glass might j

Thanks for the wading and additional, nuance-providing details. It would still seem that they would first focus on a single tier of support focusing around their favorite few largest OEMs to set the guide for the others. I'm not saying

Let's prioritize... Help out a large OEM with some level of gravitas and reliability or 10's to 100's of bargain-bin-targeting mom & pop shops that are unwilling to put their balls on the line to get up to speed on making

Dogecoin confirms everything about Bitcoin, but the pious is the pious. Some MLM-minded peeps know you have to be at the top, so they start their own half-assed thing and prod the overly self-loving crowd of rabidly anti-fiat currency Ron

Higher dev/maint costs? Come on... are you kidding? Far less buying power? Fair, I guess. Altogether... this is the way iOS dies. "We got the rich kids in America! Stay the course!" When does iPhone 6 drop because the 5s bump

Uh... yeah it is worse than material goods. Someone will give you $5 for a TV or you could at least enjoy kicking it down a hill. With a devastated, leveraged position in an illusion, you ain't got squat. Once the bubble pops, there is

The cognitive dissonance is magic. You couldn't fake the tragic similarities to the dotcom crash. People yelling "hold for long!" with people raining down and everybody having a little voice inside their head saying, "I&

You must have grown up with snow. My thoughts exactly. It fell into the uncanny valley for me... Sort of close, but then off in unnerving ways. Great work for where they got to, but it's not quite right yet.

Thank goodness TED will now eat itself. They always struck me as the bad part of the west coast ethos. Self-fellating bullshit that will go nowhere. If we ever see the dystopian future of a detached gown-wearing overclass, it will come from

Drop shadows in all the directions! I like the idea obfuscating the location of the containers of the data as well as the content. Shred, encrypt, disperse. You send a token to the recipient and they are able to use that to build location r

Foucault is SmallTalk. Tangentially inspirational, but mostly useless in modern practice. Deleuze's postscript... "metastable states coexisting in one and the same, like a universal system of deformation." That's your co

I liked how candid they were in their post and then you made all my malcontent proclivities surface. Now, I'm out to pile on and ruin their day as well. Blood in the water.

It's December. Once done chopping down the trees, it's time to take the axes over the product/staff list in prep for Q1. Kids and start-ups don't get it. Most post-startup companies, especially those in the tumult of M

It's up to you, but mostly, yeah, you write out as much into the shared code area (C#) as possible then, write up/wire up your UI layer using native layout tooling. How far you go to using stuff like iOS storyboards or just doing

They get the 80's crash analysis all wrong. There was never a demand implosion due to uncertainty of quality. These were 8 bit sprites. Crap was standard. Crap was good. All 8-bit console games look low quality compared to the first 8-

I know right... Same thing with mutual insurance companies. "What we don't pay out in overhead and claims, we give back to the members/policy holders..." Riiiggght. Like there's any incentive to maximize the payback

Not really. Arbitrage is already pretty advanced. The analogy to bitcoin mining rigs and mining pools isn't far-fetched. Some well-positioned people smell it and started refining the process while building up legal machines for consoli

Which is why bitcoin is secure and liquid - great as a utility currency. So you're saying the transaction costs of converting from bitcoin to any useful currency is really high and that we should see the unattractiveness of money-servi
