Agreed... The Founding Fathers were clearly the most intelligent and capable leadership the country has ever had, but in 2016, I wouldn't ask for the opinion of a person who had signed their name on the three fifths compromise.

Yes, as a taxpayer, I am 100% ok with that. The $1000 is a small fraction of the total cost, and I'd be paying close to or more than that amount for all the journal subscriptions that a federally funded research institution carries any

You wouldn't necessarily need only 1/4 the drivers. The reduction in prices would increase demand for transportation by some amount. If that amount is less than 4x, you would see an industry employment decrease, but if it was more

One big source of "economist technology" that doesn't get talked about a lot is the dramatically improved quality of automobiles compared to 30 years ago. When I was a kid, the family Toyota was always needing an oil change,

I'd like some way to write music like a piano roll or a pad system, or just some alternative to Western classical notation, which I find hard to translate to sounds in my head.

Wow! It's Etherpad for music scores. Very impressive and very useful to people like me who don't have the interest in purchasing or maintaining something like Sibelius but want to explore musical ideas with other people. Hope it&#

Especially given the extremely shady way in which "Go Set a Watchman" was released, possibly against Harper Lee's desires, it would be fair to say that "Atticus Finch" should refer to the character in "To Kill

The actors who the government has the most legitimate interest in surveilling (drug cartels, racketeers, corrupt officials, etc.) are the best-equipped to switch from paper currency to alternate currencies (precious metals, gems, etc).

Also, diversity as it pertains to "hiring people who dislike Twitter and don't use it," which would be a great source of change from the inside. However that's very hard to do, both for the company (you want me to hire t

VR could be huge in simulated travel, much bigger than video games. What if, during your lunch break, you could book an hour with a camera-equipped Segway in Hong Kong and a take a look around the night market? International tourism is avai

It doesn't need to be better than the stadium, it's competing with the TV. And in many ways, it can be better than both... Imagine being able to watch the game from the perspective of the baseball itself!

People will forget about the attribution disputes in 100 years but from my reading, it looks like CRISPR may become the greatest achievement in biology since the theory of evolution by natural selection.

Those problems are bureaucratic problems that will be solved with the money at stake. You're already protected with valet parking, through a combination of your own insurance and the valets. This wouldn't be any different, you&#x2

I hope they target this iteration more towards people who already wear glasses -- these are people who have already resigned themselves to placing a plastic object on their face every single day. The amount of change from there to a Google

I find it very useful in music production apps - press the pad harder, get a louder sound.

Doesn't the commonly used Mercator projection make polar regions seem larger than normal? Causing Greenland to seem enormous?

I haven't used Android, but culturally it seems like iOS developers try to deliver as much as they can with the permissions you give them. A voice recording app would probably just refuse to function without microphone access, but a vi

I doubt that Spotify is charging money for inclusion in the Discover Weekly playlists. This would run counter to the goals of promoting Discover Weekly usage, which is to get more users thinking "What's new on Spotify this week?&q

You could ask for a naming convention in Premiere -- so that various clips or chapters are tagged with #dark or #exciting in their title, and then Jukedeck would play the appropriate type of music at the right time. If you can't get it

The output is interesting... decent enough for an ambient background track! An interesting Version 2 would be a way to construct a song for a particular video (perhaps ingesting the Adobe Premiere project file)... Making sure the downbeats
