The people who started this comment thread claim to have skipped your content so they could critique everything else. I wouldn't take it too seriously. I found your content cleanly presented and interesting.

I'm wondering if it's possible to use a sidechain to effectively bind two dissimilar chains together. If that's possible you could use bitcoins to run ethereum contracts and use ether to send money to a bitcoin wallet. Both s

Couldn't somebody open a dealership that offers Tesla vehicles where dealers are replaced with touch screens that walk you through all the available options, scheduling test drives, and settling on payment? Staff would be there to make

You can't be serious. So now the message is girls typically understand style, guys typically don't, and if you dislike that message then maybe you're just easily influenced by advertising. As a guy that loves fashion, the mes

What about consumers that don't take advantage of reward programs? Does it make sense to have an infrastructure doing round trips on value for everyone when not everyone wants it? Are there not considerable inefficiencies in maintainin

Ha! The jokes on them! I'm able to pay attention to both of them at the same time. Suckers.

The true irony is that immediately after "Doesn't that tug at his heart strings?" is an advertisement. If it's not okay for Schultz to capitalize on the popularity of ebola then why is it okay for the washing post to cap

I love the approach that some perspectives consider this a problem waiting for a solution so we should at least try to be inventive and consider possibilities. The problem is everything about this is contingent upon perspective and there ar

Resistance or reluctance? In keeping with the article, it would be less about the GMO vs non-GMO debate and more about uncertainty in how we agree on whether something ought to be or if it will cause more problems than it solves. The fear o

Variance is itself a good. I know there's no shortage of opinions on what Apple does wrong but let's not make falling in line be one of them. There are plenty of people who think the Google experience is worse off because of the

Am I wrong in thinking this only adds 1 step to your friends workflow given that git is decentralized?

I totally agree with one exception. It's not a thought crime when there's an alleged crime and insufficient evidence. You could have a situation where there's good reason to believe a crime took place but the evidence is encr

True and he technically received credit too. I suppose I meant it didn't cost you anything and he's receiving no special attention for it.

Privacy is just a cloak. Hypocrites and liars may hide behind privacy but so do journalists and pregnant women. The same is true of hammers which has been used to build dog houses and murder children. Ultimately, I don't think getting

Being able to relate attractiveness to a linear scale doesn't mean attraction operates on linear terms. In reality, there is no threshold nor is there a higher or lower. I agree with you in the sense that people will disregard personal

Sure, my comment wasn't to say they're doing anything nefarious. I'm actually not taking a position here either way. I'm just pointing out that people aren't upset that services use data to improve their services wh

I don't think the sticky point is whether or not we should be experimenting with people to find what works and what doesn't. It's about respecting users as humans and not simply data points. How does OkCupid know that convers

Good point. I would hope that part would be automated so that if a person isn't going to respond within the next 45 seconds requestor gets a message and maybe even an ETA for when they'll have their answer.

According to the site all the fonts together are 134MB compressed. Maybe that's the reason or maybe because it's a work in progress so works out better in segments.

The finer point to me is that sometimes there are perfectly valid reasons you wouldn't want to express yourself by email or online and I don't think that has anything to do with age. We have evolved to understand face-to-face comm

So you're saying that if he didn't donate money but instead blogged his opinion, less people would be upset? Seems like it would be the opposite in this case.

Sure but context also matters. If they were building something for web or everyday consumers, maybe I would agree. There are plenty of useful platforms and tools that belong to not-so-great site designs (ie: http://curl.haxx.se&#

That's one aspect of this I don't understand. Another is the idea that you can reduce a persons impact to one issue. The irony is that through his involvement in JavaScript and Mozilla, he has likely done more for the LGBT communi
