I watched Nearly Free Speech go to bat for a friend being sued over a possibly frivolous trademark dispute. In the end, after my friend lost the lawsuit and the court ordered the domain name to be transferred, somehow Nearly Free Speech int

This isn't that absurd, right now the great secret of US immigration is that someone with $1M USD of surplus liquid savings can definitely get on the green card track with the advice of their attorney.

I'm extraordinarily impressed by the paradigm of functional medicine. I went so far as to buy this book to figure out how to interpret my own comprehensive nutritional testing results. http://www.metametrix.com/learning-center/books/2008/l

Yes, you're right. The first time I did it I actually did zone out and had basically no idea what was going on. I think I missed my turn and eventually accidentally brazenly walked up to a cashier that probably wasn't assigned to me. The se

It's being rolled out slowly. Target in Emeryville has a rather advanced queuing system like this, but customers definitely don't like it and don't necessarily realize it's faster, perhaps because Target has less cashiers as a result of the

I linked to the original source below, which is a little woo-ey in spirit, but seems sincere, at least. I agree it's unfortunate that this isn't already wrapped in the language of science and academia, but if these results are true that sho

I'm still quite skeptical that the dolphins have complex shared language with features like recursion, but it's possible that the storytelling via pictures could get complex... I guess we'll see.

Yup, I think what is novel here and led to these results is that the dolphin researchers invented a device for generically converting audio into pictures.

This seems to be the original source: I emailed the researcher and asked him to share the full results. http://www.speakdolphin.com/ResearchItems.cfm?ID=20

It's probably to late to learn how to cultivate it if you don't already have it, but VCs love rationally exuberant hypomania. See Bill Nguyen, as an example. http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/160/bill-nguyen-startups But with the caveat

A lot of people have this in-built sense that lying must be illegal and it mostly just isn't except in very specific circumstances. This is a clear cut example of lying for a good cause. I do empathize with the refusal of a lot of gay peopl

Why you should care, and why this is revolutionary science: Lightning has recently been found to generate positrons via gamma rays. This is very recent science and definitely underexplored and not yet solved via theory. http://science.nasa

It's also only in the USA that airlines are so insistent about the lack of electronics. On Asian domestic airlines, you get the same speech to turn them off, but then the flight attendants will just ignore you while you listen to your MP3 p
