OK, I'm not a physicist, so my first thought when I hear "manipulate mass" is Star Trek. Specifically, inertial dampers. One of the big impediments to interstellar travel is the length of time and amount of energy it takes to accelerate to

Also, what percentage of the populations color blind? You'd have people boarding for red when green was called, etc. Letters give us 26 possible boarding stages. Even without keeping accessibility is mind, you'd only be able to reliably use

A decade ago there were promises of huge advances in treating diseases based on knowledge related to the human genome project, but then gene therapy kind of fizzled out. I'm wondering if all the latest medical breakthrough news is just the

> Speaking as an artist, I can assure you that is exactly what art is about. Additionally: all people are the same, and have always been. Fair enough. I suppose I can only speak for myself, and to a certain extent I can speak for other

Yes, that is actually the main purpose of art.

Speaking as a musician, I can assure you that that is not what art is about. That is what art dealership is about. Artists and art dealers are not the same people. On the other hand, it is also not necessarily about beauty. I've played plen

I think this idea is funny, but a future where legal disputes are settled by whoever is a better gamer/swordsman/chess player is moving back toward feudalism. Ideally, the winner of the legal dispute should have something to do with the mer

The end of life perspective still suffers from the same problem as middle of life -- they have no way of knowing what the outcome would have been if they had done things the other way. They might be on their deathbed saying "I wish I'd work

There's definitely interest -- on my part anyway. I'd be especially interested to see the scripts you used. I'd love to be doing this sort of thing, and more specifically what others have done would be helpful.

I expect that there are a lot of other factors that would predict future earnings better than major. Plenty of people get degrees in philosophy or English with the intention of following it with law school. On the other hand, plenty of peop

Sounds like you're on the right track though... now I need to take my own advice. Good luck to you!

You are right on the money -- I had that very quote in mind as I was writing (gotta love the Marx brothers). You're also right about the lack of code reviews. I've been able to sneak in a few things that would probably be frowned upon. But

I've heard great things about it, though I'm pretty happy with NYC right now. Are you hiring?

Yes, commuting is a bitch, and having to drive ~1 hour each way definitely contributes to my hatred for my job, and is part of why I feel like I've hit a wall recently. There's nothing like getting home at 8, and then trying to convince my

Thanks, it's good to know I'm following a path that others have been down before. I've gone back and forth about the age thing. On the one hand, I tell myself, van Gogh starting painting at 27! On the other hand, I am not the van Gogh of de
