In terms of this, I've thought of a joke to get people more aware of global warming. Sell a piece of land a few kilometres in for a lot of money, citing it's major benefit as future beachfront property (put ads in local paper, etc). If anyo

Another point to mention is that it is also solar-powered.

Great point. As G+ allows people to choose the filter settings for each circle. Just add all musicians/artists into such a circle.

Given he so eloquently puts the arguments, it baffles me to think that we might just be an extremely lucky and rare occurrence in the universe. To me, it is more terrifying to think we are the only ones, than to think there are aliens. The

That seems more than I expected? Then again, don't quite know what the going for streaming revenue is.

Facebook is probably showing you updates of probably around 120 - 150 of active people, with about 7-20 very active close friends. And as someone has already mentioned, this has been proven against Dunbar's Number, and in other studies.

What are examples of this? Working around social systems? ie, as an example, the white South African student that applied for a bursary for African Americans in America?

You didn't read the next sentence. It is not inherently ads that are the problem, it is the fact from a company's perspective you have to cater to a) the advertisers who are paying you money vs b) your users who aren't. Currently, I'm okay

The biggest reason why non-developers would join is because of no ads. The result is, as Dalton mentioned that they HAVE to cater for their users who are the same people who pay them. If your users are your customers, you've got an easier g

Didn't expect that! What's Dalton going to do if it doesn't pass? Are they still pushing the idea, or are they going to move on?

I think one of the best ways to do this, is to keep the social system smaller once it reaches critical mass. It sounds counter-intuitive, but hear me out. New users that join once critical mass has been reached, will be able to create their

App.net's approach won't solve the problems that Dalton here talks about. Does he have plans that will solve this?

While an interesting approach, the interface way too distracting. And like using cellphones in conversation is considered rude, so will these things be. For example, how would the girl know he is using a dating app? She won't, so its more a

I have been following this on and off. Is there anywhere where it's been mentioned what the underlying network will look like? Is it actually a Twitter-like social site?

How are you dealing with the difference between scan and query? DynamoDB acts quite differently to other nosql databases. It seems in the find method, you are using scan? The reason why I'm asking, is that I've run into problems with Dynamo

I remember learning to code in Game Maker a while back, so each time I had an end goal in mind: the game I want make. In that time, I made 8-10 crap games, but each time I would code, I would more and more swap out the pre-build code action

In regards to already accepted 'prosthetics' such as spikes and suits in swimming, perhaps it should go back to the way the olympics started? I'm not being facetious, but it is going to start cropping up more and more. They don't have to be
