I wonder if crypto-tokens could be used as an easy way of quantifying open source contributions? Famous GitHub projects could assign and pay their own custom tokens (not exchangeable for money, permanently tied to an identity), on the basis

Speaking for myself, I would feel pretty dumb if I got angry due to echo chamber comments on online articles. Why would you cause stress to yourself after reading vapid comments, when it's not mandatory to scroll to the bottom of the a

Your grandchildren will be able to see minute details of your life, using social media archival tools. They may be able to read all your HN and reddit comments. Would they be interested in that? Who knows. But things are about to change nev

Tendrils between galaxies is mind-blowing. Aren't galaxies very very far apart? And there is basically nothing in between? How are subatomic particles - baryons - able to survive the constant expansion? Do the tendrils keep getting thi

I was a student who had won a Lumia 800 around May of 2012. There was a promotion where anyone who submitted 4 apps to the appstore would get a phone - no 'win' involved, a guaranteed phone. It was one of the best promotions I&#x2

This is a symptom that has to be fixed at the source. Minority prize winners would emerge on their own, if the academic and scientific community fix the funnel for women. Giving awards on quotas would be like giving treadmills to paraplegic

America is the best place for VC money. For now atleast, in 20 years, who knows? Singapore or Canada or Berlin may become the next hotspot.

I had a vision of it diving inside the water and becoming some superfast submarine, perhaps cutting through the earth's crust or something. Anything can happen right!

I for one would welcome the scenario that someone who is smart, ambitious and genuinely concerned about poverty becomes president of the USA. He embodies the things I aspire to - entrepreneurial drive, smarts and philanthropy.

A rough guideline for me is to help advance humanity on its path of technical progress (because the life I love is because of technological progress); to help those living in poverty around the world (because after I die, chances of me bein
