The first thing I thought was surley this is an April fools but here is an article about them from January http://www.businessinsider.com/juicero-raises-120-million-20... It seems insane to pay $700 for a press and then pay

This is a good warning to anyone wanting to develop crypto tech anonymously. Eventually if the tech is popular it will be profitable for a well meaning journalist to investigate and reveal your identify and publish childhood photos of you.

This would kill seafaring unions. Don't underestimate how appealing this is to shipping companies. Note: I am not arguing against seafaring unions, just explaining the reasoning of corporates (having worked in head office of a shipping

Thank you Sam! I know it is early days, but how is YC Research doing so far? Any plans on expanding it?

They could easily spin off an entity to handle that, like the NRA does with NRA-IL. Maybe they should, or maybe another group should. The federal government once classified encryption as a weapon, maybe we have 2nd amendments rights to it.

Your perception is wrong. The gun lobby is crazyily grassroots. The NRA is demonized, but their spending in lobbying is low (their income is relatively low and they have a lot of other elements such as training and certification) and less

Planting a flag is meaningless, as this article shows. There are two ways to claim land. The first is to conjure up some de jure rights (some way to justify legal ownership, such as 500 years ago your ancestors owned the land until someone

The local Gauls might have lost a forest, but I am sure there was no shortage of forest at the time. It would have cost JC nothing. The real cost was borne by the grunts who had to chop the trees down, move them, dig trenches and erect the

Saudi has many potential exports. They have massive non-oil mineral resources they can exploit when they choose to do so. They have fertilizer, water and sun in unlimited quantities (cheap energy + salt water = fresh water). They could feed

Practically speaking it matters not. Calibre can do pretty lossless (practically speaking) conversions between formats. The limitations/features of ebook readers have a much greater influence on how a book looks than the format. I love

No, that is a underwater round, not an underwater gun. Most guns can be used underwater, but range is limited. The bullet in that round extends range from normal rifles. It has the added advantage of being able to be used in air as well (fo

Ignore the haters. I can't fathom why you would be down voted. Keep up the great work. I will be following your project with interest.

The "advertisement" of guns is a red herring. Facebook already suppresses anything firearm related. They suppress the visibility of gun-related pages (such as how many followers of a hunting page see what was shared on it in their

Yes but many are in pretty barren places to begin with. Being in a poor small town in the middle of nowhere with no possiblity of work beyond welfare, is different to being in a city with jobs available.

I would love to know how they could possibly be a shock hazard. I have a piles of these (for travel) and they are solidly build and almost only plastic. The only way they could break, I think, is if they fell apart somehow.

Well I for one have no beef with starving North Korean peasant farmers. So there is no bright side as far as I am concerned. It's also little to no consolation that the Kims regularly purge the military ruling classes as well, while th
