If the goal is to build a wysiwyg editor, finale and others have some implementation that regular musicians have learned to work with. For a lot of people, the ability to do midi input is really important because when they write the music d

If this were true, the greeting card market wouldn't be nearly as big as it is. Also, printing will probably more expensive than buying things made via more conventional processes.

I'm a little skeptical about the magnitude of the increase in time from concept to realization. Four hours is the printing stage, but laying out something like that in cad is fairly time consuming, on top of that every piece surely went thr

Thats a good point. It'd be interesting to see someone do the calculations to see how the energy levels required for building and running electronics (in addition to the destruction of areas that possess various necessary minerals) compare

The only problem I have with this is that he left a job where he had the potential to make a net positive change in the world to one where he is a tool in destroying the environment. Sure personally he feels less obligation, but it just see

Instead of the "walled garden", make every person have the ability to program a node, and then have specialized websites where they could find other people in a category and connect their notes to other peoples (by exchanging some sort of k

I'm pretty sure people just don't know what to do about it. Those tons of aresoles that people released in the past decades are now in the ozone layer, and they act as catalysts for the decomposition reaction from ozone to o2, changing the

I'm just not convinced that enough people actually care about that. The largest cell phone market is the one for generic simple phones that just make calls, regardless of the smartphone hype. The reason that IE is so ubiquitous is that a

Meh. I don't think software people understand just how disinclined a non-software person is to do anything requiring configuring serverside stuff. Even torrents, where clients have essentially become good enough that all you have to do is i

I could be totally wrong here, but I get the sense that despite that being the intent of wall street, that basic concept has been very much abstracted away into a complicated game of mutual insurance and risk management. All I'm saying is t

Speaking as a college freshman, what I see wrong with finance is that fundamentally, these people, who have essentially spent their whole lives learning to solve complicated technical problems, are being employed by society to essentially p

Personally, I seem to notice a bit of cognitive dissonance. On one hand, people are saying that facebook latest changes are all evil and will allow advertisers to make heaps and heaps of money. On the other hand, people are adament about ho

The whole thing with money is that its a way to mediate resource allocation. As you point out, as the internet gets more ubiquitous, and there gets to be more money on the internet, it is bound to end up looking more like the "real" world.

that's quite the mission statement :). Google: "Organize the worlds information" Facebook: "Change societies views on what is private"

probably a stupid question, but how much karma do you need before you are able to down vote something?

Exactly. He even said that he decided that he would rather have a "hypothetical children" have a rich morally bankrupt father that could pay for college than one with integrity. edit: oops this is pointed out above.

Thats very well put together. Great attention to detail with the user display as well. I wonder how long it took to put together.

Wow, that is one of the most unintentionally poorly written articles I've ever seen.

The problem with this is that whereas people go on facebook to network, the go on google to buy things. The ad money is at the same place where people are spending their money. Look at facebook ads, a lot of them are for other social networ

I'm currently enrolled in a class that uses this book: Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Forms: A Unified Approach by Hubbard and Hubbard. http://matrixeditions.com/ This book should totally be listed. Though it doesn't f

This is absolutely crazy. Has there been any modeling done to attempt to predict what will happen? This is a great time to make a prediction and see how well it holds later.

Somehow i'd think that this is the exception rather than the rule. There's quite a few inner city schools where kids drop out because people just generally do other things when they are able.

Also, the site has a bug where if you don't type in a location nothing happens. Seeing as it wasn't immediately clear to me what the site was, that kinda a problem.
