This is awesome, and I'm glad to see them innovating around it. I've scratched my head for years now around clearing time of payments and digital payment systems. It isn't like you have to load gold coins on a ship, or manual

You're absolutely right in that its critical to either kick things into gear, or know that its going to take a long time for things to happen. That's excellent focus. I look forward to shifting back to the other side at some point

What I don't get is why companies in states that allow non-competes just seem to do them by default. Someone on their legal team or board pushes for them, and then just just become defacto and no one can seem to justify them. I may hav

I was onboard with this school of thought for a while, right now it isn't my flow. I work hard as-is teaching WDI at GA. I commit code frequently, but I also really want to focus more on work-life balance at the expense of getting more

Given that, why aren't more people trying to get to Australia to work? Aside from spiders (a personal fear of mine) it seems to be a pretty awesome place.

Same here, even when running locally. I just had it never paint the walls- that's the right solution right?

There really needs to be a process of recourse against companies that overzealously flag things to have them removed. Yes, its often an automated process- but are we so far down the path of automation that there is no responsibility any mor

I've had friends experiment with this, and they've reported good effects from taking small doses to help with depression. In small amounts, it isn't as scary of a drug as most people make it sound like. In small doses, its ki

But bandwidth isn't free. Someone's gotta pay for it in some way or another, and if a major company lets say is using your hosted copy without asking, then perhaps they should host their own?

But do keep in mind that the backers did bear risk- there is a significant chance that any Kickstarter project doesn't turn out, because Kickstarter shouldn't be thought of as a 'store to buy things'. Risk is exactly wha

I've had a friend do this. He had all the smart phones from Palm ones up through the iPhone and then just decided no more. He's got a basic flip phone that's cheap and the battery lasts forever. Features include talking, sms

Agreed- it is very hard to tell who is holding the currency due to tumbling and all. But if it all does condense down to one wallet, or a set of transactions that is suddenly happening on this one service... then it does smell funny. If

I've joked that the ultimate tech hipsters need to use the Rift + Glass at the same time to look at a virtual Pebble watch on their arm...

Yep, that's pretty much what I'm thinking. It started all with thinking how terrible of an idea it would be to wear this while motorcycling... Someone at Google with access to one of the self driving cars should see what this woul

A (likely terrible) idea that just occurred to me- How cool would it be to use a VR headset to help you navigate a vehicle? Yes, I mean to say wearing this while driving essentially. Given a fast/good enough sensor/input system, y

I personally just don't see the point of preorders. There is no scarcity of games. There is no downside in waiting another week if your local Gamestop (or Amazon) are sold out to get it later. In fact, I kinda like waiting months... or

Maybe I'm atypical these days. I don't preorder. I only play the 'top' games that are rated and reviewed exceedingly well unless I have a specific reason to do otherwise (specific niche that I want to play). I waited unt

I'm curious to hear at some point an insider's view on WTF happened here. I know EA was looking to make money faster, but they shot themselves in the foot by putting out such a terrible title that was so broken- whereas if they ha

Now that I think of it... if you had used this as an "investment", could you take it as a loss on your taxes? UPDATE: Checked with accountant, he's checking into it more, but very likely that you could take it as a casualty&#

The popular media really like to grab any neuroscience paper and twist the hell out of it. Talk to most neuroscientists and they are much more conservative in their leaps and jumps... in reality its moving slowly, but the media wants to por

I think the concept of being proud of where its made doesn't really matter for most people as much as the media might portray. I've had tiny Japanese cars from the 80's and 90's (which were a mixed bag), an American made

Also, it would seem that Toyota has sat back and done little to advance the Prius in the last 17 years (yes, they launched the Prius in Japan in 1997) in the eyes of the consumer or technically. I'm not a huge car guy, but I don't

Is it just me, or does this seem to be a sideways admittance/accusation that the US Government has been essentially 'attacking' Facebook attempting to extract data outside the normal channels of requests from law enforcement?

What in the world would the CIA be looking for in searching members of Congress? Do they actually think that elected officials are involved in terrorism or endangering the security of the US? If members of Congress are being watched, then I

Even after working on just a bit of Haskell, I feel that my JS and Ruby development have gotten tighter.
