   This is so bizarre. It's as though our conscious selves share an existence with an independently operating human animal. The one that flinches.

   Is there room for decentralization of utilities to address these issues? Solar for electricity, ambient moisture condensation for water, etc? Is the future of utilities centralized or decentralized?

   So, my question is: given all the controversy in the (tech) media over patents lately, how is the patent office able to rationalize granting (what appears to me to be) a very bad patent?

    Imagine a chorded keyboard on the left and right, with the right one (or perhaps both?) doubling as a mouse, with one or two of the keys assigned to mouse function. That's 2^8 to 2^11 different characters you can represent, and you never ha

    At that size and price point, it could have a significant impact on mobile UI. I'm looking at you, google glass.

    Are you sure it's "less organized help" they are advocating for, or is it "not forced help"? I find it to be the latter in almost all cases. People tend not to argue against charity, but rather "forced charity" (which is not something I wou

    What keeps JS from protecting against timing attacks? Even so, I would argue that it's fair to say that this pushes it along a continuum towards less secure, not that it is "broken".

    Isn't it fair to say, though, that all crypto is broken to some degree, and that javascript crypto lies somewhere on that that continuum? Surely AES with a 256 bit key that you've downloaded to your browser and can inspect is better than

    I don't get it. If you're emailing the link anyway, wouldn't someone that intercepts the email have access to the link? Is the point that your recipient opens it before an interceptor does? I'ts also unclear to me how the encryption scheme

    I like something similar: (1) show a list of bills currently under consideration (2) allow the user to 'vote' on each bill with some monetary amount, along with a preferred direction for the legislation ('aye' or 'nay') (3) after voting occ

    I strongly approve, and I think they are probably part of the way things will be done in the future. Kickstarter is already making great forays into this field. It's serendipitous that you bring this up, as I am currently working on a start
