Trying to see it from their perspective, I can think of a few edge cases where the commenter might have a valid concern. For example, imagine a rigidly enforced style guide a from several years back that talked about the default return valu

For whatever reason, Soylent seems to trigger a visceral reaction in a lot of people. Arguments like "but this product already exists" probably reflect more on the arguer than the product. That said, I found the arguments urging c

Interesting how they're doing this Q&A in the same format and on the same site as Snowden's Q&A the other day. That looks like a much smarter move than putting up questions on some internal Q&A tool where people might

I really like that idea. Quick question about how it would play out in practice: how would it apply to things like financial regulation? For example, if more than 1% of banks ignore the rules about capital reserves, does that make the law a

I misread that as "hospital" instead of "hospitality" on my first read, which actually brings up an interesting tangent. If the Tesla stations make use of and store solar power, would they be a viable backup power source for hospitals? Or a

I'd like to hear the answer to this as well. Especially in light of some of Bret Victor's recent talks, I'm very eager to hear about tools and visualizations that enhance thinking and learning.

Probably ties into the increasingly blurred lines between work and home. I check emails/answer hipchat questions at home, and browse Hacker News/Reddit occasionally at work. Seems like a fair trade-off, in moderation of course.

I don't know. They're trying to create a legal contract that binds them and stays valid as long as the duration of the patent. I'd be pretty careful about putting every patent available under that agreement until I was sure that it couldn't
