I agree, although this makes me think of the great number of people who have the potential to create value but cannot, because their ability to "do" is blocked. Most people I know who cannot create value have an issue of time. M

I deal with this concern myself, and the answer I've been mulling over recently is related to the Big Fish In A Small Pond analogy. (In fact, I think of it in the same terms as your friend: winning my freedom) In the Bay Area, things

George Clooney has a satellite he uses to keep track of a warlord. Individuals have capabilities which were previously accessible only to nations. I wonder if it is possible that an individual might intervene in North Korea, instead of a

This is very cool and reminds me of something I've wanted for a long time: a tool like this that is used to make sound. The synthesizers I've used seem predisposed to making a certain type of sound, however, something like but wh

In the early 2000s there was a device/toy called the Cybiko ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybiko ) which offered similar functionality. It was amazing in theory, however, adoption was never very high so it never t

They're not quite harmless. I've got a nice scar in my eyebrow from one, and I've seen them remove pieces pavement. With just a little more evil thought than I put into it when I was hacking around, I could see them hurting

I'm not sure, however, one of the things Bitcoin advocates tout is the limited inflation, which seems right in line with what he says is needed. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply

Kind of interesting to think about his comment about the goal being to “create an international reserve currency that is disconnected from individual nations and is able to remain stable in the long run.” Hmm...I wonder if there are any cu

Awesome, I was indeed using the Github search. I have the police non-emergency number on my phone and they seem very responsive (though, I've only used it for 'big' things so far). Later I'm going to look up responsibil

In many cases, thinking that we are limited is itself a limiting factor. I've noticed this with self confidence as well. Its interesting because suppose there were two people who were both identical in capability - the one with conf

The article is a bit confusing, since, as far as I can tell, the "first model to be shipped" only has 16 (+2 ARM) cores. The 64 (+2) core board is not shipping/reservable yet. Congrats to the people at Parallella though! I&

This review states the Ouya is "hacker friendly" and I think thats far from the truth. It comes with a locked bootloader and, as far as I've been able to research, no one has been able to put any other version of Linux on it

I've been wondering about this line of thinking lately, and I'm confused if its actually productive. For example: I need to lose about 15 pounds. If I just accepted myself as me, I'd never really work towards the better pict

Where did you buy the litecoin? And also, how did you transfer money into that exchange? I'm currently looking at BTC-e.com for the exchange, and OKPay for money transfer, but... OKPay just feels wrong. They are asking for photos of my dr

Wow, this is great! I got to see a block completed and see a 3392.80 BTC transaction go by - both got me excited enough to be amusing to those around me!
