Seems sparse compared to readability's recent efforts at micropayments for content. I wonder how they will develop this.

If this turns out to be a real FDA approved implant, the potential to improve the lives of paralyzed people is staggering.

I have thought that something like this would be great for a while. I wonder, is there any DRM like to prevent piracy on grey-area blogs that won't respond to a take-down notice?

"Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and more steadily we reflect on them; the starry heavens above and moral law within. . . The former view of a countless multitude of worlds annihilate

I am definitely not advocating more regulation, only pointing out that laws and ethics are not the same thing. The parent of the above post is the one suggesting to "change that" (implying more regulation) and I am answering that comment. I

The question is: how? The sentiment (in the US, at least) still seems to be towards less regulation at the moment. Enforcing ethics as well as laws would seem to require even more regulation, unless you have a magic potion that will convinc

Who is to say that ethically challenged businesses cannot be legitimate targets for investors? I hate these sites, but my bet is that they pay off for investors as well as your average YC company...Investors are in the business of making mo

What's amazing is that it was not just IBM - the germans got oil from Standard Oil, their tanks were made by Opal (a GM subsidiary), and in many other ways the German war effort was financed and enabled by "Allied" conglomerates. Makes one

Is this true? Is it any different than IPv4? Obviously a permanent static address would have tracking value, but proxies and networking would seem to have equal obfuscation capability...

Don't trust me - but I would wager a bet that the US government already has such infrastructure. We trust them with the power to detonate 1,000's of thermonuclear warheads or study Ebola virus for weapnization at USAMRID - the internet kill

I don't think that it is the benefits of unbridled consumption that have people down. It is true that we live in a time that has amazing medicine, food, and communication. The problem is that the oil, plastic, space for garbage, fertilizer

The point is that the CPR was only possible because of his earlier work in the "hard" sciences, at least in IMHO.

As an undergrad philosopher who became self-taught hacker after graduation, I can say with confidence that this is a great synthesis. While contemporary academic philosophy is little more than a circular passing of jargon, there is no doubt

Revenue sharing is definitely one possible reaction to the privacy backlash.

I bet the brand gets a "veto" flag, probably with automatic mood analysis built in.

There may be many problems with SES, but I do not think that blacklisted IP's will be one of them. Nobody sends more emails than Amazon - they know how to do delivery.

But they already are, so we have to support them now. That is the problem.

Google has enough publicity power and local business relationships (AdWords, Places) that they will have less trouble than anyone else signing up businesses to be part of the deals. Probably even FB. Then, they also have their ad network an

Agreed - the only one I have actually used is GAE, and I was definitely not trying to endorse the other services as "too good to beat." Just trying to say that with all the different stacks out there for different languages and purposes the

The real question is: can this offering compete with the specialized PaaS services we have seen emerge in the last year - heroku, GAE, djangy.djangozoom/eldairon, various node.js services, phpfog, etc... The specialized services will be les

You will never disprove a conspiracy a priori. I think that what you need to do is ask them what the best evidence for a conspiracy is, and then provide a rational explanation that does not require a conspiracy. Them, go down the list of su

His point is relevant, I think. But it does not make your point invalid. The us can be considered exceptionally wealthy due to it's per capita gpa, consumption, size, and stored wealth in terms of infrastructure, resources, education, and s
