This shows me how little I knew. I thought the majority of land was owned by the royalty.

How are we going to pay for the great wall of Mexico again? No, I don't believe Mexico will pay for it...with cash I mean.

His books are going for a fortune on Amazon.

To me, a lot of success is knowing when to give up and make a tangential change. Many failures I've come across were stubborn people who refused to let it go and try something diff…

20 years ago when I did some consulting for the Gap, I saw inside their data systems and realized they were a large real estate organization. It was the first time I witnessed the …

Side note: I have the direct opposite wish: I want a single mouse that can move off the boundary of one PC's monitor(s) and into the monitor of my laptop or across two or more desk…

I've tried full stack programming on one monitor and it took forever and was really frustrating. Multiple text editors/IDE's, test browsers, remote SERVER connections, SQL server a…

You haven't heard of Law 2.0. The slow rise to financial dominance is coming to an end for the big Amlaw firms. A disruption event is on the horizon where lawyers will need to be r…

I should make a startup called Trampoline. Other startups pay me insurance premiums and I hop in with a team and salaries for ejected employees to keep doors open for however long …

47 here. The network of people that I've built up over 25 years is still there. If I need a job, I just contact one and they just offer it to me. Why? Because I can do every phase …

This happened to me as well and the thief/buyer decided it would be funny to leave negative feedback as well. I'm not selling on Ebay ever again. The system is s t

GITS 2 took some patience. Totally different movie. GITS 1 blew my mind like Akira did.

That's genius!

I don't get it. Why is it no one has invented a safe JVM for ad execution so the site believes they are executing even though nothing is actually getting through? Is the coding req…

Can something like an Ionic Breeze type system work? Or does it have to be HEPA? Frankly, the smell alone makes me want to enclose it in acrylic and use a HEPA + carbon + fan.

Can you create a focused, high intensity gamma ray burst and blast a planet with it? What about sending a white dwarf careening through our solar system?

My dad (high energy physicist) was big on the idea of dumping the nasty stuff deep in abandoned salt mines where the Earth naturally squishes the barrels over long periods of time …

Knowing what I know now, if I could go back in time and choose a career, I'd go into materials science. That's where the biggest bang for the buck always is.

There was a discovery a while back of a planet composed mostly of diamond. Maybe diamond-nine accidentally formed and turned everything around it to solid diamond :)

Reminds me of when the BlackBerry inserted itself into the corporate consciousness. Meetings went from being a focused affair to this round table of people staring incessantly down…

He's gone. And I only have the anecdotal info from colleagues he worked with. MANY scientists are swept under the carpet due to the recognition power play that occurs at the high i…

Thanks. An addendum to his life: Apparently my dad led an early experiment at Fermi lab that discovered scaling violations which led to QCD. It was a while until it was officially …

Side note: My dad (RIP. Princeton PhD high energy physics working at UCSD as a professor/researcher.) lived in the high energy realm for decades. He worked on every major particle …

I didn't say any of that. You and another commentator are stuffing words into my mout...er comment. A more relevant point would be along the lines: Why bother? I'm 99% vegan myself…

There's so much to good meat: fats, amino acids, natural flavors, curing, etc. I suppose to the McNugget crowd, this will be awesome.
