You're right, My bad. I was thinking of narc as "Narco", the drug lords.

What I was saying is that, given how much money comes in from drugs, they are already able to own plenty. Even when drug money can't be spent freely or things done openly. If drugs…

This. The root of all the cartel's power is the army of kids who would rather trade their lives for a couple years of fast money. Lack of education,poverty, and all the other unres…

They already do it, but it's the extend of it the worrying thing. There's plenty of known "Narc owned" businesses in mexico. I'm from there and it's quiet a thing to see strange th…

There are so many ramifications, specially with what happens in terms on the national relationships once the money flow is cut to some with drugs being made legal. We don't know ho…

Since buying phones mid-air is though, I'd suggest an app that does binaural beats like ambi-science, or one that generates white noise like the sound of a waterfall or a fountain,…

Oh, this explains the results when I asked "Siri, Find me some girl scout cookies".

Thanks for doing this and putting them up, the talks are amazing.

Title should be: SpaceX Falcon9 manages to reach its destination despite the engine failure, delivers a pack of home made ice cream.

Doesn't make much sense to me. What would prevent people from giving away 2 gifts,one of item one of money, or a giving away to a 3rd party as escrows?

On the upside there are more visas, the side effect is it makes it harder for early startups to hire H1Bs due to the increased cost. 10K for the H1 plus 15K for the green card. Usu…

I think it was a good thing. No, the maps aren't perfect, but neither were gmaps( though way more polished). I can remember a the times where gmaps sent me to some random location.…

I hope the products aren't discountinued. I use silver effex quite often, it's the best back and white converter I've tried yet.

There was also a statistic about the percentage of people who open facebook for their dogs. I wonder if dog and stalker accounts are in that fake count, or if they do count as acti…

Some might not see how awesome this is, but for example: My dad'd blood work came up perfect year after year, zero symptoms. Even 1 year before pancreatic cancer metastasize. There…

There's a talk by Dr Donald W. Miller regarding how the original study claiming low fat diets lowered cholesterol was wrong, yet it was taken as basis for dietary guidelines by the…

They're assuming high level people don't know who, or where the cartel people are. Stand outside of the ferrari dealership and jewelry stores in MX, I'll bet they'll find plenty of…

Well, I've to admit I don't know the details of their closing, just what I've read. That they sold about 1.2 million copies according to VGchartz and an article quoted they needed …

I agree, people seem negative focusing too much in outermost layer like memory size, or that it isn't as powerful as an xbox. take a look at this: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/new…

Underpowered? I think not. Look at Nintendo DS: 67mhz Arm9. Who cares? Only developers because it's a pain in the butt to program for the thing. Other than that it delivers fun gam…
