I'm trying to wrap my head around this (what is probably very simple) physics question. If I have a pound (unit of weight), and let it hang, the amount of force (potential energy) …

at least until they decide to take it away. I'm still not convinced anyone should spend any of their resources toward the platform when there's no guarantee they'll uphold this dea…

perhaps reframing your question / perspective might shed some light... It's ok buddy, whatever you say...

Sounds like you are having difficulty discerning between criticism and hate. Criticism is a genuine conversation bringing up new, relevant points. Hate comments regurgitate the sam…

I guess we should consider your decisions as the "optimal and correct decisions"? Are you a billionaire too?

I finally feel at peace with this issue, in a much more significant way than ever before. When I talk to those folks anymore I think they'll just remind me of my 3 year old nephew.…

I find it a relatively trivial exercise to model my thinking onto any language that I have a relatively broad understanding of, including PHP, Javascript, etc. So it's always confu…

Watch talk by Lawrence Lessig SCALE 12x: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3O1MC1AqvM

After reflecting on this a bit, I think the biggest problem is that the point of the whole talk wasn't brought up until the end. Who knew this was actually about Campaign Finance R…

I was speaking with a friend the other day about the hypothesis of a bubble. He was interested in my take on the matter. I said "Think about the big picture. I'm not talking about …

I think our world views may differ. For example I believe that corruption / illegal activities don't stop because you're using a traceable monetary system. And we probably also wil…

Even if the cost to mine the coin ended up being slightly more than $1USD, over time as the coin is transferred multiple times to multiple people, the value increases due to the fa…

What about real currency isn't anonymous? If (god forbid) someone took $100 in cash to a pedophile and bought pornography, how is this traceable in the existing system?

I think the trick would be to try to ensure the "mining" of the coin ended up such that the cost to mine the coin cost approximately $1USD. So in the end someone who has this parti…

I'm even thinking (outside the box here) that one could say "This is worth 1 USD, and is to be used only for purposes of transferring value between accounts". Rules-based system wh…

With all the "red tape" surrounding alt currencies, do you think there's room for "alt currencies" which technically only behave as a "tranfer" mechanism? In other words, if the al…

ART+COM should look at the comparison photos in this article. Google Earth blows ART+COM out of the water. And that's besides the fact that they're both trying to represent real th…

That's 15 x $1700, not the other.

people in Boston, or any major metropolitan city are (to be politically correct) mentally handicapped thinking that $1700 per month for 450 sq ft of space is ok. I have my own cons…

I would say it's probably close to impossible to directly correlate a developer's input to an amount of money his effort is worth in the form of a commission. Also software plannin…

It will be interesting to see how this goes for you...

My 2 cents, from what I've been able to gather, the best resources in other countries are being paid comparably to US, or they've already migrated or set up a work visa with a US c…

Is it just me, or did anyone else immediately notice the conference is in Denver? I'm anticipating a potential trend here :)

Why does the crappiest code tend to contain the "witty" comments. It's like these folks think they know what they're doing.
