Not sure how this story is breaking and unexpected. This is exactly the type and style of program that was expected right after 9/11. It's totally the NSA's playground and the co-o…

CIA != NSA and I'd be pessimistic on the CIA funding projects for the NSA. They aren't the same org and they have reasons to not be, so they aren't all chummy. This reminded me of …

Wish he spent more time on meaningful work instead of retorting inflammatory web postings. He could have done two things in far shorter time. 1) Debunked the original article 2) Us…

Iiiiiiiiiii wanna beeeee anarchy. Sorry folks. We should have been well beyond the point of detached thought experiments about this. Change the power structures or change the power…

Yeah, but those are just questions on paper! They after me lucky charms! When you sign a legal form, especially tied to a business, you might want to consider the ramifications of …

Pay bands. Loss of the love/age discrimination. Hours/screw your stress. Sorry... we don't understand what you do enough to warrant paying you 2x-3x what we pay the grads and we pa…

I need to underline that he throws video in like it's nothing. Sure, just for images without responsibility of 6-8 9's for peoples' treasured decade of photos, you can approach the…

He also said unlimited video.

So you want: - unlimited storage for a large collection of images - additional unlimited storage for an acceleratingly large archive of video - minimal local caching and, likely, v…

Oh, as in FroontPage. Totally need this. Edit: Sorry for flippancy. I sense the challenge of the over-complete demo. Eventually, the design requires interfacing with developers who…

I want to respectfully disparage your statement. Doubling zero is zero. Doubling a small amount is likely still a small amount. They need to sell somewhere like 10k units to make t…

So, you just released a game after what was likely a big investment in heart, time, and money and you haven't pulled any money back out yet? Did you expect something different afte…

The cynic in me says, "How Kaggle wastes the time of many talented individuals while enabling corporations to give the finger to their staff." I should start providing prizes for t…

Talk about putting up a shingle and calling yourself an exchange. The clamor from the crowd that they need to do better PR gets me chuckling the most. They are fairly transparent a…

How useful is a "currency" if it 1) has volatility like a penny stock and 2) raises the stakes on 0-day defense to something ridiculous? When I hear interviews where people (bitcoi…

So, the disappointment is merely a naming problem that Apple baked for itself by starting/sticking to a numbering scheme when most device makers have an "internal" code and then th…

To give them the finger, because he knows that no matter what Apple delivers for their updated flagship, it will be 100% better than anything else out there in all respects. Anyone…

It's almost like there's an IRC channel devoted to dispatching those invested in the scheme to flood the online community consciousness with fanciful ideas of wealth and splendour.…

So financial journalists have no idea how these things are made, used, or what place they have within transactions, economies, etc. and you expect masses of people to eventually fe…

Don't be so dramatic. From a usability perspective, it works enough. Also, interactivity is changing and themes are options. People don't hover or click with touch devices. Many UI…

A graph since no calculator was provided. Zoom out a bit to get the right scale. http://bit.ly/11wIBQo

What is the opposite of FUD? Everything surrounding bitcoin screams pump and dump. Exponential growth curve. Seeding and pumping of bitcoin stories and comments... Cash your paper …

The ramification of our current context on undesirable behavior is great, but daunting. The attraction of this issue by that many means it has great importance to that many people.…

Public shame is not a problem. Public shame is less about an individual and more about sharing expectations with a community. Shame on people who can't help but blurt out clumsy pe…
