can you explain this further?

This assumes a sudden collapse event happening within the 10 minutes that it takes to reset the hash rate. I'm struggling to think of global scenarios where that can happen so quic…

Your points are valid. IMO the key tradeoff b/w gold (analog) and bitcoin (digital) is extra resiliency vs usability. If there were a systemic collapse breaking governments, knocki…

It could be that the rise of 'enlightenment' word occurences in the 1960s refers to the enlightenment as the Buddhists and Zen practitioners speak of it instead of the European con…

Is there a link between being 'anatomically modern' (as you describe it) and the propensity to develop tools/culture?

This is a very interesting idea. Perhaps taping a sample session with some extraordinarily easeful people and showing it to participants can help model the openness involved. I'd b…

I agree that media trading is quite hand-wavy - similar to trading stocks. That said, it's quite possible that the article mistook 'hit rate' for 'conversion rate'. That would expl…

I speak as an African (Nigerian). As humans, we plan into the future. However, our planning timeframes are limited by how far into the future we can imagine. Further, our ability t…

What about "I've tested the market with a prototype over the last year that has generated revenue (not much but some) and now I'm recruiting a cofounder?" Still 50/50? Or should th…

Re: maintaining gains. Isn't the point to live free of the very measure of gain/loss this present moment?

It's pretty killer as a library. I use it to clip books (with its web clipper) from my browsings around the web. With the tag feature, it's bloody simple to build a highly organize…

OP mentions that we're reaching the limits of our inventiveness. Not true. We're just getting more accustomed to constant invention, constant change. When invention becomes the con…
