I created 4 reasonably successful companies in my life, and about 12 that fell flat. The first success was in high school. But the first million+ was at age 34. At first I thought …

pymnts.com ...I was so hoping for a site on grape meads. Alas.

Example Paint Artists Given A group of peers. In this case a self selected group of persons who paint artistically, say 4 hours or more a week. Let these be the peers. Hypothesis A…

Beautiful, +1

Yeah, most people did not. I know, I have been saying this for years... ever since I studied ipv6 in the olden days (the 90's). All but one or two people I ever discussed the "trac…

...and for there to be a war on drugs in the first place. Eliminate the fundamentals, and there should be no issues at all, really.

Burns: I actually had the chance to meet Klein, and his research is (IMO) amazing. See his booklet and his product [1] (I use it and it works amazingly well). Throat: "Garlic Tea" …

"I'm more concerned about the treatment and sales of honey." Not sure I am more concerned about the treatment of honey than I am about the overuse of pesticides (ethical treatment …

As a beekeeper and an interested party: CCD: I believe that CCD is primarily caused by increased pesticide usage, glyphosate being the most common. Are bees treated ethically by bi…

Change your inputs (culture), change your outputs (requirements). Ergo, you don't need that kind of money if you live more sustainably. So, IMO, try bee keeping[1][2] and see if it…

I think this childishness is the essential requirement of centralized power. Our current economic system rises from our (personal) taste for the conveniences of centralized power. …

Surely you're not suggesting that the government and corporate interests are completely unrelated, and no money ever goes back and forth for good or services? Wasn't it Google that…

lol... that was funny. "...large groups of people can work on unknown projects without the public finding out" I completely agree. I have heard the opposite line of reasoning used …

I cannot agree more. There will be a lot of so-so, but... there will be some stunners as well. Not sure where all these people end up, but there are some amazingly talented young a…

I have thought many times of moving to another country (India being high on my list) just so that I could learn and practice medicine outside of the US Money/Chemical game called "…

Yeah, I have two friends who were both long term cigarette smokers quit after using e-cigs for a short period of time. My understanding is that without the free-based nicotine in m…

IMO the very nature of the centralization of power works against individual rights, one of which is (arguably) privacy. As corporations grow they tend to lose a sense of the custom…

Can you recommend a public repo which demonstrates use of the HttpLuaModule? [Edited to add:] Another comment mentions the Lapis framework which gives [me] a good starting point. @…

heh... missed this rabbit trail. Forgive me for the offense. s/Drunken fool/uncaringly ignorant/. @all, Thanks for the correction whether harsh or gentle, I don't mind. If its call…

Except in every practical way... ergo, the common misunderstanding.

Yeah, I would love to have time to develop this thesis as well. Let me think about it a bit, and I'll try to post a five sentence postulate. As concerns nature, my observation is t…

No, I believe that we do not understand how far nature has taken us. We assume that genetic material moving around is accidental. I assume that most of the movement is intentional …

Yeah... I was not aware of this. Another food source I will have to investigate. Chickens, I have found, love rice.

Forgive me, I did not meant to imply that "geneticists" as a group do it solely for money... that quip was aimed at Monsanto and typical public policy. As concerns "necessary withi…

Right, I am not and never was a geneticist. The point I am trying to make is that we assume too much. I would say that this statement, "Nature is much more a script-kiddie than us"…
