However, Salmon's incentives aren't aligned the same and regardless of his desire to show a lack of bias to be a "good journalist", there is a point that he stands a lot to gain if…

The solution is to learn color and how it works. Start with something like color theory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory

Have these types of things happened on Kickstarter before (or has anyone attempted to just completely game the system?) What types of recourse do investors have? Any?

I wonder if this has something to do with environment or just personal insecurity.

Not really. In that situation you're telling people you know how to do something you don't. In this situation you're telling people you have no idea but can probably figure it out.…

Sure. On the flip side of my argument there is also something to say: quite a few startup designers could learn a lot from following such a process at some point. There's a lot of …

Not quite sure this applies too much in startupland. There does appear to be a shift away from traditional IA practices with most startup designers, but largely because it takes to…

We are still missing each other somewhere here. I'm not saying that this article doesn't help, but I'm saying it's the equivalent of pouring water on a fire, and we're ignoring the…

Is there such thing as a "do not mail" list? If it is possible to opt-out of private (tele)marketing and block spam, then logically it should be possible to opt out of this service…

That's not what I'm getting at at all. This might be the most misunderstood thing I've written. If this keeps up I'll likely rewrite again. Read my last paragraph in my post again,…

People are misunderstanding; it's time for an edit. What I'm trying to get at is that awareness alone is not going to solve this issue , and we are very narrowly focused on this "B…

Younger generations are often more malleable than older ones. There is a reason why many cultures have a proverb similar to the "old dog, new tricks". I'm not saying that there's n…

Why are we are focusing consistently on a short-term solution to what seems like a larger issue? I personally don't see a quick fix to all of this, and it seems to me that the real…

Winer put this whole debate succinctly. Hypocritical comments like this often seem to stem from one of two things: a desire to drum up needless press conflict or a complete lack of…

Heh, that's not how most people think. It's more like: Security! It's a total non-issue! Why would anyone want to break my app? Most people seem to feel this way until their apps a…

Cocky, rash, and likely to be burned by YC is more likely the thing here. If you want YC to pay attention to what you're doing, why confront it and ask for a challenge? If you're s…

This really sounds like a game for hardcore programmers (16-bit emulation, "assembly in space" as h2s called it.) Minecraft is far more accessible: will this really gain nearly as …

MX/A records can be useful for this as well.

Yes, they can, if not in staff in tenacity.

So all this time Cray has been doing it right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cray-3_processor_brick.jpg

I have a basic understanding of how viruses work at the cellular level. The problem is that DRACO doesn't seem to kill the virus; it stops its propagation. There is a big differenc…

The thing that worries me about DDG is their reliance on others' search engines. If there was ever a true defection from one of the big guys' services to DDG (i.e., if DDG was actu…

If that happened, I'd just take greater advantage of online return policies if something was completely off from what was expected. A thorough reading of user reviews usually stops…

I'm missing a bit of the logic here, then. If I kill the cells infected, won't the latent viruses go and infect a different cell anyway? DRACO appears to be a medical scorched-eart…
