There are Yogis that claim they can thrive on 2.5 hours of sleep, and that they've been doing that their entire life. I don't think he addresses this subject in the book or in his …

Low carb is not (only) keto. And given the fact the ketosis changes completely the rules of the game, I would actually put keto in it's own category. So 100g of carbs seems like a …

The oldest project I know of that tried to do something similar was Naked Objects, which later became Apache Isis (the Java version at least). What's the difference between Alan Pl…

Not even the people that pretend to care are putting in the minimum necessary effort to fight this. So where does the war in the title come from? "War on/against x" is becoming a m…

PoW is theoretically better in this regard. I mean, in theory the market should push the profit down to a minimum, forcing the miners to spend their revenues in order to keep minin…

True is you manage to get into keto. But what happens if you get close, but not quite?

There is this principle that I always bring up when it comes to our interaction with the government, but it fits perfectly here too. You might be able to give up control over somet…

This is a very recent interpretation. It is legally true, but it goes against the true meaning of the word. When you work for a charity, do you ask for a raise? Do you get a bonus …

Not trying to defend Roger Ver, but that is an awful interpretation. He wasn't shaming anybody for being poor. He was just trying to emphasize, what in his view is a discrepancy be…

> This is unprecedented. Don't get me wrong, I like Kotlin, but Ceylon did the multi platform thing much better. They have real platform modules, built into the language (not just …

That's not entirely true. Only in the blockchain world there are two Rust projects I know of: - the parity ethereum client: https://github.com/paritytech/parity - the exonum framew…

I agree and I appreciate what they are trying to do. But just as a counter-argument, look how a simple lock looks like in Rust [1]: fn main() { let counter = Arc::new(Mutex::new(0)…

Well, a fun fact: there is nothing funny about that list :). It should have been called "Some facts about Rust's growing popularity". Now, my predicament: I love Rust's type system…

> Inequity doesn't mean much wrt Bitcoin IMO. I'm sorry, but you can't brush that subject off with a single sentence. It's a huge problem. If you want a real currency, that is. You…

I wasn't claiming anything, just providing a different perspective (see the "might" in my sentence). But could you please shed some light on this sentence: > Yet, bonobos are indee…

> Our forebears lived very violent lives. I've been reading some books on the subject that claim the contrary, also based on archaeological proofs (and on identifying faults with t…

1. I see the the current batch of crypto-currencies as an experiment and their valuation more like a bet on which currency will manage to adapt to the future. 2. Not all properties…

There are currencies with governance built in: PIVX and DASH are the two main exampled I know of. Basically the nodes that have a stake in the system are allowed to vote on the dir…

Is there a spec? They talk about modules and I am curious about their syntax (if any). If we are to support a new multi-platform ecosystem, we should make sure it is built on a sta…

Some clarifications: 1. Angular 2 is not object oriented in the standard meaning of the term: it does not rely on inheritance or polymorphism that much. But it does rely on classes…

I've been reading about these kind of experiments for years now and they all do the same mistake: it's not basic income if it has a deadline. Almost nobody will leave his job / sto…

I'm replying here but I'm trying to reply to the entire thread. - So you are talking about how much value we create and that we should receive more of it. - Then someone else menti…
