    Blockchain without decentralization isn't that exciting. The problem with banning crypto is that there will be an entrepreneurial group of people willing to accept cryptocurrencies…

    Cool! The more common reusable rockets become, the more we can assume their cost benefits and apply them to even more ambitious space projects.

    Sadly, I have been a vicitm of idea debt. As a young developer I had a grande vision of starting an online network of websites. I spent a solid month planning them all out, designi…

    Anyone else feel the need to do a parody video demonstrating how the ads have encroached on the organic link space over the years? Not hating, I actually like the new look, it was …

    I always assumed this was due to the language barrier. China has roughly 10 million English speakers while India has hundreds of millions. To me, language appears to be one of the …

    Just one look at blockchain tech should tell governments that they might as well give up on the pointless endeavor of eliminating information via intimidation. Technology is slowly…

    I miss Perl. It was the first programming language I learned as a kid. I read the entire Perl for dummies book when I was 14 and uploaded my first script to a "cgi-bin" shortly aft…

    Correctly interpreting online communication is difficult. What one person considers constructive feedback another person may interpret as negativity. Reminds me of that Key & Peele…

    Great article, I myself have been both on the sending and receiving end of such discourse. I like OSX and love Node.js which can become a source of confrontation. Talk about node.j…

    I agree, I love my Gear VR but I think the mobile solution needs to be an all-in-one device. I could see mobile and desktop VR using the same headset. With USB-C they could charge …

    Great ideas, I can see public speaking becoming a large attraction. VR-based conferences may gain popularity where you can watch presentations and do a live Q&A at the end. Imagine…
