don't blame this startup for trying. i don't know how big a cut the telcos take and yes, a phone should not be that expensive but we'll see where the price goes. for a start, higher prices are completely normal and later hope

I hope you fail with CC and let the public know bitcoin's strength rather than see sneak in some paragraph in the small print of your TOS that allows you to keep the CC data for half a year just in case.

I am 100% sure that automatically landing a pizza in your front yard will be technically feasible long before the theft rate of these neat gadgets would drop to an acceptable rate. Maybe the first copters will parachute the pizzas :)

I disagree!!! Facebook is great from the sender side and so is G+ but both suck at the receiving side. What we need is not a way to select who we spam as that is a feature that would be ignored by the loud mouths. We need a feature to selec

All anecdotal. Wish they would gps-tag a dog and proof it's commuting between a small set of stations regularly visiting the same stations. I mean, using the train to just get away from where you are would already be cool, but that's not th

Oh great! ;) So I can order a pizza to my GPS coordinates paid with bitcoin from my Android on the beach? That's cool! Only problem with an anonymous order (hey, of course it should be anonymous!) is that people might want to take the drone

I searched for variance and apparently nobody mentioned this before: They talk of Mean request time: 306ms Median request time: 46ms Which indicates a very high variance, so don't take for granted that an x50 increase of performance would r

A shop charging 20% to shop for you is not the bitcoin break through that would change the rate within hours. Look at the trade volume in $$. It increased faster than the exchange rate, so my guess is that speculators parted from their coin

Normally when I ask people to review a draft, I put it into an etherpad. Etherpad also features version control to the letter, concurrent editing, tagging of versions, editor colors. Sure, for anything that requires formatting, it would fai

maybe they store a hash along your strongly encrypted file. this way they could go after copy-righted files accross the system once reported at the cost of quasi-decrypting some of your files. your really unique files would still be save al

If you happen to plan on making yet another mobile OS, make sure it runs Android apps. Anything that is a burden to the developers will not fly easily. Bada OS? It's fast, so what? People slowly get that "smart phone with touch screen and f

Muting … can only be the first step. I don't want to mute Aaron Swartz because I'm sick of hearing about him but I want to tell my computer that I know of the fact that he died. I also read his wikipedia article. My computer now should know

Uhm, I hover to not trigger outbound traffic and check the actual url of the link before I click. Wouldn't want my browser to try and render a page that I didn't even click.

Demurrage's value is equal to miners' reward. This greatly limits Freicoin to not set a too high percentage. Imagine 50% of the existing money reserve going into bookkeeping of Freicoin transactions. To put 5% into perspective consider exch

Ok, so I am a Bitcoin fan and I am a demurrage fan but I couldn't figure out how you could combine these two. 5% of all coins disappear per year. (BTW: Gesell's Wörgl had a much much higher demurrage.) I read this would be equal to the bloc

Who is "you"? You, adrianwaj could make it more appealing to bitcoiners by offering some cool features. I programmed a bitcoin wallet for facebook (and never put it live as I fear handling other people's money) but of course, that's a cool

Thanks for the link. It has some good tips but I guess it's indicative of how hard it can be to give direct negative feedback that even your book on the subject doesn't provide one example of how to give negative feedback. I'm not sure if t
