   If you suddenly went from a 30% to 40% tax rate, couldn't you imagine working more to make up the difference? There is a lot of social pressure to maintain lifestyle. American wages have stagnated since the 70s and people are working l

   Why would you assume that? I did add the word "any" in case you thought I was saying libertarians in general support BI.

   I'm baffled why any libertarians support basic income. It's basic wealth redistribution. It's forcing those who work to financially support those who don't work at threat of jail time.

   Nobody chooses which family he/she is born into, and nobody ever will. Each of us is randomly awakened, empty and dumb, on this Earth into a specific family and community outside our choosing, with its own mentors and values. This grou

   Voodoo.js - a Javascript library to integrate 3d controls seamlessly into 2d pages, and be able to mix them with other peoples 3d controls. You get a nifty parallax effect, too. Its all open source, and IMO the best option if you want non-i

   You don't need it, until you do. Several developer tools I use regularly eat up that memory like nothing when you run in certain modes. Development shouldn't feel like working on an airplane tray table.

   But if you were broadcasting location and velocity at all times, even if an aircraft lost power, you could project where the "unplanned water landing" would occur. That seems helpful. I wonder if Google's Project Loon [1] wou

    It's not just you. I was about to post this. On a related note, 11K per user is insane. What did Yahoo see in Broadcast.com?

    Dynamics Inc out of Pittsburgh created the first card with a programmable magnetic strip in 2010. I wonder if Coin is licensing their technology. Does anyone know?

    Yes in some cases, like software, I agree that positive motivation naturally exists. Negative motivation may also naturally exist. For example, if you enjoy your work, and the work is desirable, you'll be anxious about losing it. Howev

    Seems like it could be a great move, but it raises some questions. Given Microsoft's perspective, they know they need to increase Windows Phone share. The iPhone is on its way to become a niche device, so I doubt they would look to App

    There are so many impressive things going on here. The starting animation. Ambient occlusion. Integrating CSS 3D and WebGL. Even the achievements. Notice he scales down the resolution when there are several frames dropping below 45 FPS. I&#

    This is great. I also don't like when 3D is gimmicky, but I think a lot of that is because we haven't explore 3D design as much as 2D design. It's young. If 3D takes off like it has for movies and games, think of all the new

    This is very compelling. I've echoed many of these same thoughts. Growing a community has always been the goal, and that's true --- it would be the same community as ThreeJs, Modernizr, etc. That's a very good argument to mak

    Basically yes, I believe there are some novel ideas here worth patenting. Specifically, the unified coordinate system between 2D and 3D, and the methods of implementing it (here by using a virtual camera to align 3D coordinates with pixels

    I'm sorry to hear that. Point taken. My focus for Voodoo has always been about creating a great framework to fix a problem and make the web better. Legally, I am edging on the conservative side for now because I want to make sure the c

    Essentially yes. There's also some tweaking the CSS pointer-events property on those canvases to allow mouse events to fall through when you're not hovered over 3D content. I envision most people will want to position their 3D obj

    I 2nd this. Wouldn't it be great if nonviolent strategies for change were required learning in secondary schools? Not just history lesson facts like Ghandi did X and Martin Luther King did Y, but a real education about power in society
