I wonder about all this talk and arguing back and forth over whether "it's a fake". What this man is expressing is real. I can confirm it is real, because as a human I can feel many of the same things, as I read it. Whether he will die in 3

I believe the retransmitted quantum packet would be necessarily different from the original. So the receiving node notices that the packet has been modified, but because it expects the (secure) hub to modify the original, all is well.

Everything you just mentioned is more or less public by its very nature. Encryption wouldn't make any sense even were it feasible.

Yes, of course both are. But still, you're only ever going to be conscious from the perspective contained within the original you. The copy may be mathematically identical, but it does not make sense that there would be any kind of a magica

Frankly, anyone who has paid attention to what Paul has actually said or done in the last 20 years knows this in no way represents his views. In fact, quite the opposite, Paul is by far the most open and tolerant in the GOP field. The fac

Agreed. It's the same as the "occupy" movement saying that corporations shouldn't influence government. It's true, but it's the politicians who are the problem. Everyone, the content providers included, should be representing their best i

Do you realize that the "same percentage tax as middle-income earners" would be LOWER than what they currently pay? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_States...

I think this would be much more appropriate. 15 years in technology is a lifetime. Enforcing a monopoly for so long ensures that there will be no real innovation/progress in that area. How can we, as a society, afford to be held back like

It's really depressing that business today is less about innovation and competition and more about dirty legal practices to destroy other members of an industry. This is some incredibly short-sighted zero sum game consideration. I hope we w

Right, but the mirror would have to have been placed at least as far back as the half way point to where you want to see. If you want to see back two million years, you would have had to place the mirror one million years ago.

Right, so govtrack.us does a pretty good job providing information on activities in congress. It's a great research source. This takes a very different approach. RepWatch.us actively builds a profile of how accurately your reps advance your

PHP is a tool. It's neither dead nor alive. Only your startup can be dead or alive. Stop worrying and start writing with whatever tools you like.

You're right. You're also slightly wrong. Yes, labor is not exactly comparable in market terms to other products--more sticky prices, more difficulty in estimating value, etc.--but the principle and its consequences remain. We DON'T HAVE t

True, in general--but not so much in this case. If a client is paying you to be their expert, they will (usually) understand and expect that you know more than they in this area. Part of what they should be paying you for is your experience

This is an interesting insight. Facebook/Twitter allow us to communicate the little things that are big in our own lives and see how much (little) those things really mean to others. Should eventually have a bit of a reality check effect.
