This assumes a sudden collapse event happening within the 10 minutes that it takes to reset the hash rate. I'm struggling to think of global scenarios where that can happen so quickly. What are the chances that collapse is a sudden eve

Your points are valid. IMO the key tradeoff b/w gold (analog) and bitcoin (digital) is extra resiliency vs usability. If there were a systemic collapse breaking governments, knocking off power and telecom networks etc, gold would be im

It could be that the rise of 'enlightenment' word occurences in the 1960s refers to the enlightenment as the Buddhists and Zen practitioners speak of it instead of the European context of the word. The rise would map with the coun

This is a very interesting idea. Perhaps taping a sample session with some extraordinarily easeful people and showing it to participants can help model the openness involved. I'd be game.

I agree that media trading is quite hand-wavy - similar to trading stocks. That said, it's quite possible that the article mistook 'hit rate' for 'conversion rate'. That would explain why snooping for imps "nea

Agreed. Do you think this boom will happen in developed or developing markets?

I think this is a great idea. I'd add that the idea of the mandatory hours in the open plan be sold rather than enforced. A second point. There is a design challenge here too. How much open is too open? How many cubicles is too closed?

I've known Tony now for 6 years. He's smart and extremely resilient - two great qualities of an entrepreneur. I know little about GPU compilers though. What are the key factors to make this successful?

I like this idea and was thinking just the same. The real advantage is customizability at scale.

I'm in exactly the same position. I'd honestly rather spend my time meditating, reading or playing outside in the world. I rationalize the renunciation of social media by remembering that I'm looking to build something incred

I speak as an African (Nigerian). As humans, we plan into the future. However, our planning timeframes are limited by how far into the future we can imagine. Further, our ability to imagine the future depends on how likely we believe that f

What about "I've tested the market with a prototype over the last year that has generated revenue (not much but some) and now I'm recruiting a cofounder?" Still 50/50? Or should the earlier founder be compensated fo

It's pretty killer as a library. I use it to clip books (with its web clipper) from my browsings around the web. With the tag feature, it's bloody simple to build a highly organized library. Its architecture applied to any data store (books

OP mentions that we're reaching the limits of our inventiveness. Not true. We're just getting more accustomed to constant invention, constant change. When invention becomes the constant state, nothing is seen as invention. Invention is now

All true. But with a customer development focus, they'll see failure more quickly with less resources. For example, instead of renovating your restaurant and reopening it with your personal conviction that it is now better, why not test dif

I don't buy that identities were previously generated from within. I think that pre-internet, the average person assumed a stronger piece of their identity from family, job, nationality, gang etc. than from their inner convictions. The inte

Yes, imagine a website where you post step-by-step instructions to a goal. The work of discovery is done by the curator and the student can wander through the paths just a link away from the necessary material. Match that with a quora-like
