I created 4 reasonably successful companies in my life, and about 12 that fell flat. The first success was in high school. But the first million+ was at age 34. At first I thought the article was a little too academic, but... honestly it fi

Yeah, most people did not. I know, I have been saying this for years... ever since I studied ipv6 in the olden days (the 90's). All but one or two people I ever discussed the "trackability of everything" with was like, "

Burns: I actually had the chance to meet Klein, and his research is (IMO) amazing. See his booklet and his product [1] (I use it and it works amazingly well). Throat: "Garlic Tea" which sounds disgusting... is fantastic for anythi

"I'm more concerned about the treatment and sales of honey." Not sure I am more concerned about the treatment of honey than I am about the overuse of pesticides (ethical treatment of bees), but I do agree that honey as a prod

As a beekeeper and an interested party: CCD: I believe that CCD is primarily caused by increased pesticide usage, glyphosate being the most common. Are bees treated ethically by big farms: I believe the better question is, "Is our phil

Change your inputs (culture), change your outputs (requirements). Ergo, you don't need that kind of money if you live more sustainably. <IdealistRant/> So, IMO, try bee keeping[1][2] and see if it starts to change your cultu

I think this childishness is the essential requirement of centralized power. Our current economic system rises from our (personal) taste for the conveniences of centralized power. For it we are willing to relinquish personal responsibility

Surely you're not suggesting that the government and corporate interests are completely unrelated, and no money ever goes back and forth for good or services? Wasn't it Google that optimized the NSA datacenters as early as 2005? I

lol... that was funny. "...large groups of people can work on unknown projects without the public finding out" I completely agree. I have heard the opposite line of reasoning used to "refute" actual evidence many too man

I cannot agree more. There will be a lot of so-so, but... there will be some stunners as well. Not sure where all these people end up, but there are some amazingly talented young artists out there... many of whom can and do produce better a

I have thought many times of moving to another country (India being high on my list) just so that I could learn and practice medicine outside of the US Money/Chemical game called "healthcare."

IMO the very nature of the centralization of power works against individual rights, one of which is (arguably) privacy. As corporations grow they tend to lose a sense of the customer as a means, and instead choose which type of customer the

Can you recommend a public repo which demonstrates use of the HttpLuaModule? [Edited to add:] Another comment mentions the Lapis framework which gives [me] a good starting point. @subs: thanks!

heh... missed this rabbit trail. Forgive me for the offense. s/Drunken fool/uncaringly ignorant/. @all, Thanks for the correction whether harsh or gentle, I don't mind. If its called for, tone is less relevant.

Yeah, I would love to have time to develop this thesis as well. Let me think about it a bit, and I'll try to post a five sentence postulate. As concerns nature, my observation is that (if I can personify nature, and grant it intention

No, I believe that we do not understand how far nature has taken us. We assume that genetic material moving around is accidental. I assume that most of the movement is intentional within the evolved system. I assume that we should not mov

Forgive me, I did not meant to imply that "geneticists" as a group do it solely for money... that quip was aimed at Monsanto and typical public policy. As concerns "necessary within the design" I would argue that you do.

by moens 13y ago
Right, I am not and never was a geneticist. The point I am trying to make is that we assume too much. I would say that this statement, "Nature is much more a script-kiddie than us" is just such an assumption. How much of transgeni

I am not saying that we should eliminate genetic research. I am saying that we need to isolate genetic modification from the general genetic pool until we understand what we are doing. Until half a year ago "we" (geneticists) thou

Also, while reading these, take the time to watch "Kingdom of Men" again to get a feel for what the real issue actually looks like. Living organisms appear (IMO, and subtly in other research) to be able to detect code base tamperi

Unfortunately I believe @northernmonkey and all OP's are talking about the "average American" and maybe the "average human". After all, in the US anyway, aren't we-the-people the government? That would make the
