Yeah, it's really a shame that geo-engineering projects keep getting shut down. We either control the climate, or it kills people. It's that simple. Without controlling the climate you don't get to pick and choose who lives a

Claim 1: bubbles are natural, that doesn't mean that underlying solutions are wrong, just that not all speculators are right or understand the problems being solved. Claim 2: Google 'Bitcoin Spacechains' Claim 3: On a long en

All value is explanatory, that is, even if it has "intrinsic value" like carbohydrates in ATP in a cell, it is still knowledge instantiated for a resilient purpose (eg to power a cell to replicate its knowledge). As explanations c

It starts with knowing why it was originally pronounced "eh-mohjee", and not "ee-mojee". The better question, then, if you really want to learn about culture, is why red is a good color in Japanese culture. I'll jus

I don't think you should quit, but oddly enough, this other HN post about quitting seems really appropriate. Check out the first flow chart here: https://jmsbrdy.com/blog/leaving-spring/ Mirroring what some o

Peer review is a waste of time, it becomes gatekeepers. Even Einstein got in a huge argument with a journal that went over his head because of this kind of gatekeeping. The best ideas can't be bought with money or PhDs. Bitcoin itself

Best Bitcoin content of the year, hands down. Check out BIP-119, too utxos.org. Bitcoiners may also want to consider sponsoring him on Github (I am), it's good for the ecosystem to support and signal paths for the future of Bitcoin: h

Flickr is awesome. As Instagram plays out, Flickr, and those that have paid for it for years, will be rewarded with full control over years and years and years of photos. I have full control of tens of thousands of photos I've taken si

I suspect most people won't understand the value until they immediately need the privilege of using it--a privilege which anyone with a computer has, but no one is required to exercise (unlike every other national currency).

Love to see it on the top of HN. To Popper! "Popper has argued (I think successfully) that a scientific idea can never be proven true, because no matter how many observations seem to agree with it, it may still be wrong. On the other h

How was, or is, this avoidable even now, and in existing monetary systems? One caveat is that though there are a few major actors, no one can be sure where they are physically. It is detached from political jurisdictions, which is the uniqu
