Absolutely! Spotify's 30M settlement with NMPA is a great example of this kind of failure in existing systems

Declaring ownership and provenance with complete certainty is very hard, which is why we don't profess to do it. Our approach is to nondestructively aggregate potentially conflicting claims and allow for more nuanced resolution at read

Filecoin is one of several proposed approaches for encouraging seeding ("pinning") in the IPFS network. In our network (Mediachain), we will probably start out by using tit-for-tat pinning between peers for this purpose.

Kind of surprised that the first comment isn't about automatically occluding these with google glass (yes, I know you can't fully paint over it http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/abrash/why-you-wont-see-hard-... )

Actually, you could program for the eMate (NewtonScript, which is surprisingly powerful -- you do need a mac to build the app but you could write code on the device itself, there were apps for this), and you could connect to the internet, t

To paraphrase the well-known maxim, you can never go broke underestimating the good taste of the american public (over a long enough timeframe). The IP status of the voice is a really fascinating question though, given how complex the curre

I can't wait for real animated holography to become available commercially. The static prints that Zebra Imaging makes are already incredible (full color, 90 degree viewing angle, etc) and the video footage of their live table prototype loo

Rebuilding speech/song based on existing phoneme library (i.e. the discography) is already practical and, like everything else in this domain, has been done long ago in japan: http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/12/ueki-loid-speech-synt...

Am I wrong in thinking that this is a completely industry-standard setup for RF testing? Many of the passages make it seem that Apple is going above and beyond the call of duty in their testing (like the heads filled with solution approxima

These are just a few statements I picked at random, without even taking the bait of spurious, unsupported "rah rah free markets would have made it better!" fluff sprinkled throughout. I don't know how you can celebrate innovation and be so

This article appears highly questionable (as Reason fodder often is). The list of "20th-century inventions that were never patented" is completely wrong, cellophane is USPTO #1266766, Bakelite is #1233298, zippers are contested because of t

fexl, loom looks very interesting, and the maintainer (you?) actually touches up on some specific market-based ideas I've been sort of idly kicking around in the FAQ (e.g. phone service contract exchanges). Is there a way to get an invite/s
