Compared to Australia, New Zealand has a significant Maori / Polynesian population. If you combine a part of Australia with a part of Fiji, you would get similar mix of people and also a similar economic output to New Zealand. While th

The core worry for me is that, Facebook represents the social gaming, Zynga, pay-to-grow-a-plant kind of gaming that is the antithesis of hardcore gaming which Oculus (especially with Carmack) represents. They are two fundamentally differen

You have posted 10 positive Microsoft reviews in the past year which corresponds to approximately 10%-20% of your posts. Are you paid to do this or just really into the company?

Definitely. I'm really interested in the progress of OpenPGP.js. It could possibly replace a lot of the sketchier parts of Cryptocat.

Guy creates a blog and his first single post is to discourage someone truly trying to innovate in the cryptography space (though admittedly more in usability aspects). After listening to Glen Greenwald at the CCC it was quite clear that cry

I understand if you are fine with it. It has lost most of its meaning with history but I still cringe a little whenever I read it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_names_for_the_Briti... http://en.wi

I would just like to point out that many British people find the word Brit pejorative and that you shouldn't use it unless you want to offend.

While this is an interesting piece of technology, I can't read this article without cringing. The bias towards "Chinese technology" over "European technology" and the constant comparison between the two makes this read like some sort of pro

If you look past the horrible sexism I see an actually different undercurrent going on here. The clash of cultures is not between these "brogrammers" and women, but between brogrammers and "geek culture". Geek culture has for various reason

Me being blunt. Find someone to help you write your resume? Why can't you do this yourself? You are just offloading responsibility. It takes a day to do and is fairly easy. Find a good recruiter? Cannot you just start applying for jobs now?

I am inferring from your post that you are a lawyer which would give you a vested interest in against anything reducing the number of court cases. Next your anecdote rests on the loser paying an unreasonable fee for their situation ($400k).

One does wonder if this article was financed by oil companies. Richard Pike, the specialist the article referred to had a 25 year career at BP [1] and has put forward arguments that oil shortage is a myth [2]. I am adding The Economist to m

Loving the concept but maybe you should be charitable and make it free as it is really just a tutorial + triggers.

Just a warning who anybody thinks the book is ancient and "gutenbergable" (as the name kind of implies). Don't bother, it is only 10 years old.

I would argue there is some selection bias going on here. If we assume that both sexes are trying to maximise their evolutionary fitness then a beautiful woman marrying a less attractive man would indicate there are other factors involved.

I think everyone should spend an evening trying to write in ed. Knowing that most of unix was written in this simple editor shows the power of tight constraints in design decisions and the creativity that can come from them. It also makes t

I'm finishing up a mathematics degree so I'll tackle question A from my perspective. If you know how to program a CS degree can be very tedious. This is mainly why I made the switch to mathematics. On the other side mathematics will teach y

Following the general rule in economics that special interest groups are more powerful than the masses in passing legislation I think any regulation would make this worse i.e. "enforced real-id online to make us safer".

I like this idea but couldn't implement it due to problems with my heart. I think the old company of diet + exercise + not being grossly overweight should never be overlooked. Also I find frequent walks (on the pretense of getting coffee) c

My favourite of these tools in Centreon. It is an unholy mix of just about everything (nagios snmptraptranslator etc) and would be awesome if only a few more opensource developers would work on it.

I am trying to migrate from Facebook to Buzz. From the look of things it suits me better. I never enjoyed Facebook that much as it seems there is a race to get the most friends and I find all the photo sharing a little disturbing.

A little on a tangent but I'd like to dispute the conception of MS Paint as something that can only create poor art. Take a look at the following: http://www.drububu.com/tutorial/mspaint.html

Maybe there is another side to things. I know that creating a new programming language isn't the easiest way to earn money but if you are successful there are lots of interesting ways to make money. Even an open source language provides pos
