Inflation is currently controlled by adjusting the amount of new money printed to back up loans given to large banks. Instead of printing new money in this way, we could just give the new money directly to the citizens. Quick napkin math sh

If you go to http://bodybrowser.googlelabs.com/body.html# then you can get a little further, but it still complains about not having webGL enabled.

How much money have you made with these tactics? How much have you lost?

I just lost billions of potential dollars, because some college kid couldn't see the practical applications and published. What would your response be? What if you were sleeping in someone else's garage, it was less than freezing temperatu

I have so damned many phonecalls to make tomorrow. A lot of powerful, and wealthy people will never talk to me again because of this. Fuck. Fuck. Fuckity. Fuck.

Yes. I do. I was going to bet on the supershort, and superlong funds. (2-4 x average market returns) for short term periods, and double my money every few days. I was only waiting to build capital. Now I have zero time to build capital bef

BTW - My 'Calmness Indicator' was simply the ratio of capital letters and exclamation marks to other text. It wasn't 87 percent, but close enough. HULK SMASH! BAD SCIENTISTS! BAD!

I am very angry about this. I was damned close to going live. My code was written. My backtesting showing amazing results. Now every douchenozzle on earth will be onboard the bandwagon, and render it useless. EVERY TIME I HAVE A GOOD IDEA S

The higher a monkey can climb, the more he shows his tail. That said this article brought a tear to my eye.

I want to do web appliction penetration testing, or really any type of security work. I've been doing it my entire life as a hobby, and since a recent Reddit post wherein I expressed my frustration at being listened to for bug reports I've

Only by introducing a delay where is none is needed. This makes things slower for the rest of us. 1 extra millisecond per user * 8 billion users * times 10 logins a day == Lots Of Lost Man Hours, probably enough to rebuild the great pyramid

You are a coder, aren't you? Let me restate it more precisely: The fact that my needs are not being met is their fault. The fact that I have those needs is mine. My use case, and those of many others, requires the ability to 'follow' othe

I followed them back after they followed me, so in a way it's my fault... In another it isn't. The whole follow me, and I'll follow you thing is effective from a marketing point of view, which is why the place is filled with useless affili

I don't know, but I've been describing twitter as a 'digital ghetto' for months now. If they don't put a stop to the spammers, and build some better tools to filter users they're gonna get MySpaced in a big way. EDIT This stunning bit

I started/ran one. On a single box. Yeah. Seriously. All it takes is content. Serious, good, content. Constantly. QuickSilverScreen.com. It was top 100 (according to Alexa) for a month or so before I gave it away to a Swedish dude named Ne

When I did this same shit to Reddit a year ago (during the time they were doing it to Sears whilst crying 'I'm being oppressed!) they all called me an asshole. http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/9cvvp/why_it_was... Now it's beca

It's pretty simple. I've never heard of Yell before now. If they'd opened up this data, than I would have. Especially if they only allowed usage under an attribution required license.

I used to work in a mental hospital, and we were very serious about HIPAA. Anyhow, HIPAA only covers personally identifiable patient information so I think they'd be cool as long as it couldn't be traced back to the original person. Althoug

TV listings and ratings data for the last 20 years. No idea what I'd do with it, but I'd find something to reference it against.

That would be fun. Especially when cross referenced with other data sets. Things like 'Condom sales rise, when house is a rerun.'

I've looked for similar things, and been unable to find them. For people like us who need these things, but don't want to do it alone their should be a sort of Wikipedia/Digg like distributed lexical database. Everyone contributes data as

I'd like someone to take a bunch of recently deceased human brains and apply very small amounts of voltage to the individual neurons while the brain is in some sort of Magnetoencephalography device (SQUID, SERF, Whatever). Then average all

What other n-gram corpus' are there? I've been looking, and all I can seem to find is some web spammer trying to sell me one. I don't particularly care about the license, but I'd rather not have to build my own spider to crawl and generate

Well. That should be a simple decision. Would 'many websites' want/need it, if so would it be enough to generate more ad revenue than you'll loose in subscriptions/customer revenue? If so than you have a viable business model. If not, than

Well, that's sort of what the study is saying... That it doesn't work like that.

Sometimes physical goods ARE experiential as well, for instance a nice steak, or purchasing the hot tub outright. The difference pointed out by the study is that the memory of the steak is likely to make you happier in the long run than ow

This is all so true, and yet hard to focus on in real life. I mean if the decision were phrased 'Would you rather pay a babysitter, take your SO out for an excellent meal, followed by a night of drunken shenanigans, and finish up making pas

It's my understanding that certain turtles don't exhibit telomere shortening, and are effectively 'immortal' as well in that they don't age.
