Sorry, I want some tenuous connection to VR/AR as well.

We've been hearing about it since forever .

I guess it depends on whether people believe cryptocurrencies have a future, and if they're confident Ethereum will still exist 10 years from now. I don't care if the price falls temporarily, it has the potential to make a major i

They have the moral high ground because a large proportion of their population isn't protesting against the monarchy or Queen. Nobody(except you) deems it concerning that the TV is 'hijacked' once a year, and your concerns ca

Hmm. If Darwinian evolution is based on factors currently present around the species, wouldn't it basically be optimizing for short-term factors? So you could call Darwinian evolution a greedy algorithm, that optimizes for a local maxi

I'd probably go for 4 if() checks, some 'less than'/'greater than'/'&&' checks should do it.

Yes, I get where you are coming from. I know my comment is somewhat irrational. That is why I examined my own sentiment - why do I want this news to stop? Because it feels like a rehearsed newsreel, a daily television drama. I'm afraid

I count 4 Uber stories on the front page today. There have been a few every week since the past few months. Will this sordid saga ever end? I feel this is like watching a newsreel about the same topics every few days.

SolarCoin is one such effort.

Makes me wonder if this comment will age well, after around 50-100 years.

This particularly worries me because if technical skills go out of vogue, then people skills would become conversely more important, and the thing I've optimized for all my life would become useless.

Can we get his children interested in programming or something?

Can we expect a similar POC for this P2P-based New Internet that you have scoped up? Basically, how feasible are the concepts explained by Richard?

It is fascinating to see in real life, how science-fiction style AI is becoming a reality, where nobody understands how machines produce their answer. Given a few more decades, I'm sure the Asimov short story - The Feeling of Power - w

Nice project! I'm especially interested by the possibility of a twitter-style feed per neighbourhood, the big red pins could look a little more varied though.

I wouldn't be comfortable watching a movie scene if I knew I was looking at computer-generated faces and voices.

This is a good link. I particularly liked the ending paragraph about motivation - I think it's all network effect. If my friends and people I look upto were working on environmental engineering then maybe I too would jump into it. Unfo

I agree with all of your points, except the last one. I don't think a shared ledger is required for interacting between multiple entities. We basically want a database that is beyond the control of any corporation - seems to me that a

Very interesting. At this point, there may be many smaller startups that are more innovative or have higher quality VR apps, but if they are competing against FB's massive hold on all aspects of everyday life, there isn't much dou

Think of it this way: there's only a certain amount of productive hours available to people for side programming, and either you spend a majority contributing to open source/building prototypes/learning new technologies/

Probably not direct consequences, more indirect ones like riots. And if things get that bad, then maybe erasing half or 75% human activities WOULD be the only way, don't need a Trump to declare that.

True, some corporations might be altruistic, but probably not all. Murderers still exist in society, and for those we need laws to guide everyone. If all laws and police disappeared suddenly, I think it would take less than 5 years for soc

If the root cause of this problem is that -companies violate privacy rights to gather more big data -more data translates to more investment (I'm seeing this happen at my current company right now) -VCs, who are the top of the food cha

Thanks for this insightful comment. The current VR status irritates me as well. It has only affecting gaming till now, despite the remote working/AR implications. What do you mean by an 'explosive growth pattern'?

Amazing how technology comes together, this seems like the type of thing people were dreaming about just a mere 10 years ago.

Exactly, I'm confused by all these statistics of 'x minutes of facebook per day'. We can't measure other unproductive activities that ALL humans indulge in, it's not as if society will suddenly start producing PhDs

I would hate to imagine drones dropping out of the sky if S3 went down in the future.
