By coincidence, I'd been looking into the problem of bitrot and what options exist. Hard drives are a starting point and last longer than removable discs. If going for optical, M-DISC seems to be by far the best option. https:/&#

Do you happen to live in Saigon? If so I'd love to meet up.

If you are considering doing it in Vietnam (islands like Phu Quoc or Con Dao) then I may be able to help with logistics.

Thanks for sending out a tweet as my Twitter account without asking or telling me. I really wanted that. Who knows what this site will do with your credentials on other sites.

I think there are still plenty of easy avenues to search for the man's (or team's) identity. It would only be appropriate to crowdfund a pool of bitcoins for a bounty on discovering Satoshi Nakamoto's identity.

I too once ran a bbs (614 area code). But the link between the bbs scene and today's Facebook is a bit tenuous, isn't it? Makes for an attractive headline though.

Each year a large number of people come to Detroit from around the world to photograph and then publish either articles or entire books on the "ruin porn" in Detroit. Some of these books sell for a pretty penny. But a number of the subject

Downtown Detroit, where many of the pictures were taken, is actually much safer than the US on average. But people would rather live in a sprawling suburb.

Actually, oil traders did store millions and millions of barrels of oil in super tankers in the sea. This was after the recent collapse in oil prices, when the futures price was higher than the immediate price. Without any risk, they coul

No. Tagged is a scam that, among other things, logs into your email accounts and sends mail to all your contacts saying you "tagged" them in photos, etc.

Why don't we collaboratively blacklist or push down domains from our Google results? This could be a stopgap measure until Google incorporates such a feature including the collaborative database or magically puts an end to spam. A proposal

Worst advice: Go back to school and get your bachelors in the middle of an economic bubble. Wait til it bursts, you can go back then when it's harder to find lucrative work.

The IRS is at least generous enough to let you make that quarter tax-free.

People are slowly realizing location-based + game mechanics is not an automatic win. A lot of people still caught up in the initial hype but for those still betting long on 4sq, I can think of 7 or so ways FourSquare-LBS will play out and

Here's my advice for Vietnam, probably also applies to Thailand. You don't need to bother finding a place before you arrive. 1. Go to the tourist/backpacker area, find accommodations. 2. Find a reasonable hotel you can stay in for a few we

Even if it was a good idea, considering the pace of technological development today do you see more benefit in one generation of practiced eugenics versus the advances in technology during that generation? Also, which of your arguments stil

This is a mirror image of the situation in Vietnam, not surprisingly. Loads of families who have saved too much money and are willing to send their ill-prepared children to no-name American universities (or community colleges). Lots of st

Scroll to the bottom and you'll get links to the other cities, outside of Silicon Valley, you should start a company in. A lot of potential in the Midwest; Chicago has already been covered and I expect a spotlight on Detroit in the future
