My bank already knows my email address and phone number(s).

I would expect that the easiest way of doing this would be for the banks to handle it all - when I buy something my bank gets a receipt signed by the shop's bank to say that I did buy item X at time Y at location Z. My bank could perhaps then countersign the receipt to link that strongly to my identity.

It would be particularly good if the format included a standard representation of tax paid (VAT etc.) - would make filling out expense claims so much easier.

Regarding your idea of data being uploaded instantly, or nearly instantly, at generation: I think this is spot on, but I don't think (and I surely hope not) that the data will be uploaded to Google's (or anybody elses, in particular) servers.

Instead, I think (and hope) that the data will be seeded in a manner similar to Bittorrent, and stored in a distributed way.

The big reason I think Web apps will succeed, though, is that it's a common API. HTTP might not be the best protocol for everything, ever, but it's a pretty good protocol. JavaScript might not be the best language for everything, ever, but it's a pretty good language.

The things that our OS:es do for us today, they can keep on doing, and that can be written in C or Java or assembler, but they will eventually have to expose that functionality to the Web platform, if anybody is going to use it.
Thx. Yeah, that's just a placeholder.

It's not a question of manipulativeness. A manipulative mind would recognize that this strategy is unlikely to have good results.

Problem:
Status updates and notifications from my bank, facebook, meetup, server crashing etc.. aren't really e-amils but are being sent to to my inbox because there isn't a better place to send just the updates. Also, if I want to say, temporarily turn off status updates from facebook going to my inbox, this involves going into my facebook profile and turning notifications off there and then going back in there in the future and turning it back on.

My membership and communication information for many websites is also burried deep inside my inbox somewhere when that isn't really email either.

Technically, they could send you these letters as notice and due diligence to comply with the law while being able to keep the house on the books at full price, with the caveat that they don't foreclose, as once they do they have no way of saying that the security is held till maturity. No one in the financial industry is talking about it but people are not getting booted out of their homes by many of the banks, it is becoming a game of don't ask don't tell. No one want to speak about it openly but there are people that have been in default for over 2 years and are still living in their house, because if the banks boot them they have to account for it immediately which will severely affect their numbers.

I disagree with you: I consider myself as having relatively good people skills and Saul still disgusts me.

However, Saul isn't the single one to blame. After all, he's only a player in the corporate game. He didn't make up the rules.

If only Saul's strategies (i.e. getting promoted on the basis of a friendship) didn't work in the real life, there would be less Sauls in this world.

Ever since one of maxklein's posts came into Google Reader and promptly disappeared, I've been looking over his stuff with an eye of uncertainty.

This particular posting mentioned the author randomly meeting someone by a river (who's outlook changed the author's life). The post finished along the lines of "that day at the beach"...

I'm sure the sentiments are all still valid, but hard to swallow with those sorts of discrepancies.
That's true, but it's easy to make something no one wants just for the sake of differentiating. If you care, you differentiate only if it actually matters to your customers.
I don't understand it either. If I were an investor I would rather the startup found out after 3 months and 50,000 that the idea didn't work, than after 3 years and 500,000 (or more).

Mahalo has a link to the CC-BY license 3.0 (even though the link is oddly titled "CC License 2.0"). It is not acceptable to take content from wikipedia (licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0) modify it, and release it under a different license with conflicting terms.

This could be cleared up by unambiguously stating on the Mahalo pages that the content was available under the CC-BY-SA license 3.0, and providing a link directly to the terms of the license.
I'm beginning to suspect that some or all of the Mahalo/Calacanis stories here are submitted by himself, just to get the names known.

"Russian ChatRoulette" could be either a horrible or fantastic idea!
"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in
Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.

That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

So I was reading through the PDF you linked to and I came to this:

Consider also the spread of sex education courses through schools in the United States. The assumption is that you can change attitudes and behavior about sex through some form of teaching and instruction. If you assume that this is so (still a controversial issue among researchers) ...

Still a controversial issue among researchers? Yeah, kind of like how evolution is still a controversial issue among researchers. So this guy is a sex therapist who doubts the value of sex education in schools? I then realised that this document is actually just thinly veiled social conservative propaganda. I then stopped reading and dragged it to the trash.

This Dr. Victor B. Cline obviously has a massive personal bias, I assume stemming from his own religious beliefs, though this in only a hunch. You're going to have to do better than this ready for Fox News crap.

"High Performance MySQL" ByJeremy D. Zawodny, Derek J. Balling — It's been very helpful to me

Wow. This is a great post.

Being a young teenager and reading electric sheep and then seeing blade runner, Then to live and see things slowly unfolding toward this future he describes -- such as the rapid decline of critical life such as honeybees and frogs, BCI, AI, etc -- it really does blow my mind to see it all being a possibility - albiet a very dark one.

Also Google just released the Nexus one. Coincidence? I think not!
Exponential growth first and then new features is normally a viable path for a Web 2.0 business, but the founder of Chatroulette is finding it a bit hard to deal with new features when he has to worry about scaling his exponentially growing site, including limo rides and negotiations with Russian billionares.

To the OP: Isn't the strategy for succeeding at business in Russia to find out how to get in cars with Russian billionares? You would have to be careful though, because the existing billionares that own the social networking sites might not like you much.

This could also work for you as a quick flip, if you can get your page views up in a year and sell, that may be wiser than getting in cars with Russian billionaires.

Chatroulette would be completely illegal if run by a US founder. People that are under 18 are regularly exposed to live masturbating penises on Chatroulette. US Law is such that if a certain prosecutor was sufficiently morally offended by your existence, the founder of a Chatroulette clone could be charged with Federal Racketeering. I don't think the DMCA would provide any protection for the site operator.

So anyone from a country with rule of law similar to the USA should be really careful about starting a Chatroulette like site.

It's way more complicated than that - but in essence yet.

The problem with Hitler was that the propaganda was rock solid (so, yeh, ignorance in the sense of misdirection I guess) and initially he fixed some stuff, or appeared too, that was important to the populace.

Of course he then turned out to be insane but by that point (and more precisely the point when the populace started to realize) it was kinda too late.

This sort of question about the difference between a copy of you continuing to exist, and you yourself (the original "copy") continuing to exist; whenever I see this question in its various forms, I wonder if the question is being truly sincerely asked.

The obvious and meaningful answer is that the experience you have is of the total end of all further experience. Death. One or even a thousand completely perfect copies of you living onward in the universe is no comfort when the consciousness that started the whole game is not around to experience it.

Or in more simple form,

If you put someone to sleep, and haul them across a room, and then they wake up, this is totally different from writing down their entire molecuar composition, burning their atoms to a cinder, and then reconstituting said molecular composition on the other side of the room. What wakes up is not you. You are a burnt ash in the wastebin.

The truly fascinating question no one is discussing is: since our consciousness is made up of a vast combination of distinct physical parts, it could one day be possible to slowly replace those parts with artificial parts, with the transition from 100% original to 100% new parts being a transition in phases so small that the consciousness is never interrupted. The resulting being is YOU, but at the end, all of what was you is gone.

Addendum: People who have suffered severe trauma and lost large sections of the brain have managed to live. If the substrate of the mind in question was an artificial system that can deal with such traumatic removals of core pieces, is there some cross section of the constituent parts of the human mind that you could sever in half and end up with two distinct yet continuously conscious entities?
Thank you, can you refer me some online resources which are free.
I drive even when I live in San Francisco. A (nice) car costs about $1k/mo to keep in SF (parking, registration, insurance, payment) before the first mile driven, but it is how I would spend my marginal $1k at $5k/mo.

1) I need 24x7 access to datacenters, some of which are in super sketchy parts of town (200 Paul, in HP) or are in the South Bay. A taxi might be an option, but a couple $200 taxi rides per month, plus an hour of waiting, would be a real pain.

2) I enjoy going on long trips, by land, with minimal planning. Rental cars are more cost effective with depreciation, but I like having a familiar car, very well maintained, and keeping my firearms/EMT kit/etc. pre-positioned in the vehicle. I'd consider flying, but my circle of equal pain makes driving to LA a 100%, and driving to vegas kind of borderline. I drive to Portland or Seattle even. Avoiding the hassle of the airport, more cargo capacity, and having a familiar vehicle on the other end, all add up.

3) Shooting sports. Going to a shooting range with a long-arm on public transit is a no-go :) Also, try taking 50 pounds of ammo on the bus.

4) Grocery shopping and other routine chores -- zipcar could accomplish a lot of this (and I have zipcared a pickup truck a few times, although their maintenance leaves a lot to be desired)

5) I love cars and driving, although not so much in SF itself. Parking in SF largely makes driving in SF unpleasant.

6) I enjoy having more stuff with me than I can comfortably carry, and the car serves as a portable locker. Having a spare laptop battery, paper, cases of bottled water, etc. a quick trip to the car away is nice. Plus, while it's slightly paranoid, having a vehicle with emergency supplies nearby, and a means of travel, radio, power source, etc. is reassuring -- if there were an earthquake or other disaster, there's a limit to what survival supplies I might have on my person, but my car is good for 96h.

If I were commuting between SFO and SEA a lot, I'd probably buy a second car and keep one on each end, just to avoid needing public transit. (and someday I'd go for a plane!)

None of this would be solved by a plush seat (like 1st class) or lack of crazy people and urine smell (like cabs vs. muni). I am probably an outlier in the combination of these, but not on each individual point.

I do try to avoid needing a long daily commute, either through wfh or living near the office, so I can keep the car parked and walk to/from the office. Still, I'd prefer a 10 minute drive to a 60-90 minute muni/bart/caltrain adventure to get to/from the office!
i had an idea of semi-fixing that, or rather rerouting around the problem by shifting the job-finding and -posting from the HR dept. to the individual employees.

Let's say you're a web programmer living in City A, and commuting to City B, a commute of 2 hours. Unbeknown to you, there's a web programmer in City B, commuting to City A every day. My idea would be to put these two in touch with each other, and eventually facilitate a job switch. You basically swap jobs (assuming you're both of equal proficiency, and the higher-ups agree to it), and don't have to commute any more. Yay/Nay?
Let's imagine someone breaks into my neighbor's house, I round them up, give them a fair trial, and lock them up in my basement for a year. No different from what the actual government would do. Just like a legitimate government, I have not initiated force. At this point, two things would happen:

1. The government would initiate force against me to protect their own monopoly on the business of rounding up burglars, giving them a fair trial, and locking them up.
2. The government would let me continue unimpeded, at which point they relinquish their monopoly on the legitimate use of force and cease to be a government. They are simply one of many competing retributive justice agencies, and we have anarchy.
