I'm curious as to why the downmodders think this is a bad idea. Why would it fail, what are the shortcomings? Or is it just revenge modding?
Agreed, nice post. I ask myself this question (i.e. what I'd actually pay for) when trying to gauge if customers will pay for something I'm building. At first I often think "Yeah, I'd pay for this", but then reality sets in. Even making this list now I'm surprised how few services I buy.

* Linode
* iDrive
* Skype
* Laundry

Yes, laundry as in washing clothes. I'm currently in SouthEast Asia and it costs US$1 to have all of my clothes laundered, line-dried and ironed. If this were survey.io, laundry is the services I'd most miss if it disappeared.

Some great previous discussion on thorium based nuclear reactors:

I think the first article was in reaction to the Fukushima disaster. It's hard to imagine this technology will actually make it to cars, whether it's safe or not, because of the r-word. Intriguing stuff, though.
I have both. The UI on the Apple TV is better (but not leaps and bounds better), and the Netflix quality seems to be just a little better in HD. Both are connected to HDMI.

Of course, the Roku also does Hulu and Pandora, and I have a second one upstairs on the non-SD tv. From what I've gathered the Apple TV 2 doesn't play nice on SD.
A large influence on the way we interact with a website is base on how we learned to read. From a usability/UX stand point the way people view and interact with a website can be different. If cultural effects are not taken into account it can effect the way people use the website. This is another obstacle that needs to be over come when expanding to a foreign market.

You're assuming something about the value of the innovation and the cost of the risk.

Would you be willing to pay 1000 failed startups for one Google? I would, because the cost of those 999 startups is largely borne by the folks involved while I get significant benefits from the existence of Google.

I'm a little confused by this story. It appears that the banks were victims of fraud by homeowners:

"...failed to perform the due diligence required under securities law and missed evidence that borrowers’ incomes were inflated or falsified."

The contention is that the banks did not due their due diligence in rooting out this fraud. So why are the regulators "[p]ressing the banks to pay at least $20 billion in that case, with much of the money earmarked to reduce mortgages of homeowners facing foreclosure?"

Shouldn't the regulators be prosecuting the people who took out fraudulent mortgages, rather than pressuring banks to reward them?
I think one of the issues is not that file sharing has reduced the general perceived value of music to 0 and the best you can sell people now is convenience and ease of use which is what people are really paying for on things like Spotify rather than the music itself.
Some things might not be accurate, particularly (the minimal) historical references. If you spot something, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Keep in mind that if you prepay for 2 years, use the server, and cancel before the 2 years ends, you're refunded the amount paid minus the normal monthly charge times the number of months you used the service. The discount gets wiped away, at least it did for me.

The banks weren't victims, but co-conspirators. The banks were looking the other way on these "liar loans" because they weren't going to be keeping them on their books anyways. The banks just packaged them up into neat bundles, slipped the ratings agency a couple fivers, and resold them as AAA debt.

In my experience, EU borders are very easy to go thru without declaring anything. If you really want to there is IIRC someplace to go at HEL after the passport stamp to do it.. but it's very easy to miss.
The government did indeed sentence one person to mortgage fraud for inflating his income (a so-called, "liar loan"). This person is now serving a 21 month sentence:

@bittermang : true, going back is painful and networks & cable operators are probably aware of this. But, as wsj puts it - investors of netflix are scared that its expenditure on the content deals will overtake their revenue and with netflix threatening the existence of so many network companies, netflix soon has to create its own content OR devise an extraordinary plan to sustain the network grudges against it.

It will be interesting to see individual networks starting up their own streaming services.
As I understand GPU programming, you want to maximize parallelism. Ideally, you would have something small enough to have an independent generator for each processor. You should be able to generate perfectly random-looking numbers using 64 or 128 bits of state storage and a handful of instructions per 32-bits of output.

A perfect assessment.

It's why I keep learning about every field --- there are so many areas that turn out to be applicable in different domains.

For example, "variance shadow maps" create soft shadows using statistical analysis. (I wish they were practical. It's just an example.)

There's a distinction between drawing a conclusion (and thus acting on it) and noticing a possible trend that can be investigated further. One is asking a question, one is answering it. If you draw the conclusion you've already assumed an answer. This is where the danger is. People who form biases are assuming the answer without the supporting evidence.

To address your second point: As a natural scientist (as in endlessly curious) I often wonder about genetic differences in racist and how they effect outward traits. From a public policy perspective, I totally understand why most scientists and government officials wouldn't touch those questions with a 10 foot pole. There is just far more potential for negative consequences than positives.
This is great! I've been using my Linode as a VPN for when I'm working in coffee shops, so I'm very happy that half of my traffic is not counted any longer.
Not specifically Starz, but the idea about how to handle all of the different cable networks has been on my mind for awhile now. Here's a question for Comcast, Time Warner, and all of the other service providers out there: why don't you quit wasting time and compete with Netflix? The one thing cable and satellite companies have that Netflix doesn't is a large collection of long-standing relationships with networks. With a bit of work, cable/satellite providers could easily build a system just like Netflix.

Offer a web-based, a la carte service. All content is presented just like Netflix in a VOD package. Users sign up for an account and are given the option to pick out which networks they want to receive content from. Any network can be dropped/added whenever the user wants.

Worried about costs? Tier the service out: $29.99 a month gets you 10 networks, $49.99 gets you 20, and so on so forth. No real change to what's taking place now aside from customers being happy and being allowed to access content whenever they want, wherever they want.

Oh, and let's not forget the social layer that would fit beautifully on top of this. Allow users to easily post episodes/networks to Facebook/Twitter/etc. Facilitate a conversation between people watching a show. Each show page has a comments section where fans can discuss what they just watched/are watching.

Just the beginning of ideas for this. If you want to keep discussing (hint: I'd love to), shoot me an email: ryan@getconduit.com.

Oh man, thanks for answering nothing about your position. You obviously have no idea what your original comment would be manifested as.

Please answer me: What would a couple examples of content separated by IQ look like? And how is this not segregation (as you repeatedly claimed it was not)?

Here is me predicting your next comment is either "You aren't worth my time" or "You just don't understand what I'm saying." Go ahead and hide from your ill-thought out and intellectually prejudiced idea.

And kudos for side-stepping the concrete example I asked about. Really shows some spine.
Restaurants rarely advertise "free unlimited napkins with any meal". They include them gratis, within reason.

Nobody can provide "free unlimited" anything. There are always limits. In Australia, these claims could run afoul of consumer protection laws, with good reason - anybody claiming to sell "free unlimited" anything is lying. OK, Linode probably means well. But before you know it, every company will match them, and you won't be able to figure out which "free unlimited" plan suits your purpose because all the limits are hidden behind a "within reason" clause in the fine print.

"Free unlimited" offers turn the whole thing into what Scott Adams calls a "Confusopoly", in which companies stop competing on value by hiding what value they actually offer.

[rant, for which I'd like to apologize]

I've tried to like Scala and it's just hard to do so. Once you've been spoiled by Ruby, Haskell, Python, Coffeescript, Clojure, etc, it's hard to see Scala as more than an obfuscated Java [and, yes, I've been coding for nearly 30 years, so this isn't new-language-cock-fight fanboism]. "case classes"? Really? I read Programming Scala and thought that we had learned better.

I'll take 3 languages that try to make my life easier rather than one language that tries to encompass every possible paradigm... Or perhaps Scala could have stepped the fuck up, worn the hair shirt for a while and done something interesting. By which I mean: see Mirah (http://www.mirah.org/) which is imperfect, beautiful and headed in an awesome, productive direction.

And I realize that I'm not in the sweetspot for Java.next, but I am certainly involved in languages du jour and Scala, even if it is Java.next, is not one of them. Some may point at C and C++ as an analogous set of languages and transitions, but I'd point out that we currently live in a world in which new languages are popping up constantly, are being marketed well and are being tried by large groups of coders. Merely extending an existing language is no longer a recipe for success.

When I got my mortgage, I had non-traditional credit history stuff to deal with -- I had never really had serious credit prior to buying my house. While it turns out I am a good mortgage holder, paying on time every time, at the time the bank didn't know that. But when it came time to prove my worthiness, it seemed that the banker was willing to do an aweful lot of fudging if necessary to make the loan happen. It wasn't a statement of willingness to lie, just a lot of talk about "spinning it like $this or $that" and "we can make it look good".

Not anything outright fraudulent, but I suspect there was a lot of intentional looking the other way and "spinning" going on by the banks, while at the same time telling the loan-seekers that it was "just how it works".

This is one of the many consequences of the securitization of mortgages.

Back in the "good old days", a banker wouldn't want to inflate your credit-worthiness on a mortgage loan application because his or her bank would be relying on you to repay the loan. But once a bank could securitize your loan and there were limited to no consequences to their funding liar loans, you started to see more and more of them flooding the market.
