> * My grandfather was an alcoholic and caused lots of damage to my dad's infancy.

So there is your problem right there - he was an alcoholic. All sorts of addictions and excesses are generally bad(addiction to tv, addiction to wasting t) - that doesn't mean you can generalize it to web is bad and tv is bad.

> Drunk girls are raped by drunk stupid men all the time. My cousin got pregnant at 14 because of this.

That argument is so ridiculous I don't event want to respond to this.

"Girls get raped all the time while wearing skimpy clothes."

Skimpy clothes should be banned.

"Girls get raped all the time while going out at night."

Girls shouldn't go out at nights.

"Girls get raped all the time."

Girls shouldn't exist.

Seriously though, you are taking a serious instance of rape, and blaming it on being drunk?

> Starting with social drinking, which means that some people are absolutely incapable of have social bonding or plain fun without any alcohol. Pathetic.

You know, the world doesn't need your pathetic self to tell it how and how not to have fun.

Snoring Causes and Cures
Almost every other person in the world has their own problem with snoring.The first thing that we all need to know before we can get into the detail of snoring causes and cures would be to identify the true meaning of snoring. Basically, when a person snores, the passage way of the air is obstructed caused by vibrations that result to the sound that we hear during sleep. In order to stop snoring problems, it is important to identify the different cause of snoring.

What is a Battery Cable Terminal?
The place where we can connect the any external circuit is called battery cable terminal. The battery cable is supplied to the battery by a terminal post and the attachment of the conduct is attached by a flange which is extended from the flange. There is some space between the attached flange and the post of terminal. It is tightened by the nut to the terminal post. It is used to increase the electrical connection between the fitting and the battery. With these battery cable terminal the flow of current passes through negative an d positive leads particles. Copper is also used in such terminals to carry the load back from the battery and also return it. These are also called the electrical contacts which are especially used for the connection to a load.
What would Amazon do with WebOS when they have already invested so much in Android?

Google can pull the rug out from under them at any time for any reason. You can't run a multi-billion dollar business on good faith alone. It would be nice to believe that Google wouldn't do that type of thing, and maybe they won't, but it's a huge risk to take. Amazon is playing to win this. They have to believe at some point the Fire and other Amazon tablets will be so successful that they can easily attract developers. (and we can't rule out some form of Android compatibility being added to WebOS -- something Palm may have already been working on and could be quite mature. If RIM managed it I'm pretty sure Palm can too)

This is perfectly correct Python code too if you prefer. The only real thing with Python's lambdas is that, because Python makes a distinction between statements and expressions, you can't easily do things like use temporary variables inside a lambda, but cases like that are rare and are typically more readable with a separate standalone function definition anyway.

Fair enough, you have half a point there, though this is the whole 'guns don't kill people...' argument.

In the context of western society alcohol abuse has been almost normalized, and binge drinking especially amongst young people is considered 'a fun night out'.

You are right, alcohol abuse is the problem. As a society we abuse alcohol.

TV and sports events are saturated with alcohol advertising, children are exposed from a very young age to alcohol (ab)use.

Granted, there is nothing wrong with drinking in moderation, I enjoy a few beers myself. Though if there were an actually sane and evidenced based approach to drug policy, alcohol would be seen to be one of the most damaging drugs and would be regulated appropriately. Regulation meaning education, higher taxes on alcoholic beverages, a heavy restriction on advertising, and support for the sick people that are abusing it.

I am not pg and he already answered and this is totally not based on any data whatsoever, but it seems to me that in a situation where he (or any other vc) really liked one cofounder and hated another there would a much higher chance that the cofounders themselves would have issues with each other (if not already then soon enough) which is a bad thing for a startup at such an early stage.

Granted, relationships don't always work out exactly that way, but roughly speaking they usually do. People I like tend to dislike the same traits in other people that I do, and vice versa.

How Windshields are Made
The inside view of how they are made: Starting with a plain sheet of glass an automated plotter moves a cutting wheel over it and the wheel scores the glass. Then a robotic arm uses a torch and moves along the score line and the thermal shock completes the cut. Next a robot suctions up the cut piece of glass and transfers it to the next station, where all the sharp edges of the glass are sanded. This stage of the process is called seaming.

I got this awesome handwritten letter in the mail today from Stripe. https://p.twimg.com/AaoSX5BCQAAx4T9.jpg
It seems tautologous to say that innovation happens in innovative areas, but that seems to be the substance of the problem expressed in the premise.

Not only does disruptive innovation not happen where we expect it to, it usually refuses to happen where we will it to. Not only solar (and fusion) power, but things like making the kind of artificial intelligence we wanted. It seems like they were just not solvable with any amount of cleverness. Maybe we picked the wrong build tree, but maybe we were just hand-waving when we extrapolated to flying cars.

I think part of the problem is not seeing sustaining innovation, like nearly all of the space program, as the mostly-linear kind of innovation it is. I mean, it sure seemed like we were creating new dimensions of technology when we increased the "number of men on the frickin' moon" statistic above zero. But how much of the innovation required to get there was really Freeman Dyson level stuff? To me, the 25-year line from V-2 to Apollo (with stops at satellites and ICBMs) seems pretty straightforward given the resources involved. Am I just too jaded by retrospective?

It seems the fault lies more in our expectations than in our imaginativeness.

Unfortunately, you still have to follow the money to find that, behind those same politicians, are corporations of nearly every stripe (and even illegal dealers) who are behind the continued prohibition of Marijuana.

The prison lobby, law enforcement unions, and the coalition of growers in Mendocino and surrounding parts provided millions to stop Prop. 19 from passing in CA. And, the liquor, prison, and law enforcement lobbies continue to contribute to politicians who keep Marijuana a schedule 1 drug (and FYI for those that don't know or aren't American, Meth and Cocaine are both schedule II drugs, because they carry "medical value").

I think that Stephenson is on a false trail blaming the dissemination of information for lack of big innovation. Most corporations run in fear of the unknown just a much as previous failures are shutout - if the accountants can't imagine the market, or if the market isn't a sure thing then it's also avoided.

This is also why actual direct competition is avoided in preference to non-innovative market/customer manipulation taking the form of techniques like customer lock-in plans, patent trolling, and planned obsolescence. Mostly narrow payoff innovation is pursued as the business community has focused around making short-term profit optimization the most accepted strategy.

Cremation Or Traditional Burial?
Higher taxes on firearms works as a public policy, more or less. However, the 'higher taxes on dangerous things' model fails miserably when applied to addictive substances. This is evidenced directly in cigarette taxes, and indirectly in illegal substances.

Addicts can literally chose their substance over food, and forget about rent and family members... A large portion of the suffering addicts endure can be traced directly back to financial hardships induced by the price of their substance. So not only does this sort of policy not work, but it is actively inhuman. Addicts need professional medical treatment, effectively telling them to 'just say no' is ignoring the reality of the situation.

Not to mention you'll still have drunk rich jackasses in sportscars killing people (RIP Ryan Dunn)...

I can sympathize with this. But I also think it's wrong on many points. Feynman's point that "there's plenty of room at the bottom" is extremely relevant to the modern age; most of our marvels are now Small Stuff rather than the Big Stuff that Neal calls for.

I'm crazy for space exploration, but unmanned exploration really is the stronger option at this point. I get excited over large trussed structures, but cheap handheld medical scanners which don't require an expert operator are going to do more to relieve human suffering. I'd love to see more innovation - but in spite of everything, there's more today than ever before.

It's hard to see sometimes because a lot of the big stuff is twenty years out or more. All it is today is a project in some academic lab, just a seed. But how else are you going to get your miracles?

It's maybe not as disruptive as you think - not yet. To display on your tv you require a computer or apple device plugged into the tv. Not many people do that yet.

It'll all be super locked down like Apple's typical developer bullshit. It's not like Apple is going to let developers make use of this, it'll just be a built-in feature of iphone + apple tv. And it'll all be geared toward selling tv shows and games specifically for this capability.

In 6 months the same feature set will be available in Android.

If Apple starts to roll out their own line of tv's, then they might really start changing the living room landscape. Got an iPhone, now get an iTV and play all your games on it, that sort of cross marketing.

I hear what you are saying, but what they have done is derived the their IDs based partially on their current choice of architecture.
If, for any reason, they would like to change their architecture later, suddenly they have a real problem.

That feels flaky to me. Its a nice techy solution, and the write up was interesting, but there are definitely a few weak points in their implementation.
Their computers have to be absolutely in sync for time, their ID space is entirely guessable once you know the algorithm and they have effectively hard coded their current architecture into their software.
