>crystallized knowledge (as measured by New York Times crosswords, for example) climbs sharply between ages 20 and 50 and then plateaus, even as the fluid kind (like analytical reasoning) is dropping steadily — by more than 50 percent between ages 20 and 70 in some studies.

That seems very strange, because it contradicts my own experience completely. As I grow older my ability to remember things gets worse, but my ability to understand and reason about things has gotten so much better it's not subtle at all.

Now, of course it is very possible that my sample size of 1 is slightly inadequate to draw any conclusions at all. But I would have expected that at least the direction of the trend would have to be the same for all individuals.

>Microsoft’s fixation [...] ultimately made them miss the internet/advertising and the mobile markets

Actually, MS was quite a pioneer in the mobile space. Their mistakes were in execution (they went after pricy enterprise tools like PDAs rather than consumer-grade phones) and timing (technology simply wasn't ready -- they made a big push on early tablets before capacitive touchscreens changed the whole landscape). Gates could see where things were going, he wasn't "distracted"; he bailed on MS when when it was just about clear that the company wasn't running towards new markets as fast as it should have.
Unfortunately, I learned the Linode Metered Billing doesn't work this way (see my comment above). Basically, you're billed for the number of hours that a server is on your account, not your actual usage of the server. So, the more or less you use of a specific server doesn't affect billing. It would only affect billing if changes in usage meant changes in the number of servers on your account. Maybe obvious to some, but wasn't to me.

The analogy for electricity (with Linode Metered Billing, in comparison) would be adding or removing electric supply lines and/or meters vs. actual usages as measured in Kwh.

I can't believe how incredibly bad healthcare is in the United States, as exemplified by your comments.

I live in a country FAR less wealthy than the U.S. (Uruguay), yet basic healthcare here must sound like a science fiction future for the average American.

U$ 50/month gives me access to a doctor that goes TO MY HOUSE in hours in case of ilness (including something like a flu, ear ache or whatever), or I can go to a clinic of said private emergency service, and get a doctor in minutes (yes, they're the least trained and paid doctors, but every single one has at least 7 years of university training).

Every single freaking Uruguayan can be treated for free, and most have access to decent hospital services. Yes, there are some big downsides - getting an operation scheduled takes months, and if you don't have money, quality of life stuff is practically ignored, but not a single Uruguayan has gotten bankrupt due to a severe or life threatening condition, you get stuff up to and including cancer and HIV treatments for free.

And you wouldn't believe how cheap the very best health coverage is, I'm paying for the 2nd best one.. U$ 150/month.

If you have a difficult operation or strange disease, there's no place like the U.S., but for everyday healthcare the U.S. sounds like a Medieval country.

I don't think we will run out of gas before we switch to renewables. The supply of gas (as in, the amount of gas that can be produced per month) is limited and the demand for energy is always increasing, so prices are always going to go up. As new technology develops, and with economies of scale, renewables are getting cheaper. I think we'll get past the tipping point where renewable generation + storage is cheaper than fossil fuels well before we actually run out of gas. Being inefficient with our resources (like burning gas like this) means we'll be much worse off when that happens.

I agree with the need for perspective. Sixty years ago people thought that kitchens would have a robot to do the cooking for you but instead we got microwave ovens and ready meals. You get the same effect (easy meals) just through a different mechanism. The important things is solving a particular problem or need; not the actual technology. In that sense Google Now is the pivotal technology for Google, not glass.

> Perhaps the article meant 10.7 GW of installed production capacity.

The original report does indeed, the article misquoted (and possibly misunderstood) it. Here is the exact quote and its surrounding paragraph:

> In 2005, there were 8,933 MW of installed power capacity in 24 countries, generating 55,709 GWh per year of green power, according to the International Geothermal Association. IGA reports in 2010 that 10,715 MW is on line generating 67,246 GWh. This represents a 20% increase in geothermal power on line between 2005 and 2010. IGA projects this will grow to 18,500 MW by 2015, which based upon the large number of projects under consideration appears reasonable if not conservative.

> Regardless, that's about 0.3 quadrillion BTUs per year, which is a blip compared to the world's energy consumption.

note that the quote is about electricity generation, not power consumption in general.

Still a blip though, in 2008 global electricity generation was estimated at 20261 TWh, geothermal production thus accounting for ~0.3% of global production.

A few select countries have fairly high geo ratios though: Iceland's at 30% geothermal, the Philippines at 27%, El Salvador 25%, Costa Rica at 14% and Kenya at 11.2% (2010 numbers).

The US are the biggest producer of geothermal electricity (29% of global production, #2 is the philippines at 18%) but the ratio matches global, geothermal is 0.3% of the US's electricity production.

It's a simulation. In other words, the only conclusions that the scientists can really draw out are those that were hard-coded into the organism behaviour to begin with. For instance, they speculate that perhaps it might be a disadvantage to the parasite to have to generate powerful hormones - yeah, they would have had to have written that particular parameter into their simulation. Alter the parameter slightly, and you change the outcome.
So, it's quite cheap to get a seeding box from LeaseWeb, in ascending levels of sophistication:

* 100mbps unmetered 2x2tb 39 eur/mo

* 1gbps unmetered 24x2tb 349 eur/mo

* 10gbps unmetered 24x2tb 1089 eur/mo

I'm tempted to grab the first, and open a GitTip account in case anyone wants to chip in towards the second (4tb isn't a lot of space as far as this stuff goes). The third is unlikely to be useful; this stuff is long tail by its nature, so storage is probably more important.

Though in a world containing Google Fiber, would it still be a valuable service?

There's a university box seeding the torrent I'm grabbing (2011 weather patterns), but it still seems to be going quite slowly.

It's not incredibly elegant, it's just dumb. Would you say Infinitecoin was genius too?

Creating a new currency changing only the unit used and adding a funny picture of a dog is not genius, and saying such thing is an insult to the technology and its creator.

I disagree on the comparison, tbh. Headphones is a purely personal experience; when you see it, you know that person is enjoying some private time, isolating himself from the busy / noisy outside world, or just being a douche. They don't cause uproar because, even if they look silly or make you look silly or like an audiophile (depending on make and model), it's something they do for themselves.

Wearing Glass, on the other hand, is pretty much saying "I AM GOING TO RECORD ALL THE THINGS!". Actually, nevermind; if Glass did not have a camera but was just a heads-up display of sorts, nobody would care. All of the controversy surrounding Glass is about the camera, not about what the original concept was, a heads-up display.

tl;dr: the comparison makes if Glass was just a heads-up display for personal information purposes, but it doesn't because it has a camera.

It's not very (at the track level) - but at the same far too (at the 'release' level) - accurate.

"Wayward Wind" by Gogi Grant (off "Sweet Memories") is listed -but- the track itself is listed as one of the most popular if you search for her, just not off that particular album. There's a metric ass-ton of releases which probably explains why one particular release has zero even when the track is clearly very popular.
