"He had just sold 400 Bitcoins, he told Betabeat, which he planned to buy back in the morning."

Which just shows that the entire finance sector is a side game of the market. Literally a casino with slightly better predictability. They produce nothing. They just move money around to make money. Not surprisingly, they're moving into another side game, less functional and strategic, but less regulated.
All true, but nonetheless good news for bitcoin, because the government is less likely to shut it down if their Lords and Masters are making money with it.
I was a freshman in college in 1996 and remember PowerPoints being used in my courses then, so that change is pretty old... and we're still using them today. The reality is that we haven't advanced very much in "presentation technology" in the last 15 years.
> Yes, there is, to the extent that that rule is legitimate. Usually, just powers arise from the consent of the governed. For example, sane people pay taxes because they understand that they have need of the canonical services of roads, fire service, police, the military, and the like.
It is Randians who think that civilization is the only free lunch.
The last one is ok, but I like thinner fonts. MS fonts are legally available on Linux (just accept the license). I know that may be blasphemy to some, but here's how fonts look on my system:
> I'm not sure if vocabulary size matters once you reach around 25,000 words.
This is what I was thinking. I scored 34K, and rarely encounter a word that I don't understand in regular speech or reading. I also know several thousand jargon words, none of which were on that test. I know what I need to know. Memorizing another 16K words to reach Shakespeare's magical 50K (and feel good about myself) would be a waste of precious mental resources.
That would be great. It seems like Google has the brainpower to figure out a way to use up and down votes to target ads better as well. I would love to see ads based on things that I am actually interested in.
Isn't it essentially just Google Alerts, as if a search term with "only the best results" "as it happens" "deliver to Google Reader" set, except instead of to reader, to the sparks page?
I don't think you're reading it correctly. When it says part of the deal price is debt, that means the purchaser is using debt to finance the acquisition (taking loans or issuing bonds). It's nothing to do with GoDaddy's balance sheet.
I'm ok with apps on G+ if they provide an option to turn off all notifications / spam. You can "turn off platform apps" in Facebook but still have to hide the posts individually. I've probably manually blocked 30 apps at this point, which is annoying.
No, no. Stupid and ignorant adults are a wildly profitable resource for corporations, advertisers, and marketers. That's not exploitation; it's capitalism. But the children, they must be protected.
