More Go centric, but they are similar. So there may be some ideas that could cross-pollinate.

Netflix was originally just a DVD distribution company. They made a transition well...

How does the re-encryption work? Does the data get de-crypted then re-encrypted, or is it always double encrypted? Maybe I'm not understanding the "mutating" crypto part. I think it would help me if you explained that part more.

I was thinking of it as a play on the word "free" in french before the word Stock...

    Gratis - Free as in Beer
    Libre - Free as in Speech

Next up, digital arrows next to headlines is capable of decision-making (removing physicality).

I'm sorry but this sounds more like a way of measurements and calculations than actual decision-making, as that's been decided by the maker or user of the object.

Okay, seriously, who's with me to pitch the first Hackathon Reality show based on MasterChef and The Voice that features 48-hours of drama, suspense, beautiful graphics and working app at the end?

I would welcome the challenge in what rating is what. Because I know they are highly subjective. This is not an adversarial question, it's mainly used as an indicator to gauge where to direct the interview.

I like to interview people across a range of subjects (as I have not had the chance to hire a pure specialist). So knowing what they feel confident in answering will help me tailor the questions to what their perceived strengths are.

So I think it gives me a feel of your confidence level in a language. If you flipped through a "Teach yourself C++ in 24 hours" book once, then rate yourself a 10 on a scale from one to 10. Then not answering basic C++ questions will raise red flags.

If they answer a "1" on something. (And I re-assure them that answering 1 is perfectly ok). Then I can feel a lot more comfortable giving them more hints, or a lot more supporting detail in a question that they have indicated they are not very strong in.

I feel like I follow this template as well. Except, I like to add a small self assessment at the beginning of the interview. Like:

      Q: On a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being low) how do you rate yourself on "Programming Language Du Jour"?

Then I can see if their self assessment is inline with mine. Which can help in reviewing the resume.

I also like to ask for them to choose a project in the past to talk about, because then it's easy to see what they are passionate about. Or easily tell if they are choosing to talk about something because they think, you think, it's cool.

I think voice with a screen is interesting, but voice alone can be difficult. What is the last voice controlled IVR (phone system) that was awesome to interact with. I think it takes a combination of voice and something can can be confirmed with another "button", or something you can touch or push to confirm or cancel what you've "asked" it to do.

I think it can augment things well, but not be the prime time star.

How does this even work? Meaning if I live in WY, but I bank at "Small Union Bank of Delaware" Does that mean I'm using anything with in the realm of the Wyoming Division of Banking? Would just using an ATM put me under their jurisdiction? Because if I by something from Amazon, the transaction is basically from my bank in DE to WA if there are no Physical Amazon locations in WY. Correct?

Wouldn't a decentralized web interface be webmail (i.e. Gmail)? Then along the Gmail theme, a plug in could make things look much like a static website. Where "conversation view" becomes a "repository view".

Agreed that the argument is a bit weak, but we would still end up with a major centralized repository for a decentralized protocol. And the changes to make Gitlab more like the proposal would probably be more work than just making the proposal a new project.

Can't good survey question design, mitigate this? Haven't psychologists and researchers been doing this for decades and solved the problem of asking verb questions properly?

Because at the end of the day you have to ask what people want, right?

I need to go more in-depth on the proposal. But the first thing that strikes me, is if you're going to use the Blockchain (with a capital "B") as storage of usernames and such. Why not use namecoin? It has the process for name consensus down. Also it won't pollute the main Bitcoin blockchain.

I think the percentages make a lot of sense. I think there could be a fair amount of, "I think this is wrong, but nobody is really saying it's wrong, so, maybe it's not as wrong as I think it is." And that police officer basically does nothing or rough up a suspect with a colleague who's more aggressive every now and then.

Fashion is goes in cycles, so it makes sense:

Pocket -> Wrist -> Pocket (phone) -> Wrist...

Now if I can just get my 10-year old patent for wrist squares to go through....

I didn't see anything about the ease of copying data by stamping it. It seems like making hard copy duplicates easily would be a huge benefit of this as well.

This makes prefect sense. The worst thing you can do to punish a person in prison (which is a pretty bad punishment to begin with) is solitary confinement.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

You can use object composition: http://play.golang.org/p/jyS38luYjM

Then make a Draw() method on the single object default to what you expect. The simple inline explanation is:

    type SingleObject struct {
        Cowboy
        Shape
    }

Access is as follows to be unambiguous:

     Woody.Cowboy.Draw() 
     Woody.Shape.Draw()

I'm thinking that clocks to time would be more like GPS to maps. You could just simply ask what position is the sun in a particular location, at a fingers touch. So it would be too much of a big deal for most people. But it would make programmers and things that deal with logical time much easier.

Interestingly, I think that keeping everything can actually give us a much more fuller account of our lives. If were are able to create an AI that will help with the augmentation of all the data. I can really see something like: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2290780/?ref_=ttep_ep1

Which is what Gordon Bell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyLifeBits) and Microsoft Research have been looking into.

I'm really curious to see what people think of this. I think this combined with bitcoin can open up some cool possibilities.

Meaning I would love to come up with an algorithm that works while you workout. Then the hash rate is timed to number of steps or kilometers taken to release a block of bitcoin. Which I think could open up even more fitness incentives.

You could even have "races" to see who can find a hash before the others in your group.

Of course people could try and cheat, but that would be where the secret sauce is... kinda like reCAPTCHA but for bio-metrics.

There was a Hacker News article about why August has 31 days, breaking the 30/31 alternating days. I can't find it but here's an article about it.

It just makes it a more interesting formula because of that!

I'm thinking the same thing, and adding that they launched it 10 years ago... and had to avoid planets and other space junk while doing a crazy orbit until it could fling of to meet the comet at a precise location... But I wonder if engineers can change things a bait after launch with thrusters?

Were they trying to be ironic, by providing screenshots of the application? For which the messages should have disappeared? I guess there were no obvious identifying cues from the app. But a person could make them in the message sent back. So this suffers from the same problems as other "ephemeral" apps, the "screenshot", right?

Speaking of plastics, one of the disadvantages of it is that it doesn't bio-degrade. Do you think the closer we get to natural fibers, the more they will bio-degrade easier?

Detroit is above San Diego on the chart in the article. Can someone explain that to me? I just read how Detroit is an "emerging market", and San Diego is often cited as a very expensive city.

I'm naive here, but won't some brain changes have to happen when becoming addicted to nicotine when smoking cigarettes?

Would it be safe to say that, any drug that alters your state of mind will cause a brain change? (Legal or illegal)
