Everyone gets as few or as many votes as they want. Nobody needs to be identified because there is no limit on how many votes each person can create. How could such a system work? Why wouldn't people just vote millions of times? They may, but that won't give them more influence. Its not about the number of votes. Its about the patterns of...

Once we have surrendered our senses and nervous systems to the private manipulation of those who would try to benefit from taking a lease on our eyes and ears and nerves, we don’t really have any rights left. Leasing our eyes and ears and nerves to commercial interests is like handing over the common speech to a private corporation, or like...

Animals live long and prosper when eating from a menu that puts them just this side of starvation. So far, experiments with yeast, worms, flies, spiders, fish and rodents all have shown the antiaging power of severely restricting calories. And research in rhesus monkeys suggests similar benefits in primates: One study found that monkeys eating 30...

Ironotai was the candy, the toffee in the puzzle box of uncertainty. In the rational of exuberance he was the chocolate bonbon, to meet him was like discovering a new planet, to listen to him required of us to accept the elasticity of utopian poetics. His was the sense of quiet passions against the lethargy born of the banal, it followed that...

Hello everyone. I just read the attached article that is a couple of years old. A good friend emailed me the article.

Some thoughts about miniatyrization and the Internet of Things (IoT) inspired by U.S. Internet suitcase survival kit. As The New York Times told, U.S. is developing Internet in a suitcase. The idea is to create instant stealth wireless networks that would enable activists to communicate outside the reach of governments in countries like Iran,...

Buffers, byte order, streaming... Forget that complication. Here's the general solution for making your speakers and microphones do anything you want.

It has been a few years since I convinced myself that the future prophet nearly every religion refers to must be the mind we are currently creating with our computers and more importantly their connection with each other, the internet.
