can we conclude that it's basically become a game at this point? place your bets, manipulate where you can, and hope you sell before the other guy does?

TED's reaction to the article https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlOSdRMSG_k&feature=youtu.be...

I have a similar problem, I'm a business owner and see all kinds of new opportunities pop up all the time. In my early twenties I bounced around from new shiny idea to the next, generally seeing the process or project 80% through before jumping to the next one, I had some interesting results, but none of them were the home run.

I view that time now as a learning experiment in what just doesn't work, you need to focus to succeed. And not just 'focus' in the mental sense, but focus in the 'reduce the amount of projects' kind of focus.

That focus is goal setting; needs specific dates and measurable actions attached, not just dreams or desire.

Another resource that represented the next phase for me in my business and personal life is the book Essentialism, it's become somewhat of a productivity bible for me, the PRINCIPLES behind focus are extremely important...

Learning to say "No" to projects is tough because starting them is always more fun then finishing our current ones.

I feel like you're the kind of guy (or girl) who could explain really complex nerdy things to me on a regular basis and I'd be ok with that

I got the impression that it was a write up of the demo video, not actually hands on... It's a confusing article and there's no 'real time video or images' of anyone actually interacting with it. I'm actually quite confused as to what this is, bad PR piece - more like a mocumentary on discovery channel...

I'm confused Wire - please clarify

i'm trying to wrap my head around this, but im leaning towards engineering vegetables with high protein... or enhancing nut production.

that was my thinking... if he calls it right, he can point back to this article. If he called it wrong, no one will probably remember this post.

i remember hearing about the settlement on the radio and was like Great! At least some investors will get compensated for being scammed... then I read this:

"Couple this with the fact that the bank's share price soared six percent on news of the settlement, adding more than $12 billion in value to shareholders, and one could argue Chase actually made money from the deal. What's more, to defray the cost of this and other fines, Chase last year laid off 7,500 lower-level employees. Meanwhile, per-employee compensation for everyone else rose four percent, to $122,653. But no one made out better than Dimon. The board awarded a 74 percent raise to the man who oversaw the biggest regulatory penalty ever, upping his compensation package to about $20 million."

Just amazing

anyone who took a quick look at this and didn't read the whole thing, i highly recommend it... i felt like i was reading Game of Thrones - Car Edition. What a fantastic story I never knew about!

i can respect that, can't argue with honesty.

Nice man! long time fan - you've stuck around where lots of people just faded away... keep up the great work! Next time you're in SD hit me up :) - sean vosler

ok... how many years would it take to actually get the final number?

my thoughts precisely

I'm sure the victims will be pissed right off

Wow never would have thought of that - for some reason thinking of a bad guy playing Runescape to discuss their evil plans makes me laugh

lol enjoyed the comments section

"Go back in time to the 80s. Buy shares in Apple. Sell shares in 2009. Buy BitCoins. Sell BitCoins in 2013. Profit."

JenniDark "Directions unclear. Bought Blackberry shares. Now what?"

just to slightly build on the other comments, I believe this barge is designed to be out from shore quite a way, if it was right up against the shore I could see this being an issue.

another cool thing about floating data centers in california is they're pretty much earthquake proof... built in shock absorbers (aka water).

You can probably charge a premium for easily accessible highly secure data I would imagine.

... assuming megalodon isn't still around

very good point - I imagine though that it's MAINLY to get attention from groups that would donate to such a cause... The more niche the demographic the easier it is to raise money from institutes who aim to help those demos. So short answer, money probably...

We can look at a silver lining and hope they expand into other demos, we will see i guess.

this was my initial though... any big brand who owns a trademark is probably going to find this useful, and I can't imagine someone searching "dell" or "southwest airlines" who isn't simply looking for their main site.

If these ads show up when you search "cheep airline tickets" or "personal computers" i could see there being a problem.

Does anyone know what you need to do to qualify for that type of banner ad? My guess is trade mark and major brand recognition

this needs to be higher up.. that's awesome to know! ... we might actually be able to emulate the Ps3 on the computer! hah
