Moran Cerf is a neuroscientist who has shown how to project patients’ thoughts onto a screen in front of their eyes by implanting electrodes deep inside their brains and reading the activity of cells. Oh, and he used to rob banks. "There are at least two people inside our mind."

According to scientists, humanity has begun its next major shift: we are now entering the “Hybrid Age”. Across the entire range of scientific and technological disciplines changes are occurring that were unimaginable a few decades ago.

I'm still confused about asteroid mining re: scarcity #economics: More x mineral devalues all x mineral on Earth, no? Say we find an asteroid of pure gold, all Earth gold is instantly worth less and the same goes for the asteroid gold. What am I missing here?

Hangouts, phone calls and Google Voice

Thanks for all of your feedback on last week's Hangouts launch. I wanted to quickly talk about 1) making/receiving phone calls in Gmail, and 2) Google Voice support more generally.

1) Today's version of Hangouts doesn't yet support outbound calls on the web and in the Chrome extension, but we do support inbound calls to your Google Voice number. We're working hard on supporting both, and outbound/inbound calls will soon be available. In the meantime, you can continue using Google Talk in Gmail.

2) Hangouts is designed to be the future of Google Voice, and making/receiving phone calls is just the beginning. Future versions of Hangouts will integrate Google Voice more seamlessly.

At the end of the day, I think that the problem with Facebook is that it has been too successful at harnessing the social graph, thus training their users to think that the purpose of Internet communication is simply reading and responding to what your friends are doing with their friends, which is fine in its own right, but greatly misses the topical context of the datasphere insomuch as you can branch out and learn how to find new friends with similar interests and tastes to your own.

20 years is a much lower estimate than has been given in the past. Perhaps our grandchildren will miss out on airport fondling and warrantless wiretaps that supposedly protect us from statistical anomalies.

I keep reading that Google Voice isn't part of Google's new Hangouts yet, but that it's coming. Well, my phone just rang and it chimed my hangouts, I took the call and it worked great. That was an unexpected surprise.
