This sounds sooooo awesomely amazing.
A study of social dynamics might suggest ways to get around this. Lets at least keep it in the back of our minds.
Social dynamics would probably be less of a worry than getting funding. Also, internet access. Satellite internet sounds kinda sucky. This looks a tad unbelievable. Or is the internet overrated anyway? I wonder how difficult farming really is. There are probably more efficient and lazier ways to get food. (Which isn't necessarily good.)
One possibly cool thing about it would be a community blog. I bet such a blog could get really popular, and then Hacker News and Silicon Valley people might show up, which could lead to cool things happening.
Added: DUDE. You can fly around in an airplane without a license or anything. We need a fleet of these things, and people could pay to get training or use them. Instant profit.
That wouldn't be my expectation. Money is easy. Social dynamics are hard.
This is one of the useful side-effects of learning programming.
Use a backslash before the internal paren.
Not enough information.
Link
I added a \ to the code you were using to create the link. I added it between the 's' and the first ')'. This escapes the ')' so that it is just considered a character rather than the message to markdown that the address has finished. Then there is another ')' which does not have the \ escape character.
Reason I hate coding number 7: I think I tried every possible permutation except that one, and that happens every time. Okay, not really, I just hate feeling dumb.
Feeling dumb does suck. It may have sucked even more if we just told you to RTFM instead of explaining. In fact, not liking looking stupid is probably one of the reasons I have the manual bookmarked. ;)
Hm, I bet this recurring problem generalizes. What heuristics should I have used to find the manual? I would have guessed 'reddit commenting markdown'.
I just googled markdown syntax. If I didn't know that LW used markdown I would have googled "reddit syntax". If I didn't know LW was reddit-like I would have googled "lesswrong syntax". (All of those worked by the way. Although would have required reading a page then possibly following link or doing another search based on the new information.)
Nothing magic then. Thanks.
(I implicitly assumed that you could see the markup. D'oh.)
