It's always interesting when statistics correlate across multiple frames (time, location, etc.); however that still doesn't prove causality. I'm inclined to think that the causes b…

Facebook could make this a promotional win by refunding anyone who funded the dev kit a certain amount of money (down to the material cost for ex.)

The font and underlining change are a non issue for me (other than looking terrible in chrome for windows); however the increased font size is jarring and reduces the amount of inf…

Interesting. What about including a second column showing the back correlation? An example: 'WPF' appears 6% of the time for 'C#' questions, while 46% of 'WPF' questions include th…

Because evolution relies on survival of the fittest and genetic mutation. Your Chi-Pom-Poodle-Terrier isn't an evolutionary step for the canine. And most of all I don't want creati…

This is exactly why metric is so powerful: I also have no inherent concept of a deciliter or decagram, but I can convert to my understood liter and kilogram in moments.

I didn't click on this link, but I really hope the domestication experiment with foxes is not being called 'evolution'.

This might be a minority opinion, but I think more than home data collection (which they probably have a lot of already from phone / computer usage), that this is about acquiring a…

I think there's a middle ground where you are giving the gift of x dollars in real food / livestock to a family in xyz. Then the actual logistics of what that means are figured out…

A pretty illustration of a terrible idea. Gravity just isn't that strong of a force. Electrostatic forces in chemical bonds on the other hand...

I agree with you to a point. Joins are your friend. But trying to pull out all of the information about a graph of 'objects' using a single query with multiple one-to-many and many…

sorry, price inflation. Supply and demand.

The problem I envision with a basic income model is that it could have an inflationary effect - shifting the baseline. The only way this doesn't happen is if our basic income econo…

What about the other way round? The argument for ebooks costing the same as a paperback is that we are paying primarily for the content not the physical form, so shouldn't this wor…

I'm thinking hotel rooms could be a target. Irons that are used frequently and in close proximity to people connected to (or sharing) wireless connections.

A lot of people have macbooks and external secondary displays. Just as you said, these people should be able to go fullscreen on their laptop and still utilize the connected displa…

Does anyone know the relative merits of induction vs brushless with regards to regenerative braking?

Because a monopoly leads to zero competitive pressure - no matter how much we believe in Bezos' ethos.

It's definitely not a source control replacement, but I think dropbox themselves have been pushing their service as a cloud backup solution for quite some time. I don't think it's …

Randall Randall?

'Foregranted' should be a word, I like it.

I wrote this last time too: Having a better conducting, higher surface area electrode is a huge step. BUT it doesn't really change the fact that a carbon based supercapacitor requi…

Honest question: What is the benefit of running a native application inside a browser window instead of standalone?

This is solely a 2D image reflected in glass. The control via finger is novel, but there is no volumetric or holographic effect whatsoever.

Having a better conducting, higher surface area electrode is a huge step. BUT it doesn't really change the fact that a carbon based supercapacitor requires an electrolyte to form t…
