To me this is an example of extravagant and inefficient use of money. Instead, it should have been used to find a huge pool cavity somewhere high on one of the Hawaiian mountain or…

I’m surprised that list doesn’t include a movie UFO. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt6290798/ Even though the plot is rather simplistic, it has a few interesting physical concepts embed…

That's pretty cool - reminds me about an experiment of improving small fridge efficiency by adding insulation on the sides of the fridge. In the end it worked out favourably for en…

Great points...believe it or not it happens, but privately, in a case by case manner. Also why do you think companies and founders are in the business of making employees wealthy?!…

Where exactly I “leave lies”? That’s a serious allegation and is thrown very casually here, as if it is self-obvious. What he says and what will actually happen is two different th…

And where exactly these taxes will go? From pockets of CEOs to pockets of ... municipal bureaucrats, whose median salary floats at a humble mark of 175K/year? https://www.city-jour…

Look, believe it or not, I am in the same boat - never had issues with paypal, but neither I'm a heavy user. Randomness and the severity of paypal actions is a huge issue for me. T…

I've got the invite to paypal's beta program for crypto. Honestly, you've got to be mad to be dealing with paypal. I've read anecdotes from people, losing access to their accounts,…

The case for Mars by Robert Zubrin, Arthur Clarke - highly recommended for technically minded folks. One of my favorites of 2018.

I'm interested, please invite. MS is one of my hobbies. alex.897007 at gmail

You might want to try COWON mp3 players -- they have the directory structure for tracks and a very good sound quality. I never looked back and everyone how tried COWON do not look …

Have you tried to employ Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to do the computation-intensive tasks? I could imagine that using CUDA-enabled kernels might be of help for processing ima…

What about integrating Adobe PDF? Does Adobe Reader still requires dances around to show something besides a gray screen?

Very nice idea! Do you plan to send out some special seeds (like okra, etc.) as well?

I thought that "miles" is just a nice name for reward points: "Simply multiply the cost of your travel purchases by 100. For example, if your ticket costs $200, you’d multiply that…

I would be happy to test it - pls let me know.

It seems that there is more work associated with your option. If A = all emails, P = number of pending and A>>P, then his method: click "unread" P times yours: click "archive" A-P …
