On SHI, it's listed at $16,779.00 (per unit?) https://www.shi.com/products/productdetail.aspx?SHISystemID=...

Agreed. We got around this by hacking the single use CVS/Rite Aid cameras according to the below guide. Dropping one of these in the water or on some rocks didn't feel quite so dev…

I also had a lot of fun KAPing before drones. Stabilization was handled fairly easy with a Picavet (or Pendulum) suspension system. Neat and low tech. More details here: https://en…

First thought (to the article title "Why we stopped building fatjars") was that the build person had "graduated" and took their newly "acquired superpowers elsewhere" [0] Joking as…

They've already increased it from the originally published concurrent requests per function limit (originally 50, now 100) [1] We'd like the "Total size of all the deployment packa…

It was published by the Wall Street Journal. The opening sentence incorrectly attributes Forbes. "Yesterday Forbes published a piece on 'The Billion Dollar Startup Club'.” http://g…

Someone did (Marty Lagina) and they attempted a number of things last year. This is the premise of a reality show on the History Channel called "The Curse of Oak Island." http://en…

Totally agree. For example, the Frontlines project, or "70 miles in 7 years" was done 2 years early and 300 million dollars under budget. [1] That goes a long way towards future bu…

Salt Lake City (also "in the West") already has ~45 miles of light rail track [1], 88 miles of commuter rail track [2], ~3 streetcar track miles [3], and 69 transit stations. It wa…

After ~36 years in the US Senate you're bound to get a few things right.

The social safety net and creative destruction discussion is interesting. However, I'm interested from a design perspective. Does anyone know if this was built by the "apps team" a…

His profile lists "CEO/Co-Founder of competehub.com and ignitelab.net" The irony, of course, is the tagline used at ignitelab.net is: "Ignite Your Innovative Internet Business Idea…

Several people at my work had the same Google Wallet problem. Most of us had a $900 charge that was later cancelled. Ultimate tease. This was my favorite tweet: "Another year, anot…

This is beautiful. I love NPR. I'm curious, what are the rules/requirements for initiating a new "NPR app"? An election app seems totally obvious, but what about other apps? Is it …

No worshipping. Just (parenthetically) expressing an opinion.

John's an awesome guy. He has a great ability to consume technologies and present them in a clear and concise way. These videos are professional and helped me quickly get up to spe…

Indeed. +darrenkopp missed the Mid-Jordan line, the West Valley line (both currently operational), the airport line (opening in April) and the Draper line (also opening in 2013). T…

Is this sarcasm? =) If you want to know how real auto-complete works, try out IntelliJ. Auto-complete on Eclipse is like slowly being pecked to death by ducks. A more accurate stat…

Seriously, right? Integrate it into the Nexus Q and suddenly it (the Nexus Q) becomes a compelling product.

Super Dev Mode and Elemental (appear to) take away two of my big complaints with GWT. The biggest still remains: pounding OO Java into a functional paradigm. One of my favorite quo…

That's welcome news. The only downside of improving compiler speed is that I'll have less time to peruse HN. PS - Great job on the presentation today. Sort of felt like it devolved…

With the new optimizations I will be twice as productive as I previously was (but still half as productive as I would be with native JS).

This is classical geek owning up. My first thought was, this is written with two purposes: 1) to prevent the average, non-technical person from understanding it ("Phew, I'm glad th…

Scanned from right to left, read the URL and thought "Last artup club? What's an artup?" Regardless, great idea!
