100% free: sure. 1000% more powerful: debatable at best.

You stole my idea for "solving" the middle east!

^THIS The difference in user experience between HTML apps that don't even _try_ to cache anything locally vs mobile apps that sync in the background and cache things locally is nig…

I agree 100% with your general sentiment, but just to nitpick: You would have to really cherry pick the worst case possible scenario to be paying R1 per GB and even then R1024 is $…

I still really want to get a few bags full of Zimbabwean notes and use it to wallpaper a room one day. You'd think that would be easy living in a country right next to them..

As opposed to 10*100GiB that can be uploaded over a 56.6K modem, right? ;)

I'm pretty convinced that self driving cars can fix this. Reaction times will be much faster and they can network together to spread out the braking and acceleration. Possibly even…

Feels like we're finally living in the future.

Same thing applies to any content type. Images, CSS, video support, etc. Why pick on JS specifically?

There is a LOT of lithium in the world and that's just near the surface - you can always dig down. But at that scale you don't have to use lithium anyway. When it comes to grid or …

I think we're lucky in Cape Town, yes. "Maintenance festival" coming up, though! http://www.sabc.co.za/news/a/79d21000481a5710803fc078423ca9a... I've actually been looking into pla…

I'm really interested in how much this will cost. In South Africa we're having rolling blackouts called "load shedding" because we don't have enough power. Exactly why is a long an…

The wikipedia article makes it look like the design was inherently flawed. Entirely possible that venture capital was (at least subjectively) allocated badly AND this project shoul…

You mean there's a chance that this might render him immortal?

Are we talking about water or costs?

"The Tesla Gigafactory", "A battery factory".

Solar is cheaper per watt in many parts of the world, assuming you don't care when you get those watts. You can build more solar capacity than what's needed during daylight hours i…

Maybe for base load, but desalination can run intermittently during sunlit hours only. You only have to stay ahead on average..

Maybe consider a different currency? The USD is really strong at the moment, causing the price to be really expensive for most countries.

It isn't a replacement for Grunt/Gulp. It is a replacement for browserify or perhaps require.js. It builds your javascript and css (and images!) into one or more bundles which does…

Looks like he just traded grunt/gulp for browserify which is also a build tool with lots and lots of configuration and plugins and I'd rather be using webpack in that category. Jus…

If I could vote you up 10000 times, I would.

Have you read anything about what's been happening at Microsoft? I don't think that private organisations are necessarily better.

Here's a direct link to the preview it kicks out: http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/thisarmy/fo... The fonts link straight to Google's Specimen pages and the feature…
