This is exactly the type of bullshit I'm talking about when I try to stress privacy to people I know and they think I'm a lunatic. Most people don't want to hear what "could" happe…

I was really hoping this project would be legislation voting and tracking for the people. I vaguely remember a project from 5 or so years ago that was called Open Gov based around …

If you've ever worked for or with a government entity, you'd find that saving time or money isn't a priority. In fact, departments try to spend as much as their budget as possible …

I didn't have cable tv in college back in 2005. We used rabbit ears. I went without cable tv for 8 or 9 years and subscribed a year or two ago. I look back and I'm glad at the mone…

Student loan debt surpassed credit card and auto loan debt in the US last year. Many college grads graduate with large sums of debt and can't find relevant jobs. Since student loan…

Every time I read about living off the grid, I think about Ted Carns. He's done incredible things in off-grid living. If you've never heard of him, check out this documentary: http…

I'd like to replace the native call/text functionality in Android. I'd like to build an Android app that will handle incoming/outgoing calls/texts using Twilio. A wifi-only phone o…

Excellent example, thanks! Looks like that has a dependency on React. I'm currently trying out Angular but I'll give this a shot too.

Going with the native Canvas API is where I'm heading. I've used RaphaelJS in the past. This week I've tested out PaperJS and FabricJS. I'm trying to save some time and code manage…

I'm currently testing out Canvas JS libraries. I'd like to build a simple paint type of web app using Canvas and JS. I'd like to be able to create layers, draw, erase, etc. I teste…

I'd imagine you'd want something good enough to be able to read license plates in case of a hit and run.

If I had the spare cash for 2 cams, I'd set them up on my motorcycle for insurance purposes. I've heard too many stories about motorcyclists getting hit and being blamed for the ac…

That's a pretty generic canned response. While I'm interested in your "proprietary technologies," I'm more interested in how you plan on physically buying the tickets. Are there AP…

How is something like this scalable with a large amount of users? Will couriers be spending hours buying tickets at convenience stores?

Although it'll never happen, I wish the US would adopt siestas.

Could anyone point me to some sentiment analysis frameworks and/or update the list to include some?

I wonder how a site like this fits in with the right to be forgotten: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_be_forgotten

Here's a good article about Civil Forfeiture written by Pennsylvania State Rep Jim Cox: http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/thinktank/Pa-must-reform-...

No one is going to steal your idea. Besides, an idea without execution is nothing. If you've been down this road before, you'll know from experience that it'll take every ounce of …

What do you use to transfer links and files between devices/computers/tablets/phones/etc? Email? FTP? NAS? I'm looking for a good, seamless solution for this.

I have an old nexus I don't use often and would like to attempt this. Anyone know of any good mirror suppliers in the south jersey/philadelphia area?

I don't think this is as much of an issue as being portrayed. I've hiked 2 sections of the AT this summer and found no trash in either of them. I could see certain parts like the b…

How about only pulling messages and users from within your zoomed-in map bounds?
