That was my first thought too. SoundHound worked 90% of the time for me, very impressive for the day IMO. Too bad it was fairly short-lived - I think they removed that functionalit…

Also, you only have room to park your car when the house is in certain orientations! Some neighborhood kids would definitely wedge rocks in-between the rotating platform.

So the less fortunate who are forced to rely on these basic jobs should live below poverty, so you can enjoy some extra cash to travel internationally? The reality is, in modern Am…

I had an agent once tell me that "you only get pre 80% of the time". So I just paid for a chance at precheck?

Thanks for this reply! I was curious too, since I just spent the last few weeks working with an esp8266 on FastLED. One type of shield/expansion I'd love to see for the Pixelblaze …

It seems like they've chosen to not lay power lines down the length, which simplifies some things and allows them to reduce the tunnel size. But limits their drivetrains to only sh…

Based on the section mentioning the timing, it indeed sounds like it's intended to be one-way, switching direction after the event starts.

It's much cheaper to make an incorrect statement and let people correct you for free, then edit the article! ;)

This is probably the way to go, you just have to worry about data limits and overages, plus the extra latency. Probably not the biggest deal for mobile, though.

An interesting problem, I think. Presented in an amusing tone. The AWS bill was certainly a surprise! I was able to find some of his repos, but they aren't documented very much yet…

I believe if you're labelled as non-performant or whatever, they don't allow you to move elsewhere at Amazon.

That's actually a really good idea! I would love to see this built-in to future router models after something widespread like this. It's fairly reasonable to force users to be phys…

"It's okay, because it happened in the past, too." is such a weak argument in my opinion. We should strive to present our best regardless of the past. History repeats itself, so ta…

You want autoplay off when you're trying to eat up their bandwidth?

Wow, if that's true, that changes the whole tone of this. Hopefully this is just a temporary oversight, and Google allows the opportunity to delete and reuse these 100 slots.

If you scroll through the replies, he does admit to opting into a feature to integrate SMS and phone with Messenger [1]. No doubt there's a permissions/version and facebook-overste…

I would assume it's against the TOS and you'd run the risk of losing your Google Account if you got caught.

That's still very much a premium feature and not at all commonplace, based on my friends with PPL and the trade shows I've been to.

Additionally, in the agreement you sign when you take delivery, I believe there is a clause requiring you to not resell for a profit.

Depends on the culture of the target audience too. In Japan, paying for a friend isn't terribly uncommon. OP could consider that market as well.

If I remember correctly, people at the time were suggesting Apple simply had their own, private version of the popup which indicated it's authenticity via colors or a badge. I hone…

Correct. The parent comment also totally ignores the new attack vector introduced to iOS backups.
