Seems like the Airdog has the functionality, by following a beacon worn on the subject. I just read a good and thorough review about it. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/airdog/introducing-the-... https:&#x2F

First of all, it's not the same company as roomba (irobot). Sounds like you had issues with your roomba (you don't say what they were), but I don't see how that is related to being "tricked." My anecdata: we've

Worse than that, it seem to be alt-right drivel ("jewconomy" on another page) as well as trying to open tabs/pop-up window and run apps on my iPad.

I'm trying to read through the article now, and disappointed in every paragraph. Even the illustration that are trying to be cute are blatantly inaccurate. For example the one labeled "Space Expansion" shows a grid on the flo

Usually, I enjoy articles that explain difficult concepts in math and physics, and I like to think about these concepts. But this article just rubs me the wrong way. It throws out some scientific jargon in the first paragraph that could be

Thank you for these links. I had recently read on wikipedia [1] about how plate tectonics may have started on the young earth, and I was fascinated by the idea. In a way, tectonic theory is relatively new, and already we are exploring the m

That was what was reported in the 1970's. This article covers new analysis that provides evidence that water was the mediator, and also carried away the reaction products. When they went looking for those reaction products, they found

I found the answer disappointing because the argument has a huge hole in it: it discounts the atmosphere. The article says the farthest objects earth-based naked-eye observations can detect are ~70 million light years away, so if you'r

The article is well-written and presents some interesting insight and seemingly useful advice. But there are 2 major red flags here: There are 2 fawning comments here on HN by newly created accounts. Maybe the green color of new accounts ca

The Internet and open data movement are just incredible. I am still amazed that regular people can get such insight, and fairly well presented anytime online.

There is also a Tesla/SolarCity solar+battery plant in Hawaii that opened earlier this year and is currently operational. It is 13 GWh and 52 GW, thus it provides 13 GW of stored solar energy for 4 hours after the sun goes away. http:

As the sibling comment shows, you can build an artificial lake large enough to be feasible. The Okinawa plant seems to have been decommissioned for lack of need (at its given cost). It was probably a victim of the current oil/gas extra

I have read forums and talked with many Leaf owners in researching my own purchase, and while there have been a few niggles reported (random charging problems, or noises, or ...), none have listed problems like this, and not all in a single

The 2015 Nissan Leaf that I looked at has a liquid cooled charger/inverter. It runs when the car is plugged in, not when driving. It runs off an electric pump and handles fairly low temps, compared to an ICE water pump driven by a belt

Looks more like the Pineering Spirit, a ship made from 2 hulls side by side: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneering_Spirit_(ship) There are videos of this thing lifting an entire oil platform at once.

I came to make a similar comment. Look at what Tesla had to do to manufacture in California (partner with old factory owner, get tons of federal loans), and they were lucky there was an old car factory in the Bay Area, it would never be sit

Right, but if you live with roommates (assuming single no kids as well), don't own a car, and are willing to commute 45 min by public transportation, you can live in any HCOL (high cost of living) city in the world, including SF/B

Indeed, the idea of information (bits) as entropy is fascinating to me too. And not just Shannon entropy, they're all related somehow. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bekenstein_bound And then there is the fact

Thanks for posting this, the map and photos give a better idea of the terrain, which the article failed to do.

It's more than just that, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirigisme Edited to add: there are many ways for government and economies to function.

The French already said they could build the California high speed train for half the current estimate, or something like that. As mentioned in other comments, it's the popular opinion and government fragmentation in the US that makes

France has national healthcare and everyone has a smart card with vital information, and all doctors have the hardware to read it and software to process it. Or at least they did 15 years ago when I was there. Edit to add: https:/&#x2

"Cold comfort" indeed in a North Dakota blizzard. But I'm in no way criticizing the standing rock protests, what I'm saying is that it's representative of things to come. When more people realize we can live exactly

Interesting that the Economist is looking at a future where oil demand is lower, but that realization hasn't hit the public yet, at least not in the US. I have been thinking about the Standing Rock protests in North Dakota, and they ar

France has had a tidal generator for 50 years, where have you been? I do recognize that model is limited, and other sites are few and fraught with the same issues as dams: natural flow is better for the ecosystem in those locations. https:
