The difference is the peer review. If something is published in Nature, you can reasonably trust that it is legitimate science, and not a random person with no real credentials. Its an interesting cycle. People publish their best work in a

Sci-Hub is not a Journal itself. It is hosting other Journals' data. However https://www.plos.org/ does exist and it is a free to access Journal. Unfortunately it is pay to publish. I am unaware of any completely free

It should be noted that this is an unsubstantiated HUMINT report. They explicitly state they have not evaluated the information. The people who write these have to pass on the information they receive, even if it is completely unbelievable.

I have a Schlage on my house, and just changed the batteries (4 AA) after a year. They read as '60%' in SmartThings, but they were getting sluggish. You could hear that it did not have enough torque to do its job as well.

I am sure there is an auto lock logic in there. Like the driver cannot open the next lock if the last one is still open. Or like my lock automatically locks after 30 seconds no matter what. So even if they forget it will be fine.

Reasonable uses definitely. Might be hard to really monetize anyways, its really nice that you keep it available for people to use. If you don't plan on making more money from it, you could always open source it, and let others contrib

Hillmap is pretty sweet. Totally nerding out about it. Geospatial stuff like this is what I really enjoy. What are you looking to do with it in the future?

Thanks for the list, MT has been a place I have admired for a while now. Just had not thought of being able to actually support myself there. I am pretty niche as far as my interests go (Geospatial Development) and there aren't a whole

I am not sure how well it would work to even get Linux on it. I thought they had a fairly locked down boot loader. And no way there is a good driver for the screen release. On the other hand, I have never even contemplated dual booting it b

No one said anything about additional days of leave. If the company gives 5-10 days sick leave (or whatever their policy is) then it is perfectly fine to take said leave to take care of a sick child. If you don't want people taking it,

Except discriminating against familial status is illegal (in the US and apparently Ireland, at the least). And sick leave is sick leave, if I have to take off because I am sick, or my kid is sick there is no difference. Emergencies happen,

So, I am wondering if using MD2D, now that there is no lock in to VUDU only, is actually a viable service. Especially if you can take a DVD, upgrade it to HD with VUDU ($5), and then get it in 4k from iTunes (assuming that movie now has a 4

That is pretty awesome. I have a ton of VUDU codes it might hit. Still waiting on it to sync. Almost tempted to get an Apple TV for that. Almost.

Could you elaborate, what do you see wrong with it? To me it seems like a camcorder, which used to be used all the time. And now no different than any other smart phone camera. Or even just a GoPro sitting there recording whatever.

The argument is not that the recent improvement aren't noticeable. The argument is that there is a point of diminishing returns, and with such dramatic changes in the past few years we are closing in on them fast. Future changes are go

The existence of this heading really bugged me. It removed all the danger. Some number of people were safe and going to survive.

I had the exact same experience. I absolutely chewed up the first act (or two depending on how you look at it) in the matter of a few days, and it was awesome. But I never finished the final act. It was just not interesting enough for me to

The initial interview pass rate doesn't not relate to the number of open positions. It is how many people they are willing to try and find open positions for. Not getting a final offer from a company does not affect the rate of passing

As others have said as well, I have seen the opposite of this. The real advancements have all been in coding up custom solutions to work with larger data in new ways. Things like ArcGIS / QGIS have just been used for visualization afte

Maybe it is because I am not from that area, but I just don't see how anyone can justify that as a reasonable investment. The house prices have to come down eventually right? A house like that in the DC suburbs (depending on exact comm
