Yes, the demo on their site just made me tense. Do other designers enjoy working together in real time like that? I haven't seen that one before.

This (and painting everything beige) has been the advice of real estate agents for many decades, so I'm not sure I buy into the author's assertion that the rise of cable TV created it. When I was a carpenter's helper in high

I feel like that may be a problem everywhere in the country except for Silicon Valley.

You could build 40k of them, it's been done and it's called Silicon Valley. Take a look at the place with Google Earth, it's a perfect example of 50's - 60's dense Western-style suburban development. Even if you cou

I like this, although one thing that I've recently learned is that Silicon Valley has a number of large trailer parks, and you can often purchase a home in one of them for about $70-90K. Many of the trailers are actually quite retro co

Actually, paying robots a salary sounds like an equitable way to fund a basic income.

This seems very well executed, at least the interface UX. I'll spend more time playing with it tonight to test the rest.

Based on your two points, I'm kind of leaning toward the question having some meaning.

I'm not sure this is accurate. In fact, conventional wisdom says that Assange is pursuing this as revenge against HRC, who has historically been a major opponent of his. If he isn't pursuing revenge against her, then why isn&#x27

The code behind this is probably more poetic than the output. Perhaps the union of technology and culture is farther than we think. Although, this really shines a light on the fact that it probably isn't necessary for technology to att

I've often wondered about this. Each time I've compared Jet against prices from other retailers, the results have been underwhelming. Occasionally someone mentions a slightly better deal on Jet, but nothing that would rationalize

Wait, so upvotes from readers are secondary to mod upvotes in some cases? Not that I immediately disagree, but it's an interesting feature.

Since many of us fully expect AI to accomplish all programming in the future, I don't think so. Unless a licensing regime is humankind's last stand against AI.

Not sure the college degree chart is correct. Roughly 1/3 of the 25-34 age group nationwide has a college degree, but according to this, D.C. leads the list with 8.1% of the total city population aged 25-34 with a degree. Am I reading

Yes, it scales like this -> "That's a handicappped-access point, I should park somewhere else." See? Easy.

Yeah, this. NYC issues ~$500 mil in parking tickets per year. If this were a rational issue, someone would look at that and say "Wow. We must be doing something wrong, this is way too many tickets written. Are the street signs clear

I know, it's a play on words on my part. But it is, let's say, "culturally" invasive.

These event-type synchronous, broadcasted human chemosignals open the possibility for objective and non-invasive assessment of a human group response to stimuli by continuous measurement of chemicals in air. I don't agree that this

True, Hackensack Medical Center is actually one of the best hospitals in NJ, so I wouldn't be surprised that people who might experience complications would go there. See http://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals/are

A basic income fails on the same point as increasing the minimum wage - neither provides much additional opportunity in life, both simply make being poor and disenfranchised more palatable.

I don't see how it had an impact on revenue if ads weren't displaying, which would mean that this article is missing a key point. Not sure that each of these down-slope ranking charts are associated with an equivalent down-slope r

Actually, Android users surpassed iPhone users on Facebook back at the end of 2012. I haven't heard that they're not displaying ads on the Lite version, so that shouldn't have an impact. That said, I've noticed that the
