I'd like to use it commercially but it seems so expensive. $300 for only 3000 API calls. I'd be happy to pay but it would need to be a marginal increment over the CPU + data costs. If that was the case they could get some serious

My limited understanding is that the repair processes also play a big part. For example bones become brittle because stem cells no longer fill the gaps as quickly as they appear. The body also fully replaces every cell every seven years. If

How hard is it to bring someone a menu and then bring them the food they ask for? I don't want to be delighted by the service, I'm there for the food and people I'm there with.

Wait.. is it called policy? That's going to be a nightmare to Google Almost as bad as 'play' (which has largely fallen back to 'playframework')

It seems like a pretty safe bet for the state though. $1B not collected in exchange for $100B benefit overall. And a bunch of high tech and manufacturing skills added to the labour pool, which could attract other companies for less concessi

The best UI is no UI, so glad to have Chromecast to just skip the smart TV UI altogether.

Considering the robots can use radar to see the bullet, calculate the reverse trajectory and have their own laser guided bullets heading towards you before it even hits... I imagine humans will only be fighting robots in person for a brief

Careful that turning the key doesn't engage the wheel lock. Ouch.

I think they're saying you can still identify a device with pretty good certainty by the probe requests it sends. Probe will include the MAC of your home AP and other known APs, which are unique enough, even if your phone's MAC is

Just a caution because it's not clear from the article or app, Open Garden volunteers your mobile data connection. That seems to be the intended purpose for meshing your personal devices, but it volunteers your connection to the entire

How is this not a success for the vendor? They got paid. I do agree with you though that UX is one of governments biggest problems. Imagine the training dollars that could be saved if enterprise software was as intuitive as consumer softwar

Maybe we need to reinvent the app layer. Half the reason web apps are such a good choice (currently) is because of strong sandboxing that allows dynamic code to run locally and consistent display standards. If someone could replicate those

Unless you could grow clones of your own body in vats that leave a cavity where the brain should be when they grow. More like a meat shell than a person. May be ethical?

They take immediate bounces into account, so if people bounce based on appearance then yes.

They've actually pulled a bait and switch on small business. First the pages were free and great, then they started to reduce the number of people who'd see your posts (fair enough, not everyone can see every little thing) Then th

Can't a malicious script scan the DOM and send sensitive info via an image GET request anyway?

Because business users can understand them and the process flow is important to them (entity-relationship diagrams work well too for modeling the data and establishing a basic glossary for future communication) After that it usually turns o

Same. The conversion funnel on getting someone to download an app is ridiculous compared to web, nothing better than just click.. you're in. That and Firebox (HTML based VR metaverse, so you can change server and download new content j

Wouldn't putting more emphasis on karma just lead to more karma whoring? You want to encourage quality dissenting opinions rather than just making the echo chamber louder

I think it'd be ok to sell a game engine to a game company, so long as the openness promises are maintained. Oculus had the dev community rallied around them. They just had to create a platform and standards, sponsor the open metaverse

The social network hasn't been routed around yet. And yet there's still something hollow about having everything you do shared with everyone you know that leads people to give their most bland, crowd pleasing personality to the cr

And how many developers have found success dealing with the FB APIs and platform? There's a reason people only integrate with FB to try and take traffic, and even then they become the customer paying for ads. It's not worth your t

The problem is that before, Oculus was the product. Now they've sold to a company where you are the product. That's a backstab, the business model has done a 180 degree turn. Will developers really let Facebook own the VR platform

I think the landing page needs more work. Show me how to integrate it with a simple code snippet on the front page (and if it's not simple.. it needs to be). Honestly my eyes glazed over a little bit looking at the implementation detai

You don't have to stop using Facebook, just use the HTML version instead of the app. I switched after the email debacle and it's been great, never looked back.
