I don't live anywhere near SOMA. I live in Canada in one of the ten or so "tech cities" where one can reasonably get a job as a programmer.

It's more than uncool. It means giving up a huge portion of your life to commute to work, to your kid's school, and to the grocery store. It's definitely not coolness that keeps me living in a neighborhood where I can walk to

Do you replace Chrome OS with Ubuntu, dual boot, or run it in a VM? Do you spend most of your time in Chrome OS or in Ubuntu?

I want a robot that takes my clothes out and hangs them on the line, and is able to distinguish the few items I put in the dryer (socks, undies, towels, sheets).

I want my bathroom and my dishes to clean themselves. That's all. Nothing else is onerous.

I was thinking about that also, and mentioned it to a friend who has some experience with them. She said that they're terrific as long as you have internet access; as soon as you're offline they're holy pain in the ass. When

Thanks! Can you give any more tips? I'm super interested in anything I can do to make, for example, my macbook pro (non retina) easier on my eyes. I've got flux on already, and I'm thinking about using grayscale instead of co

Not really, no, but making the screen black and white or grayscale at least would probably help. Maybe I'll try that.

Yep, that Dasung item is mostly what I found while googling about this. It's a good start, but not useful for my application - coffee shops, beaches, and tents in the mountains.

Lens-based enlargment allows perfect image fidelity, while looking cool and steampunk!

Yeah, I would be interested to know how they stack up. Seems to me that a lot of power is saved by not lighting the screen up brighter than the sun. The updates take a lot of power, I thin, because the whole screen has to be refreshed with

That's exactly what I'm after. Thanks for the link. edit checked it out. screen is parallel to typing surface, looks like a recipe for hideous neck pain. I'll wait til v2 I guess. Still, nice to see that a market exists.

Do you mean power intensive if you're updating the screen constantly, like you would if typing? This article mentions that they're very efficient: http://www.wired.com/2016/05/get-ready-world-covered-elect

I have stolen the exact css from that site on multiple occasions. Which small BC city were you in? I'm in Victoria.

My friends who were lifeguards received pretty thorough training, I think. The certificate takes 6 months of study and includes a full first aid education, as well as water-specific first aid, what does drowning look like, how to swim again

There's no conflict in being a capitalist and thinking that Nestle shouldn't get a pass. They are recipients of government welfare in the form of those SNAP subsidies, since the crap they sell is the only thing people on SNAP can

I've heard of these places they have in Japan where you can pay a daily fee to get inside and use the facilities. They consist of: hot showers books, movies, wifi that you can use while you're there soup on tap vending machines wi

You're not required to disclose your religion on the census. You can leave the field blank if you get the long form, and it isn't asked on the short form.

Yeah, I hate it. Vote with your clicks and never touch those headlines.

I spent the past month travelling, sleeping someplace new almost every night. Did not get used to it. I had maybe 4 hours of sleep per night. Still, I was awake during the day and I had more functional hours to use for exploring, so it didn

Interesting enough for you to spend 5 minutes of your life commenting. I agree that it's a bit low on nutrition though. Funny to see stuff like this once in a while, but I wouldn't want the front page to get clogged up with this k

Lucky, sure, but I wish there were some kind of consequences for behaving that way. Seems like there's no incentive to act professionally and businesses know they can get away with it, so "ghosting" is now standard business p

I've never found that to be an advantage. Usually if I indicate that I want to pull in, the driver behind me will immediately make room. On the rare occasions when they don't, it often turns out they had a good reason for keeping

How do you tell the difference between mold and scoby? Is the mold black or dark?
