Why not both? One piece of analysis missing here is the opportunity cost of trying to get into professional sports. Is there not enough time off the field to learn skills that can be used for a successful career? Possibly. If an athlete &

Personally, the nice thing about a color name (maybe not these color names) is that it tells you what it's supposed to look like. So if you want a tomato color, you can use "tomato", and not worry that your monitor is or i

The original data is 11.8 million gallons per year. Converting that into liters, then dividing by 365 * 24, and applying 3 sig figs to that result we get 5100 liters / hour.

IMO not all that LogMeIn is a good/bad company, it's that LastPass was sold. Their (your) data is being moved from one company to another. It's certainly possible that LogMeIn stays hands-off and LastPass continues all opera

I have a Roku, and I bought it for the exact reason that they don't (at least from what I can tell) have their own streaming service. I wanted a device where the makers have a direct stake in making the best experience for all streami

The Roku can be casted to, although I haven't played all to much with this functionality. I've done it through the youtube app on my phone. Haven't tried it with Netflix though, but I suspect it would work.

Their lack of support for other devices is almost certainly intentional. (I'm surprised at the amount of sway the hardware teams appear to have over the Prime Video app team. Someone very high up is preventing this from happening for

Are there data sources for traffic? Google maps is my go-to commuting app because it gives me alternatives to get around traffic congestion. Is there any sort of aggregation or service alternative to Google maps (and Waze)?

It depends on the user scenario. My family has a Roku and it's great - our kids don't have smartphones, and we can also choose a video to play by looking at the TV screen. Also note that the Roku has an Android app that allows yo

That sounds like a nice system. In the US we don't have scanners you pick up at the entrance - it's more like you do the part the cashiers used to do. You pull up to a scanner, scan everything in your cart, bag everything, then

Recent versions of Word can also import PDFs, which is useful in a pinch. I think it would have been a good fit for replacing OCR here.

Longer term the team should track down where those PDFs are coming from. "Source --> PDF --> docx --> HTML --> json" is just nuts.

"noticeable" is probably the surprising part. I'm sure it also uses more power on a normal Android phone too, but not to the degree that it does in VR.
