I'm pretty sure they don't make 30k a day though.

It ends up being the most fault-tolerant way of navigating to a site. In the address bar, a typo will either not resolve (which takes several seconds) or it will resolve to a site designed to funnel traffic from the misspelling. Also, you g

Reminds me of those little soap-chip powered toy boats we made as kids.

Polygraph tests do work, but as a social engineering technique and nothing more. Test takers are manipulated into behaving in certain ways based on the belief that the machine functions as they are told. The key is in the way the administ

It's not like they don't know where it is, you'd think they could just go get it themselves.

Broadly speaking we've slowly gotten closer to the monopoly status again which is why we are seeing this now. http://eon3emfblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ATT-Reborn...

e-fraud is about minimal investment and casting a wide net. Even a few dollars of cost to file means there is lower hanging fruit out there.

It really depends. Consider that fact that in many fields, you pay for 4 years or more of schooling in order to get the paper that gets you in the door. If an internship can do an end run around that then you come out well ahead.

A lot of my grand dad's implements were from the 50's - 70's. I never knew him to take any of them anywhere to be fixed. He could to it all with a relatively small collection of tools. Heck, when a tread linkage broke on his

I think it's human nature to more vigorously defend your viewpoint if A: You feel would be strongly effected if it turned out to be false and B: You are somewhat unsure of the validity of your claim. To me, this explains at least parti

Huh, I read it as pretty much the opposite.

I tend to think that remarketing actually hurts many times. I hate visiting a site to consider a product, only to then be followed around the web by banners for that project for days after. It makes me hate the product.

Proper armor of the period was not like what we see in films, it wasn't nearly so clumsy. It's a bit silly, but check this short clip out it will open your eyes a bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm11yAXeegg

It's really encouraging to hear I am not the only one who thinks so. It's kind of my dream to build a game with that sort of depth someday. For now, I'm trying to solve subsets of the problem in a more limited scope by creati

At least in my own experience (admittedly subjective) I am rarely aware of thinking in words.

When you look at TED in context it's a lot harder to poke fun at it. It's a vast improvement on most pop infotainment out there, if only because you usually get to hear a brief survey of a subject right from the source. Most TED t

That doesn't sound like something that was your fault. Sorry it didn't work out man :/

The point I was making is that considering the huge upside, merely double the cost of a traditional highway seems like a very reasonable price.

That's a chicken and the egg sort of question. We've developed pretty separate east and west coast economies and cultures since the travel times preclude much else. If they didn't I think we would see a lot of demand come fro

Thermal expansion is also a well known property and something that is dealt with in buildings and structures all the time. It would be a challenge, I agree, but I don't think it will be an intractable one.

The cost to build one mile of 6 lane interstate in an urban area is estimated at 11 million dollars per mile. If you look at the estimated cost for the hyperloop, it seems to come out at around 25 million per mile. This isn't outside t

I'd also argue that charging you a rental fee for the modem and then turning around and selling access to the device again is shady as hell.

So many things wrong with this: -Comcast provides a device to me and charges mea rental fee then turns around and profits off of it at no benefit to me. The modem even requires batteries which I have to pay to replace for God's sak

I would argue that Google does a lot of things poorly, which turn out to not be a big deal in the sector they are in but would certainly be a problem in aerospace. This isn't a knock on Google, the requirements are just different.

I think the key point he's driving at is this: If you feel inspired, sit down and work. If you don't feel inspired sit down and work. Inspiration can sometimes show you which path to take, but in the absence of inspiration, simply

Honestly, the only interaction with G+ I've had lately is wondering why the HECK it's ruining google cal. "Why are events showing up on google cal that I've never heard of?" Turns out anyone who's in your circl

I read somewhere that the odds they places on getting the thing to stick the landing at all was between 50 and 75%. We put a lander on a comet, I'd be celebrating the upside too if I was them.

There's slack, and then there's there's unnecessary risk. If you can't fit a basic piece of safety equipment on your test pilot then you need to rethink your strategy.

I was also interested in the fast that they weren't in pressure suits. Apparently the ingress/egress hatch is so small as to preclude them wearing basic safety equipment. I'm becoming less and less sympathetic to Virgin Galac
