Adding new sites should be easier. I get that this is a tradeoff between rapid engagement and trust, but since the project is so new it's vastly more likely that a visitor will want to add something as opposed to successfully looking

There are two flavors of coworking spaces, one where have a community office that allows you to work there on short notice without a lot of commitment, and the other one is basically a shared rented office space. It may be cultural, but cow

Attacking is probably the wrong word. It's likely frustration and disappointment. I get the feeling that the patient and his mother can't really grasp what's going on in their lives, and it makes me wonder whether he was chos

It's the countdown until the mic switches off again. You may not want to keep the line open all the time, it may prevent your computer from going into power saving mode (not sure), and Shazam probably doesn't want everyone to hit

Yeah, I should have made that clearer. It's not a Raspberry Pi. Obviously, if any of the differences is a showstopper for you, don't use it. Personally, I'm happy with my Raspis and I have no experience with the Bananas. But

by Udo 12y ago
If you care about I/O, you should look into the Banana Pi, it's like a really souped-up Pi with a lot of power, like fast Ethernet and a dual core processor. Of course, it also draws more power than the Raspi, but it's still

SoundFlower does this, it's open source. It contains a decent chunk of audio routing features that are inexplicably missing from the core OS X. For instance, you can route application audio out to a Soundflower channel and use that as

That's not what I mean. Researchers in all countries get infected with these things all the time, too. But it's questionable whether Ebola specifically can take hold in the northern countries at all.

An alternative to F.lux on the Mac would be great. I'd pay for it, even if it was just a port of Redshift. When I say alternative, I mean a program that adjusts the system color palette based on the time of day (or the light curve as c

Well, the infectiousness of Ebola specifically is questionable. In essence, there is good reason to believe the virus won't be able to spread far outside the areas where it already proved to be successful. So if you're in the EU o

You're the second commenter to say that the answer to me having doubts if we can even in principle have an anonymous instant-tranfer network is: "yes, you just have to drop the instant part" ;)

Is this problem even solvable on a fundamental level? Of course, they can work on preventing nodes forwarding hidden header information, but an entity with global network insight will always be able to correlate users by the timing of their

I "bothered" because the Pi was explicitly used as a target for comparison in the original title of this thread. And I'm not sure where the hostility is coming from, but my point was actually similar to yours, minus the abras

It's a small computer on a single board, but it's geared towards the high end as far as performance and features go. From the Arduinos, the RasPis, the BanPis, Beagleboards, to small but full-fledged Atom boards it's a huge s

I'm seriously wondering what my upgrade path is supposed to be. I have an ancient 2011 15" MBP, which was also the last user-upgradeable Apple laptop ever, but I remain hesitant to buy a new model. There is just not enough storage

That, too, isn't the issue. But I can't answer a comment criticizing my impression of Paris without referring to Paris, can I? Also, please refer to my first comment, I was trying to make a more general case you might agree with.

I've been thinking about why this idea of cyclicality is so powerful and persistent in the absence of any evidence, and it's probably not only inspired by notions of "spirituality" but also because everything on Earth se

Not strictly speaking. Black holes are just ordinary gravity wells. They're strong, and stuff falls into them, but they don't actively suck stuff in anymore than planets or stars do. However, over very long time spans, orbiting sy

I thought I expressed this in my comment, but I'm not challenging the fact that you can have a good time in Paris. That's not the issue. The issue here is people who do have a bad experience, and if that happens in what manner t

I never perceived Paris as a particularly welcoming or friendly city, and I imagine few people do. All the things you read about the Gallic Shrug and general rudeness are absolutely true there, but I found you can have amazing fun if you ju

Because they have been led to believe other EU countries will follow suit, which is not entirely outside of the realm of possibility. Personally I also suspect that there is extensive "sponsoring" by the content industry going on.
