That's 12 hours of battery life in optimal settings. Being connected to wifi/downloading, watching videos, playing games, or doing anything computationally expensive will significantly reduce that battery life to a couple of hour

Sounds like you enjoy building software, I wouldn't take up your dad's business. It also seems like your hometown doesn't have many great companies to join, I would move to a location brimming with opportunity like San Franci

Heroes of the Storm is probably over 100 times less popular than League of Legends, not much more accessible for new players, and is a much more shallow experience. Dota, LoL, then Dota 2 have been extremely popular and wildly successful fa

Maybe I'm just ignorant, but isn't it easy to just smelt the metals down, put it through a centrifuge of some sort, and find out the alloy composition?

Seriously. Spore got boring extremely quickly, and the playerbase died in a week. I suspect the same will happen to this game.

Why can't we just have the pilot in a pods/simulators in base and have him/her control the plane remotely? Too much latency? Seems much safer for the pilot, makes the plane smaller, and there's no worries of G's on

I'm going to say keep drinking caffeine, but not more than what you already consume. Exercise. Aerobic > anaerobic. Take breaks from the computer every now and then for long periods of time, perhaps on the weekend. Change up your ro

I don't get. You can successfully deliver products on time for clients whilst freelancing, but when it comes to your own product you jump around not able to get a single thing done? Since you freelance, I'm assuming you're al

From my experience, having top-tier CS skills is definitely a harder requisite than being a "likeable person" in the hiring process. Yes, companies are looking for culture-fit and making sure you're not a total weirdo, but ha

There are a wide range of stages for startups. Many post-series A startups pay very competitively in SF (~120-200k). Early stage startups won't usually pay as well or offer as great benefits, so your main draw for working there would b

Oh man, lost the opportunity to snag an easy $3M... although I suppose you would've sold it quickly when the price when up and not held until $1k+.

Why not just vote from a website with your SSN + registered address? Then they could mail you a letter with verification code to your physical address to verify on the website.

The local stores I visit are almost never mom & pop shops anyways, but huge franchises like Home Depot, Walgreens, Safeway, or Target. So the feel good factor is non-existent.

I don't think it's possible to just "think up" true AI. I think the easiest method to achieve it, would be to first upload an actual human brain to a computer environment - by slicing a brain into molecule-thin slices, t

What's interesting is that virtually every single number spelled out from "eleven" to "onehundred" is used as a password. I've also noticed celebrities are really common, such as "parishilton", "michaeljackson", or "jamescameron".
