Just had a robo-call that school meeting was cancelled for the local school due to a burst water pipe.

The value proposition of a Chromebook Pixel is excellent battery life, a free Terabyte of Google Drive space (4 yrs), very nice touchscreen display, quality craftsmanship, secure and fast OS, lightweight design, and great microphones even.

Chromebooks actually can be viable for coding. Firstly, Crouton lets you operate Linux and switch instantly between ChromeOS and Linux. Secondly, you can use an online IDE through Chrome. Thirdly, you could remotely operate in Windows using

To add to others' advice, I'm going to recommend a subscription to Safari Books Online. (no affiliation) I consider it to be a great platform for reading technical books at an affordable price. (access to latest editions, etc.) Th

I enabled 2 Factor Authentication some time ago and know I am much more secure now. As for password managers, I think it would be cool if the browser &/or websites could figure out a way to launch a default password manager install

Academic science somehow manages to police itself fairly well with peer review processes. Wouldn't this type of paradigm work better than paying for the FDA to go through its approval process? The FDA could still take action if they se

He didn't fail to notice they're different agencies. He is asserting that they both (being both government agencies) have each been inconsistent in their regulation.

Hmm, interesting. At first seems more hygienic but on second thought, it might make it extra-aromatic when depositing bodily excretions into the hot water. Perhaps not a big deal though. But given that water has a high specific heat, that c

Heat hot water for house and use forced air ventilation over cheap heat exchanger (vented to outside) for excess heat after that? Also, could duct the heat into the clothes dryer maybe?

In theory, democracy can be a somewhat workable system. (I wouldn't say robust but workable.) In practice, at least in the last many decades, we have seen what happens when special interest groups get to write their own laws and regula

It looks like we're gonna need some innovations in light fixtures which have better heat flow/sinks.

I have long suspected this to be the case. I have observed the association of obesity with "impoverished" Americans. Think about the kinds of food poor people buy. Macaroni, Ramen noodles, bread, soda, McDonald's (fries, brea

Couldn't the server check for a "trusted IP(s)"? Two-Factor Authentication is great but even without, it would seem that they could more aggressively lock out any new IP address which is failing password retries several times

Even if the laptop & desktop PC markets are not growing as fast as in past years...it still is a very large market. There is far less incentive for most people to buy newer or higher-end hardware for the PC than smartphones. Mobile devi

I'm not familiar with chemistry but I am pretty sure that MSG (glutamic acid bonded with sodium) can have different properties (or be handled differently by the body) than glutamate...the amino acid.

This is a really helpful and pertinent insight IMO. A few solutions: Turn off dynamic highway suspension feature Use RADAR to detect debris and cause suspension to lift to avoid as much damage (could cause vehicle instability) >To avoid

I have found that for me, Workflowy provides an excellent platform for taking notes and is great for organization. Its simplicity is actually a key feature. I find I miss having certain features sometimes such as being able to link between

This is explained simply by setting your mind to something, selective attention, etc. I'm not sure why commenters are looking for exact science when we don't even have a working model of consciousness let alone the subconscious. W

I think this is exactly what the electric motor does: compress the air if you run low.

approx. 8 year payoff (to break even with what you would have paid for utility bills) with around a 30 year lifespan at least...4x ROI. How is that a bad investment??

There can be no denying that solar panels and other alternative energy sources _are_ an extremely good long-term investment for those who own homes or brick and mortar companies. Don't let any amount of "skepticism" fool you into thinking i
