Thanks! I'll check it out. And i generally agree with your last statement, so by no means do i wish for an island completely ruled by scientists, but I think it would be neat to have a country/city state type thing incredibly renowned by th

Sometimes I wish there would be a country somewhere with an incredible driving force behind science where things like this would be possible. Still partake in ethical research, but reject the knee jerk emotional reactions that some experime

I'll admit I haven't used it as much, but I was quite impressed by the looks of it. Yes the snap solves the problem, however you can still only share to that snapped app. Maybe we'll see a change in the behaviour of the Share charm in a fut

My understanding however from the "Windows 8 Doesn’t Want Your App. Try Again Later" post was that as part of the approval process, MSFT does automatically test the apps in a low performance environment, and if they don't meed specific benc

Regarding the Twitter clients, I tried Tweetro on my Windows 8. Haven't gotten to use it too much, but it seems kinda cool. Especially the link preview. I'm wondering if you tried it, what's your opinion on it? As an aside this brings me to

That looks quite amazing! Thanks! As an aside, I've actually been meaning to learn about writing drivers for a while, especially in preparation for a uni course. So with windows 8 here and all of it's cool touch gestures, it would be even c

Win+I also brings the settings slide-out on the right, with the shutdown button at the bottom.

When this came up on Reddit earlier today, I read that if the vote passes through and they need a majority people to vote for it, but that doesn't happen, they will make the project a federal one instead of state, so no state money would be

I would say it all depends on the reach. If a company publishes 10 posts a day, without promoting them, then I would think that only a few of the fans will get more than 2 or 3 of the posts that day (if we're to go with the 10%-20% estimate

Wanted to point out that the Alt+Left key gets broken on their page and you either have to do a Backspace or just click Back.

While I understand the basic idea of "make the idea their own", is there any way you could either maybe expand on that a bit, or point me to an existing blog post or something? Regarding the communication bit, I definitely agree with the or

One other feature I'd like to see is an "Add to Wishlist" button. Writing the book title in a new tab is quite annoying and this would definitely help me save time.

A small fix, Pebble is actually in Cali full time now. And it's been this way ever since YC 1.5-2 years ago when I interned with them. The other thing is regarding familiarity, startup focused folks don't strike me as being too fond of fami

Checked Google.ca. For Colon Help your blog from July of Last year is 5th. The first couple are theirs. And the 4th one is irrelevant; it's about semicolon's. It's quite shitty that after all this time Romania is still such a piece of work.

Do you mind providing a link to the TED talk in question? Been thinking about that kind of future lately, and was wondering what other people (who've probably thought about it for longer) have to say about such future.

Ever since I discovered the keep-things-in-the-same-pocket trick a few years back, the number of times I forget stuff at home got to virtually zero. When it's time to leave, all I have to do is slap all of my pockets to get a feel for what'

Same goes for Toronto (GTA), Kitchener, Waterloo, Stratford, Ottawa, Niagara in Ontario, and Montreal and Quebec City in Quebec.

There's tours like those in quite a number of big cities, including San Francisco. Whenever I was in the city, I'd see them all the time.

Though a case can be made that this is mostly irrelevant in Waterloo's case, as for all intents and purposes, everyone in Waterloo who might be interested in what Waterloo has to offer is a student at Waterloo.

As a current student at uWaterloo, I was actually quite saddened reading the article, and knowing that UW could be so much like this, and yet it's so far away from it. Not sure when you graduated, but as of a year ago, even buildings that u

Somehow I seriously doubt he will sell SpaceX especially if it's just to turn a profit. Sure in case something happens and all of sudden SpaceX as a business starts flopping, he might end up selling it to other defense and aerospace manufac

That doesn't mean that people can't complain about it. They could have easily supported multiple locations and credit cards and still streamline the process, and the only users who'd have to deal with it are the ones who need to use the fea

If there is no automated price scrapping based on the local stores in your area, I think an averaged out "Walmart Price", or "Kmart price" would do just fine. I'm not too sure what the price difference is in Walmart stores across the US, bu

I can completely correlate to the uneasiness brought by truly realizing the scale of things. If you do like video games, one that had such an intended effect on me was the first Mass Effect. There are a number of side missions where you des

I don't necessarily think that will be the case. As far as I knew (and from re-skimming the wiki article), car sickness (and any kind of motion sickness) is caused by the brain seeing different things than what it's processing from the inne

Do you know of any videos where we can hear the sound of that many relays? I believe i've heard sounds similar to what you are describing in movies, but I'm not sure if those were the same thing, or if they were accurate.

That is what I've done at a few projects for work. Worked quite well.

Yeah, in terms of curriculum differences, CS is definitely a lot more theoretical, with heavier math and pure CS courses, while SE has project management components, more programming, some computer science, some Computer Engineering courses

It wouldn't be too far of a stretch. Starting simply with the knowledge that dreaming happens while in REM, someone could find it logically to switch to an Uberman-type Polyphasic sleep schedule, since one of the biggest advertised advantag

At the university that i attend (University of Waterloo, Canada), we actually do have a Software Engineering program which is part of the Engineering department, and a Computer Science curriculum which is part of the Mathematics department.
