This seems to be a WSJ re-spin of some nice original research by Trulia[1]. I'd read it there. [1] http://trends.truliablog.com/2013/10/middle-class/

It's so low-radioactivity that it's license exempt. The warning labels are just for novelty. You probably have a more radioactive americium source in each of your smoke detectors than in that entire jar.

I think the Oyua has really shown also that games work well with a controller. Many android games are just trying to use the screen to emulate what we're used to (buttons, d-pad, analog sticks, etc)

The Android-x86[0] project has been doing this for a while! You can run android on x86 laptops that, in theory, don't suck and aren't built like crap. I'd suggest considering them. http://www.android-x86.org&#x2F

Depends on the airspace classification above the farm (affects your airspace and how tall it is). Also technically you can only fly it if you're an amateur, which (as a professional farmer/operator) wouldn't qualify. Often t

I hope we commercializes drones, but I also hope he is cited for endangering the public. Those videos are basically how-to's for what NOT to do with responsibly operating a civilian drone.

This is exactly the sort of thing I hope the FAA regulates. Multirotors now still have a very bad track record for long-term reliability, and even any-formfactor remotely operated air systems have been advised not to fly around densely pop

They already are, but the new nomenclature might be confusing people. RC-helicopter and RC-plane shoots aren't uncommon (with helicopters being far more prevalent), sometimes with first-person-view flying, which is what they're d

It's possible they could even update the Xbox 360 to do this as well (though without heavy branding to show that the update improves networking, users would likely be upset at a new 'you dont support ipv6' interstitial)

They probably had to also touch on the fact that many of them will be flying FPV (first-person-view) with a headset, so dealing with those if they're recorded as well (most aren't, so probably a non-issue).

What does the title have to do with the article? Nowhere is open source hardware mentioned.

I'd be wary not to open yourself up to debate, arguement, or even (!!) lawsuits. On one hand, a positive person may take this as points of possible self-improvement, but another may take issue with your assessment as unfair, unreprese

As I understood it, they were asking about religious scientists. Religious != take-given-entire-scripture-literally. It just means they believe in the existence of a higher power (if you can forgive my paraphrasing). If they did mean scie

It really screamed Rams to me as well (much more than Ive), even more than Newson as well. It doesn't look to me like a Rams/Braun product though, but a product that's trying to be one.

I'm not sure why "not even the Catholic Church" comes into play (is it the standards bar for forcing religious topics in schools?) I'm from the bible belt of the USA, and I've only heard this from protestant christi

I knew a few semi-religious scientists in the past. They were all in line with what we'd probably accept as scientific reasoning behind natural phenomena, but deferred to religion on more philosophical (and not physical) questions: &q

The open source comment has me puzzled. Where does it differ from Android in that regard? Edit: I may have misread, I agree it is good to have more open source mobile OSes :)

This seems very similar to the way mobile devices use vsync/vblank to organize work into frames. [0] Very cool! [0] Good explanation of how this process works on android: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8m9sHdyXnE

I agree the price is a bit steep, but it's not (directly) something you can trade out like that. If you have a smartphone, you can't spend $300 on a nexus 5 and get a wearable device :)

Also notably, the answer linked is from October 2010, so this has been in use for a while.

Good point, but if they're willing to iterate a little on the physical construction, I don't see why they couldn't pass SNELL. (Unless part of the certification is "dont put potentially sharp bits that could fall off in

The unicode-in-strings but not in variables/etc bothers me about Java (coming from Go, where unicode is allowed in variables). It seems inconsistent to have two separate character sets for different semantic subsections of what is a s

What's your use-case for this? It's particularly striking because the Nexus 10 has the same processor as the ARM chromebook, so anything you could run on the chromebook you could conceivably just run on the Nexus 10 as well.
