I've seen both the Mavic and the Karma, and I have to say they hit different use cases. The GoPro is for when you want a drone that can carry your camera that you can also detach and use with their stabilized handle, which you can then

I've emailed them to mention that low lit photos seem to score much lower than they should, and they plan to look into improving that.

Myself and my g/f moved into a house with 2 friends. We figured a fair way to divide the rent and expenses. We measured out the sqft of the bedrooms, and used the percentages of each room from the total bedroom sqft to split the rent a

Visual watermarks are a deterrent to theft. If I find two similar images, and one has a watermark I'll have to edit out, which am I picking? Unless the one without the watermark is terrible, I'm taking it.

As to the "prettiness" of photography, it is special. If I take a snapshot of a product with my camera-phone and post it, versus a well-staged photo with pro equipment and lighting, I can guarantee as a photographer that the highe

I'm rating $33USD/hr for a open-ended contract out of the US, working on e-commerce and warehouse systems (PHP/RabbitMQ and LAMP stack). Where would I find an agent, or does anyone have any agent recommendations, since I see a few comments

hah That was fun to write. Didn't think it'd actually get posted here, but hey, what's life without a little whimsy?

I still do this all the time. It's a hard habit to break, and it seems to spread from one knowledge center outwards. I've gotten so used to knowing the answers to tech problems for people that it ripples out to things I've only skimmed. I c

I dislike the reduction of controls. One of the things that has always bothered me about driving with my phone as a media player is that I can't control it easily by touch. I want buttons and knobs that I can use by touch for all car functi

Interesting idea. I can think of a few places in my code this would be useful.

I can vouch that this isn't a troll question. Having worked with him for a while, he's asking a good question about how best to keep his company family intact without making everyone feel like jerks about the whole thing.

With food or drink you have to at least have some access to it. With an injector, you could hit someone on the street just by walking by/near them. I make my own food, but I walk by hundreds of people every day.

I agree with these points. It's completely fair for them to have a strong opinion, and express that opinion. I've not felt that any of the stuff I've read from Linus has ever been disrespectful, and they are all well formed and written to t

And bitcoins are not a solution for my parents. This is an interesting idea, and bitcoin has nothing to do with it.

Quote: "as I had cited the documents that proved my point, including verbatim testimony from the trial published online by the Library of Congress" His opinion in this matter isn't as relevant as the fact that he cited actual testimony. Tha

As an employee yes, but as a contractor no. I'm Canadian, and working for an American corp. It was actually easier for them to get me working, rather than an employee.

Being on contract doesn't prevent any of that. I've pushed a few new ideas, and built out an entire new system. In fact, my current contract has considered having me on board such a success that they've hired two new contractors (I was thei

Do you have a page you can point to where they do the drop-in .js, or something as simple as the curl call that Stripe offers an example of? Man I wish we had Stripe here in Canada.

The most important thing to me about having an Android phone is that unlike Apple, Android-based phones can have an actual physical keyboard. You can feel awesome tapping stuff out on iOS, I like having keys I can push.

The community speaks that it is obsessed with Steve Jobs? How is that many posts of something we know about going to help me learn more about business, entrepreneurship, or programming?

Do we need 30 posts about Jobs on the front page?

I built a little page to insert transactions into a database. I scan all my receipts, and drop them in a folder, named as the transaction number a la 12512.png. I've expanded the webpage a little to have the categories that my accountant us

I've been working remotely for a few years now, and I can say that I don't have a HIGHLY impressive track record, but that has not stopped me from being interviewed to see if my skills were worth something. I suggest if you have a little ti
