Something that is hard to mention but is worth knowing is that Hawking is not at the leading edge of his field.

I think the comments on here would be a more valuable "MBA crash course" for Mr. Maffin.

If the article is implying that taskers and buyers were happier users under the old system, what was it about that system that made it hard to scale?

Woz is such a cool guy, he reminds a lot of startup guys of how much pure fun tech was when you were 8-15yrs old and not thinking about money.

I've been on the numbered waitlist for Seattle for 6 months or so, it hasn't budged. Meh.

This highlights how important crew escape systems are. The issue isn't just crew survival, but also the effect that loss of crew has on the program. If crew loss is a real danger, it will happen, and after it does the PR often kills th

CRM for customers, searchable communications (text, google apps) and social media for biz contacts. Formal tracking is time consuming when I can just search for the person and review what we've talked about. I keep hashtagged notes all

I keep customers and business contacts separate, both in my head as well as digitally. There are too many biz people to meet and you'll either go crazy trying to keep up, or it will just be a time consuming 'hobby' cataloguin

Maybe I misunderstood, does "minimum" in this case mean that fees must be "at least ฿X"? So wouldn't a fee minimum enforce a higher drag on the BC economy? I will also google this question down later.

Would this be the end user doing that? Although you can't raw out of an iPhone it's not one-size-fits-all, I'd say it's the opposite as they have tuned the processing for that exact sensor/lens combination after tes

You get called dark current (thermal noise) on CMOS and CCD sensors, and the signal-to-noise ratio goes down as you decrease the exposure time. You see the effect when taking a low light photo, the graininess is from the SNR being very low

"but this formula has other benefits as it enforces minimum transaction fee amounts" Why is this good/important?

Can anyone confirm this in the UK? Also, if you're in the UK I am envious of your access to the BBC iPlayer and its ability to work as your alarm clock.

Yes, that works well with short sleeve shirts, I have a BOA brace that I use for watersports. You'd be surprised how many folks will give a hearty handshake to someone wearing a cast, though. http://goo.gl/zeT40x

One should remember that writing camera software that is agnostic to the hardware is technically hard, and nearly impossible if you want gorgeous photos (a la iPhone). When taking astronomy images we would characterize the CCD (mostly for n

I'm most impressed that they can manufacture 15 million pixels on a single panel without a single dead pixel. They must be wasting/repurposing a ton of panel square footage when cutting.

I wrote a paper while I was doing my phys/astro degree on why the shuttle was bad for the US space program. This was a major reason for it because every accident was guaranteed death for the astronauts, which then guaranteed a shutdown

The trojan feature for Amazon is the eye-tracking. Tracking a user's gaze while they are shopping is the ultimate way to increase sales, and this extends to eye-tracking while a user is browsing. I imagine that even Google would want t

If we exit I plan on telling as few people as possible, why did you want to directly announce to a bunch of people that you now have more money than them?
