That's a solid idea. Will be interesting to see if things like this change how new homes are designed.

Mans Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl Amazingly powerful read. It is simultaneously completely saddening to read what some humans are capable of doing to others, but also inspiring to see those who were victims of the holocaust and how

"How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie, because it changed my understanding of people for the better. Absolutely everyone should read this book. I wish it had a better title. "Understanding People"

It's just like anything else that we used to live without ... mobile phones, call waiting, microwaves, you name it. Doesn't mean that having new things today isn't an improvement or more convenient in some ways. I've use

Radley Balko's book "Rise of the Warrior Cop" goes into these issues in depth. He looks at the history of how the war on drugs, among other things, has contributed to the rise in military equipment and tactics being used at t

Because politicians like to appear "tough on crime". Because prisons make money when we lock up drug addicts. And because Americans are somewhat punitive in nature. We should be putting money into helping people rehabilitate. Help

Like how it is generally illegal to record phone calls without notifying everyone that a recording will be made. Actually, that's not true. Federal law only requires "one-party consent" - that is, it's legal to record

Activating light switches by voice feels hopelessly inefficient to me when you compare it to just using a light switch Once you have several lights installed it's not inefficient at all. I can say "Alexa, turn on the downstairs

I have to disagree with this one. I have Hue lights and I rarely ever use the app to turn them on or off. When I come home and it is after sunset the lights come on automatically based on geolocation. When I leave they turn off. Also, I can

Has any case regarding civil asset forfeiture actually made its way up to the Supreme Court yet? I'm not sure of any or if the court has actually ruled on the constitutionality of this ever. Interesting history about rem jurisdiction.

If they are in school all day and then pressured with all sorts of homework at night, when do they actually get to learn something they want to learn? Something they are really interested in, but isn’t assigned by a teacher? I think there i

The media player they just released is open source … https://github.com/plexinc/plex-media-player I suppose their server software isn’t … I’m not sure.
