I didn't find the article particularly helpful actually. Didn't learn anything new. But maybe in the sense of the author pushing his own opinion/bias it was useful: if you trust him, it makes decisionmaking earier. Things like "Use Quickboo

I'm not sure it would be possible to train yourself to turn this on at will, but you can train yourself to make the best of it when it happens. That's what visualization & drills are about in e.g. skydiving emergency procedures.

Only partially. Maybe Airports would not make a good fit, but I'm positive trains would. Or at least the fairly comfortable high-speed rail we have over here in Europe.

I get these from time to time on my professional email address. It's a soft form of a cold call & often contains information pertinent to what you are actually doing. Somehow it creeps me out that somewhere, someone is paid to produce t

In my unqualified opinion retirement is one of the great lies of the 20th century. Politicians lying to appease the general population after WWII. Baby-boomers lying to their children if they still maintain the line today. And you lying to

I wonder if you could make airports your startup 'office' for 30 days like this. I always seem to be more productive on trains or planes.

From the article: "Chimei Innolux will supply 7-inch LCD screens, which use the same IPS (in-plane switching) technology found in the original iPad, which improves viewing angles and color on LCD screens." I was hoping for a retina-like dis

Upvoted because I understand that not everyone has this desire to produce something. I'd wager that the default mental state for most people is idleness.

I love this idea. Most of the time I prefer function over form, but this is just awesome. Choi+Shine added: "Like the statues of Easter Island, it is envisioned that these one hundred and fifty foot tall, modern caryatids will take on a qui

I've known plenty of people like this in the climbing community. When you drop out of society, it is amazing how little you need.

As far as I know, operating a twin-engine plane is more tricky than operating a single-engine plane which in turn is more dangerous than handling a glider.

A well-maintained airplane will last a long time. Well-maintained means doing it the right way: RX components to look for fatigue, etc ... Yes, this costs. Tthere is some concern wrt. catastrophic failure due to fatigue & ideally you wa

Remember that article a while ago that China was setting up more sequencing capacity in a single building than the whole US combined? For now they're still buying US-made Illumina machines, but I'd expect them to come up with their own tech

Wow, a top 10 list article the the WSJ. I totally expect the US market to go down again for the simple reason that right now, the US looks like a failing empire that can't pay its bills on all levels from consumers to government.

I've been trying to convince people to design and code for mobile devices first for a while now. I'm always amazed at the corporate resistance against this. I'm so forwarding this, swearing included. Good thing is that in my startup I do

I wonder what the production cost of an iPad with TWO displays would be? The iPhone now has glass on both sides, what if the front could be LCD and the back E-Ink? Since E-ink is permanent, it could also be a great way to "personalize" your
