Indeed, and it's really nice to see someone practicing that.

That's fair. It was surprising to me that a few local Chic-Fil-A restaurants served food Sunday to those donating blood in Orlando. Maybe it was PR, maybe it wasn't sanctioned by corporate, but I didn't see it coming.

Fully static sites don't necessarily mean static content in a user interaction sense. A lot of blogging platforms are database driven, but generate static documents instead of rendering the pages on the fly. I agree it's a hyperbo

I'm definitely not suggesting that self-subsistent farming will be common with the product. Certainly not in SV! But it doesn't have to, right? If it can augment your grocery trips and prevent however much food you would've p

> I operate a CSA and grow thousands of dollars of food every year. That's great! And at the level you're at, the product probably doesn't make much sense. Everything is easy once you learn how to do it. I'm curious w

There are a lot of nuances to planting that the back of a seed packet will not prepare you for. There are plants you don't want close to each other. There are plants that require more irrigation than their neighbors. The soil pH matter

In its current incarnation, it's not going to be replacing the supermarket anytime soon. I'm not trying to suggest that it will. But I do think it has the potential to disrupt. I own a small farm myself. If the price point were

This product allows a person that knows nothing about farming to be a farmer. How much space does the average person have in their back yard? Sitting idle, wasted. Not doing anything but providing a bit of aesthetic appeal. If the price poi

Wow. Just wow. I don't know that I've been this excited about a piece of machinery before. This product has the potential to completely change the way we obtain and consume food. I understand it's very niche at the moment. An

I agree with you. People that are otherwise intelligent always seem to inject pre-conceived notions into the idea of evolution. As if evolution is a "path" instead of mostly unrelated tweaks/optimizations. I suppose it's

Elixir and/or Clojure. I would also like to improve my JavaScript chops but can't see myself diving into Node.js. Will probably try to familiarize myself with ES2015.

That definitely sounds like it should be reported as a bug.

Would a system where the liquid fresh water was stored at a significant altitude be feasible? Via evaporation + condensation you could create a battery during the day to use at night.

They mention that in the article -- they postulate that there may be "sweet spots" with the correct temperature to be habitable. These would be located close to where the planet transitions from light to dark.

I'd argue that any sort of bias is orthogonal to the idea of an absolute reality. However, it doesn't preclude any reality. Out of pragmatism we need to be able to define one. The survival of our species also hinges upon that. B

If I may make a shitty analogy... Most humans see reality through the lens of high-level languages. A hyper-defined DSL of Ruby. Our everyday interactions and understanding of the world are both informed by that DSL. However, as people spec

The point he makes is that those instruments and theories have an inherent bias to the kind of reality we perceive. That reality is a result of our evolutionary fitness and is not objective. Even the words we use to describe concepts are a

Often in Texas, it's cheaper to ship the cows to the food than the alternative. Not trying to be pedantic, but it's an interesting factoid.

I think it's much better. However, I also don't enjoy KFC chicken. I find it slimy and too saturated with grease.

Hey! I own my farm in Corbin, KY and my grandfather worked for the Colonel when he peddled chicken at the service/bus station. The "historic" Sanders' Cafe that exists there today is actually across the road from where t

I had a watercooler discussion with a buddy of mine where we came up with PetCube. Apparently we're not as clever as we thought. :) I only saw two pure-social apps in the list. Is that atypical for a batch?

Another +1 for the game as well. As I get older, it takes a lot more for a game to put me into "binge mode". This game did and then some. If you enjoy solving puzzles / architecting software / survival games, you will pr

I should've said *those people. I didn't know it was a team of two.

People dangerously modify their body for non-practical reasons already, so I think it's a given. Once technology catches up to science fiction, cyborgs will be a real (and probably common) occurrence. Hell, I would probably do it.

I definitely understand, I'm not saying pirating is good. I'm especially not saying "Once you hit a certain level of success, you should pirate!" Just suggesting that due to this incident the creators made quite a few sa

I understand that what Kanye did was as wrong as any other pirating. However, as a result of that screenshot that software got a free endorsement from Kanye West. I imagine that guy is going to wake up surprised this morning when he looks a

I think the point is there's a very low signal:noise ratio when it comes to TEDx talks. Do your topic and knock it out of the park. It should raise the aggregate quality of available talks.

I'm seeing a few people claiming this proves we're in a bubble. That we've reached peak computer science. Why? Maybe I'm being touchy due to my location[1] but that sounds rather arrogant. This seems to be a more compreh
