Many people would like to be able to record snippets of people approaching their door. Good to know what's going on when you're not there so you can calibrate your fears with reality. Now you need to send the recording somewhere.

Yes. Here's a concrete example: Google has (or had) a stray cat feeding station at the Plex. When birders complained, the security threatened the birders if "anything happened to the cats." The Plex is located next door to we

Yes and no. This means you can sue despite not being a customer. It does not mean your suit will succeed.

"Take a warm bath" suffers from a lot of the same problems as this study. You can't actually have a blind control group, so there is effectively no control group. So this is really just 17 people assigned to take a warm bath.

They gave you access to read... not to download and read later. So no shock you got blocked. IMHO as a life-long ACM member... library access should be permanently free. But that's clearly not what they have chosen to do.

Yes, I get that... but there is an implicit "what should be fixed" attached to the complaint. This white-collar punishment is going to hurt him badly. Is fairness best achieved by hurting him even more? Or is it best achieved by &

Is your complaint that his sentence is too light? Or that non-white collar crime is punished too harshly?

I don't understand Apple's aversion to accessible DIMM slots and off-the-shelf M.2 SSDs. It used to be that Apple charged a lot for RAM and Storage, but you could save a bundle by bringing your own. For example, my 2012 i7 Mac min

Rotational speed of Earth is 1,000 mph at the equator where it is moving fastest. Other parts of the mass are moving slower. The entire Earth orbits the Sun at 67,000 mph -- around 67X faster. And note that it is the entire mass of the Ea

I didn't say or imply the cost wasn't worth paying, just noting it because it is an example of the economic impacts that can be anticipated.

Las Vegas is hosting it's third largest annual convention (130,000) on March 10 [1], though that has few international attendees. The fourth largest (100,000) in late April is notably international [2]. Worth noting that unlike GDC, b

The iPad 1, which I owned though I'm not the parent commenter, came with iOS 3, and the final compatible release was iOS 5 two years later. It worked poorly with iOS 5 after two years, and was fully obsolete after three years. Even for

The discussion suggests heating and air conditioning as partial causes. It also discusses reduced infection (which is correlated with lifespan) as time passed due to antibiotics and anti-inflamatories drugs.

Boiling water is at 100C at standard pressure full stop. It is not affected by weather (humidity or air temperature). It is not affected by location unless your change of location involves a change in altitude which accompanying pressure ch

That's an interesting phenomena, but it is definitely not what has happened here. The introduction talks about it a bit, but the discussion really gets into it showing why it cannot be measurement error.

That was all based on a "green" news article being recycled on gizmodo. The original article was full of incorrect interpretations of data and so forth. E.g. lawns are not, contrary to the original article, the #1 crop by area. La

I'm allergic to some dyes. The dyes are plainly non-toxic, but I can't wear them. I'm also allergic to dry cleaning solutions, so it sucks to be me. Seems to me the issue isn't Land's End, which is making uniforms t

In California, a helmet is required for an ebike that can go 28 mph (class 3 e-bike). For the 20 mph e-bikes (class 1 and class 2) no helmet is required for adults. I'd really like to see more support for class 2 bikes on bike paths a

Sure. In the case of Qt, it was very expensive but well worth paying for because it does a good job. The LGPL stuff is important because it provides us with an "out" if the Qt company goes crazy with prices. Avoiding the "out

The behavior of the Qt company lately is a bit troubling. First, the core can be licensed under Commercial or LGPL licensing. This let's non-paying developers use the core in commercial software. This policy was established to ensure t

That's not correct. The California Constitution has always made beaches public[1]. The Coastal Commission was established in 1972 to improve access. The act grandfathered in properties with no access, but requires any improvement or ch

The law is not implemented like that. Basically if there is a property which does not provide through-access to the beach, the law does not require them to provide it. If any change is made to the property, including improvements, then as p

The license looks like a mess. They claim their own code is LGPL, but it looks like some of their code links to GPL modules (e.g. serialbus). To my mind, this is entirely GPL and heaven help anyone who mistakes it for LGPL.

The version you are comparing against is ancient and assumes a low-memory footprint. It only uses something like 10KB of data. It also has a ton more features -- like command line parsing, the ability to read from a file on the command line
