Soylent is a much better name for a nutritious food drink, it's almost like they meant it from the beginning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sp-VFBbjpE

So how can we / could we have stopped this patent. Is there an easy online way to submit prior art for patents under consideration? That way all the reviewer has to do is accept the prior art and nuke the application

Apparently our financial regulations are an obtuse, onerous nightmare to deal with. I imagine even just getting setup here is a big head start. Google Merchant have been expanding for years but are still ignoring Australia, so thank you Pin

Self preservation is just a selection function. I personally think that all it'll take is a mutating algorithm that can pay for its own hosting by somehow acquiring money and a self preserving algorithm like human intellect could eventually

Is this for long term contracts though, eg 3 months guaranteed work so long as you're not completely useless, implied that it could go on indefinitely?

I'm sure it'll come but I'd love to see a petrol powered version of this with a USB plug for an android phone. You can add all the sensors you want (LTE, gyros, gps) via the phone, and the range would be amazing by using mostly the wheels,

The problem is that not everyone knows everything about 'the market'. Advertising partially solves that, but relying on your social graph is also a really good way to find out which kinds of things in the market you'd like. If I see 50 rest

Well legally they'd be perfectly within their rights to tape you telling them off. And if you got violent they'd have all the evidence they'd need to press charges, conveniently backed up into the cloud.

Hell yes Not to mention you write "obj." and can instantly see all the methods available with arguments. Also if you add say an interface or inherit a new object it will immediately throw an error if required methods are not implemented. Y

That's the Symbian market and it's shrinking rapidly. I don't think they'd want to compete there with Tizen

Thanks for the analysis. The Federal Circuit is really pushing the boundaries in trying to make their patent specialisation relevant to society. If only someone would create patent troll shell companies whose sole purpose is the sue the Fed

The app is real, but they're poking fun at how simple it is. I can imagine their users are either often either extremely hungry and/or drunk, so extreme simplicity is a big plus.

> "I could probably destroy that company if I wanted to, but I'd prefer not to do so. If they succeed, it makes me rich. (I don't have equity, but I have dirt.)" This is not the right move long term. If they've wronged you move on, mayb

Why would anyone think a potential spy would physically carry source code over the border? If he was going to leak it, it would have been sent months earlier over the internet, duh! Especially if he knew that someone was suspicious of him.

The end of the article has a great idea, combining both the voluntary donation model and adding a lean component by asking what people would want to read about. I feel like it might not be a success though as readers want you to just know w

In an ideal world when it comes time to look for a new role you'd browse all the companies with positions open. It's frustrating though, that many, many companies don't advertise the positions because the effort of sorting through thousands

I suppose it's all in the wording. Have the cheaper options but don't call them enterprise, and then have the really expensive enterprise option for managers for who the pain of being called anything but is more than a slight blip in the bu

Exactly, it's just a negotiation. Just be happy with what you've agreed to and don't complain for at least a year once you're finished.

There's no augmented reality, but from the docs it looks like you can stream audio and video to and from a service, maintain awareness of the users location whether they're using the app or not, and push interactive notifications. About all

I'm hoping there's an easy 'be quiet' option. They're 100% right that apps shouldn't be spammy, but we additionally need a standardised option to mute or uninstall apps with a couple of swipes. It's the most walled garden ever, but for some

I don't think it's just about money though. There's this entitled class who just fundamentally believe they are superior, the example from the article being the guy who threw over the fruit stall because the crowd wouldn't move. It's actual

What a great use of attention. Someone needs to integrate this with anki. Although making sentences relevant to the learner is also a big part of language learning, and the FB part does help there. It's almost killing two birds with one sto

I can imagine them banning his account as a 'standard response' to chargebacks. It might not be the end of the world for a personal account but potentially quite annoying for a business with an existing FB presence.
