For an article about how revolutionary these brooms are it would have been helpful for a description of how they can be used to vastly improve a bad throw. Or do some weird turns. Maybe a video even.

Another thought: because all this data is collected and analyzed it will be easier to automatically report this as a problem intersection to the city planners. Granted this can happen now with people calling in but they will forget to do so

Well it doesn't matter if you use FB or not. I bet the patients of the Doctor found themselves through each having her phone number. Hey they both are "friends" with this person maybe they should be friends as well. This d

Clicking on the link launched the Uber app for me. I then rage quitted it before reading anything more. Also happens in "no so" private mode on the iPhone. Apple should really fix that as it leaks information.

I'm not sure how orienting the card that is on your own head would help. You don't know what it is. That being said the method of "Bob always tells the truth, Alice lies" is sort of a card orientation way for two people.

Do actual engineers go to work for Cisco? It looks like they just buy up R&D and then monetize the hell out of it. Which isn't to say it is a bad strategy. Seems to have worked for a while now. It would be interesting to see the l

Usually if you have to ask "is this too X?" It is and you know it internally. They are being socially polite. See if their productivity dropped, they are out of the office more, they exclude you from events, or if they quit.

I'm glad to see this as lately "two day prime delivery" is really three day. Also had another delivery that said it would arrive on a Thursday (!) after ordering on Friday instead come on Friday. In the 10 years or whatever I

I'll add to that: I've bought some knock off iPhone cables and a MacBook Pro power supply ($84 times two for a dog chewing through it twice) and they all look similar to the real product except there's a defect In the iPhone

In this case isn't it the business - government collusion that has high sugar tariffs making corn syrup an attractive case? Without the government enforcing this perversion we might not be in this situation (probably in some other situ

Another facet of this is that with more people comes more communication needs. So either more management or things get dropped. So while it seems like a 25% drop in hours would only mean a 25% increase in number of employees that later numb

The UI for their app can be changed without a deploy? You mean like an HTML page from yesteryear? :)

Or you could have the situation a couple of blocks from me: 1920s remodel that was awesome in the inside sold for $850k. Crappy 1940s house with one owner for 40 years (and it shows) is Zestimated to be the same price as they have the same

so if the agent is more incentivized to sell at $9m and make guaranteed money rather than $10m and making a little more at the risk of losing the deal, but it gains you ~$1m in income in selling it, doesn't that mean the agent should g

It bothers me. I was playing with the Vive and the controllers with the smooth trackpad and it was a really odd experience. First I couldn't tell what I was doing as the pad was frictionless. Then I saw a little red light to indicate I

Because these types of problems never occur when you are running on bare metal? In fact it is worse: typically you are resource constrained as the budget cycle to buy new hardware doesn't start up till next quarter so you literally don

It is far safer not to do it in the first place. I can easily see a new sys admin coming in and wondering where all the logs are for a url and enabling it. Or they send their logs to an analytics firm. The firm says innocently enough "

That's a good point about not carrying cruft forward. I've often seen on projects where there's crazy methods like sendEmailOn3rdBirthdayAfterFullMoon as someone somewhere needed it for a single project but who knows if it is

Should you know who all your clients are? That seems to be a workaround for not having an adequate testing framework or a contract stating what your code will do. Do open source frameworks know everyone's code that is using it? Plus

I find it a lot easier to read, part of which is that I'm used to the Scala way of sequence dot map function. When I see the python one I can't remember if the function comes first or the array.

That's what everyone else on this thread is missing: sure the basics are there but people don't know how or to what to apply them too. It is sort of like complaining "but it is / is not in the spec!" And expecting t

I love the bit about Uber not knowing how to calculate driver costs. One of the most data driven companies in the world can't figure out how to create a lookup table of gas prices, mileage, and car deprecation?
