From a pure network connectivity standpoint, you're essentially looking at a bare minimum of ~two frames of latency (about 30-40ms), ignoring additional latency added by video compression/decompression. So, probably not going to

Holy shit, this sounds exactly like me. In my case, I fell backwards out of the shower, but all the same feelings/symptoms. Likewise, doctors are convinced it's not cardiovascular, and MRIs have shown nothing in my cervical sp

On the flipside of this, there's an interesting hack you can use to generate textures from audio, primarily for use in size-constrained demos. http://www.iquilezles.org/www/articles/gmdlsgfx/gmdlsgfx.htm

They can also look for people going straight to a story and upvoting there, upvotes clustered around MS domains, and other things. All of which are currently in the voting ring detection code. HN has pretty advanced code to handle cases li

Within two seconds? I'm calling BS on that. But I downvoted it as soon as I saw it. It's nonsensical FUD and added nothing to the conversation.

I just installed the latest Windows 10 build in a VM, and I'm remarkably impressed. Cortana is working much better than expected, and I'm loving the new start menu. I'm planning on switching to Win10 full time for at least

For those saying that this is unreadable, I really think that the trigraph alternative is for you! Instead of ~- and -~ , you can use ??-- and -??- . IMO, those are much clearer.

It won't be outlawed; it'll just be priced out of existence. When autos are good enough, insurance costs for manual driving will skyrocket . Only the very richest will be able to afford driving on roads.

The biggest thing that focusing on the IARC classification misses is this: the dose makes the poison. I will gladly have a gram of a known carcinogen if I know that I'll need 10 tons of the substance to increase my risk of cancer subs

The funny part is this: That broccoli is not 'natural'. Romanesco Broccoli, like all broccoli, is a selectively-bred cultivar of Brassica oleracea. Also of that same species: kale, cabbage, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts.

Nuclear 'batteries' are radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs). They require a pretty substantial amount of heat to produce electricity. I don't know about temperatures, but tritium produces a decay energy of 0.01859
