What's funny is that you don't need a label like this to not be olive oil, most "olive oil" in the US isn't really olive oil, it's a blend with a bunch of additives and it's actually spoiled and been packa

Project ideas come from real world problems. Things like: - I cannot keep my pets form eating each others food so I'll create food bowls with covers that are only unlocked via RFID tags on the pets' collars. - It's a pain in

To solve problems effectively, you shouldn't try and preconceive the solution. If you really want to solve the problem, you'll need to immerse yourself in the problem and field and figure out what are some causes of the problem th

To follow on to eric's comment, there are two major aspects of the law: - what is written as law - how courts rule The most important aspect is "how courts rule". This is because law is open to interpretation by those ruling

Early hires are incredibly important as losing someone early derails progress. Think long and hard about who you want to partner with. Any person you bring on board should vest over time so that if you’re wrong, it doesn’t cripple your cap

Thanks for the added clarity. Being able to charge from below 50% without damaging cycle life is huge. Would be great to see some cycle life charts showing GBatteries vs traditional chargers. One of the other challenges you may face is the

476mi/h of charging isn’t gorundbreaking. Aston Martin, Tesla and Porsche already charge at those speeds or faster. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1118575_gm-working-on-u... I believe their “secret sauce” is

It amazes me that funds hold long positions in a market without safeguards and regulations and that really has yet to formalize. I'm bullish on digital currencies but there's going to be a ton of turmoil while the world figures ou

It really depends on your use case but one of the main "pros" of etcd is the narrow latency band when writing. This article is likely biased to the good parts of etcd as it's written by coreOS but you can see how the latency

Thanks for putting this together, it's great to have something that covers backups and restore and operation all in one package. I'd recommend updating the name to be more descriptive. Anything xDB sounds like it in itself is a da

Thanks. I may be an outlier but I won’t download the trial until I know the cost. Appreciate you taking the feedback.

This mentions try for free many times but doesn’t mention pricing anywhere. Why don’t you have clear pricing information on the site that’s easily accessible?

Would love to see that kind of consumer protection across the board. Almost every US ad looks like this these days: 100% effective, works wonders, fully natural! (These statements haven’t been validated by any organization; our product may

Yea, it is frustrating that these driver assistance technologies aren’t self driving. It’s also frustrating that they are over hyped. At the moment, they are really good in certain situations (stop and go traffic, highways that are maintain

I totally agree that the marketing hype is ramped to the maximum. This is a result of the abysmal lack of consumer protection in US advertising laws. A large portion of advertising in the states is making overblown promises and unfortunatel

I don’t understand what you disagree with. I’m not arguing for or against driverless cars. I’m saying that our basis right now is whether or not driver assistance systems are making driving safer or less safe. Driverless cars are currently

This is definitely a major challenge for driver assistance features. Poorly maintained roads are less of a burden to humans who can more easily account for flaws in road design or maintenance. What is also a major issue is lack of design pa

You’re going to be disappointed for quite some time then. Most of the improvements to autopilot in the near future will be refinement of the cars reactions to sensor data and not new public facing features. They are closing in on the line w

That actually is a part of v9 autopilot but Tesla is never going to put that in writing. The fixing of bugs like this without admission of guilt isn’t unique to Tesla. Apple, Google, Samsung, and many others do the same. The reason they hav

The main point that people are missing is that experienced engineers don’t want to work with people who think like the author of this article. Protocol Buffers are not wrong, they simply have constraints, advantages, and disadvantages. No l

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I think this is a good start and the question still remains as to how usable it will be. We’ve seen this issue on mobile where users give access to certain capabilities on their phone and then are surprised

What’s not clear to me is how this will work from a data storage and access standpoint. In order to have a permissions system, you have to have permissions. For example: read:photos, write:photos, read:running_data, etc In order to do that,

Wonder how pricing compares with http://www.jouleboxpower.com/ . The batteries seem to be the large cost in these energy storage solutions. Removing them and using hydrogen in propane tanks may reduce costs significantly.
