Given all the recent threads about "Neighborhood Electric Vehicle", thought I'd post this. Interesting how the projected price isn't much cheapers than current existing NEVs. When I used to commute to work, I used a bicy

What you call a feel is what I call a skill. It's a different skill to cook on electric coil vs gas or induction, and I find it more difficult on electric could, because you cannot do away with the inertia (beside removing the pan from

Full induction stove tops typically require higher amp line. I'm sure hotels don't put in special cabling just for that, and imagine the same with lots or rental place. As other posters, my experience with mid quality fill inducti

Client side beacons would have to be implemented in the git client, and making parallel requests. I've seen no evidence of it myself, and I'd think people would freak out if found inside git's source.

Same here. They obviously don't have beacons on the client side, I wonder if it's based on statistics, at this time of the day on a Tuesday we should be getting x requests but are getting only x/n.

At 20 USD a pop, Google would make a small fortune! I'd be the first to pay to get them explain to me some of their misterious weirdnesses.

I had not realised it was in Android proper, I have only seen it in Cyanogenmod. I wonder if it wasn't used more because people didn't know about it, and didn't realise how much safer it was. Sad that they removed it.

This is really interesting. I've had ideas about accounting as a specialized spreadsheet for a while, both because most people grok spreadsheets naturally and because accountants only want csv files. In fact I wrote a small script to e

The big difference is that Netflix partly replace cinemas for some people but they are adding less and less movies and more and more series.

I'm the opposit. What can be so detailed that it needs more than a 90 mins film? Some super complicated thing where every detail count and that lasted several decades in real life? Ok, make it one season, and let say 5 or 6 episodes ma

Another learning from this story is that SMS (cell phone text message) can get through even when you think you don't have reception, and based on the weather. Also phones will keep trying to send them until they can. So it's alway
