I've never seen any in store demo's for any of the various products. I'd definitely try it if I could, but don't want to spend $15 on a few patties for a product I've never tried.

Exactly, if you can't be bothered to submit it yourself and chat with potential users, or even just other makers providing feedback, then you probably won't succeed.

Some of the ads are almost lifesized books. It's incredibly hard to discern what is ad and what is content.

Has anyone actually found these directories to be useful? I suspect the only people browsing these sites are our founders and not potential clients. Do they really offer any SEO improvements?

There are a ton of companies doing this "Toms shoes" model (buy one, give one) and it doesn't need to be complex. "For every bottle of water you purchase, we fund the clean up of 1000 bottles". Why bring lasers in

Yes, somewhat. I was involved in a project a few years ago where we installed specialized light housing in the ceiling at the hospital I worked at. These units had a UV system above it. Basically it would circulate air over UV lights and t

Correct. Since UV light acts at the molecular level and at the very core of what makes the cell work (DNA or RNA) it's hard for organisms to overcome. There are mechanisms of fixing these dimers, but cells need to produce them (which

I also updated last night and work up to my Bedtime alarm this morning. Given the amount of people in this thread saying the same, I wonder if the OP actually adjusted something and in fact was not iOS's fault.

I noticed you can also just share your approximate location, rather than your exact location. Therefore, as an example, weather apps where my exact location isn't necessary won't get it.

You might be right. The gif on github, at times, shows no plate prediction but still includes a confidence score. I would suspect that if it can't even show a prediction, it's confidence score wouldn't show either (being th

Am I missing something or in this image, is the confidence score 99.23% and has the incorrect license plate? The plates clearly have a 5 but it's predicting an S. https://camo.githubusercontent.com/5138d6bce5c840d15e533

I agree... when you listen to a great comedian, it's not 1 joke/sentence. This article was too much. I still read it all since the overall topic was entertaining but the attempt at humour was overkill.

There are a lot of companies developing river turbines that possible could complement this well. I have no idea if they produce the right amount of power though.

You could create steps so to speak. So across the river there would be bubble lines that are only 20% or so of the span. Then the plastic would step down until it reaches the other side and fish could swim around the bubble lines. I reali
