The whole system is awe-inspiring. Have a medical emergency? We'll send a several-ton box on wheels speeding your way within minutes. If you're in a city, the traffic lights will turn red as the emergency vehicle approaches to

I wonder if this could be used to infer information that users may not intend. For example, perhaps copying a file and fraudulently altering something in it at a specific time could be used as evidence in a trial.

Hey, I'm sorry to hear about your situation - to be honest it sounds stress-inducing on its own. Your question is vague considering the type of advice you're looking for. What is your living situation like? Do you have any immed

I just finished my undergrad at a traditional four-year university in the United States and this is spot on. The language problem you mention is very real - I have taken classes with professors who are almost incomprehensible when speaking

This is awesome, I had no idea you could use Chrome to run a webpage with JavaScript and dump its contents. Thanks for sharing!

Why can’t we just put the mummies through a CT or MRI scanner? If the ink used in the writing found here or other components deeper inside the artifact have different densities, a CT scan could detect that and pose no harm to the specimen.

This sounds very interesting as another metric (like weight on a scale, as you put it) for someone trying to be conscious about their health. Is this something that a person could do cheaply at home with over-the-counter diabetic testing s

I don't have an opinion on this technique with ads vs. calls, but ads are transactional. You get some piece of content or an app in exchange for your attention, usually initiated by the user, and with low friction to close the tab or

This might not be the answer you expected, but I would highly recommend looking into the resources that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has available in the Chicago area. The Mormons have locations known as Home Storage Cen

The person you're replying to may be referring to the fact that DSM-5's diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder exclude a large number of people who would formerly have qualified as having Aspberger's Syndrome. TFA

The problem is not that humidity will increase. The article explains that the human body's ability to dissipate heat into air that is both hot and humid decreases significantly around 35C.

I agree that the victims of false imprisonment deserve a heck of a lot more than they get now, but one thing to consider is that mandating things like this may lead to fewer convictions being overturned due to the costs it would incur. It

I'm a bit confused about the "hash" part of this... wouldn't you want to be able to go back from the hashed string to the original location? I can't think of much of a use for only being able to test locations to s

The best solution will depend on your needs and the specifics of the situation, but one alternative to a dead man switch is to have instructions or credentials that require multiple trusted people to access. If you are paranoid you can cho

I just wanted to say that the diagram of the transformation from RGB to the different color models is absolutely beautiful as well as informative. When I have a free day or two I am going to have to put together an animation for it where y

In a single payer system, there wouldn't be an insurance company sitting between a patient and the medical provider, extracting rent. The middleman and associated overhead would not exist (or be centralized), which could make the mark

I'm a student in university now, and I can relate to your experience. What helped me a lot as a kid was being motivated to learn things when it didn't seem like "learning". For example, I was able to get the hang of pro

I would argue that in some cases (certainly not all), a little bit of strategically placed "wow" may be vital for some startups to grow - small things that make users love a product and show others. The vast majority of users wil

These diseases are all symptoms of one somewhat obvious underlying cause - obesity (which of course has its own causes). I wonder if more aggressive preventative care will be seen as cost-effective by insurance companies soon - it's a

This isn't exactly a productive comment, but I just wanted to say that it's extremely thoughtful to do that for the elders in your family, and I'm sure they would appreciate it immensely. Now that you've given me the id

It's really interesting that they were able to use typed arrays to get better performance out of it. If anyone is looking for a more bare-bones approach to simplex or perlin noise, I've had good experiences with this library: ht

Google Keep is a great little thing for small lists that get tweaked often, like things to do, daily objectives, shopping lists, etc. The web version is quite nicely made and suitable for avoiding distractions. The only qualm I have with i

This was my first thought as well. Why go through the trouble of redundantly fetching a resource by URI and verifying its checksum when you could just use a system designed for this in the first place?

I don't think that the explanation is so simple. A different way to put it would be that it is based in the way that U.S. law allows you to sue anyone for any "damages," real or imaginary, only proving that you got hurt. Any

The German school system divides students into three distinct groups starting in the fourth grade, meaning the decision is made in the third [1]. The three divisions are 1. Hauptschule (central, lower-level school) 2. Realschule (technical
