Yes! Many people think they shouldn't exercise their back because it already hurts and they don't want to upset it any further. In reality, a lot of back pain comes from having a weak back. Squats help tremendously with this. I hi

Tutorials that actually validate whether they currently work. One use case would be tutorials on deploying to IAAS/PAAS providers. Deploying always seems to be the hard part after I build something; I don't like using the same lan

What is the cost/technical feasibility of SpaceX being able to broadcast this landing live? The barge will be miles out to sea where there are no cell towers, so how difficult would it be and how much would it cost to stream a video fr

Because 2/3 of our GDP is made up of consumer spending. By making your cash worth less tomorrow than it's worth today it incentivizes us to spend. If we don't spend our money the economy grinds to a halt in a hurry.

Because all the Fed can do is issue/buy back treasuries (and MBS since Bernanke), as well as act as a lender of last resort. Banks are the ones who hold the vast majority of treasuries so they're the ones who are getting the cash

This is amazing. It's hard to believe someone is capable of being that dedicated to something they've never really done before. I could understand how an amateur golfer who is in love with the game might set this lofty goal, but it seems Da

A quicker way to do this would be to take a container full of 1024 coins and dump them onto the ground so they're spread out. Put all the coins that landed heads up back into the jar and continue this process 10 times. However many coins yo

Pennies do have their place though. As much as I dislike carrying them around, imagine not being able to divide up money past the 5 cent barrier. Every store would have to change their prices to the exact point at which the price of the ite

If the operation was cheap enough, I'm betting the younger generation will use it as an alternative to condoms, then get it reversed when they're ready. I'd get it done as soon as it came to the US, and I'm only 22. One less thing to worry

I think for most people it's about pregnancy prevention and not STD prevention. Ask any college kid why he wears a condom, he'll tell you it's because he doesn't want kids right now, not because he's afraid of getting STD's. Although I agre

No, I'm not suggesting that at all, merely stating an observation. As long as people know the operation doesn't protect you from contracting STD's, that's good enough for me. It's their choice whether to still use a condom or not. In my opi

I would sign up for this procedure in a heartbeat, but it still doesn't get around the (albeit not perfect) STD protection condoms can provide. If this takes off, people probably won't wear condoms most of the time, and the number of people

I'm guessing it's just a matter of probability. Many people only use the web for email, porn and Facebook, and on top of that, Facebook is one of the most frequented sites on the net. If people are visiting porn sites, the odds are they wer

The problem with deflation though is that it encourages people to save them and not spend them. Why would you create a currency which is meant to deflate? In most cases, deflation is worse than inflation.

Wow, this really makes me want to start leaving briefcases and bags around the areas with these PSAs broadcasting. I'll also make sure to leave either a note or a copy of 1984 in the cases.

Screw it, just create a whole new general transportation system. Outfit some capsules with oxygen systems and transport people (who are shorter that 6 1/2 feet). It'd be a hell of a ride.

I've always been interested in robotics, but I've never actually built one, so an Arduino, servos, and some sensors are at the top of my list. I really want to build an autonomous quadcopter.
