Why not mount the camera higher so you see further? Maybe it feels confusing when the angle is not right?

I wonder if someone will sell a product that takes control of hovering drones and lands them without breaking them.

I did web and app development. Years of PHP + MySql + CSS + JavaScript. At some point it felt overwhelming to choose a PHP framework and I switched to ActionScript, which I enjoyed a lot. I worked in a startup, got paid well, but noticed t

If life feels awful, what makes you continue on the same path? I was feeling like that a few years ago. I stopped, thought about what was wrong, and took a different path. Now I'm making much less money, I'm not working in things

"many people hate their jobs, but they are considerably more miserable doing nothing" Why assume we can either work or do nothing? Of course doing nothing sucks! What about doing something instead? Could the problem be that most p

From the name, I used to think that anesthesiologists just "put people to sleep" or stopped patient's pain. My view is now different. Their job (for what I'm told) is also to keep people alive and stable. They administer

That unit system might allow comparing black holes to other black holes. But our sun does not have the same density as a black hole, or? The nature article [1] does not compare it to the size of our sun, but to its mass. [1] http:/&#x

In this thread it looks like there are only two options: smart TV and dumb TV. But there's a third one: no TV. It has it's own set of advantages.

Can you really get out of it? I closed my account years ago. Use NoScript, Disconnect, uBlock. But my profile is probably still there. It's been mentioned that they keep profiles of people who don't have an account. I can imagine

You're filling out a few fields with fake data, but filling thousands of "fields" daily, for real. Those come from your behaviour: what sites you visit, when, with what frequency, what do you click, what do you install, who a

I and most of my friends and family in Spain have at some point spent hours trying to solve problems with our Telefónica phone and internet connections. Popularly it's known as Timofónica (Scam-ofonica). When I hear the company's

This discussion so far contains: 52 times "terror", 11 times "safe", 5 times "fear". I'm tired of those words. Having no TV and reading no news I don't see any connection between those words and the w

Your comment made me remember a documentary titled "The Trouble with Experts" which I found interesting. It can be found in youtube atm.

I think it's a poor comparison. You need water to stay alive and to not stink. Electricity is easier to avoid, but why do that? Electricity and running water don't disturb me with notifications, are not as addictive as social netw

Our connections and cpus get faster, our memories and hard drives larger, but then we write slower and bigger software to compensate. It reminds me of Newton's third law: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

"you wouldn't accept lag offline, so why do it online? get up to 1000 Mbit/s fiber today." I find this contradicting. They talk about lag, but offer bandwidth. What about latency? Shouldn't they talk about milliseco

Why not limit the amount of messages people can send per day? 3 for instance? Wouldn't that make you think before sending a message? Maybe users could choose to only receive messages from people who send less than N messages per day. I

Even if data was continuously sent, you could still analyze the data by protocol. You can find out who sends e-mails to who, who our contacts are in Twitter, Facebook, Skype, how often we exchange data with them... One could build an anonym

In that case one could create an extension that creates a PGP keypair _for the recipient_, attaches encrypted crap to the e-mail, and deletes the private key. Is that what you mean? The idea is to add by default an encrypted message to all

I wonder if I could get my account really deleted and my data put offline by breaking the terms [1] (posting ads and logos or sharing my password for example). I'm afraid it would not work, though. Probably they delete the recent conte
