I wish I knew more about quantum physics. With most science-related articles, I know enough to be able to tell what's journalistic hype and what contains an element of truth. But with anything about quantum physics or quantum computi

When people leave Facebook, where do they go? Is there a different social network that doesn't have these problems?

I wonder if this effect could be made less noticeable by layering & blending the cropped image on the last full-size frame. The centre of the feed would continue to move, but the edges of the image would remain stationary.

If that's a banner ad, it's the most relevant, pleasant, and appropriate banner ad I've ever seen. It's directly related to the search term and is not obnoxious in the least. If all ads were such high quality I'd ha

I am not a physicist, but isn't that already possible, depending on the contents of the volume? I can store all the data about a 1km^3 vacuum containing a single atom at the centre in a volume much smaller than 1km^3.

Keep in mind, this article was written by the same author as "Cold Fusion reactor independently verified"[1]. He seems somewhat obsessed with the idea. [1] http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/156393-cold-fusion

Awesome! We send and receive thousands of SMS messages with twilio every day, hopefully this helps them get better international incoming message support ;)

So really, it would make it im possible to get rid of motion detectors. You could never really be sure that one isn't nearby.

The future's going to come out of a location that's free from the high-rent nonsense that creates a work culture of subordination. I've been toying with the idea of a rural technologist . Sure, if the startup I'm part of goes big, my eq

I remember the first time my mother used Google. She saw the "I'm feeling lucky" button, thought it was an ad for online gambling, and became upset that I was directing her to use such a tool. I really wouldn't miss it if they got rid of it
