Combine the technology with something like http://www.gizmag.com/vuzix-wrap-920ar-augmented-reality-gla... and you could walk down the street and read everything in your own language.

I am not so sure the exported bundle can be run off AWS, are you sure about that? On a side note, doesn't the download bundle task require you to stop the instance? That could be a problem since the task can take quite some time to complete

Wow. Seeing something man-made soar above the earth like that is something else. Being a civilian enterprise like SpaceX just makes it all the cooler.

I have tremendous respect for the abilities of the climbers, they are obviously among the best in the world in several categories of physical prowess, but it still seems that mountain climbing is one of very few disciplines where you can do

PG needs to take a more active role and nuke some of the world news / politics submissions. There's really no justification for having them here.

Actually, when you're a developer trying to sell your own creation, you can easily take rejection personally. Maybe this is why hackers hate sales. This leads me to an idea: What about if a bunch of hacker entrepreneurs got together and agr

Here we go with the amateur legal stuff, but until a more educated comment comes up, as far as I know, it is a question of the drivers being GPL, and coding up against the drivers crosses the threshold.

I was put on probationary status at a company I worked at ostensibly for showing up late, quit the day after. I am a developer and coming in late made little difference as I worked as many, or more, hours as everyone else. At the same time

Refreshing viewpoint. As a woman in this kind of community you it would be difficult to avoid special treatment, for better or worse, and it definitely takes focus away from whatever it is we come here to accomplish.

Another point to remember is that if you tried and failed, you'll know that you did what you could. If you never tried you will always have that "what if?" gnawing at your guts.

I post this every chance I get: America seems to be a third-world nation when it comes to office environments. Here in Denmark (and the rest of Scandinavia seems to be the same) I have never worked in an office without motorized desks that

Here's a simple solution. The referee has the option to, if in doubt, consult someone with a video replay to determine a situation. He already has, and uses, the option to consult the line men, so it is not obvious to me why he shouldn't be

I usually hear it in the form of a denouncement of tools that "make easy things easier and hard things impossible". I think that perfectly describes a bad abstraction layer.

I wonder what makes Toyota feel that car manufacturing in the U.S. is now attractive again? Even though the technology is new and different, you would still think that the economics of mass production remain the same.

I have a motorized sit/stand desk, as is the norm here in Denmark (and Scandinavia in general probably). I have used these for five-six years. I tend to stand around half the time at work, which comes to something like three-four hours on t
