This frustrates me to no end. I don't mind voting with my wallet and paying for more expensive things if they are better and built to last longer. However it seems a lot of things these days are just more expensive to be fashionable, t

Cached version here: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https:/... Seems like a super spammy page lacking in solid content, not sure how this made the front page here.

As someone who had pondered becoming a part time landlord as an investment, this is a really interesting read.

I had the same thing. Stayed at a really disgustingly dirty place. No toilet paper, no bed sheets, no curtains on the windows. Gave it a bad review and had the host rip me apart about it. "What the fuck did you expect? I would feed you

It makes sense. I install ublock on my parents computers, because without ads to send them off course when they are browsing, they are much less likely to get malware. And it works. I've often wondered how they ended up with so much ma

Part of me wonders if this is just some experienced game dev working on a boring porting project that decided to have a little fun and see how he could cause issues with emulation, not some large sanctioned measure to defeat emulation softw

Shorting batteries is also never a great idea, but supercaps are more dangerous because of their low internal resistance. This video is a good demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoWMF3VkI6U I was working on a co

I can get behind the philosophy of buying more expensive high quality goods, the only problem is that its very hard to find them. Many brands have decided to sell cheap goods for a large pricetag as status symbols, or have caved to pressure

Does anyone have any information on what sort of teams they are moving? The image in the article references Watson, but I would be willing to bet teams working on that sort of research are staying in the US. I would bet its the sort of &quo

I think reproducibility is one of the biggest challenges to face science in our time. Luckily we have the tools we need to solve the problem already. Of corse paper journals don't want to waste space and reproducing results, but no suc

I totally agree with the Dad comment here. Both my Mother and Father are hugely into Facebook, but don't understand twitter. They have both signed up for accounts, but haven't really used them, because they don't get it. To b

They are quite large, but in the particular application weight and volume are not a huge concern. All sitting side by side they are about 20 meters long, 3 meters high, and a meter deep. Probably weighs on the order of 15 tonnes.

Think of a sinusoidal demand for energy, with a period of a few tens of seconds. By charging when demand is low and discharging when demand is high, peak load is lowered.

I've spent the last couple years working on a very interesting project using ultra-capacitors for energy storage. We are storing 33kWh of energy in ultra capacitors, charging and discharging with a very short period (seconds) for peak-

I agree. That is really what I was wondering. Will he be able to see any money from this.

Its not a slight fezz-up really though. They reversed positive and negative on the power connections. That is a very basic mistake and one that often at least blows a fuse, if not worse.

I wonder if he will be able to recover any of his losses from this company? I know he is reviewing these cables, so hes taking a certain amount of risk, but imagine if someone bought this cable for their new device. I would be pretty pissed

I remember hearing somewhere, perhaps on a tour of the Hoover Dam that the concrete is very good for the time because although the ideal chemical properties of concrete were not well understood at the time, the local aggregates used were re

They claim to be ride sharing apps so that they are not blatantly breaking laws that protect taxi monopolies. Its a backdoor they have been using to try to open up this industry.

I wonder if this is an operating system, or what a laymen would potentially call an operating system, maybe some sort of full screen application. I would guess the latter.

I've never thought about the job market like this before, but it makes a lot of sense, and it is a good argument for the dreaded U word. I've always personally always had ambivalent feelings towards unions, even when I was represe

That is fascinating, thanks for sharing. I had no idea the NYC subway was being run by a 100 year old electro-mechanical system.

I'd love to hear stores if anyone here worked at Pandora during these times. I find it somewhat hard to believe that 50 people stuck around not getting paid for two years and didn't demand any equity or just walk out.
