For anyone who's interested, I just timed charging. It looks like it would charge from 0-100% in about 30 minutes.

I was under the same impression until somewhat recently. If I'm going to buy a watch, I want it to be a watch first, and "smart" second, and I was convinced that only the Pebble did that. I tried the original Pebble for a whi

Found this link by googling the title: http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/641244/67cddf7b2fddb6e4/ It worked for me.

Let's take the claim "experience is information" to be true (I've yet to find a reasonable definition of "information", so I agree). Jackson's point here is specifically to show that there are at least two

To everyone insisting that the argument is silly: while in this particular case I do disagree with the conclusion, I'd encourage you to pause for a moment before dismissing it. I often find that when I approach philosophical theories w

That's exactly the point - she has all physical information. If you could show that some piece of information fits the definition of "physical information", then it's assumed that Mary has it, and someone defending the k

Picking arbitrary fractions of the total number of students admitted misses the point. My understanding is that it comes down to school policy: those who are offered admission and accept, but have financial need (demonstrated via the FAFSA,

Care to elaborate? I don't quite follow.

+1 for Marty. I'd never used Flux before, but had made some small apps in React and felt pretty comfortable with it. The Marty docs have a particularly good description (with small examples) of what each piece of the Flux model is supp

That sounds plausible to me. Apparently, even things like exhaust from another car in cold weather can interact with the laser in a way such that the car can mistake it for a large object directly in front of the vehicle. Source: tech talk

I came here seriously expecting Sublime to win out. At the time of writing, Vim actually has a narrow lead (267 vs. 239) - and third place, Emacs, has less than half that, with 119. That surprised me quite a bit.

Why do you think of those as negatives of the proposition itself? Those seem like arguments that it perhaps won't be as effective as supporters might hope, but not that the proposition itself is flawed. (I'm actually unsure how I

The only one of those that I think would actually happen is the "low-cost internet access", and that only if the government mandates it like they did with the Comcast and NBC merger. The program that resulted from that, Internet E

In the summer prior to my last year of middle school (~2007), I came up with an idea for a website: a restricted and local social-networking site for young students (my peers, essentially). I spent that summer reading Head First HTML/C

I had the same issue. If I recall correctly, there is a relatively simple solution on the Ubuntu forums somewhere.

Maybe not binding strictly speaking, but we have to keep our word here if we ever expect to be able to get an individual in similar circumstances to be extradited to the US in the future, no?

So people dislike DRM simply because it conflicts with their fantastical dream of an "open web"? And whether the platform it's on claims to be open or not? Just because the standard is there doesn't mean you have to use

You sure about that? That'd be downright idiotic. My school did something similar, but the surveys were anonymous and simply used for aggregate statistics - which sounds infinitely more effective than what this school is doing, anyway.

Pure Dart code isn't realistically intended to be run on user-facing websites for now. At the moment, Dartium is primarily intended for developers.

Because the players can't do anything about it. No matter how much we talk about morals, if, for example, Google were to not engage in the same tax avoidance schemes that all of its competitors do, then it'd be costing itself billions of do

It isn't. To say it is is just silly. "Don't hate the player, hate the game."

Out of curiosity, why do you say that? I ask because I'm planning on going there next year for computer science.

This is an incredibly useful tool. Allows me to take all my dev work with me when all I have is my portable Samsung Chromebook. It's also encouraged me to finally learn how to use Emacs...

I'm actually surprised that location-based reminders aren't already part of Google Now. It seems like a really natural feature given everything else it already does.

I fail to understand why anyone would actually try and have an argument on there. But it's humorous nonetheless. "Who needs movies when you have tuxracer?"
