   I would be happy to have my DNA analyzed by them for whatever price, but I can't do that because I appear to live in a "wrong" country.

   React has enough APIs to do ugly hacks too. That doesn't mean you should use them.

   Training cycle for airline pilots is surprisingly short, less than a year if I'm not mistaken. It's just expensive because of all the gadgets involved.

    I don't buy into this logic. If you are able to intervene (i.e. suddenly take control of a large semi at its full kinetic energy in a life-critical situation), then you need skills of the same complexity as an existing truck driver. If

    I'm without the Flash player for about half a year. The only thing that really doesn't work is Facebook's native video ("YouTube in a Facebook post" works fine). Modern internet has a surprisingly small dependency o

    There is the obvious direct comparison with airline pilots. But it doesn't look like airline pilots became low-paid babysitters. This is still quite a respectable profession.

    Would be great if someone reimplemented it for the web.

    Can you suggest some explanation of the lambda feature in byte code?

    Old console games are great examples of how creativity benefits from constraints.

    So, being a taxi driver is almost twice more dangerous than being a police officer?

    So, any news on that since 2013?

    The URL seems like it has something to do with pranking :)

    Sure you can change the text, but from sales perspective you'd better put more emphasis on "editing" rather than "viewing".

    I upvoted this specifically to see a discussion of whether such small features can/should be productized.

    When it's in the "push heat outside" mode on a hot summer day, there is a significant amount of air to pump, in order to dissipate a kilowatt. I wonder how noisy is the unit in this case.

    So what's was the essence of the trick: did Brazil have some special case of inflation where country was in fact economically healthy, but the people massively underestimated its economical health? Sounds so unreal (maybe that's w

    This is not impossible (I mean commercially), because there are popular models of cars for which conversion kits can be developed, so that the engineering cost per unit is reduced.

    One of the main reasons why we consider electric vehicles to be so cool is their low center of gravity, thanks to the batteries being located near the very bottom (good to have them there, and also batteries are better not to be damaged in

    Let me quote "Mysteries of Modern Physics: Time": "Energy is conserved, but it can change forms. If you have energy in a low-entropy form, you can do useful work with it. You can lift something up, drive a car, or fly an airp

    Even in summer there is hot water to be heated.

    During summer it will dump heat outside through the wall. That's why the device requires to be installed on an external wall. That's actually quite smart, if they can implement the actual mechanism inexpensively and reliably.
