I have two ideas for automatic machines in hospitals. One is hand sanitizer dispensers that counts people entering rooms and beeps until all have used the machine, or even until all people already in the room have used it. It's notorio

Is it really a good idea to move more water vapor, a potent greenhouse gas, significantly higher up in the atmosphere?

They do and they did? But it's primarily a manual process. There are automated warning systems such as ACAS and separation warnings, but I don't think it would be possible to program something that could understand what's goi

Actually in most countries there is a lot of laws for landlords and tenants that regulates who is in the possession. A landlord can not just hand out keys to anyone.

The main reason is that computers aren't very smart although I know that even some developers think that. Actually they can autoland but not everywhere and then you still need to tell them where, basically tune them in on the right gli

It's even weirder since we can give them phones, or watches with integrated phones and gps-trackers and what not. When I was 12 I yelled a friends name while walking out the door, and was expected to be back by dinner. If I wasn't

Here's an anecdote: My five year old daughter got a new classmate in kindergarten that didn't speak our language but knew a little English. In some way my daughter must have learned just enough words and sentences to be able to co

Probably mostly from clothes and possibly from ropes, but I'm just guessing that plastic microbeads haven't been around that long. It seems as such a fantastically stupid idea.

Here are some topics that have actively not been a topic for political discussions for at least the last 15 years: The immigration, the housing bubble, the failed city planning on all scales, the inefficient patchwork of regional authorit

Some hypnotized people think that a Hyperloop in tunnel under the Baltic sea between Stockholm and Helsinki is a good idea - two sparsely populated capital cities of two small countries. http://nordic.businessinsider.com/sto

The taxi market differs between countries, but in those markets where the regulations are there to protect the riders and drivers, ie minimum wages, proper tax handling, health insurance, passenger's insurance, etc, Uber is morality w

Yes it's nice to have a proper process manager. Is just that it's obvious that the feature creep tendencies are strong, and a lot of tangential daemons and tools are affected. All in all, I've come to the conclusion that it&#

No one is fired yet. Failed agency directors are traditionally sent to 'the elephant graveyard' ie doing some nonsense work in a government department. A fine has been handed out - the case was handled in a court without any fanfa

I think one of the problems with the font rendering on windows is that most fonts are primarily made on Macs and tweaked until they look all right on using that particular renderer. But doesn't it feel like it's time for "ret

Ah, yes. Actually Poland is the other bad child in EU... The European commission is currently threatening to remove Poland's voting rights due to the changes to the juridical system, but it will not happen as Hungary will veto. I thin

If you are nice and don't threaten to publish, at least without giving them any time to fix it - which for a large back is a couple of months - then I don't think it's a risk at all. What they don't like is the publicity

I wish we could stop the marginalization, but just free education including university, healthcare, etc, isn't enough apparently. It's a similar problem as other marginalized groups - there must be some dynamics in play that keeps

Great then. Do you have any ideas then how to stop the radicalisation of young muslims? I'm less inclined to believe that rational discussions with ISIS warriors and their supporters will lead that far. I live in what used to be one of

Here is a thought. Maybe no formatting characters should be allowed to be saved embedded in source code, and instead presentation filters should handle everything related to formatting, documentation, etc. It might work..

If the police operates the server, I'm pretty sure they would be reluctant to accept new users as it might be illegal. The law in Europe is not as in US and although I'm not certain here, it's generally much more strict in re

I suppose that if you have one administrator in a cell, it's probable that you will get the login credentials after a while. The question is how to put them in a cell to begin with, but I don't think that it requires some super hi

Yes. There is plenty of new development. In many places (banks, insurance) where there are old dogs that haven't learned any me tricks. I'd avoid mainframe development as much as possible,and there is plentiful of wrangling on mai

The main problem is that micro service based architecture is sold as a silver bullet that takes care of all problems. Knowledgeable and experienced people know that there is no free lunch, but not every opiniated voice isn't necessaril

It's probably best to avoid Use Cases, (R)UP, and the associated process and document bloat, but a nice diagrams here and there can really simplify discussions. Class diagrams are more or less useless, and it's mostly requested by
