What if your job is in Manhattan where that means you are making negative income vs. your rent? And a good meal is ten times more than a beef soup shop in Taiwan? Or spending 2 hours every morning commuting into the city and back out on a b

Too bad it is read-only. :( TechCrunch Disrupt is coming up next month and I would have loved writing an Uber client for Google Glass. Having the user login on a desktop or mobile and then using their oauth credentials on a companion Glass

Doesn't G+ do that? And it's already on my phone and browser...not really interested in trying another implementation. Good luck!

What does SpaceX do as a business? Sell a few super expensive products per year. The number of governments and companies that can afford their product will never be large, ever. What does WhatsApp do? It hooks millions of consumers on freem

I had an ex-wife who helped move rich Chinese families to the US. She said their biggest concern was simply that you only get rich in China if you have a friend in the government and if you lose that friend or that friend loses power in the

Garbage in, garbage out. The system probably didn't have the lorem ipsum placeholder text in its dictionary for all languages, so just mapped to whatever its algorithms could guess. Since there is no right guess, it's pretty rando

I wish them the best of luck, but I don't really buy their claim that a flight they are publicly listing and charging a fee for is private cost sharing.

Worked good...I'm amazed it hasn't been crashed from being top on Hacker News Oo It mentioned queueing work and things like that, must be impressively well written to not just try every request at once and hose itself.

The comments mention the developers wrote it in x86 assembly, but that it was later converted to C automatically, so maybe it lost any comments it had at that point. Other commenters pointed out it was just a stripped down version of a Maxi

They say we can't get smaller than an atom, but electrons are smaller than an atom, and we don't even have to use just the charge but can also use properties like spin and momentum to get more values out of them. I.e. spintronics.

Seems kind of annoying and inefficient to me. If I took someone out on a date and started talking about tumors I'd rather they say to talk about something else than just be polite like he did. Then I could integrate the suggestion and

I agree with his general point that those notifications are just there to sell ads to page owners, not help the page owner. That said, I don't think his allegation that the stats are fake is likely to be true. He names one stat that do

They say the technology is just for show rooms and stores anyway, so I guess if they are buying the projectors and everything else, arranging a white piece of furniture isn't much more difficult. It isn't like people buy the item

Makes sense to me. We have scan sheets and forms with empty bubbles and boxes meaning, "not this one," and we put a check mark, X, or other mark in them to indicate our selection.

What's really funny is the AirBnb hosts often will not let you stay 30 days, but are fine with it if you have a day missing, then book another thirty. So the hosts understand and fight really hard to prevent anyone from possibly being
