I tried a Skully Helmets prototype a while back and they had an in-helmet display. Also the capability to show you a wide degree of vision squeezed together so you could monitor around you: http://www.skullysystems.com/

Not certain diet anecdotes of a hard core, super light cyclist are relevant to most people (who maybe walk a couple times a month). Maybe to other people who exercise hours a day? I don't think the article is written very well since it

Considering all the media coverage listed at the end, I'd say the copper foam was an effective marketing gimmick, enough to have actually funded the project were they not frozen. After that they could have run with the money or tried t

I never really understood why the US has quotas intentionally preventing students who are skilled enough from getting education here.

Kind of sad the kick starter for some similar technology was closed recently. Would have been exciting to see if it worked out.

It's already a kind of well known concept in SciFi to bounce the photon back and forth a lot, getting a little hit of momentum each time (and draining its energy, thus changing its wavelength). Keeping the reflecting pair on the rocket

It's pretty common to take boat tours and outings in SF, honestly. There's even a yearly cruise for game devs: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-pirates-of-silicon-valley-c... It wasn't even tough to get

It's not a breakthrough in science at all, honestly. It is already well known that you can propel something just by generating photons (generally using nuclear power to heat an element, just like a light bulb). Microwaves are just a di

Yeah, I had to read a lot of slides wondering why it was repeating the same thing over and over before I realized he was trying to beat a ticket. It definitely isn't a general purpose tech primer like the new title makes it sound, it&#

The 5% number seems a little strange to me. The post also said there are 1% more Stellars every year. So that is the same as the ruling central organization giving itself infinite money. I guess the 5% is kind of vanity metric to make peopl

Pretty strange how Stellar is paying people to sign up with Facebook. Facebook is very centralized. These modern currencies are very decentralized. I don't mind myself, but it seems like paying someone to sign up with the enemy...

I'm not really a fan of having a second source of truth compared to in depth material already on php.net. The two will invariably start to disagree and php.net is much, much better than any spec or documentation I have ever read. Using

They already pretty much shove movies and books in your face when you want apps now, so sponsored app results aren't really any different than what they have already done to the app store. In fact they might actually be more what the u

I'm US, and voted the complaints up because I found them both funny and useful - pointing out a flaw that makes it tougher to use for many people.

I think there is a good argument for diversity in tech. This article is really, really, bad however. Look at one number they mention: > Men make up 62% to 70% of the staffs of Twitter, Google, Facebook, Yahoo and LinkedIn, while whites a

The RadiusNetworks library for Android was very good, I used it before at some hackathons on Google Glass and it worked great. They had a free version that was great and a pay version with extra features like conserving battery use. There i

We do have a lot of cubes. Juice boxes. Cereal boxes. Wine boxes. Cylinders are pretty much only used when you need to fake larger capacity for consumer preference (cardboard nut containers in super markets vs. plastic cubes of them at Cost

doesn't seem that strange to me. in the old SOAP days it was easier to run everything through a set of filters and just have what server code specified by a field. in this case it is pretty clear they sped up requests by returning some

Zip car is the same way. They have a picture of the vehicle, but it isn't the right color, just some generic picture.

IBM makes its money on the consulting anyway, they don't need to make money off the cloud services. They just need to sell lots of $200+/hr consulting services putting people on them.

Pretty funny wish fulfillment where someone forces their own views on others. I fully support vaccination, but don't support this.

I kind of liked Foursquare. I don't like the looks of Swarm. And I'm kind of pissed they bug me constantly to install it. I guess they want to kick out the old Foursquare users and make it into a Yelp competitor or something. Have
