I just completed a project using wS2811 lights using the FastLED library of functions. The library was built for effectively the same reason, that the base functions for converting between different colour sets were inefficient. I'm cu

I support this idea. I've been based in Toronto and Montréal and the cost of living in the latter is usually a factor of two less expensive. As k3fernan mentioned, the software buzz in the area focuses around gaming, AI, and research,

I'm not sure if the professional designation changes country to country, but here in Canada an ophthalmologist would not be the person to give a comprehensive eye exam. That would be an optometrist. (source: optometrist parent)

A good way to induce misdirection, no?

I like the question posed at the end of the article: should humans interpret this as a natural expansion or an invasive species. It's hard to tell, that's for sure.

My family found an estranged relative from a one off affair in another country through Ancestry's "probably related" tool. It was an incredible experience.

While it's interesting to hear, I find it more than a little annoying no cause is cited. It leaves the idea open to speculation by news and it looks to be cynical.

Exactly. The generations don't HAVE to have different dimensions. There's no worldwide metro standard across all dimensions leading to "common" models, every subway system requires custom made. Of course they can work th

If one is HIV positive it would probably be a draw of the app to find only others who are also afflicted. Turning it off might result in some illegal decisions.

We're all throwing darts in the dark here with regards to the resource they gave the problem and its difficulty. I think the real takeaway is just that it could be something other than just stupidity through and through.

It's been public since at most 2012, nevertheless for a country of their size -I agree- their intelligence organizations are incredibly impressive.

The article headline is practically fake news. The article isn't very clear on it either. It's not someone's DNA that changes, that would be astounding if all the trillions of cells in your body underwent the same genetic mut

I have to agree. It's not "a slap on the wrist" at all. A criminal record is a massive hurdle to overcome in finding work or keeping standing with any professional association. Not to mention the damage to reputation, persona

I'm not a fan of the convservatives but it's still unfair to place the blame of a bad choice of client on a political party. A lot of non-partisans were involved in getting the project running.

Microwave towers are a godsend for people like my folks. They live a 5 minute drive from a city of 40,000 but yet cannot get even DSL. Microwave towers have allowed them to get 10mbps conenction with no bandwidth cap, and they were happy to

Man what a great project, I've been only lightly following it for the last year or so, but it gets me excited. I think I could see myself choosing this as a first open source project to commit to. Thinking now, I would love to see Dolp

I got started on Soylent and Joylent while depressed and it kept me (more than I would be) healthy while I went along. I eventually turned back to cooking when I was out of depression and craved varied, richer taste and more control over th

The costs of tunneling are like FAR more expensive than most think. Breaking, excavating, and supporting rock is slow, time and cost heavy, and precarious work. While this is an interesting concept, unless there are serious advances in rock

What the article neglects to mention is that there are sea mining operations which have been operating for decades now (for the most vivid example see diamonds in Namibia). What sets this apart is the depth at which they're mining and
