For the US, you probably want to look into the US Supreme Court case Walling v. Portland Terminal. Generally speaking (again, IANAL), it sounds like the exemptions have to do with ensuring it's an educational experience that benefits

Although there's no serious enforcement, having those three days be uncompensated has certain legal requirements under labor laws in the US and some other jurisdictions. In particular, it may be necessary to define the terminology dur

The article is in the journal Scientific Reports, not Nature. Nature Publishing Group is the publisher of that journal.

Why does anyone need a bigger display on their thermostat? In fact, having a dedicated display at all is only vaguely justifiable, since we all have displays in our pockets, on our walls, etc.

It is common for two people working, even side-by-side, not to view their job the same way. I'm certain we've all experienced that. Your response to the piece, and that of the commenter you cite, is more indicative of your own m

No, it's my opinion that it doesn't add any intellectual content of any kind. You can disagree, of course, but flagging is supposed to be for that purpose, just as you say. You think your opinion is plain as day, but others disa

I'm just going to make it a policy to flag pointless posts like this. They add nothing to the discussion here. This is not "content" by any reasonable definition.

The Gersh is one of those people who is making absolutely no sense about half the time, and the other half he's making perfect sense and everything is suddenly crystal clear. In the former case, it's usually when he's talkin

Thanks for making your corrections as well. Yes, I am in research, and I mostly come here for what's new in Python, learning algorithms, and data analysis. As an aside, it's tough to wade through the "startup land" and

This is incorrect information. (... Like so many biology/chemistry comments I see on HN.) Caffeine is more like an adenine analog, not a cAMP (3'-5' cyclic adenosine monophosphate) analog. It binds adenosine receptors, not p

This may sadly pull some critical primary voters from Sanders, who stands in an ideologically similar area, assuming Lessig picks up any steam at all.

Feedly probably isn't claiming those numbers with any basis in reality. In particular, many people made Feedly accounts in a hurry out of panic when the shutdown was announced. Having used both, I highly doubt users of Reader are still

The infrastructure you'd need for your beacons is the same as Nextbus (i.e. trackers on public transport and a city data feed), but Nextbus requires no distributed/deployed devices. Therefore, rolling out a beacon approach must ha

Why not just a QR code? I've seen some institutions already QR code their campus trees for their own tracking purposes. Info about the tree does not change much over short timescales.

Really reaching here. Nextbus is a web app. Location is in my experience always good enough without a sat lock. You don't need "to spin up GPS" to get your answer.

by lvs 11y ago
But Nextbus already knows what stop you're at using AGPS. What's the point of the beacon? Perhaps you can come up with a use for beacons, but you need to deal with the fact that users don't need or want another intrusive ad

It sounds like just another startup hardware offering with a spotty launch. But I've always been confused about the perceived "embarrassment" of a card not working at the point of a transaction. This seems to be a common ma

Because the i3 was an abortive product in every way. It's hideous, the range is terrible (80 mi), the charge time is impractical (3h on a 220V and 10h on a 110V), and they wanted $45k for it.

I can't imagine what the iPhone has to do with an electric car. The post just refers to a software interface (which all cars now have), a network conncetion, and automatic updates. None of these relies on the powertrain of the car.

The objective content of this article is no better than the one it criticizes. Its claims all boil down to speculation about events for which there is no evidence of any kind.

These aren't fully contradictory results. The paper is referring in serotonin in one brain structure, the amygdala. The article was wrong to cast such a broad stroke.
