I wonder - if you run current through these when they're covered with snow, will they heat up and melt it away?

Illegal hotels / full-time Airbnbs are going to be problems. However, given that X% of homeowners are out of town Y% of the time, it's a waste of resources to leave X*Y% of residences empty on any given day. I like to travel. I li

I have one of these in Chicago. It is fucking brilliant. The 20 mile range with 2 people is more than enough for tooling around all day. I bought an extra $70 charger that I keep on the bike so I can charge a bit if needed. It gets a full c

A prion that infected people rapidly, through saliva-to-blood contact, and had similar symptoms to rabies without the rapid death would be very similar to traditional zombie lore. The protein would probably also have to effect the olfactory

Or just take a smaller cut and spread the winnings thinner so that the expected value is closer to the actual spending. Change it so that they have to be scratched to win (instead of buying and scanning), or institute other limiting factors

Just use a damn credit card so that you have the option to contest the charge. Visa/Mastercard/Amex don't fuck around with this shit.

When I was in Iceland I was told it's a kind of food supply insurance plan. Both Iceland and Japan are small, and in the even of a war, blockade, or other trade limitations access to whale meat is necessary. The skills required to succ

Productivity gains mainly happen when there is a profit motive to create them. What incentive is there to create self scanning machines if you can't sell them for a profit? Why would a grocery store buy them if they don't gain fro

I think it's absurd that there are millions of kitchens in NYC. There is a project in my old town - Syracuse - that I think has a lot of benefits: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/11/

I think you're underestimate the number of jobs that can be done with extremely little cognitive skill, and over-estimating the speed with which technology will make them go away. I agree on the education front, but disagree that there

Organ delivery might be a good place to test initial drone delivery. It's very high value with very few, well-defined pick-up and delivery points.

If the asteroid has any water, station keeping won't require external fuel. If it doesn't, mass drivers could be used to toss chunks of the asteroid off and correct for instability (though that might create space debris if the vel

Wrap it and unwrap it multiple times per day. Simply having two and keeping one at the office and one at home will 4X the lifespan of your charger, since you aren't wrapping it daily. I also Sugru mine like this on both ends of the cab

Preferential treatment of seemingly busy employees is not limited to high-octane firms. I worked for an electric utility for a few years as an analyst, and it didn't matter that I finished my job in two hours per day. I can't leav

Clothes and shoes have a high turnover (fashion) and multiple variants per SKU. I can see a manufacturer not providing perfect or accurate weights for every shoe size for every style.

Also you wouldn't be able to detect an unlicensed car (someone who had disabled their RFID) casually, which would make it way easier to operate an unlicensed car. I suppose fake plates would do the same currently though.

In all seriousness though, I'm fairly certain that a repurposed cruise ship turned luxury condo building anchored off the coast with a free, regular speed boat shuttle could be a profitable business given the bonkers prices in SF prope
