Heh, I think everyone with a good imagination has at least lazily considered being a prepper...

The pods weigh something like 0.0X% as much as a train, so stopping them may in fact be far easier due to their tiny mass, regardless of their crazy velocity.

London -> Sydney takes 22 hours and requires at least one stop. Sub-ortibals will take ~3 hours, saving what amounts to an entire waking day. For an executive making just $10M per year, that's $27k worth of time. Add the cost of F

This is awesome and I like it. Thanks :)

Poke through the existing campaigns and I think you'll find even the newer, smaller audiences are generating meaningful income for the artists. Their model does a few things extremely well. It more-or-less removes the pain of paying fo

Backup the species before deleting them in case there is an unforeseen dependency? Pretty clever failsafe, actually!

Slightly average body temperature, probably. I tend to get bitten a lot more than the people around me and run about half a degree above the 98.6 average normally. Good news is - the more you get bit, the less time the itch lasts for as you

Totally different problem, and not at all related. People prefer to go to the bathroom outside in the parts of India with the worst sanitation. It's not about money.

I think if they produced evidence that some other person had purported to sell them the art the guy would be much less warranted, but they haven't so it's likely that didn't happen.

Wouldn't it be standard policy to, say, use Google's reverse image search to see who owns the image? I just did and it's pretty damn clearly his. Not bothering to check a two-second site with 99% results sounds pretty willful

I bet someone clever could hack together a quick script that makes a laptop screen dim instantly when you look away, provided your face is in the field of view of the builtin camera...

I think that they have the potential to dramatically change the app environment and allow for some very interesting interactions, but I agree that they will primarily be an extension of the iPhone. What that means for Apple's bottom li

Fair, but I think if Uber truly does remove the regulatory hurdle, than their high-overhead model is not necessarily going to flourish, unless they 'kick the ladder out from behind them' with Uber-specific (ha!) regulatory excepti

Let's say you require each user to use a valid credit card that matches their name and billing address to verify their unique identity. Then you implement the same star rating system as Uber for both drivers and riders. Then you let dr

Yes but the RDA is 600 IU. That's remarkably effective at preventing rickets, but not optimal. 5,000 IU seems to be closer to optimal, and well below the toxicity levels. You know, so I've read... Edit: Good Job Team!

Just do it. We pay $65 a week to have our place cleaned by a Polish woman and she does a great job. She's super nice, does a great job, and is reliable. We have a 2-bed 2-bath, and it takes her round about two hours. So HomeJoy is diap

Scale and perks will drive that 5% up, I imagine. Sure, Joe Average can buy a Tesla Model A (for automatic, obviously) and have it operate as a AI-Uber Driver, but Uber can buy a fleet of thousands, allowing them better pricing, better acce

Interesting. I wonder if total recurring revenue is a better pricing gauge for something like this? What's your product?

In Chicago the Divvy bike redistribution is horrible. It's not even a hard problem. Need to move bikes into the Loop at 5PM? Give people a free day pass in the future for moving a bike to a high-demand area.

Woo! More logistics techies for me to meet in my new city! I just emailed you guys.

I never thought of it that way. It's clearly better to be a dog that gets left at home 8-10 hours on workdays than a dog that sits in a raised crate above it's own shit 23.5 hours per day.

So stupid. Roko's Basilisk and Roko's Infinite Blowjob Machine are equally probable. When I was a kid I watched a movie about a monster that came up from the basement when the kids in the house accidentally said an ancient Indian

I bet you could design a lighted tunnel that moths from the street would happily follow straight into the chicken coop! There might need to be some trickery involved, as I think tend to fly around the light and not directly at it.

Hey Bemmu! Congrats man. I have a couple ideas: -CandyGerman.com appears to be dynamically determining the country of visitors by IP and including it in their free-shipping banner. At least they seem to have correctly guessed I am in Thaila

Insurance maybe? I pay DogVacay 15% because they cover the crazy shit that usually doesn't happen, and then I can relax. Dog sitter got in a car accident? DogVacay sends someone to pick up the dogs and bring them to another place. That
