I like giving these "services" a one off email address from my own catchall and then check in on it months later to see how they attempted to monetize the data. Would probably make an interesting time series info-graphic.

Even a low tech photo record weeds out a lot of fraud. Oh you aren't returning a thing that resembles the photo that was shipped to you? This won't eliminate fraud, but it will move the bar in a non trivial way. Combine this with

I fully expect to get another 5 years out of this set. As long as we get back to float the next day, capacity diminishing doesn't really matter for a house. That's more a function of sizing the input and output to the system than

No they don't. Case in point, I live off grid with a 24v system composed of 2v lead acid marine batteries. They were 2 years old when I got them and have put them through over 1000 days of use since. Mind you, I don't discharge th

This used to be quite common. In Ireland for example back in the 1970s about 30% of the population had no natural teeth whatsoever. It used to be a common thing for young women to have all their teeth pulled and replaced with dentures befor

Didn't we hear this with mips, sparc, ppc, transmeta and every other cpu architecture of the moment? Yes, ARM has a place, but it's not going to displace x86. What will slowly displace x86 is the transition to post-pc devices. But these wil

I was just in Singapore for 2 weeks. The streets aren't all that clean. Cleaner than San Francisco or NYC yes... but there is litter in the mornings and evenings and this was even in the highly tourist areas downtown by the Marina Bay. (Awe
