Not much context here with the single slide. How do you know its GSM? I would guess that they are accessing the inflight wifi, getting mac addresses, then xrefing that to known bad guy cellphones wifi mac addresses. I'm thinking there

But for $250 you only get one Nest. Thus, to have an the Nest app control multiple Nests (nestii?) you'd have to shell out $250 for each.

I'll take you up on that sometime soon hopefully. I'm a bit far from the bay area atm. What is the data source?

Interesting. Riddle me this: http://flightsphere.com/flight-time/from/atlanta/to/chicago It says United has 6 flights per week from Atlanta to Chicago. They have 6 or 7 per day in reality. How are airpo

As I think of the technology changes (hw & sw) in my recent experience, I struggle to think how my personal banking (yes, business banking & financial services is a nightmare) experience need to be disrupted. Its a real question, n

There is no way a car with only the ability to power the rear wheels can compare to an AWD drivetrain. Even with the ability to pulse/modulate the brakes and keep the car from spinning, it will only prevent sliding off a cliff by takin

It is a great idea - it reduces one of the hardest things in produce sales - the farm to table transportation. A few points: Author shows a picture of a 25-day old bibb lettuce plant under this text (not caption): "The seedlings stay i

This is where tactical regulations need created and applied. The ultralight world operates in loose regulations and has generally worked well with the airspace system - basically keeping them out of controlled airspace, and having them ope

Completely agree. I posted nearly the same reply to the other "you gotta use OSM!" thread a few weeks ago. Completely unusable as a replacement to apple or google maps, for me. Might be OK for looking for roads, like, uh, a street

Something isn't right. They ask for the 2 digits before the last 4, and then let him guess the first two. I'm really interested to see godaddy's response to this...I'm sure paypal records their interactions, I would imag

It is not negativity, it is the real world. The author put up his wares and someone reviewed it and shared his thoughts. Hopefully, maybe, someone will come along and say "hey I checked in a fix for it!".

Back up, but is anyone else's unread email count fluctuating? I have about 160 (constant #... sad.. I know), but with every third or fifth page refresh it is changing - 191, 160, 380.

Do they have anything else other than the thermostat and smoke detector?

by mikegreen 13y ago
$3.2b makes me think there has to be some awesome technology that they own or pipeline, as I can't get excited about the thermostat. It is a great idea, and played with one a bit, but it isn't solving any large HVAC issues - the

I used a FLIR i7 this week to find a whole section of wall that had no insulation in it. By feel, it felt colder, but damn if the wall was 55f most places but nearly 35f where there was no insulation. It would have taken me hours to run my

The i7, one of the lower priced units is around $2k, so if it can do the same thing (appears to be the same resolution) it is a win.

by mikegreen 13y ago
Roughly - Expect someone making $100k in the SFO area (high state and taxes compared to many parts of the country) to pay about 20-25% in a few federal taxes, and 8-10% in state taxes. So the take home pay would be around $65k-$72k, before

I had an idea (that quickly faded once the last elections were over, and I try not to think about the upcoming hell of another) to try to get a candidate into office based on a few simply premises: Your elected official will vote the way th

I disagree. I worked with plenty of AF Col's in the 5-sided-puzzle-palace that managed offices with 15-30 folks. They worked alongside a GS-13 to GS-15 types.

I was going to say this kinda reads like an advertisement for your product. But, after rereading, it is more advertisement than kinda advertisement :-)

I am skeptical of how real this is... If this really happens this often, wouldn't we be seeing reports of this all the time? "They mentioned that they do this about 100 times a week."

Because the mine in the story we're discussing closed in 1990. I am aware there are still active mines, complete with miners, all over the world.

by mikegreen 13y ago
Probably. But mining had huge risks. The cave collapses. The air you breathe was horribly toxic. You traded life expectancy for more money. I imagine you did a fair amount of harder labor and walked more than an Amazon warehouse. And th

We've gotten to a point where those who read this article will say sweatshop labor is OK because we want our 2-day free shipping. Then, we say it isn't OK because they make minimum-wage, have to walk 15 miles a day, and work un

The challenge is if you encrypt every email, you're basically using your own email server and service. The gov't isn't decrypting your HTTPS gmail traffic - it is going to Google, saying "hey, give me msy's emails

I would not use that for blanket decision making. The technology, just like much of IBM's entity relationship/NORA stuff that you can download via the IBM customer portal, is mostly declassified stuff that has applicability to fr
