Humans put out 40 billion tons of CO2 every year. Offsetting all of this would require 1 trillion gallons of water which sounds like a lot but is only 1 cubic mile of water. It doesn't say how fresh the water needs to be but if salt wa

If its not iMessage on someones screen, I see Facebook Messenger get a lot of use in college. I don't see people using WhatsApp that much unless they are texting international or have a dirt cheap/beater phone which makes me think

I don't see Apple ever opening up iMessage for any device other than their own. iMessage has some neat features but nothing that is totally unique from things like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, PushBullet, etc. Apple isn't making

Formal verification of service level agreements and other contracts would be a pretty cool machine learning project.

Seems like Waze needs to authenticate devices better on their network. Don't allow anonymous users access to things like other users' data. Force people to have an account if they want the social media aspects. Those can obviously

It's too big to be considered a tablet and its definitely not a laptop. It is definitely meant to go on a desk. I can't imagine trying to use a small LCD TV in my lap the same way I can use a tablet or laptop.

Join a startup doing their vision of the next big thing that requires actual tech development and not just combining current tech together into a simple product. Think DeepMind, not SnapChat.

There are other programs out there to support the homeless and single parents needing financial aid for their kids. A high school kid making money regardless of his family's wealth is making money as a supplement to what the parents or

If a power user needs to do all of these things, chances are they aren't going to even think of trying to do this all on a tablet ala iPad. People use tablets to do simple tasks (check email, browse web, basic photo/doc editing, e

In Northern Virginia during weekday mornings, I-66 into Washington DC is HOV-2 only within the beltway. You can also take the Orange line on the Metro which follows 66. They are thinking about making it HOV-3 soon. If you don't carpool

It's a gig band. They play bars and clubs for whatever money they can get from cover charges. Limiting the number of places that can book you is dumb. Plus, its not like they have to book everyone that requests them.

I was about to fork this for KDE but then realized it strictly uses EU satelite images, hence EU METSAT. The US pictures aren't ideal.

Scientific advancement is great and I support it but there's a point where you need to spend money on other endeavors as well. $100M may not seem like much in the big picture but where is this money being diverted from? Cancer research

Increasing admission means they need more professors. Assuming an elite university has the best professors around, any addition ones are going to be of lesser quality. Now the school is putting out worse students because their professors ar

They promote freedom but specifically forbid the use of Windows. Not everyone has the choice to not use Windows at certain points in the day, VMs aren't perfect. Forbidding the bare-metal usage of Windows is ridiculous.

I had a summer job at a help desk once. Pretty much the only career progression for those guys on the phone were moving up to being the manager of them and still taking some phone calls when the lines were swamped. After that, there wasn&#x

I have no clue how popular it was. I do know that my friends and I used it around once or twice a week during the school year, more during the summer. This was also during the time where Netflix online selection really wasn't great so

Nope, not on my latest Android 5.1.1. The Play Store app allows you to block apps from being installed based on the maturity rating and to require a password for purchases. No where does it have an option to require a password for all insta

I do like your idea of feeding null data to the app however I think blacklisting permissions would be better than having to whitelist everything. When I install an app on my phone (versus from my computer), I typically need the app now. Hav

A personal gyrocopter-like flying car would definitely be a luxury vehicle. Flying is still pretty expensive compared to just rolling on the ground. Only the wealthy would be able to afford such quick, direct travel. But then again, I see t

Or just have an option in the app store where the password needs to be entered whenever an app attempting installation or attempting an update that requires new permissions. You could give a device to a kid and not have to worry about them

Only low power consumption in the sense that you get to run what you want because the chip is fully dedicated to a task. A microcontroller could draw less power doing the same task.

He's right in the sense that an FPGA will use more power than a dedicated chip. The logic elements are fairly large when compared to the ones in an Intel CPU for example. FPGAs are good for when you know you will need to change a desig
