I would like an app that lets me map the dimensions and floor plans of an indoor space. Without really knowing a ton about lidar or the specific implementation of it in this device, I imagine that could be done? The apps that use the camer

Moreover, the price of a things seems less determined by the cost to manufacture + some markup, supply/demand, or even a general sense of value. Store brand vs name brand being a reasonable example. The exact same product with two di

I had a professor from college who recently passed away. He was an unconventional teacher. High energy and sort of rambled on about the subject, his experience, and how non-tech folks experienced and reacted to tech. His stream of conscio

Rural WV here. My internet in July of 2019 was upgraded from 8/2 to 25/5. Happy days are here at last. No evidence of it, but I think the FCC definition of broadband changing had a lot to do with it.

Just finished it a week or two ago after learning about it from the podcast "50 things that made the modern economy". I agree it's a little dry, but it is easy to listen to while doing other things. Good stuff, I recommend i

If CCG's like Magic: The Gathering is not gambling then I cannot fathom how loot boxes are. With loot boxes you cannot cash out. That changes the dynamic completely, in my opinion. When one gambles you put in a small amount of money in

The real kick in the beans from MS is the new UI lacks anything beyond basic functionality in the new UI. For example, Win10 (1803) Mouse settings you can modify: Left/Right handed, Scroll Wheel lines, Scroll inactive windows when yo

My (totally uneducated) guess is, in the early formation of a solar system the material is hot and volatile it is all moving around a lot. There are a lot of large / medium sized bodies moving around they are running into each other, j

I hate it when I accidentally write some code to crawl email accounts for data and accidentally upload that data. Accidentally deploy that code to production, hide the opt-out button, and forget to post a disclaimer. Gosh darn it! I'

Designing for what a single idiot wants is how you get a Homer Simpson car. My desire for a headphone jack and an SD card support is hardly going to give the phone three horns.

This is the important point. CD's are not less popular because Sony or Toyota decided to stop supporting them - consumers stopped using them. This headphone thing is putting the cart before the horse. My wired headphones always work.

I wonder how close this process is to hydraulic fracturing to extract fossil fuels. Is the volume of liquid pumped into the ground similar? I imagine geothermal is pumping more and deeper to get to where the earth is warmer, but I am not su

I signed up for NYT and canceled the next day. After becoming a paying customer they do not remove the ads from apps, pop ups on the website, etc etc. I was annoyed so I decided to cancel. The cancellation process was also quite annoying.

David Sedaris is great. If you have not read it, I would suggest you pick up "Me Talk Pretty One Day". I prefer the audio book because David is the reader. If you only have time for a little bit, check out 6 To 8 Black Men - htt

It is a compelling story. As for why the public was ignorant to the danger; radiation was only discovered in 1895 (x-rays). First injuries the following year from x-ray exposure. First death in 1904. I am no expert, so I can only speculate.

The cases per year are going down and the average age of diagnosis is 69. So you are right in that most of this is legacy. But we know now and knew then that it was dangerous. Much like the radium girls in the early 1900's - where the

Having just lost a father-in-law to mesothelioma (June 2018), this makes me incredibly sad. I understand this is not an actual rule change and blah blah blah. 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year. What a slow and horrific
