You may want to check out this TED talk and the corresponding site. I think its basically what you are talking about. - http://www.ted.com/talks/marcin_jakubowski?language=en - http://opensourceecology.org&#

I'm guessing you left the average monthly electric bill slider at the $125/month position. You'd have to adjust the to what it actually is for City Hall, which I'd think is a lot more than $125/month.

True, but isn't the whole point of an alarm system to draw attention to the thieves? If a thief can bypass the alarm system or other security measures, it may not look they are stealing the car. This gives them a significant amount of

Wouldn't it be cheaper to build the desalination plants on the coast and sell it to California cities/famers in exchange for water that usually goes down the Colorado River from Nevada to California. Pumping it upstream seems like

Whether you support a minimum wage increase or not, to think that it won't affect other people than those that are getting the increase just isn't true. Here's some possible side effects. - Prices of products or services incr

Really? Pinterest is ranked #16 by Alexa in the US for internet traffic[1]. Do you really think running such a site with that much traffic doesn't require top talent? [1] http://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries&#x2

Nice site. Suggestion: It would be nice to have some sort of search box at the top that would instantly filter the list of articles as you type. Instead of having to dig through the "more articles" links to find what you are looki

Github claims that the flash version is "currently the only reliable way to put data in the clipboard". This seems to indicate that they looked at the native browser option and found it unacceptable for their use case. https:&#x2

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was not just enough to have a phrase enter the public vernacular, but that it would have to be in the vernacular in such a way that its no longer directly associated with the product that was t

Too long of a queue could discourage customer attendance as well, as people may not want to wait a long time, no matter how prestigious the business is. In addition, a lesser-known business could use lower wait times as a competitive advant

I find the location modifier interesting. Obviously, the living costs in major cities are being factored in here, but if two employees provide the same amount of value to the company, it seems odd to pay someone more just because they choos

I don't see how you can justify being off on your facts by 3-4 times by saying its still in the same order of magnitude. You overestimated their cash on hand by about 422 billion dollars. Again, I see the cash on hand as a weak argumen

by netfire 11y ago
Again you post information without any sources. A more accurate figure is $178 billion in cash at the beginning of this year.[1] That means they have around 59 times more than that amount in cash, not the 200 you claimed. Also, I think its

I don't necessarily attribute it to malice either. Their interest in making money and being successful will motivate where they spend their development dollars in maintaining older software and keeping current customers happy on their

I did, and I should have read it more carefully. That being said, I think there is a balance that Apple tries to maintain here. If there experience on older systems is terrible, they run the risk of people switching to a different operating

Curious where you are basing your revenue numbers from. Per Apple's reported statistics for 2014[1], developers pulled in $10 billion dollars in revenue from the app store. That means that Apple's revenue from the app store should

Its in Apple's interest to not have Safari work well on older machines (since they want people to buy new machines), or improve it in ways that would make the browser better compete against the app store (especially on mobile). It is i

Thanks for the links! I'll try to look at those when I have some time. On a quick glance, it looks like most of those systems are ground based and pretty large (which works great for launch footage), the video posted appears to be lo

I mostly meant within the context of the current law and the historical understanding that marriage was only between a man and a woman when the 14th amendment was added. In my opinion, the constitution, as it currently stands, doesn't

Curious how they are tracking the rocket's descent to catch it on camera. It seems like they lose visual of the rocket and then are able to re-acquire it fairly quickly. Are they using some sort of infrared or other tracking beacon on

Because the institution, historically speaking, has been between people of different genders. It is only recently that people have even considered allowing same-sex marriages. It certainly wasn't considered or was part of the intent o

I should have phrased my earlier comment more specific to same-sex marriage, that's true. I don't think your second argument that marriage is sex discrimination is valid though. As you point out, both men and women have been allow

Rights of a minority should not be left to the democratic process. If the constitution and the its amendments, which protect minority rights (and people's rights in general) aren't the result of a democratic legislative process,

Can you specify what part of the constitution is being violated here? There are amendments that protect race, color, gender, etc. Protection based on sexual orientation doesn't seem to be covered, at least not specifically. In my mind,

That's a good point, hellbanner should have used the test API, but this is still troubling. First, due to the lack of the communication and a proper ticket system from Stripe. Second (and more troubling), the idea that someone could ma

Yeah, I wondered if some sort of on-ramp/off-ramp or multi-lane system might work, but given the distance it would take to get up to full-speed (or decrease speed to stop), that could greatly increase the cost of construction, especial

Would a Hyperloop system work well in a system with frequent stops, where you wouldn't be able to get up to full-speed because you needed to stop and the stops could disrupt other express traffic. Would you really be gaining that much

I think the point is that the decisions aren't as high-risk when you are single and don't have other people to support (especially children). The consequences of failure aren't as high. Instead of being able to share a place
