Keeping close track of all calories, setting a daily ceiling on calories, and trying to burn ~1000 calories a day via exercise so I can enjoy slightly larger meals.

lol that's not how April Fools jokes work - try again next year. Did someone actually pay some sort of licensing fee to use a star wars logo?

Interesting. By the time everything's fully automated, it might be hard to call them "cars" anymore anyway.

Back in 1991, when were you (and your team) predicting that self-driving cars would be viable?

it would be nice to have a usb stick that had both compatible wifi and storage for these types of demos.

That's interesting. I'm going to test that out by trying some straight up lemon juice in my sparkling water.

Funny. Yeah I totally would have missed the word "different"... does such a lock even exist in the real world?

Same here. My favorite drink is pellegrino with just enough splash of lemonade for it to become sweet. Much more refreshing and hydrating.

Some students pay to have papers written for them, and others have access to test banks. It's probably not parents paying off university staff at that point though.

If they did perform better, I'd have to suspect that it might be a result of even more cheating.

I've done that before using markov chains. It works, and some of the "ideas" can sound interesting, but I never used any of them to work on actual projects. Fun though.

There's a lot of algo trading projects on github - https://github.com/topics/trading-strategies is a good place to start

There seem to be some advantages of being a highly curious/motivated novice. Any time I pick up a new activity, I tend to get a lot of new ideas that could be applied to the problems I'm experiencing for the first time. Novices al

It might be quicker to list the types of boats that you can't find in the bay https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_boat_types is a fun article to browse

A lot more people die from overdoses each year than you might think. The number in 2007 was ~70,000 people in the US. That's more than double the number of people who die in traffic accidents.

I like the random nucleotide sequence in the background. super relevant.

that's a pretty interesting idea. I did something similar a while back to grab expired image hosting websites that still had a ton of images linked to them. expired domains are a continual source of fun.

Have you seen the "scrapper" documentary? It's about those ordnance pickers near the Salton Sea - I recommend it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4pFat3VTkI Those spots are kind of rough and blighted, althoug

you're probably right about that being a number where things start getting more complicated. Starting with 5 people might make even more sense, and add members later to raise additional funds.

There are similarities. It would be more spread out and have far fewer residents than an RV park. People could build what they want (tiny homes, earthbag houses, etc). It would also be more of a co-op compared to a commercial RV park. RV pa

For a while I've been thinking that a sox-golf site might be fun (or dwitter.net for sox). Might be my next weekend project. Not quite music, but I've spent many hours just making weird random sounds in sox.

I'd probably go the opposite direction of East Wind: not require people to buy into a philosophy or make any community commitments. My biggest goal would be to use group buying power to buy good land and put in a sizeable well, some ve

I've been interested in the idea of semi-off-grid live/work communities for remote workers and startups. It's inexpensive and not a bad lifestyle.

I'm not sure about that - there were ~70,000 deaths from overdoses in the US alone in 2017. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2018/p1221-complexity-dru...

It's hard to get the mounts on the keys just right on an FDM printer too, at least in my experience.

I wonder if you could use convolutional neural networks and a microscope mounted on some sort of x-y platform to hunt these down. just collect some dust, spread it evenly on the platform and process it.
