I don't see that snapchat has the lock-in to make it worth the risk. Sure you can leave other social networks and it's always a risk but Snapchat's ephemeral nature seems to make that risk much much worse. That said I only us

I wonder how this will effect performance for games/realtime stuff as that seems like the weak point for JS from the user side, although realistically it's probably more of a GC problem. Seems like most of the test websites are re

I think the low TDPs have to be the scariest thing for Intel. Really interested to see what they can do in the 15-25W range for notebooks and their server stuff.

Interesting, I've always been curious if it doesn't make sense to have a clear unit with some sort of cover and LEDs to "top up" the natural sunlight in northern locations during winter. Not sure if it just ends up being

Interesting the dice roll forces a refresh to reroll and but the random number one doesn't. Try 100/100 min/max for the random number generator. Interesting what you can find poking around the JS. Or -99999999999/9999999

Time/ability is a big factor when it comes to what people eat. Throwing a frozen pizza in the oven is fast, easy and requires no extra dishes. You can even just use the box it came in is a plate, so I've heard. Being comfortable i

I think this would help a lot for people learning computer systems as well. Matches the underlying pointer arithmetic logic. Let's all agree to switch to using offset instead of index?

I think it will be progressive road/condition based where highways/freeways become "driverless certified" first and in city driving comes after.

Something that works only during certain times of day and weather is not reliable from the perspective of generating electricity. The fact that your solar installation is in good working condition means it works reliably but that doesn&#x27

>The reason a lot of people (especially young people) have been flocking to walkable cities has a lot more to do with self-identity and lifestyle choices than with just merely commuting time. No self-driving card will change that. For me

I think the problem is far worse for high end Android manufactures. Apple at least has a unique ecosystem that serves as a point of differentiation. What does Samsung have to differentiate itself? A logo? Apple is a luxury brand and people

I think a big part of the problem is Windows 7 is so good. I have very little incentive to switch at all. I'll probably do it sometime in the next week because free upgrades end July 29th but only because I have Windows 10 on a laptop

I've always been frustrated by the lack of government involvement in situations like this. Not specific to food but businesses in general. I leave my car parked for an hour past when I'm supposed to - harming no one really - and I

I'm not sure there is really a scarcity of coal. Market prices are low by historical standards and India is currently looking at ways to expand coal exports because of overproduction and record stockpiles at power plants. http:/&

You can't compare 3 month term interbank loans to a 30 year term mortgage. 30 year tbills are around 2.25%.

There are rent to own schemes, although less flexible than what you are describing. The amount of money renters would have to spend to get a relevant portion of the equity would be substantial. Landlords aren't just going to start givi

Your EV would increase if you removed numbers that are picked more often. Your chance of winning is still the same but the expected payout is higher because the expected number of identical tickets is lower.

Oil, even at current prices, is significantly more expensive than natural gas and coal for generating electricity. Apart from remote communities oil isn't really used to generate electricity. Oil is valuable because of gasoline. Solar&

Neat but doesn't pollution vary significantly day to day and seasonally? It seems like one drive through at random time/day/season wouldn't be enough data to be meaningful.

As competition for streaming rights heats up it seems like a good way for Netflix to offer a large selection and differentiate itself in the market.

Their market cap is less than what Microsoft paid for Minecraft. Although they have another 2b in debt... I thought the x86 cross-license agreement prevented this though?
