   Good point. I would think 5% would be a more reasonable number though.

   I work a pretty standard 40 hour work week in an office, and even that makes me feel like a distant father sometimes. Love my kids, hate seeing them only 2 hours a day before they go to bed (they're still very young).

   Honest question- why should Bethesda get any money from mod sales? You need to have purchased the game to use the mod, and mods add something to the game experience that Bethesda didn't have to pay for themselves.

   I did immediately think "Star Wars" when I read your original comment. This is very off topic, but something I've been thinking about lately. Will basic needs ever be taken care of for everyone, so we can work on whatever we

   I'd be really interested in this area of research, too. And not just trees- what about smaller plants (even house plants)? I'd imagine an engineered "heavy breather" that people could easily grow in their homes and yards

   Not a fan of the rounded corners/edges, but the photos are more than beautiful enough to make up for it.

    Why would they sell in 10 years? A sale then would only make sense if they were struggling, in which case I wouldn't count on a failing "Tesla culture" to remain. It looks like they have a very bright future, with classic aut

    Elon Musk actually joked/hinted (in a tweet) that they were making modifications to the barge similar to the flying SHIELD helicarrier.

    This makes more sense. 100ms and over sounds to me like a huge problem, while 10ms does not.

    Thanks for the 9ms reference, that's helpful. I'm honestly surprised it's that low.

    Is 10ms really that big of a deal? I'm an amateur musician so have some experience playing in bands, but I have a hard time believing 10ms would feel off when playing with others.

    Exactly my question. Also, Virgin Galactic.

    You probably already know this, but just want to point out that SpaceX's approach goes way beyond "landing it on a boat". For today's launch (and launches in the near future), they'll land it on their barge. But aft

    That is Apple's choice for the Air (and they are notorious for slow refreshes in general). But the article is talking about the CPU industry as a whole, which is why I strongly disagreed with the "good enough since 2011" line

    CPU performance in 2015 on par with a CPU from 2011 is a terrible, even when considering the lower power consumption.

    A great perspective, as Gruber typically gives. But his take on sending a heartbeat as a flirting 16 year old was awful. That was basically the same pitch for Facebook pokes, which initially were cute but quickly turned obnoxious. Sending t

    I've been following net neutrality issues pretty closely and this is the first I've heard the term "zero rating". I didn't have a clear understanding of the term after reading the article, since I wasn't sure i

    I'm also curious. I don't use grunt because my daily workflow is almost entirely in Visual Studio, but I though grunt was the go-to for automation tasks.

    Great point. Current smart watches have zero appeal to me. But, if they started to move towards a curved, wider forearm band (similar to a QB arm band playbook), a lot of possibilities open up. It'd probably be a tough sell initially f

    The full source wasn't available, but at least the product was available to the market. With Apple buying it up and taking down the source repos and the full product download page, the tech is lost to anyone outside of Apple.
