I'm amazed something that works like stackful.io or heroku for your own servers has not been written yet. Like you, many tinkerers have a cheap server to use as a lab. It would be great if one could install on it some piece of software that

>passionate, cool headed These terms are pretty much exclusive, you may want to check a dictionary for "passionate". Unless it's used in some secondary sense different from the usual definition.

First they came for the penis jokes, and I didn't speak up ... etc etc. This situation touches on subjects that are very emotionally charged and, whatever side one is on, we'll have visceral reactions confounding us. I propose a mental exer

I'll do the three-year CEO-protege thing for $10 million as well, but I'll listen to the payer! Better deal heh?

It's more accurate to say it takes 4000 candidates, and it enrolls the 1000 selected. Not wanting to nitpick, just to clarify a bit. I know some of the people involved, wish them all the best. Niel, of course, has a maverick reputation, it'

To use it legally on real networks, that independent stack would have to be validated by the FCC, which is a big obstacle for a DIY project.

This stuff, which I'm going to call meal replacement powder [1], already changed the world for two groups of people I know of. First ones are famine victims, who need a special diet to recover, a diet which was time and work intensive for r

For a proof-of-concept early-stage lean startup, no, number of trained people you may hire around you is not a key issue. As soon as you want to move fast and hire people to help you industrialize the business model you found, having traine

Don't forget the Atlas V that goes with it! The launch base, tracking stations, engineering and ground crews. Gets a bit expensive pretty fast.

Thanks for your story, I appreciate you sharing it. I agree with you about the only constant in life being change. I think it's even older than buddhism, I seem to recall it was Heraclitus who put it as "change is the only permanence". As f

Almost all the items NASA tracks have orbits inside the solar system. This thing came out of nowhere (if it's orbiting around the Sun, it's so excentric that the orbit period is very long so it's like we saw it for the first time - if it's

I've compared it with the already on the market Acer C7 11" Chromebook, and the biggest differences are: - SSD instead of HDD, but 16GB instead of 320. - form factor: 14" vs 11", but same screen resolution! - heavier, 1.8 kg vs 1.28 kg.

"Very sad that they're blinded by shiny things and desensitized to their own treasures." Seems to me this applies for people living in civilization, as they again and again leave it to live as noble savages. Looks a lot like "grass will alw

I can see how you can land in trouble as a pirate when you travel to a country with longer copyright. For Canadians, Hemingway for example is already public domain. Would a Canadian travelling with a Kindle full of Project Guttenberg downlo

Current US law would still see you as hacking ("unauthorized remote computer access"). Hey, if you break some apps, their owners would probably agree, so don't do it.

Besides speech recognition and natural language queries, all the tech you cited is not yet distributed. And as someone wiser said "the future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed". So I'd discount the impact of tech demos like

I'm sorry, but that's a very naive and dangerous view. Being satisfied by what you do has always been a good goal, and society has always rewarded you for doing well at your job. I can't see what angle you are coming from, so I can't give y

Given that the difference between low and high octane is the proportion of two different hydrocarbures, blending them to get mid-grade fuel sounds ok.

That was a show trick, very impressive on paper (or Youtube, as it were). At most it could be commercialized as an expensive gadget for first-worlders, if even that. Maybe in twenty years, when Moore's law will make it dirt cheap.

A chef meal will be different from a home-cooked one. Chefs are known to go for things like lots of fat (which acts as a base for spice flavor), sugar, caramalizing (to improve taste) and other things that add taste but also calories.

Well, in French web agencies, there's a third person in the middle, called an "HTML integrator" who gets the photoshop sketches and makes them into HTML, CSS and static images, who then hands this to the programmers who plugs the dynamic bi
