I think having a huge plant on a ship means they can staff it with workers from 3rd world countries without worrying about Australian visas, employment laws, etc. It's not uncommon for local miners to earn north of $200k per year. I wa

This information makes a lot of sense, and should be on the landing page as (one of) the main selling point(s).

Curious to see whether this system is robust enough for unpredictable outdoor breezes.

looks pretty good for a summer internship project, but nothing more. Why are all these guides uglier than bootstrap?

Where does this liquid helium come from, and more importantly where does it go after it's been heated? Im guessing they release it into atmosphere, so is there enough helium to mine for this plane to go mainstream?

Is there a way to quantify the usage of tools like this? I mean, how many people actually use RelativeWave on a daily basis? NoFlo, Origami, RelativeWave are all offering this visual programming, but any example I saw was becoming too compl

While this is a very useful article, recurring attempts to convince readers that privacy is not an issue had an opposite effect on me. I didnt even know spying was a concern, but when out of the blue I'm told "dont worry about pri

If you can slightly distort an image to make NN produce any classification you want that opens many interesting options for steganography. Funniest application would be distorting individual characters of the printed text so that OCR engine

I think LG, like others, is struggling to push this product out in time for Christmas shopping. Won't be surprised if they ship it with rather obvious hardware or design issues. That "where to buy / coming soon" image is

Great idea, but after trying it dozen times I still didn't get the most common excuse: "works fine on my machine"

What about the past statements of MS executives? e.g. "A Microsoft legal representative has said during a hearing in the European Parliament that open source actually presents a higher vulnerability risk."

Read any startup book or blog: you can have a grand vision but you must start solving one small problem and expanding from there. Winning one niche and then scaling. When you go after everything at once you go after nothing in particular.

I don't know how Intel operates. Did they start building a 90nm factory before they finalised the process of making a 90nm chip? Can they upgrade a 90nm plant to start producing 45nm, and will it cost less than half of the original spe

I'm not saying this is wrong or right. I'm asking whether we should stop dreaming about quick charging cars that can travel 1000 miles.

It's not the fact they invest in manufacturing, it's the size of the investment compared to company size/assets. Factory is supposed to pay for itself before its product becomes deprecated. Looking at how expensive this gig

All I wanted is take this patent out of the equation forever. My thinking is that I've created prior art that would make the idea much much harder to patent. Not a patent lawyer, so may be wrong. As for how harmful it was for my anonym

Usually, when you start investing in manufacturing, that means R&D has achieved all it could. So is this factory a sign that Tesla is settling down on the current levels of cell capacity, charging times, weight, etc? I.e. they don'

I guess a software could insert a "blink break" every couple of minutes. They could even display an a video commercial during that time, to monetize your blinks. Since everyone seems to try to patent everything: in this comment I

It is really great that they have guts to admit the failure. Though this confession is a bit overdue, I hope they've learned the lesson and some day will come back with a better solution. No doubt that the problem is really worth solvi

I think most interesting blogs are written in the most boring setting - when author is not distracted, just crafts content for hours in the comfort of their living room. So this may be fun for sharing shortlived experiences, but likely wort

Regarding 2. 'add item button is too small' - I'd personally try a large-ish grey plus icon in the middle of a column, that is only visible when that column is hovered.

Similar? compare California to Texas, and then compare Spain to Czech Republic. Apple needed to partner with one carrier - AT&T to sell phones in all 50 states. What's the minimum number of carriers you need to partner with in orde

Your "counterexample" is young political activists, probably local party leaders. Those are multicultural, openminded and all. What about the average middle class, representing probably 90-99% of the buying power? I agree that it&

Following the same logic we'd have something better than windows8 dominating the market by now. It's so easy to bring a new desktop pc or a laptop to market. Where are new disruptive desktop OSes? Where were they when the market w

Every european country has own laws, culture and language. They are individual markets, and each market is too small to break even after all the R&D and hardware costs.

iphone started without carrier support, maybe. (There was some sort of an at&t deal, i dunno, doesn't matter) But the point is that was then, we now live in a different world. Apple gave invented the smartphone market as we know it
