This is an interesting issue. One thing they don’t mention is trolls. In a physical public forum such as a town hall meeting, if some crazy gets up and starts uttering threats or stripping their clothes off, they’re going to be escorted out

I read the gizmodo article when it came out and it really seems that the only reason these machines are still running is because the few remaining users have found technically-minded friends that can do the tinkering required to keep them r

What was $500 in classes supposed to get you? It sounds like they were charging quite a bit for classes to make sure you knew how to not kill yourself on various equipment.

Is this implying that 2/3 of those who graduate with an engineering degree don't get a job in engineering? Because that sounds absurd. Sure, people can and do get jobs in industries not exactly related to their degree, but over ha

If retailers actually started using the EPC standard this would be easy. EPC is the RFID equivalent of a UPC barcode, and it has the capability to also transmit a unique serial number for each product. If this were actually used, it would b

That is pretty awesome. I didn't realize the scale and complexity of what they were doing. When I first heard reference to this, I for some reason assumed that these were simple tethered balloons, not stratospheric swarms of AI balloon

At least they took it seriously. Obviously they're going to be a lot more responsive to a well-known tech blogger, but either way google still doesn't usually make house calls.

The whole restaurant marketing/value-added service industry is terrible, sometimes feeling even a bit sleazy. Of course its known that a restaurant's yelp rating is dependent on how much they pay, but all the way down the food cha

As far as antivenins, it is my understanding that most hospitals don't keep them on hand for the most part, and instead rely on an "antivenin bank" to fly it in when needed. Interestingly, the main bank in the US is run by th
