That was with the materials back then. Here are some of the current materials that we have that they didn't: 1. Concrete ( reinforced ) - much more durable than brick and mortar. 2. Mechanized vehicles like backhoes and the such to bui

What I think is fascinating about this. Is that as humans we ignored opportunities to use the passive technology. For example, why don't today's greenhouses have brick floors or a brick north wall (even a small wall to increase th

Maybe, but at least someone higher up than a random loan officer was prosecuted. Look at this site to get stories of what the banks are still getting away with: http://4closurefraud.org/

And don't forget those Terms of Service prevent you from getting the damage to your house fixed. And most house insurance does not cover flooding / water damage.

Yeap on the odds. In other words, best game if you want to have a reasonable chance on being a lucky winner. Also impossible for the casino to make a subtle rule or behavior change that negatively affects the odds. I personally don't k

The question I have is schema updates. The biggest pain I have had with things like Mongo is dealing with old data records. Use case example for Uber: 1. In 2011, a driver joined. They made a bunch of trips 2. In 2012, Uber added more detai

Not true. The rules aren't as generous as you think. Banks in the US have been covering more than they are legally required. But what about outside the US? Also this requires someone to religiously check the credit card statements, the

Presumedly, those third party providers need to have some sort of security audit, bonded or somehow "known".

Actually the best casino game to play from an odds perspective is craps at a table that meets these conditions: 1. Field has 2 or 12 pay triple and the other pays double 2. 5x odds bets or better allowed. 3. Minimal / no restrictions o

I found the recommendations a nice checklist to work through. They may not be complete or the best. But they are a start.

Maybe because people have other things to do with their day? There are lots of things I could contribute to or fix. I pick the things I care about. The same is true for anyone that actually wants to improve things. Lack of focus is the sure

I wouldn't assume that most Americans know anything about the NSA snooping. Last Week Tonight ( John Oliver ) did man-on-the-street interviews last year to find out how many people knew about Edward Snowden. The number was approaching

Good. I never saw much benefit from IoT talking to the outside world. Device to device in the house, sure. Externally - nope.

You are also missing the point that there is no indicator of communication failure, no log, etc. In my fire alarm when the batteries are going dead there is a chirp that lets me know of a pending failure. The Xfinity alarm system could do

I am sure the scammers would love such an API as well. Then the could model their fraudulent transactions on yours. For example, they would make sure to go to the gas stations that you frequent. Or to the electronics store that you made a p

Or just do what I have started doing: use cash a lot more. This way I have to only worry about the ATM having a skimmer attached to it. Not every random semi-seedy place that I buy food or gas from. Sure I know cash can be a pain. But CC fr

Not true. Any number of positions that I am looking for management (i.e. the candidate has 5+ years of sw dev experience) specify a BS as a requirement . I read this as the filtering software filters out non-degreed professionals.

No. Obama is not responsible for every bad thing that happens. I would rather ask why right-to-lifers let this happen.

I think you are confusing documentaries with "fair and balanced" news programs. CitizenFour - did this present the NSA side of things? An Inconvenient Truth - did this present the fossil fuel industry's viewpoint? GasLand --
