Looking at the test results: 4-6mm permanent deformation when dropping it from 18-20cm? That doesn't seem very good, especially for a city ride with frequent curbs, small steps, road gaps, and a heavy rider like myself (92kg).

I find it fascinating that most of the comments below are critical of the article. Sure, I also agree that delayed gratification pushed to the extreme (e.g. never spending ANY money and never enjoying oneself) is just as bad as playing the

Say what you will about Amazon, but what I did not appreciate about that Gizmodo article is they are misleading on purpose. They put a massive screenshot of the video showing a "TIPS" acronym that apparently stands for Threat, Inv

1000 = 999 + 1 + 0 --- That don't impress me much.

Why are only 50% of profits (not even revenue) redistributed to contributors? The content creators are the ones adding all of the value to your website. Or am I reading it wrong and that is ON TOP of the revenue they get from engagement?

The video ends saying that trying to fit a 4D cube in a 4D hole is like a child playing with toy blocks. Hypothetically, if a child was raised with regular VR simulations that allowed the child to manipulate 4D objects, would their brain &q

I gave a look at their site. If you want to own an iPhoneX + MacBook Pro for 12 months, it costs you almost 200 EUR a month. And at the end of it you have nothing. If you spent 2,400 you could get a new iPhone X + a barely used MacBook Pro

I've worked with gov.uk. They are essentially a startup inside a huge organization, and their great work reflects that. One of the things they told me that struck me: most websites have customers, we have users. What they mean by thi

Who the hell knows with cryptocurrencies. Investor confidence sways easily and government approvals can make or break viability not to mention most of the populace (including the institutions) have no idea how to practically make use of the

Data is as of 2016. Would be curious to see a follow up post on this, especially the comparison with Lyft.

I think the dashboard is quite un-informative. Doughnut charts may look nice but are hard to parse once you have more than 5 items.

Interestingly, I copied and pasted the blurb in the newly released Amazon Comprehend and it detected a negative sentiment with 0.94 confidence (0.0 positive, 0.06 neutral)

Wow, I had to stop half way through. It's the "optimizations" and "best practices" like the ones in the article that really exemplify how hollow content has become.

Have they fixed the Windows key? I remember from my XPS Developer Edition it came pre-installed with Ubuntu but the windows key was not replaced with a would-be-awesome Ubuntu key. A tiny detail, but still...

Looks very impressive. Any plans of offering this a-la-gitlab: paid hosting + support OR free downloadble source but then you're on your own? Main concern is that for something to really become ubiquitous the community should be able t

The alerts need thicker borders! A good rule of thumb is > 3 pixels, preferably gold.

I really enjoy LastPass -- haven't used any others though. Your passwords are encrypted locally so even if their servers are compromised your data is safe.

As I am currently a LastPass user, could you fill me in on the security problems?

A lot of people complaining here. I am based in Luxembourg currently, and went to London last week. The peace of mind of landing in a foreign city and being able to use your phone as if at home truly is incredible. I could really feel the b
