   Thanks for sharing your insight. Wouldn't hurt from a proofread. There are some typos / wrong words, that detract from the sense of authority lent by the article. Eg: "It's clear that we this structure" -->

   How about if we imagine this at a grander scale? The article I linked suggests: "A one-kilometre diameter spherical [balloon] will lift 700,000 tons – two Empire State Buildings. A two-kilometre diameter [balloon] would lift six mill

   For what it's worth, there are some (limited) resources in the atmosphere itself. Here's some discussion on whether you could extract water: https://www.reddit.com/r/venus/comments/srt95x/could

   Venus is arguably the worst place in the solar system From another perspective, its atmosphere is "one of the most Earth-like in the solar system", and scientists long ago postulated the idea of establishing floating cloud citie

   I agree, even if it just does a decent job of creating sane STEP geometry out of 3D scan meshes it would be a huge win.

   I generally agree with your sentiment, but of all the phones I've seen with unwieldy overbites hanging out the back, this is one where the protrusion is small enough that I could live with.

   It's not obvious at first in the video, but they pre-cut a flat base into the plum to stabilize it on the table, and are cutting in at a slightdownward angle. I feel like you could make nearly the same shot with a regular knife. Tric

   In the EU, LinkedIn says they rely on "legitimate interest" as legal basis. I would love to see this get litigated.

    Maybe it sounds crude by comparison, but I just make an effort to pick up the phone and call once in a while to catch up.

    <Waves to you> Neat, thanks for sharing this tidbit of history. Hey, what did the team think of the decision to build it on GWT at the time? (From the outside, seemed like an enabling approach but a bit like building an engine and a

    I simply don't use Gemini. I never asked for it, or agreed to anything having to do with it. I'm pissed off to find it bound to a hotkey or gesture on my phone (I'm still not clear what the actual gesture is that keeps invok

    Here's one of my favorites, of Lars doing the Wave dance on stage to ad-lib over connectivity hiccups. For some reason it evoked a lot more empathy from me... https://youtu.be/v_UyVmITiYQ?t=19m35s

    Why the bleep do they still rely on wifi at conferences like this?? I always insist on a wired connection on its own, dedicated, presenter vlan. Is this running on wifi-only glasses or something? Is that the only medium they can present

    Thanks for stopping by to comment! I'd love to see some good examples of those bugs you referred to, in order to get some more context. Is the intent of the second form to evaluate only once, and cache that answer to avoid re-evaluatin

    640k of RAM is totally absurd. So is 2 GB of storage. And 2K of years.

    More concise? Yes. More readable? I'm less convinced on that one. Some of those edge cases and their effects can get pretty nuanced. I fear this will get overused exactly as the article warns, and I'm going to see bloody questi

    That's such a self-harmful policy. I have a small business and I've been really supportive to both open source and small, paid-for commercial libraries and building blocks that I rely on. Also advocated this successfully at clie

    Imagine schools who had to pay yearly fees to use books I feel like we aren't far from that. Wouldn't be surprised if new books get published (in whatever medium) that are licensed out instead of sold.

    Good. I wish they'd stop adding new "apps" I don't want, and focus on being a handy little file sync and sharing solution. Some of my own pet peeves they did: - got rid of Public folder support, in spite of user outcry

    Is there any reason tagging isn't supported in the mobile app? Also, the first two links Documentation and About both point to the same place.
