I think they are referring to kinetic energy from body movement, although tapping into heat loss and other wasted energy sources would be awesome too.

Enterprise can mandate complex pass codes, not the 4 digit pins. The 11 hour number will increase rapidly with complex codes. However I assume they will still want the wipe feature to actually work.

I wonder how many left the project after launch because they were burnt out? I wonder if we would have a better product now if the core team has stuck around. Talent retainment isn't just about throwing more money at people, it's

Perhaps we should only fund the women then.

Better still for some fines you are forced, or can opt (as opposed to larger fine) to go on a speed awareness course. After all the point is to make people drive safely, not make money for the state.

I imagine there is a lot of software in the new trackpad to detect palms when typing and ignore the input. Hopefully you won't even notice you are resting on it.

That may not bother you, but lets assume it does. You may be willing to change your fashion sense in order to gain their respect (even though you shouldn't!) but you gender/race is something you can't easily change. The probl

Your argument seems to stem from immutability is easier to reason, therefore you are willing to give up performance to accommodate it. You stated that in some cases it doesn't matter if you use 1% or 100% of processing time in the curr

What are the tools to manage those services written in? Angular was borne out of AdWords tooling, just as React was from FB advertising. Now consider Google have chromebooks, where those apps must run on the web.

This is the other edge of the privacy sword. Look at OSX applications distributed via the Mac App Store vs traditional methods. The Mac App Store is very limiting but far more secure. I value my privacy and the privacy of those I have infor

How do they generate such high advertising revenues? People using google services, allowing them to build detailed portfolios to sell to advertisers. All of this happens though the web. Native apps and things like android are just a way to

This would be anti competitive as soon as the app store had a majority market share. If it became too difficult for them "Charge Facebook $100mm" they would replace support with a lower quantity web app and blame Apple. The realit

There often isn't much in it when you compare costs (at least in the UK, when you want decent limits). The killer is when you are on a contract and want to break it early, or forget to upgrade and keep paying your inflated rate after y

Ironically it's the opposite in the UK, temp employees in the tech industry typically earn a lot more. In context to the interview I was talking about the perm rate was half of the contract rates they were paying people on the same tea

The argument is that changes to genetics bridge generations. If you kill someone with medicine they die. If you give someone a faulty gene, it could affect exponential number of people with each generation . Unless it affects reproduction

Wouldn't this quickly flip the desire to want boys? If a girl has 1000s of male suitors perhaps they would need to start paying a dowry... Not that I agree with choosing the sex of your child for non medical reasons.
