iDrive: $100/yr ($8.30/mo) for 5TB.

Yeah, that's okay, but I have a lot of small family devices that need backup, but not a lot of backups. I don't want to pay $10/mo to backup my mom's desktop and the 15GB of data in her user profile. Crashplan had a fa

Currently, the police do not have access to it. There is a centralized system they can use that simplifies the process for the police to request footage from a homeowners, but that's all it is, a request. That said, since it is data i

The Wirecutter has made a very successful business off of reviews and Amazon referrals, so it's doable, but it requires a lot of scale, and a company willing to pay a small %age of revenue for the referral.

It's deeper than that. Control-[ is the same keycode as escape. [ is the next character after Z in ASCII, and Control-[ is the next character after Control-Z. It's not a mapping, they are one and the same.

The other big issue I see in government projects is that government and other public sector organizations have a mandate to serve all citizens, even the expensive ones. Startups can choose to ignore the 20% of their potential market that i

> Absolutely. There are a zillion different problems to solve like this, but I don't think they're necessarily unsolvable, though. They are solvable, but with regulation, and they will sometimes get an edge case here or there

Yes, this. The nameplate tuition is paid by a vanishingly small percentage of students. What I think each school should do is publish data showing what the median tuition paid is, and the quartiles. That would help a lot to fight this pe

With a significant fraction of Internet traffic (and all eCommerce traffic) end-to-end encrypted, is it really realistic that they would have sensitive data (usernames, passwords, real names, addresses, credit card information, etc.) in mem

Amazon did this for canon equipment some time back. I used to sell my older cameras and lenses on Amazon as used items; I'm not allowed to any more. It's too bad, but it just pushed me back to eBay, which has been perfectly fine

Does this even work in suburban areas, where Orion and the major stars are all pretty clear, but the sea of dimmer ones are blown out?

Interesting. These studies seem to be looking at physical or chemical data. Is it possible that the patterns that people see with evening light are largely mental? Until recently, most artificial light sources used in the home were in th

If someone can figure out how to do crypto without burning through thousands of CPU-hours of compute, they would have a real winner on their hands. Of course, execution is also a key factor in success. There are lots of good ideas that we

The other challenge with the trades is that they are more subject to the boom and bust cycles than the jobs that a liberal-arts degree qualifies you for. When construction is hot, it's hot, but when the market turns, a lot of those co

This is a wonderful story, and a good example of the sorts of hidden value our so-called bloated government bureaucracy can provide.

This law is only for grades 7-12, so most affected kids can get themselves to school, or don't need direct supervision between when parents leave for work and when the bus arrives.

That could work, but it's fairly brittle. If an item comes out of its location, you have no idea which seller it comes from. If an item is pulled incorrectly, and then set on the return-to-stock pile, you have no idea where to put it

Okay, so lets assume that you're correct, and they track the original source of sales. How? I have never once received a mass-produced media item (like a book or DVD) with any additional sticker, label, or other indicating device. W

Yep. They commingle because they use the UPC code as the identifying barcode for the item. If any party wants to avoid commingling, they either need to manufacture with a different barcode, or cover over the barcode with a different, vendo

It's going to take more than some new features to make $100/yr worth it over $0/yr, but I see your point. I don't shoot as much as I used to; if I buy a new body at some point, I'll bite the bullet and do it.
