In all honesty, despite the scary-voice narrative, I think this is a boon for urban war scenarios like Iraq. If I was a soldier, I would much rather see this vision be realized, than be the person to conduct night raids or go door-to-door t

I think one of the points of the article is that the perceived 'goodness' of the wine comes from whether the wine is expensive or not. I don't remember where I read this, but packaging of a food product apparently has a non-trivial impact o

In India postmen also can gauge the contents of the letter or document. For example, they can recognize US college acceptance letters for students trying for further studies. Many of them will then ask for gifts for delivering the good news

To stay with your Ratatouille analogy, how does YC know that "someone (anyone) can cook"? Either they eat something that you have cooked, or they look at your past achievements to see if you can cook (chef at a Michelin star restaurant mayb

I own a lot of stuff (TV, couch, wardrobe, carpets, lamps etc), but most of which I don't care about or am OK to lose. If I move out, or move countries I can sell/give away all this stuff and just re-buy it if I need to in the other locatio

I disagree. The game was absolutely fantastic. It was never about problem solving or challenging my brain etc. It was about creating an incredible experience through the atmosphere, music and graphics (along with the back-story and intrigue

Did you watch the entire video? The last minute or so put things into context. It said that the glacier retreated more in the last 10 years than in the 100 years before that. I think that is a reason for concern and it is impressive, any wh

Here are my observations: - No one reads (books) on buses/trains anymore. Its very rare to see someone reading a book in SF in public transport. - No one looks around anymore. I seem like the only person who is looking out the window, or ob

McDonalds is seemingly trying to create an image of a wholesome restaurant, serving naturally made and original food. McDonalds in Canada has a series of videos showing how their meat is natural, and their fries are 100% potatoes etc. I fee

I lived in Mountain View for a while. The walking distance between locations was large, but not too bad. There was a Starbucks and a few restaurants around 15-20 minutes walk from my place. Despite this, I would not see anyone on the street
