I think getting ideas is not the hard part, just do some quick or clever search on places like reddit and you can find lots of ideas or suggestions that people have but can't or won't create. As they say, execution is what actuall

I always thought that a direct democracy where you can by default delegate your vote to one of the elected politicians, but you override whenever you want, would be the best of both worlds (representative democracy and direct democracy). Th

There's a lot of whitespace removed, but also IMO they used way too many colors. Once you highlight everything, you're highlighting nothing.

Not if original_number_of_photons * original_energy_per_photon >= final_number_of_photons * final_energy_per_photon The quote explicitly says that there's a lot of the original photons and a few of the resulting photons, so t

Is there a name for this kind of scheme where you can generate a password every time because you have all the parts needed? I've been seeing that people do this but don't have a name for it.

You can do that with google cardboard!

Restricting the sale of guns makes it harder for the average person, but the bad guys will always have a way.

Unfortunately, it needs internet to work, and the keyboard IMO doesn't work that well, I keep mistyping stuff, which doesn't happen with the regular keyboard.

I'm skeptical. The phrase "marketing channel" does not appear verbatim on the article. I'd say it either has really good NLP or there's a human somewhere.

Slightly off-topic: Do you also look for files that play okay, but the audio and video are off-sync? Also, files where audio stops playing when seeking, for a few seconds? That seems to happen a lot to me.

The first chapter alone blew my mind the first time I read it around ten years ago. I read this book once every couple years and it's always thought provoking.

Advertisers are usually very wary of what content is associated with them. I'm sure the morally conservative vocal people would complain to the brand or something like that. Or maybe not, if that would imply that they were watching por

How about sleeping instead of straight rebooting, and then booting to windows, so that when you restart and boot back into Linux you have everything the same way? If you have an SSD it's pretty fast to reboot to a different OS.

You're thinking of virtualization. Dual booting is when you have both OS installed on different partitions/drives and you restart to boot a different one.

I don't have any numbers, but I think they mentioned this in the article: It depends on how well distributed your points are. There are a lot of cases where a point cloud will yield an inefficient obbox using the PCA method, while (if

I for one don't care what the creators say. To me it's like the "GIF" thing: as a creator, especially when it's years after it's something that's part of the public consciousness, you don't have any s

Wouldn't a regular text replace work, switching one character for another?

Downside: They might throw it or smash it on the ground like they might with a regular hammer.

> cost cutting (avoiding the expense of imprisonment) I remember reading that the opposite is actually true. All the cost of trials, retrials, etc. is apparently more than housing the inmate for life.

I always use Firefox's Reader View when reading text-based articles. Especially on mobile. It makes the pages all the same, distraction-free, and fast to scroll.

I've always wanted a local script that would back up all the playlists automatically (instead of having to copy-paste things manually like you can do now), and be able to run it whenever you want to back it up. I don't even care a
