Correct me if I am wrong, but AFIAK the efficient fuel storage issue has been solved with using Methanol/Ethanol (liquid at room temperature) instead of Hydrogen as a fuel.

I knew this was going to happen when I saw some of the office picture/renders a few months back. Highly relevant article: http://timharford.com/2017/02/what_makes_the_perfect_office/ And for a bit of his

Yes I saw this and though you might be referring to this, but it's still roughly the same, by defining these attribute names and selectors, you are still defining a language, you don't save much to learn. There is not much else to

I started doing web development around 1999 or a bit earlier, NotePad.exe was my first text editor. By 2003 I was building websites in strict XHTML and CSS, and always avoided using presentation markup, OpenWeb.eu.org was one of my favorite

I am not sure I understand your point, how do you expect to be able to apply a style across multiple elements in a HTML document using attributes of existing elements? Nevertheless you'd have to define selectors or use classes, even XP

I think there is a clear distinction to make, sure, you should be frighteningly ambitious if you want to have an impact. But the initial idea should not be frighteningly ambitious, in fact it should be the exact opposite, and should be some

This could be interpreted as a snarky comment, but is actually on point. A good democracy should function is such a way to afford for an outcome that maximize the satisfaction of each individual.

Actually I think Brexit is a demonstration of what happen when people don't understand democracy and the powers exploit that ignorance. Here is what one of the Lords said today: > The Lib Dem peer Lord Taverne says that peers are en

Let's not forget the upcoming European elections. Bar that, even as a French citizen, I would actually give my vote to Amsterdam as being probably one of the best places to start a startup in Europe.

IMHO the real thing that Apple has been missing is not live TV, but interactive gaming. The weak performances of Nintendo with the Wii U presented/presents a very good opportunity for Apple to create an environment, APIs, and accessori

There are some good things in there, in particular 6. MARKET-BASED H-1B VISA ALLOCATION. However what is missing is a month by month allocation, which would be much more competitive than the existing yearly, April 1st allocation. If you are

I wish Chrome would also allow changing tabs when a page issues an alert notification. Further, there is no reason that alert notifications other than document/data saving, should prevent closing a tab.

A problem in long tunnels, is that accidents brings nightmare scenarios [1]. This is one of the reasons why cars are loaded on trains in the Eurotunnel. I also hope they do proper traffic simulations that take into account the Braess’ parad

Yes I meant to reply to you. I think we are confounding flourishing cities and capitals. I was more talking specifically about the later. Most ancient and especially modern capitals (D.C., Canberra, Ottawa etc.) are built inland, but the la

Not really, as coastal city can also benefit from fishing, and certain coastal area had maritime trade back in ancient times. But it's not sea level either, my understanding is that the reason why most ancient capitals are built inland

Your example misses some variable. Here is a better example: regulate fishing in an area where fishing is expensive. Prices go up. More fish flock to areas where fishing is done at an industrial cost-effective scale, more fish is extracted

You don't necessarily have to buy lightning headphones (I wouldn't) or stop using the audio jack. Audiophiles have already been using lightning to audio jack DACs, even when the iPhone still had a jack port, for superior audio qua

To step away from sales, since everyone seems so focused on headphone jacks/MBPt. I think a lot of the uproar this year will subside over the next 1-2 years and the decisions Apple made will make sense. Apple has always made controvers

I fail to see some good use cases, does anyone have any examples of useful usages for this API? The example in the draft is for a heart rate monitor, but that would seem only useful for live monitoring. Other things I can think of would be

Thought you meant ground re-routing, I am the one who read you initial comment too fast, and missed the mesh part. Anyway, what makes you think that routing at such a low orbit should be significantly slower than ground-routing?

Here is the part you missed: "Optical inter-satellite links permit flexible routing of traffic on-orbit."

Yes, I think it makes 100% sense that you guys focus on a mobile keyboard for the step 1. And I think you guys made a very good start at it by using Apple design as a reference, using a reversible connection, and adding backlighting. From a

It's not, if you plug it in, it relies on the wired connection: To charge the internal battery, simply plug in the braided fiber cables – perfect also when you want to eliminate input lag.
