Ah, if it has two independent pull-tabs and they are locked together this works. If you have one pull tab locked to the end of the zipper this does not.

Instead of coming home from the office with Carpal Tunnel we'll be coming home with hoarse voices. Color me skeptical.

If you implemented a web-like runtime from the ground up, you're saying you would write it from scratch? The runtime has JavaScript support, it does not have a brand new interpreter. The runtime has CSS support, it does not have a bran

Apple's phone SDK's are not prefixed "Phone", nor is it called the "Phone OS". Exactly to my point: It's called iOS because the breadth of it's applicability was recognized from the beginning. Edit: Y

I have no idea how it's actually implemented, but it's quite likely TVML is powered by HTML (and WebKit). Rather than expecting developers to use an open-spec-compliant generic toolkit, they've just built modules on top of it

I'm a little surprised they're jumping into the literal "TV" namespace so wholeheartedly. Is the future of this ecosystem really exclusively limited to the Television? Gaming is already an explicit part of this, which un

I like the way you think, but how do you reliably re-seal the bag without using the built-in zipper?

The lack of launcher support (like legacy DOS support in Windows) probably killed it. If you were using it, you were also often loading native programs instead of it. Something as simple as a double-click instead of having to reset and &quo

Seems like it would be harder to re-engineer food transportation to be virtually shock-free. You'd have to revolutionize all packaging, sorting, loading and transport for each product. Even handling when picking has an impact on shelf

Aquaponics is great from a numbers perspective. But so is Soylent... Myself, and other conscious humans, conscious of the consciousness in animals, are concerned about quality of life (this is not the same thing as Veganism). One example of

Transportation has a large impact on the varieties and quality of food available. Excessive handling creates waste and even drives your shopping habits; damaged fruits and vegetables don't last as long on the shelf so you have to pursu

Yeah, you're right, physical density does have a role. There's a sort of critical mass that happens; traffic flows well even though everyone is being dumb vs. traffic stopping when everyone is being dumb...

In my experience, including such prestigiously congested roadways as the 405, 101 and the 10, it has a lot to do with behavior (ie. the 'caterpillar' effect) than route. Rather, it's not physical space, but delays in processi

> Why is logged-out Twitter not a search engine? From my perspective (a developer who has leveraged the API from 1.0 on), search has always been 'different'. At first, it didn't exist. So some company (Summize) created it.

My point being, if there is such demand from your customers for a particular feature that they hack it together themselves, or endure what commenters have expressed to be "tolerable strange behavior", then you should probably thin

This claiming "clickbait" trend is getting out of control. It's like teenagers using the word "random" as a catchall term for who-knows-what. By definition, the title of a talk given at a conference can't be cl

It amazes me, too. If you are so enamored with 'preparing' for a particular lifestyle, why not live it? It's the same with the 'survival' crowd. They don't go camping, they "practice". Makes me wonder
