Did you catch the SpaceX Launch on Sunday night? Always does the trick for me... Especially when they stick the landing! But regardless, it's a few min's where I can forget myself and cheer for the future. https://space

That's not constructive... I agree. WTF? LoDash was here all along... What is this discussion about?

HDMI ports can work that way, if the software is in place to support that kind of functionality. However piracy concerns or laziness seem to have trumped that option on the market today. Yes you should be able to, but no you probably can&

I think it's fair, Remember being 12? Then again, when I was 12, my elders we're a very different set of folks.

Yeah, too bad your MacBook Pro doesn't allow HDMI in.

bitrate it uses is good enough for the mission The fact is, it could be better, and it really should . It's just silly to use Solar panels in the outer Solar System. This mission was dominated by politics and not science. I think th

Wait what? If you're seeing that NASA.gov has a paywall, you need to take a close look at your (very infected) PC... I now see that the link has been edited/changed Carry on!

"Bash on Windows might also become a thing" - I've been dreaming about this for months. It really looks like a huge threat to Apple: Creative Cloud, BASH, and I don't have to piss around with Bootcamp when I want to pla

Apple requires all developers to pay $99/yr to publish any applications, even free ones. They are strictly pay to play. Also, App Store revenue is certainly not "insignificant", we're talking $Billions of dollars for App

I activate Alfred with my caps-lock key. That way spotlight is still in the usual place. It take a key-mapping app called Seil to make it work, but it's really great. Sometimes I think Chromebooks stole my idea. :p

It can be "taught" to do things. If you want to open something with 1-2 letters you can just repeat yourself a few times (2-4?) and it will learn and remember. Spotlight just does not do this.

Was this Raspberry Pi powered? This story makes that claim: http://www.newsweek.com/artificial-intelligence-raspberry-pi... If that is true, it puts this achievement in a totally different class.

I don't think this is a design issue. Unless you're proposing a standard? (In that case, how about a better system?)

Ahh, also, I like to share the command line with other folks. Nano is the easier one to share. It comes with a manual! (trapped in vi PTSD anyone?, I certainly know one vim command. ":q")

Just guessing: you didn't grow up in a GUI world. When I'm ~45 I hope I'll know lots more about vim, until then, we're still cashing checks.

I think the key here is batteries. The utilities will fight (lobby) to give themselves the upper hand when it comes to buying solar power from consumers . Tesla plans to make lots of batteries. Batteries also happen to be good solution to

I believe that the regulatory environment for solar is becoming rather un-cooperative. I also think that the solution to the uncooperative (Utilities don't want to pay for solar electricity) situation is a Tesla product, batteries !

I'm interested to see how the British handle this. There are certainly lots of cameras in London, but I believe they are rather conspicuous. Perhaps this is more about protecting technology than knowledge? Like, it's not about loc

Here's the bit where they "landed": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLNmtUEvI5A&t=36m18s Looks to me like they may have stuck the "landing" but it was hard, broke something and the vehicle was o

So the algorithms for this kind of recognition already exist in your head (and your cat's). How do you propose we lock that kind of information down? Do you really believe we can lock that kind of information down? How would a Fourth b

This assumes you are only photographed willingly or knowingly. I think that case is an exception, and not a rule. I'm not afraid of Facebook, Mastercard probably has a more intimate database on more people. Think CCTV.

An addition, not a correction: But, like cryptography, it only works for as long as isn't broken and does not break.

IMHO: Facial recognition, along with other software and analysis techniques, have already ended anonymity. We're just waiting for the world to catch up. Anonymity may still exist in this world, but those are outliers, no longer the rul
