One could relatively easily make a prankster device for screwing with the chargers. That said they are somewhat more than just a dumb extension cord and they require a bit of negotiation (and I assume constant communication) with the car t

The 2013 and newer Leafs have a variety of options for this. The default "automatic" mode behavior is to lock the plug when charging then unlock when charging is complete. Not totally sure if you can unlock the charger.

Missouri already has a tax stamp for EV's that is ostensibly to offset the lost revenue from gasoline taxes.

The reason you have your camera at home and your smartphone with you is because it is a smartphone. I'm not totally sure it has anything to do with the form factor.

I had the same reaction. My assumption was that this camera allows for variable depth of field in post production, but virtually nothing about the video says this. They showed someone tweaking a photo but the shot was too short and subtle

I agreed with most of these suggestions. I'm not sure the suggestion to use a struct pattern is worth the lack of JavaBeans support in argle support libraries. You can always use final properties and only provide getters. I think ass

I have two kids in elementary school, K and 2nd grade. The last few years the school district has been experimenting with Chromebook carts they would send to various classrooms once or twice a week. This year, they went with Chromebooks f

When they released this a couple of months ago I was pretty excited to try it out. I think the barrier to installation is a bit high. First install Windows 10, then custom install of VS, install IoT Templates, then about 30 more steps befo

The Federal and State subsidies for EV's drive down the used market value of the cars substantially. I just purchased a 2013 Nissan Leaf and you can get the base models all day long for 10k, or 13k'ish for the high end model. T

You are probably largely correct. A couple of counter-examples. They are from the Apollo program, hopefully they qualify as roughly equivalent. NASA decided they needed honeycomb composites to insulate fuel tanks, but could not come up wi

Been using the beta for a couple of months and I love the export options w/ various code comment flavors. It makes it much easier to drop in some no-so-subtle hints. For example: https://github.com/bigbang/HelloAn

Kansas City, MO and Uber have worked out their differences. I believe Uber will provide background check info to the city about their drivers, and pay a flat fee to cover all their drivers in the city. http://www.bizjournals.com

This looks like a cool project. Is it just me or has Caddy carried on the grand web server tradition of using a config file format that is sort of like, but not quite any other existing format.

One of the most interesting properties of gecko technology is they are not like traditional 'sticky' adhesives. They are powered by sub-atomic attraction and are self cleaning with use. Pretty bizarre :) http://en.wik

I'm personally torn about 192K. Some folks that know a ton more about the recording process than I swear by it. On occasion I will source things at 96/24 if the track count is going to be low. Generally I just stick with 44.1&#

This really isn't even a 'choice', it is practically a requirement for the medium. Some examples: The outer grooves have relatively more fidelity (needle moving faster) than the inner grooves, so the master may be progressiv

Objectively, for virtually any definition of 'fidelity' vinyl has less fidelity than digital systems. If you read about the production on vinyl you will get a pretty good idea of the series of compromises in fidelity that are req

I came here to say the same thing. This move probably has everything to do with making sure people don't have to constantly change the volume when shifting between music videos and random amateur cat videos. The simple fact is YouTub

The OWI arm takes a couple hours to assemble. A bunch of injection molded parts you have to pop out and snap together, along with a few screws in some places. The motors are just plain DC motors, no feedback or anything like that. My kid

I believe this was done by PJ for a couple of reasons. 1) Practical, increasing the shutter speed means either increasing the amount of light for scenes, using faster film stock ( or higher ISO on your RED camera ) or some combination of bo

The effects in the battle sequences of SPR are not a result of high-speed film per se, but the result of altering the effective shutter speed of the camera to reduce motion blur (switching from 180 degree shutter to 90 or 45 situationally).

Just riffing on your Matrix example, the now 'classic' example of using a temporal shift to aid story telling is the use of 45 or 90 degree shutter in "Saving Private Ryan" during combat scenes. Changing the shutter angl

Just my opinion here, but for context you can include virtually any television program that originated as NTSC and was not shot on film and telecined. Just about any soap-opera for example. A more recent example would be NBC's Peter
