What? Isn't that the same issue, they're incompatible with each other? So does Qi work with Powermat and vice versa?

I wouldn't call this a math problem but rather a logic problem.

It's because as much as we want to believe that we don't, largely because we are fed a constant barrage of self-congratulatory propaganda ourselves, we live under a similar type of regime as those we chastise all over the world. T

Does anyone have an understanding of whether there are corporate accounting and tax incentives that would explain some of the opposition to remote work? I suspect there is some incentive for corporations and companies in general to spend mo

Last I was at the Rio Grande, I was surprised that there were many spots where you could simply walk across without really getting your ankles fully wet. I wonder what the compounding negative effects of these actions will be. With reservoi

I think this article highlights the real need for a managing layer. I know that many people, especially in this forum, will bristle and pop an artery just from reading that last sentence, but reality is that the problem does not lie in mana

We should be pushing legislators to dump massive amounts of money into alternative energy and (anther issue that is grossly overlooked) alternative materials research and policy changes. Even if we were able to sever the ties to oil for ene

They're probably a sleeper drone army that will be activated and controlled by some backdoor that the NSA engineered into our network. That's all.

Although it also would disrupt several startups, I have been saying for a long while now that the payment processors like Visa, MC, etc., really shouldn't exist. The government should have its own digital currency and its own payment p

Because silicone valley, i.e., tech industry, that's why. Really it's probably because transporting and handling fuel comes with regulatory burdens that make things a challenge, and silicone valley doesn't like real challenge

I am sure this could be used in creative ways, but how is this not essentially manual stop-motion video? It's amazing that technology has progressed so much that now I can manually flip through stop-motion visualization. Let's cal

You should realize that America is being deconstructed into a corporate entity. Being American really doesn't even matter any more, you are a head of cattle on Big Sky USA Ranch Inc. where the upper sliver of society is the only net be

Even if they do prefer the city now. I just can't come up with a scenario where it makes sense for people to crowd in cities over the medium term. Heck, I can't make sense of why companies like Yahoo and Google insist on co-locati

I'm talking, exactly, about the "other reasons", of which their shading recruiting practices are only one aspect. Just off the top of my head comes to mind that Uber was caught calling Lyft cars and then ditching or cancellin

You are simply stuck in the current mindframe of thinking. It's not your fault or anything, especially considering that the whole notion of inheritance is rather deeply ingrained in many societies' culture, especially in contempor

Is that a joke, because corporations are people?

I listened to both before you did. I'LL SEE YOU IN COURT, YOU COPYING SCUM.

by wahsd 12y ago
Another good case why inheritance should simply not exist beyond some practical level. You die, your live's work should become public domain, meaning, no one can use it and pervert it or change it or use it for profit, but it should no

To that point, someone should consider the design effectiveness of road signage, just as much as someone should maybe design an "OPEN" sign that isn't "ugly" but also get's the message across, while also having

I understand your pedestrian frustrations, but what you don't seem to understand is that the risks to government and military, i.e., your defense, are wildly exponentially larger and far more consequential than you quite clearly seem t

The problem is that Uber wants all the gain without really taking on any of the responsibility, costs, or consequences beyond the bare minimum for PR and marketing purposes. In essence, they set up a system to parasitize an industry through

I get the sense that you are an advocate of Uber's and that type of approach to business and society. The problem I have, no matter how much I like the idea and concepts and technical solutions, is that there is a social flaw built in,

That's only one phase towards full obsolescence of humans and rental cars overall.

Here we go with privatizing public resources and assets again. It galls me to hear moronic, self-serving corrupt things like "...the growing economic case for deploying our streets differently, for use by more than cars." In a cap

Do you realize the self-fulfilling nature of the system you describe? It seems somewhat recursive to rationalize that the nature and environment you experienced at MIT was a good preparation for "real life", when the "real li

I wonder if there is a similar pipeline of developing hardening techniques based on the pipeline of research into vulnerabilities of things like Tor.

When and why would anyone need to see the driver or the driver a CS rep? How does that help in any kind of scenario that is relevant to driving a rental vehicle? Seriously, can anyone come up with a legitimate and relevant use-case?
