Cool idea, but how would you keep it maintained? It's tricky enough to keep maps up to date. A 3D Mesh would be even more complex to maintain.

As someone who's been involved in setting up a corporate incubator, this is a pretty common dilemma. The way that we viewed it at my previous company was basically it's two different businesses, two different P&L's and tw

If everyone's moving to remote working. Do you believe this will push for dumping wages as well? I don't mean moving jobs to India, but rather recruit remote workers in relative low-income areas of the US? Not discrediting the amo

As someone who's never read a manual for anything I owned in my entire life I find this fascinating. Is there anything I'm missing out on, and if I wouldn't read manuals cover-to-cover, what parts would you recommend reading?

Plants have evolved to adapt to a certain environment, and if we change those parameters to promote a certain behaviour (e.g. higher yield) then most likely it comes at a cost (e.g. is the produce less nutritious?)

This is not a fuck up or negligence, Zoom deliberately used "end-to-end" with a completely different meaning than the rest of the world. I can't describe this as anything else than malicious and fraudulent. Their intention wa

I agree, following the instructions is a critical skill to develop. What I meant was that you can be creative with these solutions. As for the programmable mouse, my son drew his own mazes on paper in the end and placed his toy cars and oth

We got this one for our son when he was 3: https://www.robotshop.com/en/code--go-robot-mouse-activity-s... It's a great introduction to programming. You have to put in all instructions on the mouse to solve the ma

This is the best definition I've seen and I really buy into the logic. Instead of defining middle-class on it's own, it makes much more sense to define it's boundaries (lower, upper) and middle is what the name implies, in be

Yeah, I'd rather focus on the victims of sexual assault than on the suspect trying to evade the law. What if it was your daughters/sisters/friends who were abused? Sweden is not a "banana republic" or whatever you&#
