It's surely a small number, but how small would it have to be for you to take the risk? It's not a rational act to rob someone, so it's a fair assumption that their next decision won't be solely based on reason or logic

This is actually a list of 9 pretty solid research ideas: the current re-charging stations are too small? Find out how to make them bigger. Can't toe with an electric vehicle? Invent one that can do just that. Seems like the first reac

That mask started to grow on me: it makes the car look like a spaceship, and even more importantly, it sets it apart from all other cars out there. It's like the hatchback-shape of the Prius. I don't think anyone does actually fin

GitHub's search is pretty interesting: every time I refresh the search page it shows a different number of results: 18,401,830; 17,751,631; 15,995,799. Which is anyways quite a lot of results, but then this search finds ThisShouldNeve

Why did the FBI drop the lawsuit against Apple in the first place? They both made it sound like the stake was much higher than unlocking the one device. Or, the FBI managed to unlock this phone and so they can unlock any other devices too,

Todoist support was awesome, but after about a month of investigation the ultimate solution for me was to stop using stacked items -- since I have none of those, the problem doesn't exist either, and I can keep using Todoist (as I&#x27

Newspapers, by definition, cover reports that are newsworthy. "People are all healthy" would be the more surprising headline for any paper today, so I would assume that would be picked up at least as well.

My masseuse said during massage yesterday: "Relax! If you can't relax, that's not good for you." That's not much help to get relaxed, you can imagine, but nor is the "you're doing it all wrong" in the

It's funny because when anyone else wants to transfer their own domain it takes like a week, the process is extremely confusing, and there is no way to contact support. (Look at that, another excellent selling point.)

I've been thinking of this for a while: if you share quite a lot of things about your life, then, a good enough AI a few decades from now can learn - well, you . 'What would you ask from grandma if she were still alive?' bec

I very much like how the recommended Hyperscript looks, but the package was last updated last December, and it doesn't even list React 0.14 in the compatibility list: it stops at v0.13, which was released in May 2015. Half a year befo

Free is all fun and jokes until someone loses an eye. PaaS companies had a rough year in 2015, with many companies closing down and Heroku changing their pricing. (A great article is here: https://blog.fortrabbit.com/cloudsc

Your advantage as an indie company is that you can move fast, experiment with app ideas on all-new platforms. When the App Store was new, indie companies had to compete against other indie companies, where everyone came from about the same

Websites can try to block users with certain browsers or ad-blockers, but that's not going to work. With a very few exceptions, content is a commodity and portals are easily replaceable. Actually it feels like there are more people cre
