Interference patterns from two lasers do not make any sound. You can take data describing the interference pattern and convert it to a signal that is run through a speaker but that doesn't mean the interference pattern is audible. The

I think it bothers me because it is focusing on the sound that some small piece of this operation creates when the amazing thing is to be able to measure gravitational waves. Who cares if you hook the output of some piece of LIGO up to a sp

I am not sure why but I am really hung up on the quote “Finally, astronomy grew ears. We never had ears before.” They are detecting gravitational waves not sound waves.

It's funny they compare this to "Coca-Cola messing with its secret recipe" which Coke did and it was not a success.

@detaro, couldn't reply directly to your comment but so far they haven't charged me. They sent me a note saying that eventually I would be charged but maybe they got enough backlash that they decided to grandfather in the old dyno

@overcast For some reason I couldn't reply to your last comment but yea, absolutely, $225/month is ridiculous.

I've had a site running on Heroku that has 200-300 visitors a day for almost 2 years. I'm still on the free dyno package. I wonder if I am just below some tipping point where I would need to bump up to the non-free stuff. My site

My experience as a one man operation is that you always have to make trade offs between building something yourself (especially if you actually need to learn a new skill-set to do it) and using someone else's solution. Honestly, in gen

I definitely setup autopay as much as possible but I am exploring a single place to pay all my bills from so if I change cards, I won't have to re-enter my info in 20 different places. I've been using paypal whenever a service all

Cool, I will check out BillGuard. It seems that to pay bills through Mint you actually have to use a separate application called Mint Bills. I signed in with my Mint account but it looks like there is little to no crossover. Very weird. I a

I have a friend that uses Mint and has told me that you really have to go "all in" with Mint but then it is really helpful. He said he still feels a little nervous having a single company with all this financial information about

Also, if you have some tech creations you'd like me to share, you may post it here as well or to the twitter @notfrmthevalley.

A place for people who make tech (apps, websites, software, hardware, etc.) outside of the valley or people who are interested in tech made outside of the valley. Fire away if you have any questions about plans for the site.

I had a similar experience and I guess I am naive because I did let it bother me. Someone submitted my site to PH a couple months ago, it got up-voted 20+ times in that "upcoming" area but never was moved to the front page. I beli

If I am understanding you correctly, you are saying it's not that they want you to users to use their mobile app but the trend is towards mobile consumption so they don't want to spend as much of their resources on the web?
