Those infrastructure projects don't sell Tesla batteries at scale, making future Tesla battery packs cheaper, making future Tesla cars cheaper.

Yes. For example, literally millions of people in India have cellphones and use them exclusively for SMS. These same people will likely not have reliable access to a computer for full-fledged e-mail.

Wifi operates in unlicensed spectrum and transmitters and receivers are required to handle interference in this space. Is it still jamming if it's not a licensed station doing the broadcasting? </devilsadvocate> ...I suppose

True 'nuf. I suppose I meant "selling" in terms of promoting, not dollar bills.

I think you'll find that there are plenty of companies making lots of money selling services on top of OSM's "inconsistent" data. Mapbox sells an extremely powerful map styling system, geocoding/searching, and routi

All that empty space in the capsule will likely be filled with compartments for cargo, making it cramped again.

One of my first memories of being on the Internet was visiting Yahoo's "Devices Connected To The Internet" category every day and checking every one of them out. In addition to the coffee pots and soda machines mentioned in t

It's funny how much they subtitle their post here "Content, not Chrome", yet in the most recent version of Chrome they removed the ability to disable the "People" menu. The bug for this [0] has been marked wontfix,

Let's say I didn't want to use the ImageNet or CaffeNet pre-trained models but wanted to train my own model (say, of thousands of images of sofas, leopards, jaguars, and cheetahs); are there any tutorials that walk through the pro

All of the addresses come from "authoritative" datasets (i.e. from local or state governments) so we're assuming them to be correct.

If you're interested in making both forward and reverse geocoding better, please consider paying attention to a project I started and help maintain called OpenAddresses: http://openaddresses.io The goal is to collect addres

I'm confused how this is collaborative. If a friend sends me a fiddle.md link and I change the content of the document, how do they become aware of my changes? Do I send them my link back?

One feature that would be helpful is to parse various formats of dependency specification (Node's package.json, pip's requirements.txt, Maven, etc.) and use that to build dependency lists so that I can (a) get notified of updates

On the contrary, I just visited in June and it was a miserable experience. 2/3 of the museum was closed and the part that was open was packed full despite the rather strict entrance timing that they seemed to be using. The story of his

There isn't really a process at all. The barrier to entry is so high that those dedicated enough to map usually make it through with good intentions. Mapping is really hard, and even with all the work we (OSM) have done to make it easi

But it isn't just a population map. You can see where users have imported data (e.g. the parts of Canada that are lit up in small squares is CANVEC data) and you can see the relative brightness of the map in Europe vs. United States --

The Vine you link to isn't necessarily a problem with Android itself. Sure, Android runs on several different devices from lots of different vendors that all use different hardware (which is a good thing), but the compass sensor shown

The point you make is valid, but not unique to Google or its products. People yearned for WWDC tickets (a conference about how to use Apple services and platforms) and stand in line for the privilege of getting the latest and greatest Apple

This functionality was moved to the Google Plus app. At least on Android, you can fire up the Google+ app and go to "Locations". Invite people to see your location and ask them to let you view their location, etc.

For it to be really useful, you have to let Google know a bit more about yourself: you have to enable Search History and Location History. I think there's a separate option for access to your Gmail, too. Assuming you enable all this, y

Who should get to use OSM data then? If you don't want to see Google or Apple use OSM data, then who do you think should? At this point the only users of OSM data are creating differently-colored maps based on OSM data. No one has atte

My theory is that most of the comedy shows (The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, etc.) make jokes out of showing the opposite end of extreme viewpoints or stories that show up on news. You might be laughing at the absurdity, but you're

Nowadays, the most reliable way to see (at least more of) the facts on television is by watching comedy shows. "Real" television news programs are in the business of advertising to their viewers, not informing them. How can you bl
