It'll take 17 minutes for all the people to cross if they all start on the same side: start: 1,2,7,10| 1: 7,10|1,2 = 2 minutes 2: 1,7,10|2 = 1 minute 3: 1|2,7,10 = 10 minutes 4: 1,2|7,10 = 2 minutes

A blank query string works just as well too. Just add "?" and skip the other 7 characters.

I would suggest reading through these articles. Brewing and Food trucks each have their pros and cons, but there's a lot more to both of them than you may think. Brewery: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7375043 Fo

Any query string works. So, "?s=1" or "?x=1" for instance. If you're feeling lazy.

This system doesn't (currently) solve the problem it was created to solve, which is to create a system that can uniquely encode locations that also produces phonetically coherent names. The problem is, by encoding the location so preci

I came here to point out this exact same thing. Why use vans and trucks to re-balance stations when you can have people re-balance them? Not only can you can have dynamic pricing based upon stations and times, imagine having a feature where

I did a bit of amateur sleuthing(googling) out of curiosity. First, let's lay out the hard facts: 1. The work-for-hire occurred at least two years ago. This would peg the time frame at roughly early-mid 2012. 2. Pigeonly started out

Of course. One possible source could be a family lawyer or descendants. I could imagine this being a viable method within 100 years, but beyond that, it might not be so reliable. The first method (contracts) is dependent upon people. The se

A legally binding contract might do it. Or, there might be some fund that accrues interest over time to pay for the procedure. If neither of those options exist, then I suppose the first people to be revived would be in the name of science

Couldn't it be solved by only taking a picture of the changed columns of the calendar instead of the entire three months? I'm not familiar with how you're processing the picture, but it might be possible to identify the colum

Can the synchronizer differentiate between single block and double block heights? Also, another cool level of granularity (if needed) could be using 1x2 or 1x1 lego blocks to add more information that's easily seen in the photo. Not on

It's too bad they didn't split up the keyboard. Putting your fingers on the home keys looks like it would basically put your right hand over your crotch.

"Bleed" is fine. He's referring to both the past and present. You can replace "bleed" with "ooze", if that helps.

The NPR article[1] gives some more information on what it is. Apparently, it's ultrasonic piezoelectric charging. My guess is that it's using a resonance frequency approach to vibrate the crystals. 1: http://www.npr.org

The first three articles you linked to refer to commercial space, not residential space. I'd argue that they don't support your argument since I believe we're talking about residential spaces. Moreover, densely packed commerc

You're taking the sentence out of context. Here's the entire paragraph you quoted: "Here’s what he means. The way suburban development usually works is that a town lays the pipes, plumbing, and infrastructure for housing deve

The article isn't pointing out that all suburbs are unsustainable. It's talking about how treating the suburbs as something they are not (a higher population density area, like a city) leads to infrastructure that is inappropriate

I'm confident that incorporating pictures of the same place at different times/days (like Google Map's wayback machine) would boost the accuracy, but I'm not too sure how you would need to change the model.

I tried editing the article to make it more readable (and for fun), but failed after the fourth paragraph. I realized the author is addressing two audiences, the managers and the developers, and forgot to take that into account in my editin

Based on these examples, I believe the proper way to draw up the contract would be to write "exactly" instead of "no more than". "I will be fed lobster exactly 3 times a week". It safeguards against those farfe

In this case, it's more like the Bystander Effect[1], which is related to the tragedy of the commons. Both can be the result of what's called the "Diffusion of Responsibility" [2]. Specifically, the game model this is fo

The thing is, the reasons why Airbnb is illegal (e.g. the zoning laws that the parent mentioned) aren't really subject to shifts in cultural attitudes. It boils down to city planning and structuring (the flow of traffic, the layout of
