Would it be possible to use this on the server to create complicated PDF files for download (react -> sketch -> pdf), without using something like this current process (react dom -> html, css -> phantomjs -> pdf)?

There was lots of new recently about Guinness moving away from isinglass so that should be vegan friendly soon too! In wine they also use egg whites to filter it, my dad get some kind of allergic reaction from these too so we stick to vegan

You can get an aircraft to circle and act like a low orbit geostationary tower, while a balloon is going to travel wherever the wind takes it.

I have had Tinnitus for a long time and recently I have been seeing a specialist about it. One important point is that Tinnitus is a symptom and not a cause, so if you think Tinnitus is causing you to be depressed because it's a consta

I really don't see why investors would be too interested, but good luck to you anyway. My company was going to build a $50mil solar farm in Nigeria and we couldn't find enough interest in funding anything like this. It seems like

Thanks for this recommendation... I will definitely check out the book myself. I went off the rails a bit and tried something complex in my final year of university with a sensor input based system using emotions to try control behaviour.

There are exceptions to every rule, in Zimbabwe you could have 24/7 electricity and a fibre optic internet connection in some areas, and I can't even get fibre to my place in South Africa.

Wow, teaching a robot morals by letting it watch tv seems like the silliest idea. TV would be such a bad source of good moral behaviour, otherwise it wouldn't be good tv.

I don't think storing permissions in the JWT is really a good idea, and it might makes the token size a lot larger. I am not even sure if I should store the user_id in the JWT. I just implemented this on my site api and stuck the persi

I think it is still quite expensive and there is a lot of latency when doing a voice call. The solution works for rural telecoms in areas like Zambia, where it is difficult to connect a fibre or microwave system. The current rural telecom

Interesting, Joe Rogan's podcast is the only one I happen to listen to that has adverts, and they seem like they always have a Squarespace sponsorship. In this case it's 5 mins of rogan talking about his sponsors and then 3 hours

I dunno, I don't think podcasts ever left. All the podcasts I listen to still ask for donations to help keep the lights on, it became easier now that most of them have started using patreon.com. I would much rather donate than listen t

I don't know why you would want to use javascript... have a look at this cinder space simulator, it supports oculus and should be easy to convert the cinder app to a screensaver - not to sure about a moving desktop background. http:&#

I think one of the best examples I know of is Cape Town, but it is definitely a microcosm compared to the rest of Africa. There is an initiative to create a silicon valley environment with angel investors as well, http://www.sili

I am not a fan of the desktop version but the BB10 version works perfectly for me... Are you sure the software is up to date?

by 1rae 13y ago
For new users perhaps it is a bit of a leap for them to take, but don't you think they can overlook this fact because they know they are working with a new operating system? Once you understand how the BB10 OS works its nice to use. Th

In Johannesburg we have a whole lot of deep mine shafts that are no longer being used, and one of the main ideas for reusing them is to turn them into hydroelectric power stations. During the night when the electricity is cheaper, the water

I think it has more to do with Ubiquitous computing. Turning everything into a potential computer or sensor and then connecting them all together into a giant invisible network. Shaping the physical world to be more intelligent or interacti

I got some feedback, I'm not sure how useful it would be, but the first option is you could get a job position there, as you mentioned; or join a research group. It is apparently very difficult to get in by yourself, so you would have to fo
