I do use it for my open source projects (which are then used for my research/work). Things like this (custom eyetracker for glass) http://www.wearscript.com/en/latest/eyetracking.html and this custom case fo

Replicator 2, first few weeks I didn't have any good prints from thingiverse (their built in ones worked fine) until I realized that the print temp was too low 185C vs 230C. I had followed what the reviews said for my third party fila

Our http://wearscript.com project for Glass and wearables has some similarities to phonegap (we called it GlassGap at one point) but has different design goals (e.g., live coding, pub/sub communications between devices, etc

It's designed to be out of your way, when you get a message for example it plays a soft chime that you can hear but nothing pops up. For something to come up you either have to tap it or tilt your head to see what the notification is.

That's not what I'm saying at all (quite the opposite, I specifically said I don't doubt his experience). I also am glad that people voice their experiences good/bad with tech, that's what I'm basing my opinion

The plausibility of an argument isn't a good measure to use because that's exactly the problem I have with this reporting, they come up with a plausible narrative 'a priori' that fits people's pre-conceptions and th

Definitely not my experience, I have no such eyestrain or headaches and this is actually my first time hearing of someone having had this experience. I've heard of people having such problems with video games too but I feel like it&#x

Can't agree more (focusing on microsec vs nights/weekends). It's not an excuse to say they need to train/test their algos, they have entirely separate machines for that. For any other tech company live rollouts are a f

I think this was a mistake. Like others have said it's a waste of their resources and you gain basically nothing in comparison. Even outside of electricity, having to bug the IT guy to look at the activity and taking up resources that

The face recognition thing actually makes sense since the camera quality isn't that great and it's fixed focus. You'd have to get unreasonably close to someone to actually get it to work. I've tried, it just needs time

I've been using hadoop for 4 years now (author of hadoopy.com) so I'll chime in. I'll state the use cases that Hadooop/MapReduce (and to a close approximation the ecosystem around them) were developed for so that we&#x2

Totally agree. Bots vs humans is not an issue of security at all in a cryptographic sense (which that phrase refers to). For this particular task all we have are tricks that have practical value. It isn't even clear if the problem i
