Instagram might not became that big, but it definitely was on track to become somewhat big, that's why Facebook bought it, in fear of competition. Same, Youtube might go down, but the idea was out of the box now, someone else would do

Not always, if rebars are pre-tensioned before concrete solidifies. So the rebar is always under tension. Pretty common in prefab parts, like bridge bars.

Well, technically, you can use cement instead of mortar (wet, but without sand). As far as I understand, sand is more like a neutral filler, to save money on cement. Various other things can be used to fill as well, like gravel. Sometimes e

Kotlin has it, but only if the function accepts the function argument, e.g. `foo({println("hello")})` is the same as `foo {println("hello")}` (larger example in my other comment above). You can also make it on no-args fu

You can make that in Kotlin, e.g.: `3.mph` or `(-45..45).deg` for ranges. with definition like: val Double.mph: Speed get() = Speed.mph(this) data class Speed(val ms: Double) companion object { fun mph(mph: Do

Absolutely damned is combination of Kotlin's several features: 1. Lambda functions can be defined with `{}`. 2.`foo(bar, somefunc)` is the same as `foo(bar) somefunc`. In other words, if the last parameter is a function, it can be prov

You can download phone prefixes with prices from them, and also set max price for an SMS (won't work if they charge just a little amount and you send thousand requests of course).

Maybe it would mean "no go" to colonization at all, who knows. For example, when all oceans boil out on Earth in 500m years or so, it might become useless for colonization. Natural resources are way easier to get from asteroids&#x

From my past experience, both Google and Apple fervently defend their built-in caller app, and really-really don't like any other app making regular voice calls. Part of that is that they don't want cloning (they clearly state tha
