We often fear salmonella in meat but our blindspot is often salmonella in salad and veggies. Be careful out there! https://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/outbreaks-active.html

I totally agree. The A&W burger in Canada is superior to other fast-food chains hands down. It seems to be A&W in name only.

In this post-apocalyptic scenario I think the range would be secondary to using the battery for day-to-day living. The RV could have solar and keep the battery topped off all the time.

Folks understand L1 and L5. The levels between are such a blur and mix-match of things that I don't think anything is even accomplished having these levels. I agree with you, from what I have seen Tesla is far ahead and rapidly progres

I would love to see re-certification of "professional" drivers. Almost daily I encounter taxi or semi-truck operators driving at the limit of what is acceptable.

This is very exciting for the future of Autopilot. I thought it was amazing already. I can't wait to see what they have in store.

Really liked the article in the first issue exploring the solar powered battery. Very cool to see something on solar power when it was just the start of a cool idea and knowing where it is today (seemingly also just the start).

Quicktime Streaming Server comes to mind. But holy-hell it was a pain to manually configure and use.

I haven't tried Go programming. I really like all these alternate programming languages/tools coming to all these platforms. Very cool. So many things to learn, so little time. However, I like Ruby. In that department, RubyMotion

I hope the Americans don't use this as an excuse to stick with their old school system. I guess in one way they are closer to the Kingdom of England than us Canadians are.

I never considered this technology could be used during a disaster. That is a brilliant use case that could save lives. No phone, no power, trapped under rubble this could be your lifeline.

Scary stuff. Personally my wife and I have decided it's time to get serious about creating a disaster kit. The "big one" could hit any time. Hope nobody was hurt in Chile or South America.

Very cool. Been looking at adding chat discovery into a BLE (iBeacon) app I've working on. Any idea how it discovers other devices and establishes a connection?

So true. Microsoft used to be only about productivity software. Then they became a game company. I see a lot of parallels with Facebook. A social company becoming a game company. Xbox is to Microsoft like Oculus is to Facebook.

Oh god no. I might be just too old. But back in my day Microsoft would buy a company and kill their product. They were referred to as the "Evil Empire" back then, they'd consume companies left, right and center. I still have

If the bender neglected to tell the observers to wear eye protection and the unthinkable happened, they should be held accountable. A ruler in the eye is no way to start a Monday.
