The only suprising thing here is that some journalist seem to assume these tests are 100% acurrate. Assume they are less than 100% accurate and many of these kind of headlines can be dismissed.

I was about to answer with right I know, how comes my kids have almost zero interest in it. I used to play entire afternoons with it, especially the Technic kind.

Not a contradiction. Voluntary exchange is central to Capitalism. Option to resist excessive marketing is within the framework. It's a cultural thing which some sub-cultures are better at then others.

All the tech and theory was already out there. There was no shortage of visionaries. Take for example Engelbart's Mother of all Presentations (1968). Paik, like many artist showed that art and poetry is in that domain. In the early day

Most planes use turbine bleed air to pressurize the cabin. This of course implies that the plane has a turbine and a cabin that can hold positive pressure. They are usually $500/h+ planes.

Sometimes. Speed of sound decreases with temperature. At any flight level above 300 speed of sound stays the same and the increases with altitude.

Started with CS/Space Engineering then had an intermission with two art degrees in Bay Aera and NY and then started doing open hardware projects. Initially multitouch stuff around the time the iPhone came out, then an open source laser

We certainly have this kind of adaptation for tribal structures. The question is how this plays out on a larger scale. BTW Jordan Peterson's latest podcast goes deep on this issue. His podcast is here: http://jordanbpeterson

You could say the frustration of interaction is already apparent. The fact I cannot cut in right after a cow is so lame yet so familiar as a Windows user of the 90s.

True. Here is the thing that works well in Austria: the ramen stage. The standard of living you can have on little income is phenomenal. Hardly a country like it. The trick is to keep all the capital in the company, pay the 25% corporate in

The term is certainly no exaggeration if you look at what an autopilot does in a plane. Keep attitude, maybe turn to next waypoint. All in all super primitive to what a Tesla does.

Always was so fascinated by this until I got my PPL. Now I just fly and wonder why I was waiting for a mystical new machine. In retrospect it was just a weird mental block. Just go fly a glider, UL or, VLA. Buckling up feels like putting on

The amount of net-saleries don't tell you much about the standard of living you will have in a certain place. The expenses can be so radically different, especially if you think of ever having a family. Also work hours differ a lot. I

It would be more interesting to compare TTH (Time To Hitler) on different websites. Not sure reddit is a contender. Maybe look over to Fox news.

I am a huge FreeCAD fan and use it quite a bit. For simple 3D printing projects I like it better than Rhino for example. Used it for the case of this oxygen system http://nortd.github.io/WaveGlide/ The thing to keep in

I am sure TAO has a rich portfolio of zero day exploits for iPhones. Still appaled how easily people took this stunt as proof the iPhone is not a surveillance end point.

Made my own as well when I was interning at an othodontist. There is not really much tech required. You can simply cut apart the gypsum model tooth by tooth and align it perfectly with wax and add space for you gum. Finally create a mold an

Either the guy hacked into the journalist's computer or the journalist is offendingly clueless about basic data hygene and does not even use transport encryption on his email.

Seems to me anybody who wants to switch to UTC can simply do this. If aviation people can already do this so can any other company that may find an advantage in it.

Having lived in the US and moved to Austria, I can say it's quite comical how few times doctors prescribe antibiotics here. It's something like 10:1. At times this is frustrating because you want the easy fix and when antibiotics

Meh. This is just such a small part of it. Where else can you get a decent piece of furniture immediately (3h round trip), be able to transport the thing single-handedly, easily fit it through doors, elevators, stair cases, car hatches and

With all the people complaining about Atom performance, I cannot confirm this. Switched from Sublime Text about two years ago and never had speed/snappiness issues. If anything Atom does quite well with gigantic files.
