Any chance the Netatmo weatherstation will be able to supply data in the future? Quite alot of them out there [1], and I would love to contribute. [1] http://www.netatmo.com/en-US/product/community/station#vie

Hook the drink cooler up with an arduino, temp sensor, power switch and an heating element and you'd be able to maintain that temperature as long as you'd like. http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2013/07/1

You are correct. You can simulate this by filling your lungs with air at 10 m under water and then rise quickly to the surface while holding your breath. It would be analog to filling your lungs with 2atm at sea level. Boom.

Breathing pressurized air in vacuum is not such a good idea.

Split the pile of application in two halves. Throw one of the halves in the trashcan. Hiring people with bad luck isn't good for business.

Seems similar to the technology demonstrated in this article [1]. However, it does seem that IndoorAtlas Ltd had a better opportunity recognition radar. [1] http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21328516.200-apps-glow...

Since 1981 the real wages have risen with 65 % in Norway, i.e. people can buy 65 % more stuff now than back in 1981. However, if the growth in buying power instead of being used to fulfill materialistic 'wants' was translated into leisure t

I guess the reason why companies with a high application volume (like Google) tend to be biased towards "top" school and using your GPA as a selection criteria, is that it is so much easier to "cut the pile in half" and still have a decent

So... what your saying is that my master thesis won't write itself by some random fluctuations after all? I might have to alter my strategy.

Surely Zynga must have negotiated some earnout agreements or contigency payments in order to mitigate the risk?

With regard to your second point, late night hackers might find f.lux useful. I have used it with success the past year and half; just be sure it is not activated while doing anything which includes a color palette. Check it out here: http

I completely agree, especially since Norway has large reserves of the stuff. One challenge though, is that uranium is also abundantly available and still much cheaper to mine than thorium. Another challenge is that it is not the fuel which

With 2 billion drawings, Omgpop possesses a valuable source of information. It would be interesting to see how different people illustrate equal words differently or equally in their illustrations. This could contribute to e.g. best practic

In my opinion, hardware buttons should be limited to only non-critical operations or operations with limited usage frequency (which may be an argument to why the button may be unnecessary in the first place). A button such as the back-butto

This would have to be constrained to consumers experienced with flying RC planes. Imagine the number of planes crashing due to the incompetency of the operator if anyone could rent an RC plane over the internet. However, I really like the i

In countries or areas with a cold climate the argument of energy conversion is less significant as most of the energy consumption is used for heat anyway. To those advocating that LED bulbs will last longer, you might find this interesting:

I totally agree. Still, a discovery so profound as first contact must have some impact to their belief. But then again, my guess is that when this discovery is made, the larger part of the world are secularists.

I do not agree that it is completely irrelevant when including the possibilities of life at a higher intellectual level. It would still put religion in a difficult position; if God created humans, he must have created aliens. At what intell

I have always been curious as to how religion will tackle proof of alien life. Do aliens get to go to heaven?

The easiest way to bootstrap is enlisting for a couple of courses at uni. That way, you get US $16,600 in financial support from the government per year. If you pass the exams, half of that is converted in to a grant, whereas the rest is in

Reminds me of the Citigroup reports on plutonomy that was allegedly leaked. The reports give an interesting, and to some degree offensive, look into the mindset of the plutocrats -- that is, the richest of the rich http://dl.dropbox.com/u/
