so from what I understand, the air bends around a surface the way water sticks to the side of a teapot. The nozzle design has a "step", a little cutout at the top of the curve closest to where the air is exiting from. This little step causes a small vortex, or eddy, like in a river. The vortex causes an area of lower pressure which bends the stream of air. You can clearly see the exhaust nozzles on "fig-1" of the declassified documents:

>why use OSM instead of nokia maps?
would they use it if it's better than nokia in terms of local data?
> who are waiting?
This is what I was asking. Their webgl seems to be a big leap over google maps and I haven't seen it beyond the webgl demo. I wasn't sure if they were using this technology beyond this demonstration.
Bing has added a open street maps layer, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is in the next iteration of the Nokia 3d maps (http://maps3d.svc.nokia.com/webgl/index.html) which does not currently have street names or local listings. My question is, are they waiting for webgl to be on mobile?
But the point is... does the line even exist? Why should a line that does not produce optimal results exist? Wouldn't you be able to come up with a better articulated answer to a question if you see the responses of all your peers first? The problem is well then we can't grade you because we can't separate you from your peers. But then why go to school in the first place? To get affirmation or to learn?
What is the path for this research to be developed into new products, and can new businesses be built around this technology? When can we start hacking with these materials outside labs in garages to disrupt the big materials companies? I these questions are the ones HN readers want answered.
I think MSFT is starting to get a little obsessed with the boxes - excuse me "tiles". I went to the store opening today in Boston, and I was pretty impressed. Very clean, bright, lots of screens.. made the Apple store across the street seem very conservative. We'll see if it ends up being a hit, but it is definitely standing alone as it's own unique store experience.
I feel bad that there is a large and unanticipated tariff that is affecting him, but he basically built his business on the promise that he was an American made company, and it turns out they do a critical part of the work in Hong Kong.
The problem is people do not take the time to rate products (movies in this case) unless they are notably good or notably bad. I believe Rotten Tomatoes has the most realistically accurate system for rating movies. Either you think someone should see the movie, or shouldn't. If the majority of people are on the fence, then it will get a rating around 50%.
I could see myself editing a presentation, but I agree that I'd be more likely to use the iPad app if I had it on the web first. TeuxDeux actually has an interesting pricing model. They have a web app for free, but then the iPhone app is paid. That might be something worth considering.
Not necessarily. What Tesla is proposing is a better car. The Model S is safer, more comfortable, and more practical. The demand is clearly there, at this point it is a question of if Tesla can deliver.
Car2go, which is part of Daimler, is doing this in some cities with their Smart-car car sharing program (some cities use both electric and gas Smart cars). Tesla technology is in the Smart EV's.
The experience is not only necessary for survival, but also will lead to new opportunities. Once there is a market for interplanetary transport, experience will lead to innovations that we can't think of today. One huge example that is already being explored is asteroid mining. Add the business case to the point you made about our species becoming more resilient by turning multi-planetary, and there the case for Mars is strong.
Me too. it appears that the author is talking about the author's friends' startup, not his own. This doesn't seem to be about actual work habits but the perceived work habits of friends that go to meetups and try to act all "cool".
My motorola atrix has a fingerprint reader to unlock it, and it is one of my favorite features. Very fast, relatively accurate, unlock my phone without looking at the screen.
But at what point is the significant increase in speed returning only a marginal increase in customer satisfaction? If the experience is the same in terms of usable speed, then it will come down to what is cheaper and easier (which will probably be whichever is more open).
Maybe he's not a figurehead, and maybe this whole internet thing isn't a movement, but he sure is taking all the heat for something. Much respect to him for fighting back in the way he knows how to best, eurotrash techno. Oh yeah!
