This. Lazy policing is everything that is wrong. Fire everyone and have a drone fly overhead that takes a picture a minute if you don't care about human privacy.

Well I'm in. This looks great. And if I can't see your website because of java, that's fine. I have plenty of other options. This is a great tool in the box.

With data caps you are paying to be advertised to.

How long do you think before they just get some solar panels?

Well they work very hard to patrol that walled garden. And apparently famous people that could care less really like it.

That sounds awful. I think I'll give it a try.

Blackmail. I believe that is the word. Then end of life care comes along and you better own your house, because that is going to be gone after all the bills come in for end of life care.

So taking websites hostage and demanding a ransom in the form of an amp link. Thanks.

Don't let Facebook make 7 bucks a month on every user.

I guess it would be more like renting someone's fancy car for a weekend.

> Abstract In U.S. Pacific Northwest coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), stormwater exposure annually causes unexplained acute mortality when adult salmon migrate to urban creeks to reproduce. By investigating this phenomenon, we identified a highly toxic quinone transformation product of N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine) (6PPD), a globally ubiquitous tire rubber antioxidant. Retrospective analysis of representative roadway runoff and stormwater-impacted creeks of the U.S. West Coast indicated widespread occurrence of 6PPD-quinone (<0.3-19 μg/L) at toxic concentrations (LC50 of 0.8 ± 0.16 μg/L). These results reveal unanticipated risks of 6PPD antioxidants to an aquatic species and imply toxicological relevance for dissipated tire rubber residues.

This is what makes askhistorians nice. There 20 year real I think. I look forward to checking this out.

There's a great story about the police getting a call for a homeless man wandering around a super posh neighborhood. Turned out to be bob dylan, I think he might have been house hunting.

Education already does not have enough money, then these vampires come in with lock in anti competitive agreements.

Ugg. I wish that money went to teachers.

> Digital Equipment Corporation, or DEC, who began paving the way for everyone starting in 1957.

I would love to know the funding model for the next 25 years. Altavista was their latest, but it looks like they got burned on their Rainbow 100 in 1982. Took 8 years to report their first loss, and 10 years for a founder retirement. Looks like Vax was their bread and butter for a couple decades.

I love this stuff. If I smell this even close. DEC was basically funded to develop most of modern computing infrastructure, when their was none. They never really came out with icons like a PC. They just crafted the way things get structured for decades....with the funding of....?

Two phones, even two laptops and you're probably still carrying less weight then an original cellular phone with a strap.

It would be nice if they were accurate, but with my limited experience making them, I don't expect them to be. I've actually had the fact they are there screw up rendering.

Been using gimp for 20 years, every couple years I try and fail to do even the most basic stuff in photoshop. Then I give up and go back to gimp.

If I remember correctly, everyone in the company was super excited...then they came out of the prototype room and immediately canceled it.

I think it might have made people sick.

That's a fun link.

This is a great link, I've been looking for a pi project and a music server sounds really spiffy.

Suck it up and stop being a coward. If we don't break the mold no one else will. We already get everyones homeless. Nothing will change except us saving money.

We could leave chunks behind as railway stations.

Napkin math, my favorite kind of math. Love the days of the sun output part. Sure why not...only 13 days.

Thanks for the link on microcontrollers. Embedded writeups and microcontrollers are super fascinating.

Screams into void...

Where's my open source dot matrix?

Some say it fell in the 1400s when Constantinople fell, if you ask the Russian orthodox church, russia is the old rome or something. Then there's that whole catholic thing...in rome, sorta.

Did we forget that electric vehicles were some of the first sold in 1900's? Now imagine what battery tech we would have if a hundred years of development went into battery technology?

Be patient, we'll figure something awesome out.

What people tend to over look is how far a little makeup goes, when the audience is viewing the 12 to 19 inch, 360p display screen across the room.

I have a big round audio knob that is insanely handy. I can move it around wherever I'm at. A mouse and audio knob makes watching or listening to something very nice.
