Ditto. I'm also watching the video archive for the Compilers class from Stanford and it's been really helpful to understand more of the underlying structure.
If you can get your employer to help pay for it, you could have the students work with Raspberry Pis or Arduino boards, and then they can take it home afterwards. Students love free stuff and being able to continue to tinker around with it after the workshop would enable this to be an invaluable learning experience.
It blocks off certain sites for a specified limit of time, and there's no way around it other than to wait for the timer to finish. Free, and much less painful.
Well...according to the article: "And because Wikipedia entries for films are created months—if not years—in advance of a release date, those fluctuating parameters could make possible for a course-correction for a floundering film far in advance of its premiere, according to the study."
Not that I completely buy into what they're saying, but that explains the context of the study.
I used to work near a retirement community. 55+, nearby golf course and supermarket shopping mall. Most of the residents had electric golf carts instead of cars and they worked just fine. And that's all this is - a glorified electric golf cart.
But it's a glorified electric golf cart that folds!
"when Eos asked Zeus to make Tithonus immortal, she forgot to ask for eternal youth. Tithonus indeed lived forever
'but when loathsome old age pressed full upon him, and he could not move nor lift his limbs, this seemed to her in her heart the best counsel: she laid him in a room and put to the shining doors. There he babbles endlessly, and no more has strength at all, such as once he had in his supple limbs.'" (Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite)
It's going to take some time. Bitcoin has only been around since 2009. I feel pretty comfortable about doing online banking and using PayPal now, but it took a while to get to that stage.
Even before the age of the Internet, there were problems with banking and check scams (ever see "Catch Me If You Can"?). Nothing is ever going to be 100% secure. There's going to be pros and cons to any financial system.
Hopefully Jeff Bezos is going to do something about this, now that he owns the Washington Post (sounds like really old news already). But it's not coming off to a good start, that's for sure.
Pretty nifty--this could be potentially useful in backpacking trips where you'll be without power for a while, but then there's not going to be much radio signals out there either... So probably this kind of technology would benefit urban road warriors the most.
Would be cool to see this make its way into consumer gadgets, but it doesn't appear that this would be ideal for voice calls though.

That's a great place for a datacenter!
29 hours over 4 time zones... that's another way to get jet lagged.
I'm a robotics engineer. For me, it's creating jobs.
That's great! ...until they make robots that fix themselves: http://www.despair.com/adaptation.html

And is the market really going to reach 100 million self-driving cars by 2035?
Perhaps you haven't heard of Burning Man?
"What do you want?"
"Inception. Is it possible?"

Good point. Smash its fender with your Armadillo's rear as you try to unpark. Not the best solution, but I'd imagine it would be quite satisfying.
Predictions about something 22 years into the future aren't worth the paper they aren't printed on.
Yep, because we'll be going paperless by then.
There's also the problem of, "OK Glass, take a video of that scene over to my side..."
Make sure you ask for eternal youth.
"when Eos asked Zeus to make Tithonus immortal, she forgot to ask for eternal youth. Tithonus indeed lived forever 'but when loathsome old age pressed full upon him, and he could not move nor lift his limbs, this seemed to her in her heart the best counsel: she laid him in a room and put to the shining doors.

And the rest of us are just zombies.
Yes, I'm getting old and jaded and find less and less of Internet hilarity to be all that funny any more.
Perhaps you've come to the wrong place.
I'm reading this while wearing my three wolf moon shirt. It's the best shirt in the world, if only it glowed in the dark.
They have one now: http://shop.themountain.me/three-wolf-moon-glow-t-shirt/
If you have to provide two weeks notice in order to get a "glowing reference," it's probably way too late for that already.
Cut your losses and move on. Find connections within your network to get another job. Do better at your next job.
And we're taking their land to build the datacenter. History repeats itself...

True, and even if it wasn't for the shuttles, people probably will complain about tech workers having the option to telecommute.
