It was marketed backwards. It should have been sold as an Amazon branded security system first and then as a way to deliver packages second. $250 for a smart lock front door and a security camera is a bit high but not too bad. Paying $250 so Amazon can drop off packages inside your home, not so much.
They have been talking about putting a space elevator on the Moon. Maybe by 2020. I read we already have plastics strong enough to do this in the 1/8th gravity of the moon. Go Liftport!
I remember from the Snowden leaks that the antivirus software that the NSA hated the most was Comodo.
CIA, described as: “a colossal pain in the posterior.” “It literally catches everything until you tell it not to, including standard windows services (say what?!?),” the documents state.
It's how fast you stop not how fast you are going that matters in accidents. You just have to have a longer amount of time to come to a complete stop. Slow deceleration = walk away. Fast deceleration = ketchup
Trains
Increased weight so a panic stop would require a mile or two of open track.
Multiple cars so effects like oscillations and jackknifing are an issue
Track open to sky so debris and weather are a factor
Tracks run both ways and there is also passing of priority trains using sidings.
Hyperloop
Low weight but high speed so a panic stop would still require a mile or two of open track
One car at a time so more individual trains to account for at a single time
Closed system that needs to be maintained to achieve the low pressure
Dedicated one way tracks make routing easier

Since it is now for sale. What is the cost of getting all of the ISP information for every Congressman and Senator? An curious citizenry want's to know.

Does it create media. "No"
Does it aggregate media and show it to you, "Yes"
I guess it depends on what you call other news aggregators. Slashdot, Newsmap, Phys.org
I think the median line is Gawker which is probably considered a Media Company although most of the articles are news about links to other news sites.
Merge the towns, if the barrier to having broadband is the name of your town then merge them. Soon all communities in North Carolina will be called Wilson City.
There are also people who died of smallpox who were buried in places where they would be below the permafrost line or at a high enough altitude it is always below freezing. Removing the samples from the NIH and the CDC would not remove all of the permanently frozen people in the Yukon, Siberia or high mountain ranges.
Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the NON-existence of God.
The argument goes like this:
`I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'
`But,' says Man, `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.'
`Oh dear,' says God, `I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly disappears in a puff of logic.
`Oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing. - Douglas Adams "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"
I like this idea for creating ground or processed meat products: hamburgers, brats, chicken strips, chicken nuggets, bacon, jerkey. I don't think we will get to a point where you are lab-growing a pork chop, a steak, or an entire turkey leg.
Would these products be kosher? vegan? Is it still an animal product if it doesn't come from an animal?
I thought that TouchID could be bypassed by a fake finger with a fingerprint printed on it. (Source: YouTube)
Making someone unlock a phone with their own finger seems like an unnecessary step.
The FBI was able to force Apple to hand over the keys to the iPhone 1,2,3,4... because they had a valid warrant from the FISA court. The same thing that also happened to LavaBit. Apple responded by creating a security system where even they don't have the keys. So the FBI is using the All Writs Act to force Apple to create a way to force update the phone to a less secure version. Once this software exists the FBI can go back to the FISA court to force Apple to hand this over too.
The people who drive trains are called Engineers as well.
I think that when I was at school there were both Computer Scientists and Computer Engineers. CompSci did programming and CompE built computers and other electrical devices.

I always heard it was the same basic acronym as BFG the gun from Doom.
there are only 10 types of people in the world those who understand binary and those who don't.
I would prefer a neurons/gram or neurons/ounce because the Blue Whale probably has the most cortical neurons.

There are so many other good fantasy series out there why is the default always Tolkien?

I needed a good laugh today.
"I'm pretty sure my last words are going to be 'Hold my beer and watch this'"
I think that they are talking about the Google home being able to use ChromeCast to connect to the TV. Which is over WiFi and not Bluetooth.
I'll believe the free calling when it comes out.
