Works in Firefox for me, but much much slower than Chrome.

Here's a graph showing how long it would take to read the ToS of some prominent companies: https://i.redd.it/j6cd57dbrga61.png

EU: According to a directive passed 2006, a minimum of six months and at most 24 months. But that directive was ruled invalid and anulled in 2014. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive

How does it compare with flexsearch? It claims to be the fastest, smallest, prettiest search library in town. https://github.com/nextapps-de/flexsearch

It works if the page is a PWA with offline support. But no, JSPaint doesn't seem to be one :/

You could probably use a local caching proxy if your love for MSPaint is true and pure.

Download and unzip NW.js, create a file called package.json with the following text:

  { "name": "JSPaint", "main": "https://jspaint.app/" }

Place it in the extracted folder, then start nw.

Hypersane sounds a little smug, but it feels close to something.

Like, there seems to be a difference between how smart a person is, and being [effective? rational? non-reactive? introspective?].

It feels like there's a spectrum of to which extent people are programmed by, and are reacting to, their environment. A spectrum that might be separate from how smart they are. Give them a text-book or an IQ-test and they'll do great, give them the news and they'll ineffectually berate and hate each-other, and so on.

So while a sane person might have a common social programming, an insane persons programming would be corrupted/deviant.

And a "hypersane" person would be someone who is more able to see their own (and others) programming, and to a greater extent be able to opt-out of some of it?

Maybe there are better words for it.

The effect when watching it on your phone (with headphones) in the YouTube app is really neat, with the 3D audio and orientation tracking.

You can't earn money by making things for people that have no money. We need to solve that first.

Wheelchair Deathmatch. Sounds fun, I would totally play that in VR.

"Probably the best-known test to see if someone was a witch was the swimming test Basically, if you found someone you suspected of being an old crone, you’d drag them to a pond and chuck them in. If they sank, they’re were innocent (and probably dead) but if they floated they were guilty…and quickly executed."

Winamp still has a lite version that looks and behaves like the 2.x player.

I think you will probably see lower rents, when they remove the housing benefits. At least if housing benefits are implemented the same way as in Sweden. When I was a student, the state payed for the part of the rent that was between €300-€450. So when I chose which apartment I wanted, I obviously chose the more expensive one, since I had no incentive to do otherwise. The people to owned the student apartments eventually caught on, and raised the price of all student apartments to around €440. (not the exact numbers, just to illustrate the point)

My math skills are not good enough solve this, I realized after trying for 30 min. I was happy I managed to solve it with good at least! Here is a JavaScript brute-force solution: http://jsfiddle.net/e88xy75f/15/

There are significantly bigger problems than those, but if you want to make money you have to solve problems that rich[0] people have, which mainly seems to be boredom.

The people with the biggest problems are the people with the least money. You can't save them with apps, but you could help them with money made by making apps. Not that most will though, if they ever make it big.

[0] Rich is a relative term. Got enough to eat and access to the internet? Compared to most humans, you're relatively rich.

Absolutely! The first thing I really missed when trying the Oculus Rift demos was my hands, you really want to reach out and grab/push things. Leap Motion seems useless for navigating Windows, perfect for VR.

I'd bet that the next big technological revolution will occur when the next generation of batteries hit the market: http://www.extremetech.com/computing/129299-silicon-nanotube...

Electric quadrocopters today have pretty limited range, with a flight time of about 30 minutes. You could do some pretty neat stuff if they lasted 5 hours.

Not to mention what it will mean to regular airplanes, cars and mobile technology. We'd might even start to see some futuristic weaponry, not that it would be particularly positive.

According to a video on memoto.com it stops taking pictures if it's placed in your pocket. I'm guessing it could be implemented by just throwing away the mostly black images anyway.

A Swedish e-bay type of service recently got in trouble with the press for allowing private sellers of guns to post their phone numbers in the ads.

The reasoning behind this was that criminals could use the phone number to figure out where the sellers lived, and go steal their guns.

Funny how these things differ between places.

I've always had trouble finishing projects, no matter if it's for school, work or hobby. When I run out of interesting problems, I just stop caring.

The easiest way I'm able to finish things is by working with others. People I care about, and who in turn cares about getting the work done. I.e. caring by proxy. [1]
