30% is 16.5 Billion gallons.

OP is saying that much rain got into a reservoir that sits on top of an ancient volcanic caldera and has no rivers flowing into? Unexpectedly? and they didn’t think to stop pumping water in from the South Branch or release some water?

The math ain’t mathing.

This is gonna be a mechanical turk 100% guaranteed

reminds me of these maps from the 1800s showing how long it takes to get places from NYC by horse. http://users.humboldt.edu/ogayle/hist110/geography.html

oooh, you an play with the settings from the hamburger menu

Just to be clear that animagraff is showing specifically how a 4cycle gasoline-powered reciprocating engine works. Diesel engines account for roughly 50% of automotive vehicles in the world.

I robotC for weekend Lego NXT / EV3 classes.

"...so that means firing off a kilogram (or so) of self-replicating molecular nanotechnology which can build the infrastructure you'd want to live in (compute on) at the destination."

i just got a chill thinking we are living that exact thing in this simulation O_O

Good grief. They don't use the word 'terminated' either. They just say the positions were 'eliminated'.

"Salary can't and shouldn't be compared accross the globe." I disagree. If the hiring company is looking for the best candidates in the world, then they must be prepared to shell out comparable 'global' salaries.

I sometimes feel like i'm the only person in tech who loves driving and loves internal combustion engines.

volume control works just fine on my macbook pro

Unless a 500kg pallet of sugar falls on a person, I don't believe sugar has ever killed a single human. I know that people die from complications arising from diabetes. A quick google search shows that Saudi Arabia has the highest incidents of Diabetes of any country, more than double USA but they are not even in the top 10 sugar consumers. So, why is that? When did their diabetes problems 'start'?

I have one website with ads on it, been running it for like 6 years, generates a whopping $200 yr...

I always thought it was best-practice to never include a photo of oneself on their resume.

is the touch bar accessible to folks using screen readers?

National Geographic has an awesome video called "Challenger, The Untold Story" which highlights the communications breakdowns. google it

I've been working with http://www.snapcircuits.net/ Snap Circuits with my kids since they were 4years old. The lessons they learned there are used to this date and i think invaluable, especially now that they are trying to get things to move and light up using an arduino. I recommend checking out their kits, they can be used all the way up to HS level, heck I still like using them and showing them off to other parents.

there are trail cams that do this and more...what am i missing?

"The data was released in a format that only a computer could detect, Christinat added." does anyone know what's meant by this 'format'? USA Today http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2015/04/28/twitter-seleri...

1. Launch one profitable product 2. Finish my Arduino ultimate machine 3. Launch one new passive income source 4. Sleep better 5. More family time 6. Learn d3.js 2014 I struck out on all fronts

Fyi, if you add a + to the end of any bitly URL, you'll see stats about the link. (Logged in users can set it to private but most times they don't)

not rely that weird for the site to target keywords like that, considering their ad revenue focus. when i visit the page i see an ad for the ps4.

Can any of you younger folks tell me what the kids without smartphones do? Surely there are kids that don't own one yet or are too poor to afford one. Generally speaking, are the smartphone-less kids ostracized or is it taken in stride by their classmates?

I bought the acer chromebook for my 5yo. He loves it for playing Lego games, watching YouTube and Kahn Academy vids, as well as using code academy and getting emails from gamgam.

I borrow it for business trips and works well enough. Best laptop I ever bought.
