That you have to log in to an account use? What logging and data mining are they performing? not advised for anyone that has access to secure or sensitive data.
Oh you meant tech architecture, not interesting buildings.
Too bad they never finished it
soil science influenced agriculture, watch 'kiss the ground' on netflix.
*Unidentified Falling Object
There are so many apps that I wish the developers would stop ‘adding features’ to and simply maintain with changing os’s and security whatnot. But sales people want forever new features to justify charging for a new version in an arms race against competitor software. Abandoning the idea that software should be a tool and promoting software is a service is incredibly problematic.
Does not apply to tech interviews.
I can’t even start to count how many things came from literature film and art. The tech industry isn’t really about inventing new things, its about making things that were previously ideas into reality and profiting by putting it into everybody’s hands. Sure new things are invented along the way, but overall? Hard pressed to think of things tech created that wasn’t previously science fiction, or taking some real world thing and putting it on a computer screen, or improving it by making it more accessible / portable / available to everyone.
Augmented Reality/ Virtual Reality. Concepts came from scifi writers back as early as the 30’s and video artists and scientists started making working experiences in the 60’s & 70’s
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Intelligent enough to realize being productive is pointless?

unless you go by the actual release date of dec 1995..
"First appeared 1995; 24 years ago" Wikipedia who's right?
Wikipedia says it came out in 95..?
Not sure if it's exactly pertinent, but If I remember correctly tesla recommends draining your battery to 20% then charging back up to 80% when driving on a road trip, but this if mostly for speed of charging. The car battery charges fastest in this half-full range, charging past 80% to 100% is a exponential rate like blowing air into an already full balloon, it gets harder as you reach 100%.. to their recommendation is not necessarily about battery health but more likely about reducing the speed of your mid-trip recharge.
I keep mistaking the headlines for ISIS as being about the spy agency from the tv show Archer..
just curious; what evidence do they have that you saved any data in the first place?

Now that google charges for google apps for small business, how do people go about hosting just an email address at their own domain on the cheap?Many of the services I've seen (rackspace, fusemail) require $10 per month. Google apps for small business is approx $50 per year, There's got to be something better / cheaper for just email. (ideally sub $20 / year)I'd like to find a reliable, well...
