Those characters and stories were not (substantially) created by Disney though.

Everyone else /should/ be able to make those same stories in similar media. Disney /really/ needs to be more proactive about using their brand name's trademark within advertising as the consumer protection measure as that is the intended to function of trademarks.

That, BTW, is what is stopping others from making a Disney(tm)'s Mickey Mouse(tm) in steamboat willy(c, expired); and not stopping others from making a more generic 'mouse piloting a steam boat' movie.

tl;dr the path he has chosen involves one of the toughest problems in battery science, which is how to make an anode out of pure lithium or sodium metal. If it can be done, the resulting battery would have 60% more energy than current lithium-ion cells. That would instantly catapult electric cars into a new head-to-head race with combustion. Over the years, numerous scientists have tried and failed—it was lithium metal, for instance, that kept setting Stan Whittingham’s lab on fire at Exxon in the 1970s.

It's a very interesting profile/historical review of this great scientist and his work, but if you were curious about the actual headline, the lede was buried almost at the end.

This sounds like the same experience people have with their out-of-warranty german cars. Either take it to the stealership or buy diagnostic system made by non-VW guys. Even if you have the diagnostic system to read codes from ECU, you are left wih testing many sensors: whether the sensor needs to be replaced or cleaned. But one has to know the details of resistance etc to test the said sensor.

And these sensors are not cheap. They cost more than a tire!!
Also note that dealing with family photos on iCloud might be a pain/impossible. I spent time trying to figure out a good way to pool our photos from multiple devices, but ended up settling on using Dropbox and Carousel.

There were some hacky work-arounds to have multiple Apple IDs logged in per phone (one for apps, one for iCloud), but I couldn't find any information on something like selective sync for our laptops and iCloud drive.

Between Carousel for automatic uploads from phones, being able to view all of our photos easily via the web from our laptops, and being able to exclude full-res files from our machines via selective sync, I think it is the most robust option right now.

If anyone has details about being able to share full iCloud photo libraries, I'd be interested to hear.
That's in the ballpark for monthly membership fees. ~$10/month.
Because this article is misleading. Apparantly, Koch has been subsidized by the german government thus felt no need to be used the FSFE. Secondly, gpg isn't really used for enterprise email, SMIME is or commercial php.

There's a history of Koch that is pretty ugly. He tried to start a consulting company with said government money and seems to have a "pay me to fix bugs" attitude. This breathless "omg must donate now" sentiment dominant here is highly questionable.

gpg should be under and funded by FSFE not via begdonations and german government funding.
Indeed it is. I thought I might have been shadow-banned or something, but good to hear that I'm not alone!

As much as I love Dropbox and think Carousel looks nice, I'm finding it difficult to justify in comparison to Google Drive+Docs combo and/or the whole Apple ecosystem.

Dropbox has tough sledding against the level of integration that Google & Apple offer.

Carousel isn't going to cut it. I know they bought Mailbox and I think some startups offering nice documentation creation tools, but I'm wondering if they CAN do enough?

People say don't worry about the bumbling incumbents, but when it comes to files I'm not so sure. Anyone know how Dropbox is going to win?

It's not a totally unreasonable complaint given that Apple has a history when it comes to security breaches.

My biggest complain is that they are keeping the old 5GB iCloud limit. It's 2015. 5GB is absolutely nothing in terms of both capacity and cost. People pay $700-$800 for their phones and upwards of $1000 for their MacBooks and are still made to shell out for anything more than an negligible amount of free storage?

I mean, it's not like iCloud is unreasonably-priced. It's actually fairly cheap. But, it just seems weird that Apple is printing billions of dollars a quarter with these very expensive devices and still feels the need to squeak out a few dollars a month extra from iCloud subs.

One would think that, with iWork and OSX going free, iCloud would also move from a paid product to a utility that is just included with the devices.
I would do, 30 years, in increments of 10 years. The first 10 'automatic' and registration not required. The two extensions requiring substantial (say a flat filing fee of 100 USD plus 1% per year from creation (per year) of proceeds on use/sales paid as a tax) payment, submission of a 'master copy' of the work (in the clear) and a clear and easily looked up way of determining if that work was in fact extended. Extension searches would, BTW, be free as the database of titles, authors, dates, etc would be public bibliographic information.

Somewhat ironically, the GPL is much more amenable to getting money from software than the Apache, BSD, and other more permissive licenses. Most profitable companies built around Open Source software use the GPL (Apache being the notable exception).

There's simply very little reason for someone to pay for BSD licensed software, but there is reason to pay for GPLed software (even if only to get a different license for it).

"...and increased pressure on the U.S. government to respond more forcefully."

Rather than responding to hacks with counterattacks or an attempt at diplomacy, the first priority ought to be to strengthen the defences of companies handling sensitive data.

While a large system may never be made impenetrable, it could certainly be a lot harder and more costly to pull off an attack against most of these companies than it is today.

If this is considered a crisis, redirecting a few of those billions earmarked for NSAs offensive capabilities towards vetting and improving the security of US companies would make a good strategy.
Not sure if anyone here has used FlightCar, but definitely consider them next time you need to rent a car.

I reserved my car on my phone at my layover in San Diego, received an email that provided a link that I should click once I got to SFO.

Got to SFO, clicked the link and I was provided a realtime map of where the driver was in route. The black car picked me up, took me to the FlightCar offices five minutes away and I rented a compact car for $119 for the entire week.

Seriously, its high time we need a Reddit substitute now. Even Facebook has G+ and Twitter to compete with, but Reddit is still a natural monopoly. Except perhaps Hacker news, but it doesn't have as many features.

Note that Reddit has had a rise in the number of 503 error during peak times.

Gosh, I love Twitter as a company and product... but its financials make me cringe.

The adjusted EBITDA feels like a totally made up number by adjusting R&D and god knows what else... and I would like to be the judge of R&D, because that label is a black whole, and at $690m a year, this is no joke.

Then, onto the important number: cash from operating activities is $82m in 2014. That means Twitter is trading +300x EV/OCF, with a rapidly decelerating top line growth. I want to cry.

> So if I want to take older pictures on my device to share with others, I need to download them at home in advance - that's the weakness of this setup.

I have a solution. My workflow is:

-Import photos into Lightroom from camera to local SSD. Select the option to generate 1:1 previews.

-Edit/trash photos. Publish some to FB, Flickr, Snapfish, whatever I want to do with them.

-Move originals to external storage.

The 1:1 previews stay on the local catalog (they're like.. big JPGs or something). Good enough to show off, even print, but obviously you'd want to edit the originals.

If you're disconnected from that external storage, you can still see the 1:1 previews. If you're connected to storage, Lightroom recognizes it and loads up the originals instead. It's brilliant.

You can even set up a collection that syncs with your phone/tablet. If you're even halfway serious about your photos, lightroom is the way to go.
I'm skeptical of any x-to-JS compiler as usually I end up debugging 2 different codes, where the second one is machine generated. After that you try to work around on the first to make the generated one do what you want.

On the other hand the Scala people know how to write compilers. We're live, in production, with Scala since 2011 and it's a joy: it actually delivers what's promised. Heard the same thing from Twitter, LinkedIn and Netflix too.

So maybe it worth a try; especially if it will integrate with ReactJs / React Native. Sounds like a match made in heaven.

Also found it a bit tricky to navigate, and found myself wanting some sort of dynamic reclustering. I searched on 'Film' and got to a nexus very obviously, but then things seemed spread out in very random directions. I'm guessing it is only using unidirectional links? Maybe some sort of Pagerank approach would help - links seemed to float off to essentailly random destiantions like individual film titles, the Wiki article on Celebrity and so on. I didn't get any sense o structure deriving from the internal links of the Wiki page either.

But having thrown out all those criticisms, it's still a great start. I want to browse things like this all the time. I want to see my browser bookmarks organized this way, and many other things. Please keep working on it!

The other issue I think will be longevity. I grew up on a farm, and every piece of machinery that we used was older then I was by about 10 years, at least. Farmer's expect to purchase a tractor, and then run that piece of equipment for the entire life of the FARMER.

It feels like the tractor manufactures today are catering to the mega farms, not the smaller farms that make up a larger portion of our farming infrastructure. And the small farms only buy a new tractor every 10 - 20 years. Not every 3 - 5 years for a tax break.

This is completely false for correctly implemented crypto unless mobile phones of the future are made of something other than matter and occupy something other than space.

I wouldn't dismiss it so blithely. I implemented a remote job runner UI here:

http://intercoolerjs.org/examples/jobrunner.html

You can get pretty far with it.

It isn't a perfect fit for every app, but most apps have at least a few areas where using it would simplify things considerably.

Also, there are a lot of nice things that are extremely easy to use that are a PITA with most other frameworks. For example, AJAX-aware history is an ic-push-url="true" away:

http://intercoolerjs.org/examples/history.html

I realize that most front end people who see this will immediately dismiss it as "simple", but it's a very rich library and can be used to accomplish an awful lot: you can fire client side events using custom HTTP headers, show and hide request indicators using only a CSS selector, etc.
Another fan of smugmug here.

You can't beat unlimited storage for $40/year. Granted upload is limited by upload speed but by letting it upload overnight, that hasn't been a problem for me.
Smugmug has app on iOS/Android that work well also.

Here's how I manage family photos/videos as a Mac user:

1. Use "Image Capture" to import photos/videos from camera/iphone/android into Mac. Do NOT use iPhoto to import although OS X recommends it. It's the root of all kinds of problems afaik. "Image Capture" is free tool included with OS X. Just open "Image Capture" and insert your memory card or plug in usb cable.

2. Once imported, use ExifRenamer (or other alternatives) to rename files to date/time taken. This ensures each photo/video has unique serial. With the new names, you can easily tell when/what/where/why just by looking at filename.

3. You can group files into year-mm-dd or any other method you like. You can do it manually easily or use "Big Mean Folder Machine 2".

4. Once you have grouped files into year-mm-dd, now you can import them into iPhoto. I do this purely for easier browsing/etc.

5. Within iPhoto, you have photos grouped into year-mm-dd.

#Now you should NOT keep ALL your photos/videos in ONE iPhoto database/folder. You should create 1 iPhoto database/folder for just 1 year using tools like "iPhoto Buddy' (free) or "iPhoto Library Manager" ($20). That way iPhoto data doesn't get too big.

#I back up both the renamed files (divided into yyyy-mm-dd) AND the iPhoto libraries to external HDs. Backing up the renamed files as simple files is critical imo.

#Whenever iPhoto is updated by Apple and I open an iPhoto library from older version, that iPhoto Library needs to be updated by the newer iPhoto. Not a big deal though.

#Backup to Smugmug
Now after above are done, I start uploading photos to smugmug. I may do maybe a month at a time or something like it. With smugmug, I can recover photos even if I lose both my Mac and external HDs. It will be painful but possible. Obviously Amazon S3 is another option. I would just zip up the files and encrypt them if using Amazon S3.
I'm not exactly thrilled at the ingenuity here either but lots of people leave their car at the airport for a week, two weeks, sometimes more in long-term parking. If you could wipe out that cost by letting someone use your car, why wouldn't you? Or if you want to avoid the usual rental rigamarole, why wouldn't you? Seems pretty sensible to me, if not particularly original.

It's weird that your thoughts jumped straight to an 'investment car.' Many people only use their one car occasionally, opening it up for rental, and two-car households can save or even make money by renting out one when it's not necessary to use both.
Basic income reduces the administrative overhead of providing assistance. Also it could create increased mobility in the job market compared the current system. (You could leave your current job without waiting weeks or months for unemployment/disability/EBT) Basic income would create an elastic supply of labor potentially reducing the prices of many goods that is not considered in the above analysis. (When one has a basic income provided already you don't have to charge as much for services. More people would be competing to provide the same services)
> What I don't understand is, if this sensor fails so often, why doesn't the farmer keep one in stock.

Probably because it's impossible as JD as only vendor only sells the part to authorized service shops, with contracts forbidding sale to individual customers (edit: and the sensor is likely patented too, to prevent clones, like Apple did with Magsafe).

Or worse, each sensor/component has a UUID and registers with the ECU over the communication bus... and to allow the sensor to be used with the ECU, it has to be authorized with a key provided only to authorized service shops.
