The math in that article is screwy too. The article says he usually has one staff at the store, 10 hours a day, 365 days a week. $15/h x 10h x 365 = $54,750 in total salary paid. Even if half the time he has two staff that is less than $80K. The article says the increase is costing him an extra $80K/year.

I've thought a feature where you could add an edit to the bottom of a comment, without being able to edit the actual comment, would be pretty useful.

If they could deliver to the balcony of an apartment/condo it would make online shopping way better. Currently unless you are home and the driver is willing to buzz, take the elevator etc. you will not get any package and have to go to the pickup location. With drones you would get 100% deliveries on time.

Coal is responsible for something like 2/3rds of human generated mercury pollution in the environment. It is one of the worst ways to generate power possible.

It is exactly broken down in the link in the comment you replied to. Fees and rewards are ~35% or $700K. Fixed costs for production startup including build sets, costumes, etc. is $550K. This leaves $750K for 3 episodes. For the stretch goals they raise $1.1M per 3 episode target but after fees and rewards they have $750K/3 episodes as well.

My preference would be to stay always on daylight savings time and never go to standard time. However switching between the two is very useful in Canada where even in Vancouver the length of day doubles over the course of the year. 8 hours of sunlight in December and 16 hours in June. It is really nice in the summer for it to not be bright at 4am and have a long evening with lots of light. Going to standard time allows it to be light at 8am which I guess is good for some people commuting and walking to school but I'd still rather have that light for the evening.

This is also news to me. I had a work term in university writing test scenarios to verify features of their military air traffic control software.

I was going to post this. The Nexus 8 might be reasonably priced as well.

You should look at how much memory chrome uses by visiting about:memory. I use both Firefox and Chrome and Firefox uses substantially less memory then Chrome to display the same web pages.

Android 5.0.2 seems to only be released to fix bugs on tablets. It doesn't seem to be released for any phones. Google did release 5.0.1 for Nexus 5 quickly but Google only updates devices slowly over a number of weeks. If you are unlucky you might get the update 2 or 3 weeks after others. Google should really allow people who want the update to install it without having to download the factory image and install manually.

5.0 I still lollipop. No North American/European phone has 5.1 yet including Google's Nexus phones.

It doesn't have a delayed delete. It has a snooze feature which hides an email until a specific date and time or location such as snooze until you get home.

Ubisoft still hasn't batched a bug in the ACIII DLC which makes the DLC unplayable for me and many others. I am boycotting all Ubisoft games.

I think some of the peer-to-peer software development might have solved this problem. the first generation peer to peer software all nodes were created equally creating massive traffic overheads. The second generation used the "super peer" model where high bandwidth nodes were connected to each other and most nodes connected with a super peer. With people moving around physically the mesh network becomes more complicated but when density is high like at a protest or sporting event a super peer network model would work really well and scale much better.
