SoylentNews has decided to avoid non-profit status due to the demands it puts on the organisation, so they're now trying to set up as a slightly more normal "we don't actually want to make money" benefit corporation.
An induction cooktop with precise digital temperature control (SI) and a magnetic stirrer would also be great.
A magnetic stirrer on a magnetic induction cooktop would be... interesting.
We have an induction coooktop with digital temperature control (in increments of 10 degrees). It seems to measure the temperature at the induction coil, rather than the temperature of the pot, so things can boil when it's set to 60C. Also, the PWM cycle of the cooktop (as with pretty much every other one I've seen) is far too long at about 0.5Hz (where I'd prefer a cycle of at least 10Hz, and ideally over 100Hz). Further, the power level can't be adjusted as much as I'd like -- I set it to 800W (or 130C, because that seems to be similar) and it's too cold for frying, but 900W (or 140C) is a little bit too hot.
Sure, I wouldn't change away from induction now that I have it, but I expect it'll be a while before we get a replacement cooktop, because I've become a whole lot more aware of the limitations (and possibilities) in the current technology.
And now that Tesla has freed up the patents for their superchargers, you'll be able to plug an electric bike into something that uses that connection and current (not necessarily the Tesla ones). Given that the motorcycle battery packs are much smaller than the car packs, I don't expect that a 2-minute charge to full would be out of the question.
That might almost be quicker than walking up to a cashier and paying money, and certainly would be quicker if you're not the first person in line.
And, of course, they can snoop on American citizens on google and facebook, as well as for all other communications in Great Britain because the Americans are foreigners.
When you have five eyes, and each eye is in a different country, it's quite easy to work around those pesky "no watching yourself" laws.
It's extremely confusing to put it nicely.
I feel compelled to tell the world about a more confusing part of NCBI that I'm trying to navigate myself around at the moment: The Transcriptome Shotgun Assembly Sequence Database. Submitting sequences is... a little tricky. Here's a simplification of the process:
Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a Transcriptome assembly ID, which you can insert into a single sentence in your research paper: "The transcriptome that was created for use in this study has been uploaded to NCBI (reference ID: GAAA00000000)."
$10,000 barely gets you ONE modern well-equipped 20 core server system
I get 4x16 core AMD Opteron 6366HE on a Dell PowerEdge m915 for $5,578.70:

So that's a bit less than $10,000 for 100 cores on a standard issue Dell machine. It's not completely crazy to expect you could increase that to 600 cores without too much extra cash laid down.
You need to click on the "Elsevier Open Access" link from NCBI, which is a direct link to the article on the publisher's website (this location is where you click for all PubMed articles, as long as the publisher has provided access in that way). PubMed never displays complete articles.
After clicking through, there's a "Download PDF" link at the top left of the article, just under the green Science Direct header.
Since not everyone went to Sunday School, TFS is referencing Genesis chapter 1 verse 1.
I'd read you the verse proper, but since verse 2 hasn't been quoted yet, it's too dark to read...
You have an off-by-one error. Verses in the bible don't begin at zero.

Every day I'm more and more glad that I have never had an account, and never will.
I'm in the same boat, but I'm not deluding myself by thinking that Facebook doesn't have a shadow account for me -- this has been confirmed to have been done in the past. Facebook is probably aware that I exist, and they obtain some benefit from being able to identify me in photos or posts (for example) and tracking my actions.
The one I had written in 2003 would randomly change table margins when I add or select something. I mean freaking random where the only experience close is like designing a website in IE 6 where you do one thing and all the elements freak out and go apeshit.
So what makes you think this will look the same on the computers of all those people with Office who view your CV?
