Keeping a variety of houseplants seems to help at least a bit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Clean_Air_Study


Big fan of BlueScreenView and WiFiInfoView! Thanks for all the great products.


My understanding is that a good number of the exchanges currently operating require payment to list new coins, often in the form of a significant stake in the coin itself. At any point has any exchange ever stated that their company and officers do not hold stakes in the coins that are traded? I haven't seen it.


Are there specific reasons for that particular date?


What a great game! It worked so smoothly over dial up. I put a lot of hours into this back in the day. The balance in the ship types and the teamwork required is brilliant. And then all of the mods for different game types and maps... just so much fun.

One side might have on street parking.


I imagine that in the future giving a child any significant quantity of a super sugar liquid like soda might be seen as child abuse. The way it triggers the human brain isn't much different than illegal drugs.


Or the health effects will be held in the same regard as cigarettes. My dad started smoking when he was 12, it wasn't uncommon for kids to do that.


Built in camera and video capture has improved an incredible amount. I think the value this provides to people with modern "phones" is pretty significant.


So why can't someone innovate on form factor a little? Ever thinner candy bars cannot be the ultimate destination in ergonomics.

Someone offer me a thicker smart phone with a great camera, xenon flash (like Sony Ericsson once did with feature phones) and removable battery. With the amount of improvement to smartphone lenses a few more mm of case would maybe even allow a zoom.

If I don't like some of the experiments? That's rather the point.


I'm still stuck on a 5-year old Galaxy Note 3 because it has a removable battery. The Note 4 was the last one to have a removable battery.

Eventually I'll have to give up and buy a new phone but literally nothing is released with a removable battery these days.

I don't care if my phone is 2mm thicker, I want the ability to replace the battery because it is a consumable item that will need replacement.

No company seems to want my $1k for a new phone.


Or, heaven forbid, A slightly larger battery!


Why don't you build it?

As a consumer electronics company founder, I've noticed it's so easy to say "the other guys are idiots why don't they offer me what I want exactly."

It's because hardware is hard. So if you want something made exactly your way, why don't you just build it?

It's never been easier than now to build a hardware product. And the software here is majority open source.
