This really shows how using technology can leapfrog very costly gradual infrastructure upgrades in terms of both time and cost. Amazing!

It does make we wonder though... Google Maps / Waze must get a decent amount of information from tax funded sources. Do they give back helpful information such as e.g. traffic flow/conditions in this example as well? Without having to participate in a special 'campaign'?

How do you explain something that has potentially unlimited inputs, and whose many inputs/actors do not act sensibly or in their best interest at all?

If you could fully explain an economic system down to the finest detail, you could more less accurately forecast all the human behavior within that system.

If anything, the call for action ("Try the demo" button) should be made MUCH more noticeable.

I was thinking the same thoughts as you because who wants to try the half-assed barely functional demos that most sites put up?

Well, I decided to give the demo a try anyway, and damn am I impressed.

Almost didn't click it though. So hey, make it pop!

Galvanic skin response is listed as one of the sensors, but there's no mention of it in the marketing material.

Anyone know if it'll be able to measure exertion via sweat?

Great design work!

But I have to wonder, how is this different from Pinterest?

So stay away from routers that are Made in China and Made in USA - what's left?

Is there a country small enough without a world domination agenda, yet large enough to not be swayed by bullying from U.S, China etc.? It's time to start a router manufacturing business there...

Loved the movie, you should definitely watch it!

I first visited in 2010 and it was nowhere as gritty as seen in the movie, but also much safer I guess!

Wouldn't a structure this large be inevitably hit by debris, whether from our own junk or stuff from elsewhere in space?

They'd need a gundam squadron to protect it too.

Has the popularity of Go died off recently?

This is the first Go article I've seen on the front page in a while...

What weight did you start at?

200 to 150 would be much more impressive than 300 to 250.
