Donor kidney doesn't agree with you? Get it removed and give it to someone else.

Donor kidney doesn't agree with you? Get it removed and give it to someone else.:

For the first time, a kidney that had been donated to a patient in need was removed and implanted into a new patient, the third individual to have the organ, after it failed in the first transplant recipient.

Aeropress “Ritual” (spec)

This is a short tribute to my Aeropress. Two years ago, one was given to me, and it changed everything.

For a little more than $20, this marvel of science will produce arguably the best cup of coffee you’ve ever made in your home. It makes no sense.

Here’s where to buy it: amzn.to/IiqlhO

This is how my wife and I make coffee every morning.

If Sleep No More Had Achievements

It would take a solid month of posts to talk about the things I’ve seen (and heard about) at the show, so in lieu of a specific tour guide for what to see, here’s some gaming-style achievements to help guide you towards certain activities.

Surprised this hasn’t been done before.

More on DRM and ebooks

More on DRM and ebooks:
It’s my belief that today’s e-ink ebook read­ers are doomed to obso­les­cence with­in a short peri­od — 2-3 years pos­si­bly, 5 years prob­a­bly. This is because the power con­sump­tion of LCD dis­plays is drop­ping and their qual­i­ty is ris­ing. e-ink devices are inher­ent­ly inca­pable of dis­play­ing video, are lousy as web browsers due to the screen refresh time, and if you use them to play audio or do any inten­sive pro­cess­ing (such as run­ning apps) their bat­tery life drops towards that of a reg­u­lar LCD-equipped tablet. They’re essen­tial­ly single-purpose devices, com­pet­ing in a mar­ket with general-purpose devices. Their only advan­tages are bat­tery life and read­abil­i­ty in direct sun­light, both of which are under threat. So it’s my belief that gen­er­al pur­pose tablets (and big-screen smart­phones) will drive e-ink read­ers out of the mass mar­ket with­in 2-5 years, just as smart­phones killed off your 2003 Palm Pilot.

Facebook acquired Instagram for about $30 per user, or $1 billion. ($30/user X 33M users = $1B). Facebook is valued at about $100 per user or $80 billion ($100/user X 800M users = $80Bn). Other popular social apps are valued around $20 to $50 per user.
