A rendering is just an ad, a way of selling the project and having areas of greenery is highly regarded as positive by the market. After the project is "won" that "details" are scaled down to meet reality and budgets, this time by more experienced architects pressed by investors and a ton of technical advisors.<p><i>Correction: The article's image that is wrongly attributed to "Villa Bio by Enric Ruiz-Geli" should be attributed instead to "Outrial house by KWK Promes".</i><p><a href="http://www.archilovers.com/projects/42124/outrial-house.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.archilovers.com/projects/42124/outrial-house.html</a> | null | 11,501,540 | null | [

11,503,267 | null | comment | rathish_g | 1,460,715,710 | V-Guard office in Kerala, India is a 12 storied green spectacle. Plants spill out from every floor turning the structure into a vertical garden. Architect formulated a building that would use natural light and ventilation. The south and the west of the building would have more plants to block the sun. The green-screen would be equipped with drip irrigation so that when the air passes through, it would become cooler. Therefore, the office does not use much artificial lighting or air conditioning. The façade of the building becomes an interesting play of lines, planes and plants.<p>It is a model that works in a place such as Kerala, India where the temperature does not cross 35 degree Celsius. With the plants that line the balconies, direct sunlight does not fall on the building. Hence, 90 percent of the building is not air-conditioned.<p>Look for images here <a href="https://www.google.co.in/search?q=v+guard+headquarters" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.co.in/search?q=v+guard+headquarters</a> | null | 11,501,540 | null | [

There is a point where something addresses so few of these failure cases that you can't reasonably call it a backup. | null | 11,503,240 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,503,283 | null | story | _iostreamer_ | 1,460,716,029 | Problem: The internet allows you to know a lot of things but what it doesn't tell is the nitty-gritty details you want to know. And to give you that information, the app/web needs to know about you, a lot. And we all know how much we can trust someone with our data. This gap prevents us from having the connected experience we deserve, from knowing more about our vicinity and often forces us to make uninformed decisions.<p>Solution: A mobile application which creates a decentralized network using Bluetooth and WiFi and uses this network to power the AI assistant. The AI learns from your activities, preferences and routine and gives you suitable notifications when you need it. All your personal information and everything the AI learns is kept on your phone only. And if someone on the Grid makes a query that needs your data then it is properly anonymized first.<p>Extra feature: Just like any network, Grid also supports running applications over it. Anyone can make simple plugins for the network!<p>Status: The app can create a network and has been tested(It sometimes crashes on Android 5+ devices :p but me and my team are close to fixing that). The plugin framework is also complete and just the documentation is left. We are now focused on the AI part, and we believe we can have an alpha by the mid of may.<p>Background: We are a team of 6 and are practically in our final year of college. We are classmates and have know each other for more than 2 years and we have been working on this idea for the past 11 months.<p>The idea could sound quirky or boring, and I really really would like to know your opinion, your remarks, your rant. I am all ears to what you have to say.<p>Looking forward to your comments :D | null | null | null | [

I had a short consulting gig recently where I was asked to speed up a simulation job written in Python by a mechanical engineer. Smart guy but not a programmer, so the script was full of global variables, side effects and imperative loops.<p>I parallelised the script, which is pretty easy in Python but involved refactoring into a more pure functional style. I abstracted out the algorithms and added in some persistent memoization as a bonus. It was clean and did what they needed, but... unfortunately was now completely unintelligible to the engineer who wrote it.<p>When I was asked back 6 months later to help again, they had reverted to using and modifying the old script.

I lived in Houston during Katrina (and actually was a catastrophe insurance adjuster,) so I saw it first hand. Many of those people got healthy FEMA money and were able to restart in Houston. However to be fair, the crime rate in Houston did spike due to some of the influx and the problems it brought (such as NOLA gang members getting into disputes with local gang members.) Overall though, it seemed to be a positive for most involved. (It did result in a much elevated Cajun/Creole cuisine due to the NOLA cooks that relocated!) | null | 11,502,695 | null | [

11,503,318 | null | comment | sajeevaravind | 1,460,716,673 | Hi Shanu,<p>That's a good question. Part of the problem is addressed by few startups like meta.sc and mohiomap, all in infancy like us. They both allow search for files across all storage. But they don't attempt to categorize the data nor allow data of offline devices to be kept within them.<p>We are complimentary to Dropbox and Googledrive. Users can continue to keep their data where ever they are storing now. We just make the discovery easier.<p>Thanks, those are some great questions. Happy to answer any further questions you may have. | null | 11,503,207 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,503,331 | null | comment | Jaruzel | 1,460,716,911 | This whole thread has just triggered me into finding out why current versions of MS Office are failing to open some 20+ year old documents that I have. Turns out, MS Office no longer supports Word for DOS/WordPerfect/AbiWord files - which is fine I guess, but to rub salt into the wound, there used to be converter plug-ins available, but MS not longer host them for download (I guess the 400kb archive was taking up too much space or something). I just had to resort to hunting down the archive and downloading it from some unknown/untrusted file directory. Anyway, it works and I can now open all my ancient documents in Office 2013 - which is not bad considering the converter plug-ins were written for Office 97.<p>Regarding the article - I'm not sure I understand the concept behind storing a set of the recovered files in a Cloud service. Surely a second HDD with the same contents stored at a second location would be cheaper in the long run. The HDD would last 20+ years if stored correctly - you can't guarantee that your consumer level Cloud service will still be around even in 10 years time. | null | 11,502,801 | null | [

11,503,345 | null | comment | sajeevaravind | 1,460,717,165 | Hi Vikas,<p>That's a good question. Spark is an inbox assistant which helps to improve the email tasks productivity. Eventhough the categorization of emails makes it looks like it is in the same space as Vaultedge, I think it is not. Vaultedge is a personal document organizer, which helps you to find your documents quickly irrespective of whereever it is. So we work across emails, cloud storage, offline devices etc. So in that sense, the purpose of these two tools are different at least as of now.<p>Thanks for the great question.
