Reduce contrast and move everything around in order to maximize how pretty the interface is without any regard for how it affects users.
You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. Companies left and right are jumping on board with the Internet Of Things idea of using websites and smart phone apps to control everything. Those interfaces are increasingly dictated by design idiots who care only how pretty the interface is. The end result will be a generation of truly shitty interfaces that barely work, but look pretty in the ad copy.
The US DOJ is too busy trying to bypass state laws and reinstate asset forfeiture. They aren't going to take on corporations who can hire lawyers when there are innocent people with money that they can take.
And yet the sealed tube that's been evacuated of air will still not have cars and city buses in it.
Apparently you think that the hyperloop train will burst out of the tube and go on a car crushing rampage like a futuristic monster truck show. That's not what would happen. Passenger trains are not particularly solid and there energy cost of accelerating mass is a huge incentive to keep weight low. The crash would probably compromise the airtight seal of the tube, but the train isn't going to hurtle out of the first crash like a bullet from a gun. Most of what would happen in an accident is the rapid crushing of that 500 tons of largely empty metal shells into a much more compact form that clogs the tube.
Go look up the Mythbusters video where they slammed a rocket sled into a car at 650 MPH. The car gets turned into a combination of dust and small pieces. It does not slam it's way through the sheet of steel on the sled. That's essentially what the result of a catastrophic hyperloop accident with would look like, but the pieces would either mostly or completely contained in the tube.
"If lots of people are working on something and it isn't done yet, it must be impossible."
And that's why SHA-1 is still considered completely secure? I mean, it was introduced in 1995 and nobody had found a weakness in it by 2004. 9 years without being cracked clearly means it's unbreakable, right?
And distributed blockchain has been around since 2008. 9 years without being cracked. Clearly it will never be cracked, right?
An app will allow you to unlock the box and cameras powered with computer vision will register when you're shoved out of the way by a couple of teenagers in ski masks who will then grab everything they can, shove it into bags and run off, automatically charging your credit card for everything they just stole. The entire process happens without a person actually manning the âoestore.â
Because Real Science(tm) only comes from genuine industry lobbying groups who have a vested interest in opposing regulations that might impact corporate profits!
Thanks to our efforts in this area, you can rest assured that you will never need to talk to those creepy science nerds again because our friendly PR staff is ready to answer all your questions in the most profitable way possible!
A clickbait post to incite another "we're probably living in a simulation" circlejerk generally shows up on here every couple of months. We're about due for another one, so you shouldn't have to wait long.
I'd say the GP AC has demonstrated a complete lack of regard for human life by dismissing everyone who didn't evacuate as "stupid" without any attempt to understand whether they actually had the ability to evacuate.
The viral photo of the seniors at a flooded assisted living center are a good example of what's wrong with that logic. None of those people had the ability to evacuate themselves, but you and the GP are both dismissing them as "stupid" and not worthy of being rescued without any regard for the situation they found themselves in.
There is nothing decent or humane about your comments here. You should both be ashamed of yourselves.
That's actually a much more dangerous test. Blocking 100% of visible light does not mean that 100% (or any) UV light is being blocked. UV light is what does the majority of the damage when you look at the sun.
You've confused GPS signals with GPS tracking devices. You're right that a GPS signal is not going to disable the vehicle, but GPS tracking devices often include the necessary cellular network hardware to provide remote disable capability.
So, yes, you can disable a car via the GPS tracking device.
Water absorbs 2.4 GHz signals pretty well (which is a big part of the reason microwaves use that frequency to heat food) and the human body is mostly water, so yes... the body does block bluetooth signals fairly well.
My workplace was close to the center of the path of totality and the company bought glasses for all of us, so a bunch of us went outside and watched it from the parking lot. It was kinda cool.
A major corporation like Apple can build a data center almost anywhere. It's not a question of whether Apple can make a go of it without corporate welfare. The fact is, they can demand it and get it, so why wouldn't they?
Apple is building one data center. Multiple states would love to have the resulting tax revenue. Limited demand and more customers leads to the customers bidding on the product. Sometimes the bidding gets carried away and the customer spends far more on the product than it's worth (which does seem to be the case here).
That's not against your imaginary Rules of Capitalism (feel free to post a link to those official rules, btw... would love to see them). That is the reality of capitalism. When you argue for the free market, this sort of thing is exactly what you're arguing for.
Ad-revenue driven websites have been in a race to the bottom, happily abandoning any sort of meaningful content in favor of clickbait that generates revenue. Switching the pay for the writers over to a formula derived from the number of clicks they generate is just the next step in that process.
You didn't actually read the article you linked, did you?
The article presents the facts about what happened and there are quotes from people who are for and against the behavior of Antifa, but the article itself avoids making any judgements.
With programming, you're likely going to want a LOT of special formatting that you can type without thinking but it's cumbersome to communicate via speech in a way that won't confuse a speech recognition engine.
This story is about speech recognition being as good as transcription services. Programmers don't dictate their code verbally to be transcribed into text format by someone else, so that is a really weird thing to try to use as a counter argument.
You could look at history and see how the bans on chemical weapons worked out. Yes, there are countries that violate the ban periodically, but the vast majority of countries have adhered to it. The end result has been a massive reduction in the number of deaths due to chemical warfare.
A ban doesn't have to completely eliminate something to be worthwhile.
The dealer told you that they won't make a key if you show up with the truck and only one key, but if you show up with the truck and no keys at all they will make one?
Either you're gullible and don't recognize an obvious scam or you're not very good at making up stories.

If your goal is to commit an easily detectable felony and get sent to jail for it, then yes, it works.

Why would you think there would be cars and city buses in a sealed tube that's had most of the air pumped out of it?
In a world where everyone trusted each other, Nigerian scams would be far more common and far more profitable than they already are.
A little distrust is a good thing.

If you can unlock it with both a PIN and your junk, it should really be named "pinprick security system"

I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or you're actually that stupid.

Feel free to argue with the person I responded to about whether your anecdote trumps their anecdote.

these are more like a gold (or other commodity-backed) currency than most government fiat currencies that exist.
Except these seem to be backed by saturated fat and sodium, which makes it odd that they were launched in Russia instead of the USA.
