  1. "The banned books on your microsd are lies that are spread by revolutionaries. These books that I have here are the real ones."

    Now, how do we determine which is right when everyone is engaged with information warfare with everyone else, and there are dozens of revisions out there?

    This is the reality of Fahrenheit 451. There are so many willfully deluded people out there, that it makes me surprised this isn't a bigger problem than it is.

    Not to mention that the summary is not even consistent. 10-20 years or even 70?

    Yeah, but it is not our globe that is warming in this case, so we should be ok.

  4. There are at least 2 companies testing them in Pittsburgh. I think they run them through the wash every time they use them. The Argo and Uber cars are the only clean ones on the road at the time of year. Completely useless for real-world use.

    I can't even use my back up camera in the winter because its either covered in snow, water, mud, or the worst... salt residue.

    It is probably just automated car wash companies trying to limit liability for damage to expensive sensors.

  7. Get the robots to fight each other. It is the only way humans can survive.

  8. IQ of 80 isn't exactly going to impress.

    Because nobody would give a shit if it was done on an LG or Samsung phone, and you would not be able to get hipsters in to the theater using that as the hook.

  10. Bitcoin is backed by hopes and dreams and hype.

    This is a significant improvement over being backed by Venezuela.

    Oh, I'm sorry, this is abuse.

    At least he eats his own dog food.

    Does he, though? For all we know there was just saline solution in the thing he injected himself with. Dropping trow in front of an audience and injecting as a publicity stunt? A bit different than Barry Marshall.

    It is no different than companies that do science via press release. No releasing of findings, just a press release that says "we discovered something that turns physics on its head!" And then a bunch of years and millions of research dollars later, nothing.

  13. CRISPR is to biology research as Bitcoin is to economics.

    Yeah something good may come of it, but there are a lot of people screwing around.

    I see no difference between that CEO and the Bitconneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeect guy.

    If you think intermittent wipers are some kind of government conspiracy to distract you, perhaps you should go back to your cabin and never venture out.

    If you use Facebook on mobile (not the app, just the website), you will get advertisements on pretty much any product you have viewed on Amazon or done a google search for.

    Though, they must not get info on what I have purchased, because most of the ads are for things I already bought.

    No idea if it does this on a computer browser, though, for obvious reasons.

    I am honestly not sure.

  17. Re:Waze on The Car of the Future Will Sell Your Data (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Waze is basically designed to facilitate distracted driving. by encouraging people to click on shit while driving. Showing ads is just an extension of this purpose.

    My guess is even if you pay the Google privacy ransom, they will sell your info anyhow since they can claim they collected it through non-gmail means.

    Acuras since 2014 have a separate dimming setting for the screen than the rest of the console. This lets me make it significantly dimmer than the rest of the console.

    Though, I miss the color change of my RSX. In the day it light up white to be seen, at night it lit up red so it doesn't fuck up night vision. Newer ones do the same color but dim, and it isn't as pleasant.

  20. Adblock all the time, everywhere on The Car of the Future Will Sell Your Data (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    This is the level of ethics that advertisers have. Block them all the time, everywhere. They are absolute scum.

    If a site fails to make ad revenue, it is not my problem, blame the scamming scum advertisers.

    We even helped block them in real life in my city. A new zoning regulation bans all light up LED billboards.

    But what content that anyone actually cares about is behind the paywall?

    Or, more accurately, what content that isn't available from a dozen other channels? When Vsauce went Red, it was no big loss, there are plenty of science themed channels. (Yeah I know Vsauce only put some content on Red, but the free videos are so rare he might as well not exist now.)

    Do you call married women by their maiden names? Or (gasp) married men? (those filthy betacucks)

    Just suck it up snowflake. Who gives a shit what someone wants to call themselves?

    My guess is you are too terrifies of anyone that is trans to actually talk with them. Much easier to treat them as if they are not human, isn't it?

  25. Speaking of book, the old proverb comes to mind; an image is worth 1,000 words.

    And a word evokes 1000 images.

    And this is how we get inflation.
