    That pun really hertz.

  2. This is why SJW people support doxing, harrassment, and the limitations of free speech.

    Look at who supports the legal regulation of real names online. Think about why they want this. It isnt to reduce harrassment and trolling, people will do that anyhow. It is so the can persecute and track down anyone with a dissenting opinion.

    Look at the case of Gregory Alan Elliott. Disagree with a feminist? Go to jail and have your livelyhood taken away.

    The light bulb would still be necessary, unless you want the screen to display blackness. :) Hopefully a futuristic fridge like this would employ LED lighting.

    Either way, the computer that runs this thing would be on constantly. Though I suspect the monitor uses nearly all of the power. Maybe only 4 or 5 Watts for the computer.

    So, when does adding all these camera features cost more electricity than simply holding the door open while you look for what you want?

  12. Re:The Intermittent Combustion Engine on The Dirty Truth About 'Clean Diesel' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    That works fine for trains and boats, but here on roads we need to occasionally stop.

    In cities we need to stop a lot, therefore the pollution from engines is worse. A steam or stirling engine isn't going to help much here when I need power right the heck now, not in five minutes when the engine heats up. Hybrid engines are more smooth on power use since you can divert energy into the batteries and get it back quick without taxing the gas engine. Even trains do this.

    But in that case, you might as well go full electric and eliminate the heat engine entirely.

    Because supertankers and beef ranches are operating out in t he middle of nowhere. Cars are operating right in the middle of the cities where almost everyone lives.

    I am not saying we should not be looking at these other industries; but if we want to improve air quality where people live, we need to stop driving so many cars and trucks make the ones we do drive cleaner. The second of those two options is much easier to regulate and implement.

    But for 100+ years there has been few restrictions on movement and migration in the US. It is quite normal for families to live on opposite sides of the country. Whereas up until recently there were controlled borders throughout most of Europe. In the case of the Iron Curtian, very controlled borders.

    With the expansion of the Schengen Area you might see more widely traveled and spread families. But even then, migration isn't as simple as it is in the USA.

  16. My worry is that this will just make politicians less honest and frank.

    How could politicians possibly be less honest?

  17. There are 3rd party sites that scrape the entirety of Twitter, but they are expensive to access. My company looked into it for doing some "Google flu trends" type analysis, but decided the information was mostly useless and not worth the money spent on Twitter feed access.

    It would be even more expensive for an individual to scrape the entirety of Twitter. Too much for someone running a free site to handle.

    Maybe just scrape targeted politicians' feeds would be doable though. But then things would slip through the cracks of "oh, we did not know this person was important enough to scrape at the time they made the gaff".

    Speak against the groupthink, and they will track down your employers and family and harass them. Make sure you lose your job, are estranged from your family. The SJW battle is not over until you commit suicide.

    Of course human drivers are terrible. 50% of people that get into accidents were not at fault.

    Actually that isnt entirely true, I am sure there are plenty of accidents where both parties were at fault. Such as, one drivers makes an illegal turn, but the other driver could have avoided it if he was not speeding, driving recklessly, etc. Perhaps legally, the first guy is "at fault", and it is probably unprovable that the second driver has any liability, but there are a lot of avoidable accidents.

    And another one that says "use your goddamn turn signals, I may be a robot, but I can't read your freaking mind."

    I wonder, do these driverless cars do take cues from turn signals, to know when someone is about to make an abrupt and dangerous move? Such as "guy in left lane with his right turn signal on and there is an exit coming up in .1 miles; I bet I am about to get cut off."
