From what I gathered, not all of the people living this way are poor - some are just trying to save a vast amount of money over getting even the cheapest shared apartment they can find...
This is another boon of autonomous cars, which instead of needing to find a safe and legal spot to part, can just drive through the night and have you wake up right next to the gym for a shower and that other S thing.
Looking through the Zoox video more carefully, there's one point where it does a good job of turning, but slowing down to avoid a pedestrian crossing against the light....
Or are they? Because looking at the light that is flagged green, I see only a lower right turn arrow on - even though the car is turning left into that street, the actual green light is not on (but then neither are any of the other light colors, odd).
Looking at a screen capture I'm not sure who that light is really for.
And as noted, Bitcoin price is highly manipulated by the Chinese Bitcoin Mafia. They trade small quantities between themselves to keep the price up, hoping to suck people in.
Yeah but if you figure out the cycle you can ride on their coattails, so to speak.:-)
Not that I personally would try to day-trade anything, I still see Bitcoin being good long-term.
Since it seems many are sharing stories of VirtualBox issues, I thought I'd throw my own in - I was using VirtualBox for a while, until suddenly it just refused to recognize a container I'd set up for the storage... I was only running it for one or two Windows applications, but it put enough doubt in my mind I stopped using it.
It's nice if you have just one row two Windows applications you really want to try using... I may give it another shot.
Just as the rise to fantastic heights of last year was manipulation, so too was the decline - engineered so that others would have a chance to buy into Bitcoin before it inevitably climbed up again.
One interesting thing no-one seems to consider is, that as more investors get into Bitcoin the price will naturally stabilize (not for some time though).
"Real artists ship" is more about pushing through the drive for perfection that stops people from sending out 80-90% completed projects because they are not perfect...
Share your gifts is more a message to those people producing excellent work, probably even finished work, but being too afraid to let others see what they have done.
One is about letting something go, one is about dealing with fear...
By the time the race of various companies to deploy swarms of satellites to provide internet is over, solar rays won't even be able to reach the Earth, much less warm it...

A real criminal would not toss it, they'd destroy it out of spite.
A package is stinking up your car or home. Why on earth would you spend a second long than you had to with it? Remember this is a REALLY powerful smell. You say "real criminal" as if it was some determined noble warrior, not some lazy looser who does the easiest possible thing - which includes tossing a stinky package instead of actively seeking to destroy it.
Stomp, crush, burn, etc
Yeah that's a genius move for sure, to stomp on something you already know smells horrific, and was trapped enough to spread glitter all over you...
Noone tosses it out the window with fingerprints on it
You have watched WAY TOO MUCH CSI Mr McGruff. What "no-one" does is care at all about package thieves or fingerprints unless some truly serious crime is in play. Have you ever TRIED reporting package theft? Even with video the police just laugh. A package by the side of the road will mix with all the other trash and just be ignored.
Ridiculous. No one one do that because you probably wouldn't get them back.
A) They were GPS tracked the whole time.
B) That was the point of the incredibly stinky "Fart Spray", to ensure once the glitter had dispersed the thief would want to toss the package super quickly. If you didn't have that, yeah you were out $1k in phones or so (I don't think they were very high end phones).
It was probably enough value in phones to raise the theft to felony level...
P.S. If someone ends up linking to TMZ on Slashdot for relevant information, maybe that's a good indicator the story was not a good fit for the site...
That's a good point, the 365 stuff is generally better than other store generics.
I agree about the bread. In fact one of my favorite breads from almost anywhere was there - Sun Dried Tomato Sourdough. That was good stuff... sadly discontinued as seasonal, not sure if it will be black every despite selling out all the time.
That's one thing that always mystifies by about grocery stores, all the time you see one particular kind of product low or gone, while the shelfs around are totally full. Is there no-one looking at sales and saying, lets stock a lot more of this for a while?
I shop at both Costco and Whole Foods (and some other stores).
Each has strengths, there are some things only Whole Foods has.
Plus sometimes I don't want to get 24 heads of broccoli or 10 mangos, I just want two.
I will say that for fruits like raspberries and blueberries, Costco is really great - they do an amazing job with having pretty good quality and a quantity that while large, is not unmanageable and two people can actually eat in a reasonable amount of time.
Whole Foods is defniantely not my primary shopping store either though,
I don't like to go into the grocery store either. But there are so many things where I've never had a good experience letting any delivery service pick items for me, it almost assures the crappiest produce it would seem, or even things like the oldest possible loaf of bread... even when you are using the in-store shopping service where you'd think they would want you to use the service again.
I'm come to think that there just are not that many people working at grocery stores who know what good produce even is or how to check. They probably only train them as to what obviously bad looks like so they can change out stock, but picking out better examples... not sure most of them know.
I actually do shop there more since the Amazon acquisition, because there are a few products they carry I can't get in any of the several other grocery stores around. They also have decent bagels (New Yorkers feel free to remain silent thanks).
They have pretty good produce compared to many other options, and aren't even the highest priced place for a number of items...
They do have a more limited selection though, so I could see if people were sticking to just one or two stores Whole Foods might not be a, well, prime choice...
Yeah, but phone IMEI/IMSI -> logged cell tower - ok you can get a burner phone, but the FBI could pin-point your location, or come near it and setup an IMSI-Catcher
If you only ever power the phone in a location that is not home...
Requires a phone with a removable battery of course.
Just hitting a website or checking an app for data also don't actually benefit much from the higher speed of 5G.
It probably will not benefit much from the speed, but it does benefit from lower latency. If you are juts opening up an app for a second to check something like weather, it's a lot nicer to get that update to happen more quickly.
Video conferencing or watching a video will certainly benefit,
I don't see the extra speed benefitting either of those activities as LTE is already more than fast enough to provide for HD video streaming.
watching a video that isn't on the zero rating deal will indeed burn up a whole month's cap in a few minutes.
No more than it would have on LTE, as both services would let you watch it. Even "HD" video streams these days are not usually very large. Maybe if you took to watching 4K streams over cellular... but again you could already do that with LTE.

They are using the Unreal game engine!
Ahh, you do realize the visualization is only for humans, to illustrate the raw data the car is collecting, right?

Curious about what angle Zoox had, I visited the Zoox home page, it has a very nice visualization showing what self driving cars actually "see"...
What do they actually mean to do? That I'm still not sure about. :-)

Since you're all serious Mr Frowny Mc FrownFace, did you factor in:
1) Self replicating satellites that construct new satellites out of sun-beams and cosmic particles or bits of the moon.
2) What about satellites with unfolding panels that spread super wide, eh?
3) Absolutely no-where on your envelope did I see calculations involving volume of existing space junk filling gaps! For shame.
Between all those factors, my new estimates are that in fact there are TWO layers of satellites completely covering the earth.
By the time the race of various companies to deploy swarms of satellites to provide internet is over, solar rays won't even be able to reach the Earth, much less warm it...

These "personal" cars won't have the level of monitoring and inspection that city subways have
Holy shit have you ever BEEN on an SF or NYC subway, and also in a Tesla owners car??
At least in Musk's tunnels a jacked up car just rolls in neutral off to a side channel instead of blocking every car behind it for an entire morning.

I find it highly unlikely there are any dance moves in existence that are unique, it seems like you could always find "prior form" as it were.
The Carlton Dance it turns out, was after all stolen from Courtney Cox & Eddie Murphy - and I'm sure they saw it somewhere.

What Google needs to do is hit someone that has a sense of ethics and a. moral code, and have them approve all other project concepts.
That's definitely not an internal hire though...

No way am I buying into BitBook or FaceChain or whatever they call it.
It also brings to mind a very serious question - do they intend to mine their currency using the browsers and apps of people on Facebook?
...Is it really so bent you need to return it anyway?
Why is it the job of news these days is to try and get people to worry about everything. Sheesh.

Very useful summary with added detail and good article link. Thanks!
Wow, these "self-driving" cars will have TWO drivers in them.
One is for watching the road. The other is an Uber lawyer with a briefcase filled with $100 bills and release forms.
