I hardly think Disney would object to the free publicity, any more than kids taking selfies there now. Amazon might object on basis of workplace privacy, after which there will be a lively debate over who has the right to object to collecting personal data. .
I’m a Boomer, and I second this.I’m nostalgic about some vanished aspects of my youth, like few speech on college campuses, but tangled cords are not one of them.
So this new product will incorporate tools from the photographic version like Spot Healing Brush and global color shifting (use the White Balance eyedropper to get rid of that sallow complexion!) But will the Ex-Wife Removal Tool, or Content-Aware Fill as Photoshop calls it, be included?
Republicans (nitwits, frauds) keep insisting billions of tons of insulating gasses being added to our atmosphere every year will have no effect because Jesus is coming back so it doesn't matter. How soon?
And meanwhile, the party that once summoned nuclear power into being won't let us use it to fix the problem. Perhaps we can use Franklin Roosevelt's rotating body as a power source.
In Europe, "slow TV" is a thing. You see a travel show that consists of a ride on a canal boat or a back-country bus that unfolds in full, as though you were there, with nothing left out. Some programs of this type have run for days, like the 132-hour voyage of a Hurtigruten ferry along the entire coast of Norway. People generally do not sit and watch the whole thing, but use shows like this as life background.
With SD cards of this capacity, it becomes possible for anyone to record extended life events in real time. On social media, watch for selfies to be replaced by "My Entire Week at Disney World" and "My Job at the Amazon Warehouse."
The current student loan framework is just like a company issuing bonds to finance expansion. The proposed scheme would be exactly like issuing stock. The university gets equity in you, and you pay them a dividend that represents their fraction of your earnings.
Because it's distributed, which not only enables an entertaining variety of new hacks, but which makes hackers who do get in a lot more difficult to find.
If they are doing this, it means that DDG has a business model., which you are free to take or leave. In the absence of one, I have always suspected that DDG is a gummint-operated honeypot to attract people searching for bomb details, child porn and drugs.
Perhaps kids are learning that listening to an album is pretty damned awesome.
No, you remember that in 1973 it was pretty damned awesome to be young and in the arms of your old girlfriend as you listened to that album, baked on whatever pills you had bought in the street that morning.
There is no way your grandkids will ever be able to reproduce that experience. They are visiting you at Retirecrest listening to the album through your carefully coddled and patched McIntosh amp, but all they see is a drooling old guy with a recording that hisses and pops. That 1973 experience was yours and yours alone.
If you have to stop by a charging station on your way to the ER, then you're going to have to ask Cletus to take the patient the rest of the way in his pickup.
They don't strike me as being a trucking demographic, but more of a mom's basement demographic.
The pickup protesters in the story probably see a row of EV charger parking spaces as being "stolen" from them. It's the same people who resent seeing handicapped spaces. The boutique mall next to me now has a row of ten Tesla spaces, off to one side so there is less conflict with the ICE population.
In one California case a few years ago, a police officer plowed into a cyclist while texting. By using his Cop Immunity(tm) he got away without any punishment, even though the victim was a Silicon Valley CEO.
My town (northern AZ) is well-equipped with bike lanes, but we also have a lot of roundabouts, which are relatively new in the state as a whole. Drivers here know that the bike lanes do not continue through roundabouts; bikers are supposed to merge in-line through each roundabout. Unfortunately tourists do not know this, and as a result cyclists are steadily being selected out of the road population. But be warned, for they are evolving the ability to shoot back.
I saw ATO being demonstrated on the Tokyo subway system in the Seventies. Automatic operation of a high speed train, though, is a more difficult problem.
Perhaps the next technology that China can borrow from theTokyo system will be linear induction.
Of course the countries that are behind would want the countries that are ahead to share. As for China, talk is cheap. They want everybody else to show their hand while they keep their own hand hidden.
The article is accompanied by a chart of proportion of papers published now by country. China is already edging out the US in this measure, with everyone else far behind. Scientists want to publish, because their reputations hinge on it. Even if a government restricts publication, word is going to leak out across the peer network and at scientific conferences anyway.
If there is no indication now that China is keeping a lot of research to itself, moving to an open-access world is not somehow going to make them more secretive. It just lowers the friction in the scientific process, allowing everyone to share results more quickly.

Now we’re really getting News For Nerds.
Don't normally reply to AC but here you go...
1. Bluetooth audio is TERRIBLE
I’m sure you can find an app that adds random hisses and pops to your Bluetooth audio, so it sounds like the formats you grew up with.
EDIT: ...free speech on college campuses.
Muh Headphone Jack!

Imagine how many gigabags of Doritos this much cheese could be made into!

You don't sell that to parents, but to those who are about to become parents.

This happened in Oregon? The place where cyclists catcall pedestrians?
Tesla owners have laser pistols.
No, they have Musk flamethrowers. Just the thing to use on vehicles containing gas tanks.

I expect if you got the pig's brain up to even 1000 K it would stop superconducting....
But at 71C, that same pig would be...delicious.
You’re a fucking retard. Cars don’t cost that much a year.
Maybe he lives where there are Massachusetts taxes and Boston drivers.
... a $2500 Peloton in that spare bedroom, and it holds up the extra bedspread quite well...
There is a valid reason for that: when you do ride somewhere, there are not many safe places to park a $2500 Peloton.

When you're a train.
