What's the advantage of not touching your display? I mean, aside of fewer greasy fingerprints.
Assuming the sensing technology can penetrate, you'll be able to put it in a completely water-tight case. Lots of other case and mounting options become possible actually.
It gets better, hereis what the street really looks like at night. About 1 second before the accident there is a yield to bikes sign due to all the bicycle traffic in the area.
Nit: That's not a yield sign, that's a bike lane sign. It doesn't indicate cross traffic, it indicates the shoulder of the road right of the solid white line is for bike traffic.
The only thing they know about me is a random email address they required for me to have an account here, and a totally fake name that I use for the account, because no way in hell I'm using my real name online.

So what you're saying is nothing you post is real.
While it sounds crazy today, what will the Youtube owners say about working on cars in a decade, when many people are riding around in autonomous cars? What will happen when a "terrorist" uses an old-fashioned car with a steering wheel, gas pedal, and no autobraking system to mow down dozens of people in a random city?
I've been telling people for years now, Demolition Man has been damn near 100% on it's predictions for cars.
The persons who injected these files likely would've publicized the fact, if it was done to demonstrate a flaw with the ability to post arbitrary data to blockchain. That we're only hearing about it now suggests not.
It's called a poison pill. For it to work, you need the patient/victim to swallow the pill first. If they publicized this when they first did it, people would have been on the lookout, updated the tools to make it visible, and adopted a policy of rolling back "bad" commits. Now the blockchain is irrevocably (probably) tainted.
My bet? Even the guy who found this called in the cops to say "holy hell, I found this, I need you to be clear that I found this and immediately called you, and I need you to tell me the proper thing to do here so that I'm not in legal peril.. keep the computer, my complements, here's my backups too".
You don't want to be the one caught with that shit. Because the problem is as soon as you have it, you're guilty of the crime of having it.
True. And imagine a situation arises where you have a legitimate need to view the arbitrary data stored to the blockchain. You have to acquire the tools for viewing that data, and you have to do it now, after news of this data becomes public. How hard will it be to explain to a judge or jury that you really need it, and the timing is simply a coincidence.
That's amazingly bad design. Put in a nice, wide sidewalk, then instead of doing curb cuts and crosswalk markings just put a "No pedestrians" sign in the middle of the damn sidewalk. What else is that path for, if not pedestrians?
some jackasses figured out how to "borrow" money you have no intention of paying back
If they keep doing this, why do people keep lending money to them?
The money is paid back, just not by the jackasses. It's paid back by liquidating all the assets and whatever pension obligations might have existed. If your goal is to extract maximum profit, when you walk away the target has to be worth $0.
Daylight saving - not savings - may be a lost cause. But could you at least decide which one is your local standard and do it consistently throughout the summary?
But if a change was made, I hope it would rationalize not only timekeeping but the calendar, too, which is a train wreck of historical anachronisms.
You're not the first to wish this. There are several proposals. Here's my favorite:
The calendar year has 13 months with 28 days each, divided into exactly 4 weeks (13 × 28 = 364). An extra day added as a holiday at the end of the year (after December 28, i.e. equal December 31 Gregorian), sometimes called "Year Day", does not belong to any week and brings the total to 365 days.
Yes, it handles leap year also. Details at the link.
And, perhaps the biggest cheap shortcut is that the microphone is not in the slider, where it can be put in front of your mouth, but is on the phone itself. That completely ruins the advantage the 8110 had over all other phones in that you could put the mic in front of your mouth, like with a real phone.
Seriously? It's just decorative now? Actually it's worse than that. You could remove the slider entirely and it would be a better phone.

Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus has launched a cryptocurrency.
DogeCoin was started a joke, but has a current market cap of $340 Million.
How long until this is available in glasses?
Yeah, that's the one with the "No crosswalk" sign in it. Really stupid design.
Oh, that's the next sign! Yeah, but that's because of the right-turn lane, not because of bikes crossing there.

>> This dude is a fucking inspiration.
You have a strange kind of inspiration when you fuck.
I dunno. Get all hot and wet after lying to people about your intentions, then make a mess and call the paramedics. Seems about right.
Where did you get the idea there were no videos or photos?

I can see the curvature of the Earth in that video, but it's curved the wrong direction! What the fuck?
This is at least as old as the British Empire.

We're better than that here.
Have you met us?
Right now, cheese and toppings are added by a co-worker .
What the actual fuck? No, this thing doesn't have co-workers.
The product that they sell is given to them for free by billions of really, really dumb people.
The product they sell is those billions of people.
The headline is taken from the article being quoted. The summary - the three sentences that aren't the quote - accurately summarize what was reported.
What the fuck will satisfy you?
Detroit metro alone has a population of over 4 million. 100,000 people is kind of a rounding error.
25% is a rounding error now?
Math skills FTW!
I know a few people out in California silicon valley who say these companies and liberal California is pricing itself out of the business market.
Yeah, it's like the old saying: It's gotten so crowded that nobody goes there any more.
PS: What does "liberal" have to do with this conversation?

I wanted to jump all over your first post, but this:
Being color blind doesn't help, nor does my poor sense of smell / taste.
OK, for you cooking might actually be hard. I can totally believe that presents challenges I would never think of.
