  1. separate votes by region, demographics? on Hollywood Is Losing the Battle Against Online Trolls (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    Couldn't IMDB separate votes to certain criteria? Sure it will get one star in Turkey, but usually people care more about scores given by people in the same region and age - or as some prefer cohort.

    No worries, car will have a sealed tank that lasts only 2 years. You will have to replace car after that time.

  3. Re:Only one drawback. on It's Official: Apple is Testing Self-Driving Cars · · Score: 1

    Close, you can tank only at iGas station else you have to buy iNozzle to be able to tank at regular gas station. Unfortunately it sticks 1 yard out of your car, but that should be minor inconvenience - "iUsers will buy it anyway" (iTradeMark).

  4. how does it differ from original fitbit? on Fitbit's New Smartwatch Has Been Plagued By Production Mishaps (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that new Fitbit last even less than original one or they finally realized that they have issue with quality? I had 3 different Fitbits none of them lasted more than 9 months.

  5. The thing they are looking for is experience. I have seen people who came into Java from main frame systems. They wrote Java in a main frame/functional way. No thank you.

  6. back to back bleaching on 'Unprecedented' Bleaching Damages Two-Thirds Of Australia's Great Barrier Reef (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

  11. Boom - I do not think that this name will fly... on Aerospace Startup Will Build A Supersonic Mach 2.2 Aircraft (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    I do not think that this name will fly with current airport security. They will have to do a hell of job with PR to promote Boom supersonic plane. Don't event think about trying to spell it out at any airport.

  13. self driving cars - not a solution for commute on Americans' Shift To The Suburbs Sped Up Last Year (fivethirtyeight.com) · · Score: 1

    Sure, you can improve commute time with self driving cars, but why would you invest so much energy into this? My commute is 0 minutes - I work from home. 0 wasted time and I can move/live anywhere. If I were to imagine the next step - it would be VR/AR headset to see all coworkers in a virtual space that would cost way less than new car with AI.

  14. A lot of intersections in Chicago have a count down timer for pedestrians which is a good indicator when yellow/red will kick in.

What if these wi-fi cameras are on purpose subsidized by government and indeed have back doors?

  25. How is it criminal??? Based on what you are saying we should deleagalize any type of training that leads to killing someone; starting with police and ending with military. This is a cyberwar.
