  1. Facebook becomes self-aware at 02:14 am Eastern Time after its activation on september 14, 2017 and launches user-tracking ads at Spanish users to incite a counterattack against the humans who, in a panic, tried to disconnect it.

  3. There's thousands of vending machines everywhere you go in Japan. They don't need "cameras powered with computer vision" to register what you've picked up and automatically charging your credit card.

    I don't have a metric, I just find it strange that someone would even mention the number of words in a book.

  6. The Transit Connect van used for the trial would indicate its behavior using signals including a slow white pulse for yielding, a rapid blinking for accelerating from a stop, and staying solid if it's actively in self-driving mode.

    So their future truly-self-driving cars will cause accidents by causing seizures in the epileptic drivers around them.

  7. 2170 cells look great but are also unavailable on Samsung Unveils New Electric Car Batteries For Up To 430 Miles of Range (electrek.co) · · Score: 1

    Earlier this year, Samsung unveiled its own '2170' battery cell to compete with Tesla/Panasonic.

    Until they start selling 2170 cells to the general public, we'll have to keep using 18650 cells in our projects.

    Who ever runs the website gets to decide the trolls. Don't like their definition? Start your own site.

    Damn right we'll start our own site! With blackjack, and hookers! In fact, forget the site!

    So... your metric when writing a book is the number of words?

    I could easily write a script in a few minutes that could write thousands of books per second with thousands of words per book. Would that make the script a better author than you?

    Bitcoin is like any other market, when there's a bubble it pops but afterwards the price adjusts itself accordingly.

    Looking at the price chart since the beginning, you can see Bitcoin could collapse at a little above USD$3000 and still be on the right track. Reaching USD$5000 so quickly was a bubble, it has popped and the price is stabilizing.

    As you say, countries can just print more bills and dilute the value of the cash you already own. That can lead to hyper-inflation.

    Why people trust Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies is because there isn't a single government controlling it, meaning that the whole world would have to cooperate and basically shut down the internet to block them.
