  1. I prefer UIs where controls disappear occasionally and you need to swipe in different directions to get different behavior. It is more of a bonus if swiping produces different behavior depending on what screen you are in.

  2. Coal is Making Australia Great Again.

    He means that this is a "jaw-droppingly stupid" idea. This isn't a "dare", it is a stupid idea that shouldn't have made it past the napkin stage.

  4. How is this a massively challenging problem? You are uploading pictures of faces and doing facial recognition matches against a database of faces? Do you think this is the first system?

    "it's a machine learning model that even they don't know exactly what it does all the time"

    "Machine learning" is the new alchemy. It must be working but no one "knows what it does".

    Or just call it "driver assist", but that wouldn't be flashy enough for those types of companies.

  7. Re:Will it (finally) prioritise the user ? on 'Fuchsia Is Not Linux': Google Publishes Documentation Explaining Their New OS (xda-developers.com) · · Score: 2

    I think you just proved his point. You sound like a computer engineer and those things sound "worse" to you, because that isn't how it has been done in the past. It does make sense to prioritize the interactive task, and all resources that the interactive task uses, even down to the system level. It may not be possible with current systems, but that is computer engineer thinking. It may not be a good idea either.

  8. "The crash happened on a clear day with several hundred feet of visibility ahead"

    And yet your "AI" crashed and killed someone. What idiots. Enough with the AI BS. It ain't happening.

    It isn't "your data". You gave it to them. You are only getting a copy.

    Yes. I didn't realize that was Boston. Who knew?

    OK, that isn't what it means, but please explain when this technology will appear that will "automate" house cleaning? Why will it appear in 20 years? Is there some sudden advancement in technology that I am not aware of?

    Really? In Boston? In 2018? You guys need to actually visit Boston. Most cod comes from Alaska and Scandanavia or Canada at this point.

  13. Ridiculous data on How Will Automation Affect Different US Cities? (northwestern.edu) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The backing data is ridiculous. A house cleaner has a 94.5% likelihood of being automated? How? What planet are these people living on, where they see automated robots appearing soon that have the ability to clean a house? The best we can come up with is Roomba, and that is a complete joke. These "researchers" need to get a real job and learn about technology.

    Boston is a major fishing hub? Is this the 1800s?

    And so does Google...and Microsoft...and your credit card company...and your bank...and credit services...and everyone else. You guys are stunningly naive. The point is that collecting the data should be illegal.

  16. I don't understand what you guys want. Do you not think every web property tracks you? Do you not think Slashdot doesn't track you? There are a dozen web trackers on this website. The mind boggles!

  17. Better idea on Facebook Launches Bug Bounty Program To Report Data Thieves (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Here is a better idea: do it yourself. You know, actually monitor your website and stuff. It is a radical idea.

    You do realize these a cheap low power e-Bike batteries, not AA batteries, right? You can get them for $50 shipped from China. Even crack whores aren't dumb enough to steal these.

  19. Cancel on Dual-Motor Tesla Model 3 Possibly Coming In July (electrek.co) · · Score: 1

    Can I cancel my existing Model 3 order, so I can get a dual motor? After all, if one motor is good, two must be twice as good!

  20. I'm not advocating for anything. My point is that it is pointless. US users can still (easily) use the website. So what is the difference if you are "banning" US users? You aren't.

    Why prepaid CC? I just use a CC. You get $10 credit when you sign up, so you don't have to pay anything. I have no idea about the bikes. They are just electric assist ones.
