- OrderlyTiamat 4y agosame, but I'm upping to within 5 years. I do not think given the history with ring that it'll take very long. Anyone wanna bet 3 years? Also reasonable I think, but I'm staying at 5.
- googlryas 4y agoWell, I appreciate you playing, but 15 years is way too long of a time frame. A majority of the bets on longbets.org aren't even for 15 years.
- sangnoir 4y agoRoomba doesn't have a Lidar vacuum,AFAIK, so I'm giving them 2-3 years to close the deal and requisite product development. I know Amazon already has their heart in the wrong place (thanks to Ring LEO posture), buy it's going to take time for police departments to cotton-on to what is possible (likely from Amazon slides). The surveillance will be technically possible in 5 years, but adjusting human factors, I think the first such news stories may break in about 7 years, albeit poorly sourced. In 15 years, it will be common knowledge. That said, you may take up sibling in their offer, as their are confident it's going to happen in 5 years.
