A little easier? Seems to me it would make theft a lot easier; it removes the requirement that everything you're buying has to come out of the bag and in front of a cashier. Self-checkout still requires things to come out of your bag

From the article and video, looks like the requirements are a thin tube and a block of translucent material to focus light onto the tube. And presumably the tube needs to be the right length, to give it enough sun time to react at a given f

Clyde Mandelin has done something similar, https://legendsoflocalization.com/wanderbar/ , but without claiming "AI" and by producing HTML in a sidebar instead of voice or screen-alteration. (also useful for n

Apple is already charging a premium for their stuff. Selling a more-expensive-than-the-competition product by pushing hard on style and branding is what they do .

There's others. Antichamber is probably the biggest I've heard of? Taking "like Portal" more broadly as "3D first-person environmental/traversal puzzle games", maybe Outer Wilds.

I had heard that the reason tomatoes were thought poisonous in Europe is because the acidity would leach lead from pewter plates.

Ten minutes, maybe five minutes if the school is small enough physically to get between rooms in that time. The break is definitely not meant to be long enough for more than "get to your next class" - and that's from someone

Well, the three times there make about a second for one light-change. So let's say it makes two light-changes, to be sure, for three images (it does say "multiple images", not "two"). That's two seconds, and th

It says "known". It doesn't say that native populations did not commit crimes among themselves, only that we have no record of such. I don't know whether that's accurate, but it doesn't seem too unreasonable. P

If productivity goes up but wages are flat, the productivity doesn't help the person who's being more productive.

The root comment said "company wide illegal behavior". That's not the same as "nobody ever commits a crime".

How likely are they to rip open a stuffed animal and find the electronics? Depends on the security level, and the weight.

"Single digit profit margins" is in terms of percentages. I'm talking absolutes: However low the profit margin is as a percentage, as long as it's positive and the owner makes more than enough to live on, it could be mad

No? Even if only the employees of one particular company get a wage increase, that's however-many-people-work-there who now have more money to spend. It might not be a very large number of people, depending on the company, but it doesn

"Low margin" is relative. If the owner is taking home more money than the employees, there's room to shift things. I would bet quite a lot that most Burger Kings are in that position.

If people are buying the AR to remove ads, the company that makes AR that just replaces ads with other ads probably won't sell much.

> A lot of people are pretty much in the position where they have to shop on price. Keep in mind, though, that if a larger portion of money went to the workers, less of them would be in that position.

Worker wages could go up without increasing the cost of a burger (or other food item), it would just mean the owners make less money per sale. If the decreased stress leads to Burger King workers being more productive (and/or more plea

The list seems likely to be important, but I note that no form of material compensation is listed, and even people who don't particularly care for material wealth will probably put food-and-shelter above most or all of that list (with

New entrypoints are a change; they're just a change that takes a while to develop fully. More people get into electronic music who otherwise mightn't've, and they bring their perspectives with them.

Well, this isn't that. The interpretation may vary slightly, but there are definitely established meanings for "platform" and "utility" for a judge to work from (though "platform" might be only the plain-E
