   Why was her YouTube channel nuked after this happening? Seems weird and dystopian, even if what she did was obviously very wrong.

   It can't detect when a crash is about to happen. The driver manually pushes the brakes there. I have only worked tangentially with self-driving systems but in general they are very bad at dealing with stationary objects - this is why i

   I disagree. Its undoubtedly a political issue. When it was used by Obama, the media lauded it as a genius use of tech and proof that his campaign was 'hooked in' to modern tools. Trump is obviously less popular in certain circles,

   It's strange to me how much emphasis they're putting on the tweet. Wasn't the spark that incensed China so much their decision to list Tibet as a country in the survey?

   I think most of their peers are mature enough to realize that the poor (historic) management decisions of a company (which are now catching up to said company) are not reflective of the personality or character of the hundreds of thousands

   I think you're reading a lot into the single response he got. For anyone who doesn't want to click through, the reply said: "It appears that this requires the other party to also have the app installed, right?" There&#x2

   Yes, it's been proven that un-protected bike lanes such as those are very dangerous. There are more and more separators coming out ( https://peopleforbikes.org/blog/a-new-generation-of-bike-lan... ) to allow for pro

    And yet companies like AT&T and Comcast have been able to improve their infrastructure and launch fiber in more and more areas in the Bay Area (it's more than just San Francisco, you know!) The cause is not NIMBYism, or any other n

    Additionally, just because someone is interested in Japanese candies, doesn't mean they like anime. The high-pitched annoying cartoon voice really turned me off right away, and it's not immediately obvious in the first 10 seconds

    I was not aware that a single tweet by Mike Isaac, who has a tendency to be extremely snarky about everything, represented the feelings of everyone on Twitter. Don't get me wrong, Isaac is right a lot, but he's also wrong a lot, a

    Weird, I find Discord's audio quality especially to be terrible. And their lack of scalable monetization leads me worried about its longterm success as a platform - they are adding more cost-intensive features and continuing to try to

    That's basically how cooking works though... you adjust the spice level, particularly salt, after each step... to taste.

    I always enjoy installing and configuring complicated 3rd party software! This BetterTouchTool is way better than any out of the box "it just works" software...

    Every other car model with an 'automatic driving' or 'autopilot' feature will begin to slow if you ignore prompts to put your hands on the wheel. Tesla is the only car manufacturer that does not have a gradual emergency

    These guys should talk to startups like Turo and Getaround. Will be a huge help to the peer-to-peer carsharing companies.

    My point is that salt also produces that effect. And sugar. And bitterness, for that matter. Literally every flavor is a biological indicator of nutrition. MSG is no 'worse' than anything else.

    Pokemon Go is magnitudes larger than Ingress, their previous project, even though it's been plagued with more issues than Ingress and is arguably not as fully featured. The difference? Pokemon, which Nintendo owns. If I was an investor

    It doesn't make snacks any harder to resist than salt. From a food production standpoint, MSG is a popular additive because it offers an affordable way to enhance the flavor of a wide variety of savory foods. MSG can also be used to re

    Did you include Chipotle as a joke, or is it somehow more "hipster" to you than McDonald's...? I really don't understand this comment. I agreed with the first sentence and then proceeded to get more and more lost until I

    When I think of Imgur, I think of 1) first 'decent' image host in a dark time, 2) terrible policies/management.
