The US government has this authority, and has quite likely used this authority in your lifetime.

Do you know of any good write-ups on how this works? I've often thought I was crazy for noticing weird "glitches" when around some of the newest projectors. I'll see "sparkles" or flashes of a solid color out o

I'd recommend that if you receive threats of a swatting, whether you're a content creator or not, it's a good idea to talk to your local police department about it the moment it happens. Unfortunately, I speak from experience

Where I live, I'd estimate that a third of the passenger cars are Teslas. No data to back that up, but that's what I tend to see day to day. The diversity of drivers is significant enough to suggest that "all kinds of people&

The mirror's angle can change, while driving, in such a way that pulling over to stop and fix it isn't the safest option. With dedicated tactile controls you can adjust mirrors without taking your eyes off the road, while also ver

All of these things can be done without looking if you use voice commands. They can be done with a scroll wheel/button as well if you spend five minutes, once, to set your preferences for what the wheel controls. That said, I hate the

One very important part your comment doesn't mention: a real human being has to actually take images for the AI to analyze. The amount of training a radiation technologist (the person who makes you put your body in uncomfortable positi

This article could have been written as a single sentence and still been just as empty of substance as the original mess of sentences: "By revolution, we mean that 'good' tech workers are just laying low."

I think the NYT should take him up on that offer. Those striking can probably pull off a 404media business model instead while they watch NYT turn into USA Today, except worse.

I'm an old man and have heard "learnings" used to mean "lessons" for most of my life. I think "learnings" has advantages over "lessons" given that "learnings" has one meaning, while &qu

The site for the game shows the skull of a human inside of a helmet. Suggesting that your choices will impact who dies in the game is about as much a spoiler as knowing you shoot guns in Call of Duty. Frankly, if you don't want to risk

I use a pocket sized notepad with graph paper that I use to track "streaks." Each row represents a day, and each column represents the activity that I want to track. The day to day benefits are nice. It's easy to use, doesn&#

My insurance company requires me to sign an affidavit affirming that my adult child will not drive a car insured by said company. If my adult child does drive my car and gets in a collision, the affidavit is used by the insurance company to

New hardware justifies new software, etc. Eventually, they'd like to sell you another game. You're more likely to buy that game if you've "kept up."

I'm not sure how to answer your question, but can say with authority that you're free to extract as much or as little value out of it as you'd like.

Or extract $99 worth of value out of it and let people laugh when the license changes. The math isn't that hard.

You claim that "20% of tinnitus cases caused by loud noises" without providing citation, then suggest there's more research do all in the same breath - well done.

There's too little information for anyone to give you a solid answer on this. You'd need a lawyer to examine all the existing agreements and contracts, then imagine the sorts of legal cases you'd need to defend against even i

I was about to say "hey, in most US states what you're saying is illegal" and realized I was letting that myth live in my head as if it were true. So, to be clear for anyone else with the same problem I had: Merchants in all

The lawyer is getting paid whether you file something or not. They're employees of the company. I think they care less about their cost to their employer and more about wasting their time on petty stuff (when they could be doing import

While this may have some appeal, I think it'll be similar to the fake Time magazine covers that made it look like someone you knew was named Time's person of the year. Good for a chuckle, but not much more. I think applying the sa

I wouldn't say it's the entire website. You simply can't place orders. All other parts of the site are fully functional on Saturdays.

I would have fought the "has no function" angle instead of suggesting it was "just for fun." In actual fact, it does have function. I have personally asked "is it Tuesday?" more than zero times in my life. This

The folks behind ALIEN might want to re-consider their choice of logo. It's nearly identical to Flickr's logo (flickr.com).
