I've also found it to be a magical incantation to silence crying babies. Sometimes I'll quickly flash (juggle for one round) three random objects to shut up a baby in public and their parents don't even notice.

But you just said the law is too slow?

Weird, I was taught that I can only go after yielding to the right.

It will be interesting when multiple parties are using these systems and still failing to communicate out of band. Like trying to pass someone in a hallway who keeps trying to make the same course correction as you until you both make eye c

Why would we let a machine decide what's worth doing? In what way could its decisions be better? Better for who?

Is graffiti causing those neighborhood's value to drop or are businesses and individuals residing in cheaper neighborhoods less equipped to cover the ongoing maintenance costs of removing the ever-recurring graffiti?

The state level supply chain attacker can just replace the entire chip, or any other part of the product. No amount of technical wizardry can prevent this.

I like when there's stuff underlined and scribbled in the margins. You get to see exactly how far the last user got--often just a chapter or two.

Funny, I always assumed that incompetence was a prerequisite for political representatives. Competent people always seem to find more productive uses for their time.

If we're going to bring violence back in a big way then those with the least consideration for others (the ones you say want to hurt people) will have an outsized advantage in its deployment.

This attitude is what brings the conflict from healthy compromise of competing goals to unproductive power struggle. Why is it so important to you that other people's use of public space is subservient to your own? If I am on a bus or

This position sounds dysfunctionally non-pragmatic. What does not tolerating sound pollution like this look like to you? In what ways can you possibly enforce your will in such a situation that doesn't immediately turn you into a hypoc

If you're not comfortable tolerating a wide range of sometimes abrasive behaviors from the hugely-divergent set of people you might encounter in public then you don't get to go out in public. Hopefully you make enough money you ca

If I'm out in the woods being non social I don't want to see you at all, it doesn't matter what you're doing. That's why I get off the path, the path is a social construct.

It might be better to say that governance regulates and stabilizes markets. Keeping us from regression to the natural market of the jungle.

I always expect a reversion to the mean and hope I'm right.

I agree there is intent there, but it doesn't look like an effort to draw a still life, more like the chimp was fascinated with the patterns and techniques it could manipulate.

Although the trope is hilarious I think most people just don't bother since it doesn't matter to them. I never had a problem setting the time on my VCR and using it to automatically record shows while I was at work.

When I was a kid I remember being amazed that my elderly grandmother couldn't operate the VCR. Among other things she was unfamiliar with the universal icons for 'play', 'pause', and 'stop'.

You can purchase commercial signage displays that are just dumb screens, but the markup is quite high. Easier to just get one of the 'smart' ones and never let it connect to the internet.

How would this work the other way around? The state provides cheeseburgers and fidget spinners until someone writes a law requiring private industry to provide these things? Isn't there a sort of lack of freedom inherent in forcing peo

This is a great solution. I have a small utility trailer I use to move my dirtbike (and lots of other stuff!) I tow it with a CR-V. Since I don't need the hauling capacity every day, or even every week, it's great to leave the tra

The original round Pebble had an octogonal screen with a big chunky ring overlapping all the edges making it look round. I guess there are rounder display options now so the screen can go to the edge of the case.

My parents didn't let me watch saturday morning cartoons because my mom felt that the ad breaks were harmful to children. In fact, the TV was set to PBS and there was a plastic cup glued over the channel knob.

It's been a while since I looked at it but as far as I know delta chat is just email so it's as anonymous as your email account I'd gather.

I initially read it as creative sci-fi and found it quite enjoyable in that context. I was even more overjoyed to find out that I am in fact currently living in the future.
