I would be wary about replacing a mirror and turning your head with such a system so its main advantage that you don't need to take your eyes off the oncoming road is moot. As a supplemental system the advantages would include redund

When ATMs were first implemented they would dispense money before or at the same time as giving your card back. This resulted in premature conclusion errors. They went to the ATM to get money. They got their money so they left... forgetting

It's not hard to argue the ongoing security costs could easily reach that amount. i.e Security for trump and family cost 30 million in 2017 and these families would suffer similar political targeting. Though ofcourse we can argue that

Just because doing something has a negative outcome it doesn't mean not doing it can't have a worse outcome. i.e. if a car jacker threatens to shoot you if you don't hand over your car that doesn't mean handing over your

"Eat the bugs", "Woke", "Socialist" can all be used in a positive way it's just that they are also often used by the US right wing in a negative way. You'll understand that when Alex Jones is calling

The point is it won't reach an equilibrium. The outside of the house changes temperature with the day night cycle. The one uninsulated wall will be closer to the outside temperature than the other walls. As the house cools at the end o

You are implying that two people reading the same physical book is piracy with your statement. With that kind of logic someone reading the same book twice that they only paid for once would be piracy if the author wished that they could ha

If you could push a button once an hour that gave $1,000 to you and $99,000 to the government you are saying you'd feel like you're being punished for pushing it? Let's not pretend that billionares are working 1.44 million ho

The main advantage I can see (over resedential + portability) is you can pause the service so basically if you wanted it for 1 month a year it's only going to cost you that $200 (Plus the significantly larger amaortized $1000 if you us

The same argument could be made about an escrow account. Just because the account gets payed to one party by the third party doesn't mean that the second party couldn't sue the first for the money back. Assuming the third party ma

Good on Google for walking this back. I have no clue on dkim/spf/dmarc implementation details (so correct me if I'm wrong) but I can't imagine it costs google anymore to send an email as "yourname@example.com"

It really is a great one. I think it evokes such incredulity that someone could point it out in good faith while also technically possibly being a correct statement that it's just humourous by itself. It's got the irony that evide

In theory you can go here [1] and whitelist your phone to have a custom rom on your phone count as play protected. In practice it's another google service that doesn't work and you get no support for it when it doesn't work.

Sure, and in much the same way robot chefs that can cook a whole meal exist. You just need to open the door put your food in and push the start button and 30 seconds later your food is ready.
