Thats the thing though... They are trying to make it "just a commuting tool". Do people care too much what the outside of their subway looks like?

Presumably, in a shared autonomous vehicle, the only thing you'd be responsible would be the interior. I would think this would be fairly easy to monitor on a user to user basis.

Do you have reason to believe these aren't intended to replace your current daily driver headphones?

Thanks a lot for the info/advice. I will definitely share. He was wondering if a small directional speaker attached to some part of the ear that allowed the natural sound to just be augmented by an amplified speaker would be better tha

My dad has tinnitus and pretty bad hearing (was a rock drummer in the 70's) but he found the hearing aids he got (they were at least a few thousand $ or more) made everything sound very digital/tinny and it was unnatural enough th

I can't help but think that maybe this is the manufacturing niche the US could fill... High quality, low run manufacturing that people are willing to pay a premium for.

It's pretty common for Kickstarter projects to ask for a lot less than they actually need. Hence the reason for all the stretch goals and such. Companies like the story to be that they blew their goal out of the water, not just barely

Unfortunately companies can't make a sustainable business around people like you. If they were to double the price, then they are going toe to toe with the features and infrastructure behind the Apple Watch, and that's an area the

You could use an extension that swaps out swear words for alternatives like "fudge". One of my coworkers used one.

Having worked at Mcdonalds in college I'm fairly certain that automation of food service would not be a major hurdle. I felt like a robot in that job.

How meaningful are jobs that could fairly easily be automated out of existence if we didn't feel the need to occupy every human?

The amount of baseless unfactchecked political/social memes that are posted on my wall on a daily basis say otherwise.

I think you vastly overestimate the general populations ability to actively inform themselves.

Yep that was the one I remember.

Good man. Cleaning up after us snotnose teenage wannabe hackers. :D

by j2bax 10y ago
Yeah it was 100% fun, no malicious intent. Judging by the downvotes, people don't find it amusing. I can see that now that I'm not a dumb teenage... but it made for fond memories none the less! And the fact that pretty non-technic

Did anyone else used to "hack" people on ICQ? If I recall correctly, ICQ would expose users IP address if they didn't intentionally hide it. My friend and I would get to chatting with strangers and then exchange photos... Onl

I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla opened up their network to other vehicles for a fee. Obviously that might require some retooling but according to Musk, he wants us to move away from ICE vehicles no matter what it takes or who gets us

Maybe they have data to suggest that plugging an iPhone into your computer isn't a very common use case anymore. I personally haven't plugged my iPhone 6 into my computer more than once or twice since I got it two years ago. With

I wonder how much phablets have caused this. When I got my iPhone 6 Plus, I very quickly saw no need for my iPad Mini anymore. Fast forward a few years and I decided to pick up an iPad Air 2 (along with a keyboard) because I find it to be a

All very valid criticisms. I especially agree with the idea that Apple should start producing/publishing top tier quality game/video content (via strategic acquisitions). I would add that they need to get in on AR/VR technolo

Just grabbed the app on iOS and checked out the sample story between an alien and a human. I actually lol'd pretty good! I could see this catching on. It's a fun, simple storytelling method using a texting like apparatus where cha

Idaho weather really isn't brutal unless you are in the north or way up in the mountains. Its really quite nice in Southern Idaho. Hot summers, absolutely perfect long falls and springs and occasional snow in the winter but it rarely s

I suppose I am speaking of a far more integrated portal for friends to play casual games together. More realtime than the newsfeed volley of 2007. If Facebook could create a really nice lobby platform and then have a handful of casual games

Facebook could do something so powerful and fun by seamlessly combining their social platform and games... But this is what they've come up with?

It's almost as if their sole purpose isn't to give you free stuff that they took the time to produce. I would think most people on this forum would be understanding and respectful of that...

Just wanted to say I appreciate your honesty about your experience. It's probably not entirely uncommon of an outcome and it's good for people wanting to go down this path to see something other than the glamour of multi-million d

Right. Few early founders have a management layer between them and the general employees. That comes years later unless they've secured massive funding and are on an extremely fast growth path (which I'm sure describes a lot of st
