Second this. I learned to use mirrors and look over your shoulder as you open the door. Like you would if you were to take a left turn. Basic situational awareness.. This whole "Dutch reach" thing sounds more like something writte

I did that some years ago on hangouts and it was almost real time. My buddy was on a machine without ad blocker and as soon as we started talking (as an experiment) about cars and mentioning a certain brand a few times, he received ads for

I see a good opportunity for government to make this a reality. Not per se a fan of gov regulation for many things but I don't see this moving forward very fast. There are initiatives left and right (e.g. Talos) but if a significantly

This only works in well connected/urban areas though. Waiting for 15 minutes or longer whenever you need to get somewhere is not acceptable for a lot of people. Also, cars act as mobile lockers for your stuff. Etc. Autonomous taxi&#x27

I went to a Montessori school for a while. Much like what is described here. For me it was fantastic and I sometimes lightly regret not continuing in high school due to (minor) practical obstacles. That said, I believe these types of system

First thing on my list tonight... airport security. Tired of this shit. There’s too much of it; there’s too much security at the airport. I’m tired of some guy with a double digit IQ and a triple digit income rooting around inside of my bag

I suspect that some sort of biologically driven urge to dominate the gene pool will keep humanity from ever reaching any form of utopia. As long as we are programmed to compete with each other, this will always reflect in the way society is

I would prefer if MS opened up their documentation and made it available for offline usage. The current options for that are hopelessly inadequate with (arbitrary) limits on the amount of data you can export. Now we get this crapscript lade

I would have had great respect if Merkel had taken a stand on this issue. Regardless of letting the supposedly trustworthy courts of Germany decide on this, this would have been an excellent opportunity to show the world what European value

I'm more afraid of Hillary becoming president actually. That would pretty much guarantee more wars and grand theft/banksterism.

I did a short consultancy gig at T-Systems (also part of Deutsche Telekom, like T-Mobile). Apparently they had bad experiences with T-Mobile services so were in the process of switching to another provider. Funnily enough, T-Mobile was not

Much like birger, I never paid for any of the 'paywalled' news outlets before. Mostly due to the terrible user experience, t&c, and lack of content (often single newspaper/magazine). Even though I find most content in new
