Hmm... how about adding displays on the pillars connected to cameras that fill in the view (adjusted to whatever the driver's head position is at any time)?

Most interesting quote: Carlip suggests instead that in a spacetime foam scenario, energy would exist everywhere in a vacuum—but if you took a much closer look, you would find Planck-sized areas that have an equal likelihood of expanding or

It looks like similar functionality to Hedgehog but with hosting as a service, and extra functions added. Or is that off base? How would you contrast your security and functional approaches to what they're doing? https://hed

Google is equally horrible about adwords (and probably most other customer service related issues). They terminated our adwords account saying that there was something wrong with the site it was advertising and giving a list of 12 extremel

There's also the KLF's classic book, "The Manual: How To Have A Number 1 The Easy Way" which describes how to make a record that goes to #1 without having any talent or money: https://archive.org/details

What you're saying is the reverse of the situation I'm complaining about. I'm not saying that they should specify how soon fiber is coming. Yes, then they'd have a support issue as you describe. I'm saying that they

Sure,there are all kinds of problems and all kinds of things that could/should be done to fix them. Micro-trenching would be wonderful. None of that excuses withholding information from customers to prevent them from being able to make

I used to be a big support of Sonic for years, but have changed my mind as of late. They skipped my block for fiber, and I thought there could be some issue (like the fact that a Muni electric line runs down it) that might make it impossibl

Another point about hosted platforms: if they run slowly, there's not that much you can do to fix it. Here's a GTMetrix report for the aforementioned site: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/sockfancy.com/gSNvn

Here are some excerpts from my recent conversation with Shopify support: Q: noticed that sockfancy.com is using shopify? is there a way to set things up like they do: user checks off the options they want and then they go directly to a sin

Fun fact: WordPerfect was written in assembler for (I think) the Data General minicomputer. Every other version was cross-assembled to the given platform. This was told to me by Alan Ashton, the CEO and founder of WordPerfect, in around 198

So let's say we did this way back in time, when only 100 humans had been born. They could have been in the 1st half or the 2nd half. In either case, this would seem to predict that no more than 100 more would be born, which is clearly

All incorrect: - Prius Prime does qualify for HOV lanes - Prius Prime is much quieter than previous generation Prius - Prius Prime acceleration in my experience is just fine. Also, I regularly see 62 MPG on highway driving at 65

Hi Roneil It looks very cool. Just skimming the documentation, there isn't anything on how to perform actual wallet functions, or whether encrypt/decrypt data using public/private keys is available (which is something I'

So wait, we're sending entire server states from one satellite to another every few seconds, rather than routing the data to the satellite when needed? Seems like it would be a trade-off that would be worthwhile only for a small number

In what use cases would you think users would prefer paying for this rather than using Apple's notes app, which also syncs to my phone, ipad, etc?
