I wouldn't. They forced ads into my tv after I purchased it.

I don't disagree that levels 2/3 are a danger zone in self-driving technology, but I feel the need to point out that there are plenty of people who are disabled or suffer chronic injuries resulting from being rear-ended. Stop and

I wouldn't be surprised if they had to file a suspicious activity report for every one of those checks.

To be fair I see plenty of people about running with their dog and/or a baby or toddler in a stroller around here. A little creativity goes a long way if one is motivated.

The FCC has to have two opposition party commissioners. If it weren't Pai it would be someone else from the party sound the same things. Everything Pai is doing is 100% on the Republicans. If they were opposed they could easily stop hi

I'm just clearing up some confusion about definitions here, not making any comment on enforcing rights.

For me I don't really care whether ads are targeted or untargeted. It's the data collection they use to target the ads that's the real concern. I suspect that's true for most people but for some reason these discussions

You have those backward. Natural rights, at least, are considered to exist before and outside of government. Enumerated rights may derive from government, as do privileges. The "lege" in privilege literally means "law".

There are plenty of people who move to large cities for better jobs, these people could just remain in the town they already live in instead. The problem you point out then becomes a benefit. There are also people who move when they retire,

I feel the same way. Between that and my overuse of my phone for checking hn, reddit, etc. I am considering trying to make a habit of leaving my phone at home when I leave the house, at least some of the time. It's a shame that I feel

The charge/discharge efficiency for compressed air is terrible since most of the energy gets wasted as heat. This plus the terrible volumetric energy storage density makes it a nonstarter for most applications.

I'd suggest that a solution to the demand problem is basic income. Let those who can and want to move out to the sticks and live on UBI. There are a nearly unlimited number of places with low cost of living and ample or potentially amp

"This is why Netflix randomly execute some of their employees every month" Would that be their King Kong application?

I think you're disregarding that these are huge companies whose business models and moats would be significantly disrupted by a GDPR-like law. To quote GoT, chaos is a ladder. This could help new innovative companies compete, at least

Does this apply to bags that aren't of the grocery bag type? Take for example the large linked plastic bubbles that Amazon and such use as padding in their boxes. They have a recycling mark on them (#4, I think), but I'm never sur

When you say "you" here, do you mean "you" or the BOFH somewhere who controls the Exchange server? I stopped opening Lync at work because, among other issues, it wouldn't save conversations and I couldn't figur

I suspect a big part of this problem is private brands. When 100 people can order the same cheap flashlight from a no-name factory in China and list it on Amazon as their own product there is a lot of incentive to fake reviews to get an adv

It was pretty clear in the video. I myself was charged for a much lesser distraction a while back involving a crash in which I was the only one at risk and for which the other driver shared equal blame. If I had run down a pedestrian I have

Exactly so, 99% of people have never heard of posidriv and don't have the bits, or don't know they have the bits. I couldn't find anywhere in instructions or the website where Ikea mentions that you should use them, but sure

On rent control and gentrification I don't have a strong opinion right now. But I'd argue that if one has the means to buy but chooses not to, I can't feel bad for them if they get pushed out by rising rents. Buying a house i

You mean the video that showed the safety driver staring at a cell phone for 6 full seconds right up until nearly the moment of impact? Maybe that would have exonerated the driver, but only to prove how perverse our driving laws are. But in

Sure, if you want to move fast and disrupt yada yada. They shouldn't be putting hack-job self-driving cars on public roads. Either do some engineering so that they keep the backup system in place or keep it on a test track. This is Che

Do you have some evidence that every city does it? That sounds like an unreasonable assumption to me. If it's the case I would think there would be quite a bit of evidence of various cities doing it, given how many there are.

It's unfortunate that Ikea doesn't seem to publicize this or provide drive heads with their furniture (AFAIR). I was glad I picked some up before I did a kitchen with Ikea cabinets. It saved me a lot of grief.

100% agreed that this sort of thing can't really be done on individual initiative - it just makes you look like the only jerk in the building. Same with trying to keep people from holding their loud conversations next to your desk, or

Yes they are. An ideal stirling engine has the Carnot level efficiency, i.e. maximum theoretical efficiency for a heat engine. https://blog.mide.com/thermodynamic-theory-of-the-ideal-stir...

To be fair, that argument depends on the properties of evolved pathogens. A designed pathogen, in the context of the GP post, would not necessarily be bound by that dilemma.

Can you defend the huge marketing budgets of the pharma companies? I have to imagine any new-drug-awareness or training for physician roles covered currently by marketing could be filled adequately at pennies on the dollar compared to curre
