I've given up on PvP. What I never understood was; if I "git gud" then all that really does is shift the "I can't win" problem to someone else. It doesn't resolve it. Now if you ha…

> As for detecting rain, that'd be a whole other algorithm. I'd be happy with a "phone is locked, maps is on display still, register no screen input" so nothing changes until I unl…

I vote for a "lock it in" feature for motorbike riding. I set up the route, clip the phone onto the quadlock mount, ride down the street and it auto changes the route because of so…

Organised crime involves the corruption of institutions too - specifically to allow getting away with it. But I like your take on it as institutionalised crime because it is now pu…

...doing more research... That's almost as long as Australia has been colonised and certainly older than Australian federation and yet, A1 steak sauce is not a big thing in our sup…

> hit it with that A1 This is likely some food thing I don't know about rather than a quite large piece of paper yeah? But when I google "A1 food": - AI summary: "A1 is a famous Ma…

> Buying a robot to do it It depends what you value. There's "zoning out going through the motions" for mindfulness and then there's "building stuff!" for interest, learning and fu…

My comment was a bit trite but I was actually hoping for a reasonable shot at doing something worthwhile. My expectations for doing it properly would be: - facilities. Sure, high p…

> Fortunately the novelty wore off fair swiftly. The application sure, but the novelty of it being nuclear rather than conventional kept parties interested in it for quite a while!…

I believe that is referred to as: organised crime.

One of the issues is the network effect self reinforcing by the organistions you'd normally trust to be above this sort of thing. Like government bodies requiring that you use one …

Between Saudi and right wing influence it seems one publisher will be trying to influence social commentary.

> No, but you should know the top 5 dishes of the 10-15 most popular cuisines of the world, at least. That's only about 50-75 dishes; many individual restaurants have bigger menus …

I just want to point out the exception - the person who the AI learns from. Someone has to know it. And to advance it to the next level requires domain level expertise. Or are we a…

Sensible defaults and/or a basic wizard to choose templated configs or assist with customising the few things that have to be.

It's different use cases and daily living styles entirely. You can't compare nations and cultures as though they operate in an equivalent manner.

Even if it doesn't work for the UK. Australia could do this easily. Proportionally less population, less snow covered territory and general coldness = easier requirements. Land cov…

> we could make EVs with the same form factor as today but with over a thousand miles of range. Not that we need that I think this is the way to go. For most people (you can never …

I find this whole discussion weird. The whole world is in a transition phase. For some it will make sense to jump to pure EV use, for others it won't. That whole “The future is alr…

What is the world view (aka context) of this little old lady? Watch the news and see CEO's with golden handshakes after the company is nailed for something. Wall street failures. C…
