Questions about how this is going to be implemented and enforced from a technical and legal perspective are missing the point/benefit: this is about empowering parents and collecti…

Saran Wrap ( https://www.itconsultancy.org/malware/name/saran-wrap-1-0 )

My last ADSL router/modem from Vodafone (UK telecoms/broadband company - unsure who the OEM was) was amazing in this respect. You could configure it to have all the lights off by d…

Seems to me the quick solution would be to grant a blanket exemption based on the resolution of surface features.

I believe it would though. It's already happening higher up the supply chain where conveyor belts of produce are graded using computer vision (and other techniques, I'm sure). This…

A new pair of dark-coloured jeans is enough to mess up light coloured seats; it's probably not 'dirt' in the traditional sense. (I agree with you that the staff should be ensuring …

Actually some Volvos do have pedestrian air bags! (But your point still stands, of course.)

I think it might have been something by William Gibson? I believe she had to cut through the seatbelt and then call a friend to step out in front of the car causing it to career of…

Something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti_(Palm_OS) could work on smartwatches?

I'm hoping that this will be the 'solution' if AI eats many jobs. With an ageing population there's plenty of caring to be done. Hopefully society will figure out a way to value it…

Don't see why not. Just make sure they have accessible ISOFIX (UAS) connectors and it'd be very straightforward.

They aren't really 'human rights' until they are applied to all humans. They're merely 'American Rights'.

Hmm. I think if you try posit a canonical definition of the word 'Hacking' here, you're going to have a bad time. The community decides the relevance by voting. > The status quo is…

That's a great story. It'd be interesting to know whether that was all they could afford, or if they were being very forward-thinking in using COTS hardware and a failure-tolerant …

From TFA: "It represents less than one percent of all known water ice on Mars..."

Maybe incorporate an Ubuntu-style 'suggested payment' part to the signup? You could have one or two reminders during the course if they choose 'Free'. Or supplement with paid-for c…

If it does actually work faster than fibre then some early high-paying customers could be high-frequency traders (HFT). Those folks already go to amazing lengths and great expense …

That is interesting. I wouldn't say it puts Tesla in direct competition with LG & Samsung, but does address the 'how will they ever catch up?' questions wrt traditional car makers.…

> This isn't really a place for relationship advice Yes. If we could let people relate their experience as customers without giving unwanted relationship advice that'd be great.

I'd agree with you if this were any other product. The marketing campaign in this instance was so utterly, totally, disastrously successful that it's become a cultural phenomena. R…

Whenever I've seen high-end Windows laptops with a build quality to rival Apple's, they cost the same or more and have poorer resale value.

The substance of her comment was a distaste for the establishment's views and treatment of African Americans. I wouldn't say makes her a racist. Of course the term 'blacks' is, cer…

As in external GPUs? Would these connect to USB3 or do they require something more heavy duty?

Okay, slight hyperbole from OP, but the point still stands: most people need to buy (and find room for) a desktop PC in order to experience VR. Also, you linked to a parts list. Th…
