“It’s OK if I do it”.

Get some ethical consistency.

Wow, sex-shaming against a woman on Jezebel. Because women should be pushed to the margins based on their partners, right?

This is truly amazing. This one belongs in a museum.

Be very, VERY careful on electric motorcycles.

Time to build a Tejon Tunnel. It would make the whole grapevine transit much safer, too. Trucks in one tunnel, passenger cars in another, and then a 3rd tunnel for the inexplicably ever-present pickup trucks full of old refrigerators that just have to drive in the #1 lane on the grapevine every time I go through there.

When it is a big enough issue in society that doing so can feed their extreme, ruinous need for attention.

I am bookmarking this reply to come back to it when the assumption of “exponential income” isn’t holding up too well.

Don’t blame the techno-turds. Blame the self-proclaimed “progressives”, to whom their idea of progression is: nothing is allowed to ever change.

If you leveraged all the “digital manufacturing”, maker movement, and open designs that are out there, I think you could definitely operate in the space close to the “startup” zone. Or at least be in the bougie space of fixtures, furniture, custom architecture, and high end durable goods that is adjacent to it.

It sounds like you know more about the state of the industry than me, so don’t hold back, and set me straight on anything I misrepresent.

I’ll put a down payment on one right now!

Given the amount of features and tech that people want in cars these days (hybrid drivetrains, infotainment systems, big battery packs, etc), a new generation of vehicles in the same class as conversion vans would be a great idea. Maybe not for the SF dweller, and, I know, literally no one in the world would dare say…

What? no no no no. Everyone is supposed to go into tech. Tech tech tech. Right to comfortable work, right to take the elevator to the penthouse, right to have demographic representation equal to or greater than national demographic proportion.
It doesn’t make sense for anyone to ever do anything other than tech, since…

If this was in California, security guards are not allowed to detain you, except for under a very specific criteria. Trespassing is not enough; CA PC says that in response to trespassing, even with posted signs, you still have to tell the person to leave before you can do anything. Again, this may be very different in…

Apple has been collecting and using your iPhone location data for its ad market since day one.

Doesn’t a huge amount of military hardware actually run VxWorks or WindRiver embedded OS’s?

In a summary way. For example, I have a number of friends who are white as a sheet, but were born in South Africa, some from Egypt, and some from Morocco. Now that they live in the US, they are all counted as “African-Americans”, not Egyptian-Americans, South-African-Americans, etc.

> Hell, my remote control required a chunk of an afternoon for teaching it to speak to the cable box and the TV

It is 2015. We’re supposed to be living in the future. The RF4CE standard has existed for many years now. How do we not have RF remotes, with 802.15.4 (zigbee) radios in them? How are home device…

They were immigrant workers. They were just *forced* immigrant workers, who were forcefully expatriated from their country.

You know, *everyone* changed their tune when it came to the Charlestown incident.

We really should extend this level of sympathy to all inmates. We, as a society, don’t have the moral authority to imprison people, no matter what they did. Especially since everyone has the potential to be a good person in the future, and that can’t be disproven.
