The last two, yes, yes you do. You think you can do any of those tasks better than a computer?

Have you ever been in a car in a developing country? Trust me, as your taxi driver is passing yet another car on a blind curve on a mountain road that also has people driving mopeds on the wrong side of the road on that very blind curve, you’ll realize that people already feel pretty invincible. And don’t worry, that…

I view it that as soon as any data is created, I assume it’s unsecured. No one has ever demonstrated to the contrary, despite assertions that your data is safe. It’s the main reason why I would be extremely hesitant to install any connected cameras in my home.

I mean, how much does a sponsored post on Gizmodo cost? Dude's a genius.

I don’t think the point is that it is an underwater camera. At all. Just that it’s sufficiently rugged that it can survive temporary immersion.

Was it really a “mistake?”

‘“Setting aside the ethical issues of primate experimentation here, if one calls this ‘torso-and-limbs transplant’ rather than ‘head transplant,’ then the nightmare-ish ethical associations are dissolved.”’

Worth it.

It seems like the jury is actually still out as to whether it’s more green on the whole life cycle. But even if it’s a “tie,” I think that the balance will shift very soon such that an electric vehicle is indeed the greenest option.

An electric car is still more efficient than an ICE vehicle, even when accounting for the varied fuel sources in the US. In addition, if you have an electric fleet, the “greenness” of your fleet improves as you improve your the greenness of your grid, as opposed to when people buy a new car in ten years that is…

If designing to the test doesn’t make the car safer, then we need a new test.

A previous one was similar. A pretty stable landing, slow tip over, BOOOM!

The whole topic of this post is “I can’t fucking believe you haven’t seen Star Wars yet.”

Not really. China’s population is HEAVILY concentrated in the eastern half of the country. The US has this to some extent, but not the same, and also has a massive population concentration on the west coast.

Does it alarm anyone else that they’re having their food safety meeting three weeks from now?

You’re not accounting for the fact that I eat at least 21 burritos a week.

I can’t remember if it was completely automatic, or if it told you it failed to send it via data, and then prompted you to send it via text. But I do know that if it fails on the other end, if the recepient doesn’t have data, it automatically sends as a text, which is great.

“Amtrak is probably America’s finest bar. On the Northeast Corridor run, you can get a bottle of Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA for $8.”

If I try to send a hangouts message to someone, but don’t have a data signal, will it automatically send a text message instead?

I resent the term NIMBY, as I think you’ll find almost everyone is a NIMBY when it’s their BY.
