what’s easier? Convincing everyone you know to download signal or whatsapp or matrix or whatever or having that built into the text app [convincing everyone to buy the same phone].

FTFY

When presented this way, the choice is very different.

Is it Missi Pyle’s husband Casey Anderson?

The picture’s not too clear, but I bet there aren’t a lot of famous people that are best friends with a bear.

I think it’s “Best Service Ever”.

The picture on this page seems to have the same screen minus the red box.

Also, it’s incredibly low effort to cover it. There’s no subscription plan for covering a webcam.

Absolutely. Nowadays you could afford an external hard drive to store such a small amount of videos. Plus, it gives you the benefit of having fewer eyes on your data. The notion of storing data on the cloud turns me off of having certain indoor cameras.

MARS isn’t doing a good job of proving you wrong.

According to Invenda’s website, the Smart Vending Machines can detect the presence of a person, their estimated age and gender.

I’m confident I don’t need a vending machine to know any of that.

Technology does way more than what some consumers want without adding enough value. Ring doorbell just grossly increased their ring protect plan cost and I’m starting to wonder:

“Why are we paying monthly subscriptions for them to just store two months of snapshots with a few videos?”

I’ve always thought the hand signs would be difficult, but the best combination should be fire, water, sponge. Sponge soaks up water, water puts out fire, fire burns sponge to a crisp.

What piece of paper can really stop a rock?

I’m not sure about the top one. He could be saying everyone is living a life of sin (like 402 said).

The bottom one is definitely saying he lives an odd life because that’s literally an odd function. i.e.

f(-x) = -f(x) for all x

I’d rename two categories.

Bottom right: I’d rather refer to a cake as “lasagna” than call lasagna a “cake”

Bottom left: if someone made a quiche without walled sides I’d still call it a quiche, so I’d rather call that category “pie”

This has the added bonus of making most pie people furious and some pizza people angry unless they like Chicago deep dish.

If they’re watching on a phone, 720 might be fine. My preferred resolution depends a lot on what device I’m watching on and its screen size.

He literally has.

You could have a Neuralink device implanted right now and you wouldn’t even know. I mean, hypothetically … In fact, in one of these demos, I will.

I don’t watch these, but they make a lot of sense. I’ve watched movies sometimes and been disappointed that there are no similar movies for me to watch. If you like a generic Hallmark movie you’ll have infinite content.

q1 and q2 can be negative. The force is the same as if they were positive because -1 x -1 = 1

I don’t mind this too much, but I’d want more padding for the kid and an extra wheel in the back for stability.

Of course, but if my vehicle was the only vehicle in the world, I’d still feel like a 2 year old kid on the back of my bike going 7 miles is more dangerous than on a bus, train, or even a car over the same distance.

But they aren’t.

I bet those people are doing it for economic reasons, not environmental ones. A bicycle is probably the most dangerous form of transportation for you to have your kid on.

Depends on the use case and the oversight. If I lose the ability to walk and an implant can make it easier I’ll take the implant. It’s unfortunate this type of technology didn’t exist for Hawking. With what he had he could only write a sentence a minute IIRC.

Why though? If she already knows how to use something, the hurdle of having to deal with her complaints when something is slightly different will make everyone lose.
