I used to think my daughter may never drive, because autonomous vehicles were rumored to always be just around the corner. Now I think she may never ride in an autonomous vehicle. Do autonomous vehicles drive in the rain? We live in a north

Double edged sword. Too short an article, the progress bar is meaningless. Too long, and there's no way I'm reading until the end. Useful if all the articles are about this length, but even then fades away with frequent readers.

Isn't this money squandered, if autonomous vehicles are likely by the time of its completion?

For me, it's to proxy the email IP address. Use Cloudflare for http, but using SMTP from your server exposes your IP.

Doesn't this just correlate with 10 people will tell others when unhappy, while they'll tell 1 if happy?

Guessing the photos are composites. The background is HDR, but HDR looks horrible on people, so they were shot without HDR and layered in Photoshop. In the second shot you can clearly see how the shadows are at different angles.

When I was 8 or 9 years old I had dinner with a contemporary of Andre the Giant, Baron von Raschke. He was friends with my best friends dad. He gave me "the claw" (brainclaw). Life as a young boy doesn't get much better (exce

North Dakotan checking in. I've seen this tower many times, from the road and up close, it's pretty uninspiring. Hard to get a sense of scale when it's so thin and transparent. Also, you can't see the view from the top (

I use Google's Pagespeed Service, which is free and in beta. They say they may charge some day. But the support... I have "proxy errors" reported, which would appear to be an error on their end. Contacted support via email an

Space is full of a LOT of empty space. Maybe even more amazing to myself, is the scale works almost the same in inverse. There's also a lot of space at the tiniest scales. Scale of our solar system: http://joshworth.com&#x2F

I'm not surprised this is the top comment on a hacker site. But having watched my 5-year old son assemble a 300 piece set while following a 40+ page manual, gave me a new appreciation. He was obviously creating a new thing, even if not

The article makes a good point. It appears Google storing old passwords indefinitely makes your account potentially less secure. So why do they do it?

I find it amazing 25-year old code still exists at all in a franchise like Madden. I played the original Madden. It bears little resemblance to the current generation. There's really not been a total rewrite in 25 years? Amazing.

On the face, appears to be a huge valuation for an overpriced thermostat and smoke alarm. But combined with their recent robotic acquisitions I wonder if this signals a move beyond the smart phone, and smart car, to the smart home? If Googl

Asimov added a 4th law: A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm. Is it just me, or is, "don't be evil" a little too close for comfort?

I think it would be incredibly cool just to see your doppelgangers. How many people look like you, and how similar they are. Similar to searching for your name, only to discover other people have the same name, and the curiosity of who the
