I have some hope that the EU will outlaw promotional push notifications that are not opt-in, similar to email spam. As it stands, push notifications are almost entirely useless because of all the noise.

Newer cars do see around corners (relative to the driver), using the rear cameras. When backing out in my newish car, I can see up and down the road in both directions, from the cameras on the rear bumper.

Bitcoin has a great use case as internet native money, which can be thrown around programmatically, without being reliant on any private, corporate, or nation controlled services. Considering how much of a shitshow the payments industry is,

Well, if the police was asking for the private keys that protected my million-euro stash of drug money... I would have 'lost' them too. In that vein, I wonder if they keep an eye on the wallets, and for how long.

Just another example of the army readily experimenting on soldiers with novel 'treatments'. Want to test some new unproven medical technology? The army will hook you up. Thousands of hapless subjects who will do as they're to

Have you compared with other BT headphones? Because in general, BT headphones are great and I understand that people love them. But Airpods are not among the better ones in my experience. They drop out more than my other BT headphones, and

Yeah. Alarm systems are all on cellular and trigger on loss of power.

I honestly couldn't see much difference. I did not study it in detail to find the differences, just a casual view of both clips. I did look at the comparison clips at the end of the 4K version but still didn't see much of a differ

Wow, downvotes. The hate for gold is strong, never really understood why. The fact is that gold is one of the few asset classes that are safe.

Verbalizing your thought process is invaluable for validating that what you are doing/thinking actually makes sense. For developers, just think about all the times you have started explaining some code problem to a colleague, and insta

I think it was more about making it difficult to be hit. Both because of the irregular movement, but also because rockets exploding on the ground causes damage, and being off the ground saves you (hence good players always aiming the RPG at

This focuses on the use of lithium for treating psychiatric disorders, as a mood stabilizer. However, in addition to this, there is lots of evidence[1][2] that trace amounts of lithium in general populations lead to lower rates of violent c

Someone recently pointed out to me, that if your idea of bliss is to just lounge and do nothing, you might be depressed. Certainly if you hate what you're doing so much that the best thing you can think of is to do nothing, Office Spac

This is more of a deepfake for text chat than any kind of useful tool. That said, it's still pretty cool how far you can get with just trying to context match a reply based on previously recorded conversations. It's obviously not

'Rags to riches' is not appropriate, as she did not end up rich, only pretend-rich. Even her jewelry and fur coats (by no means items of wealth) were sold to cover debts.

It's not a dead end path, it's not far from how Unity works (of course you may consider Unity a dead end path). I think your stance is needlessly puritan. At some point, the program has to actually do something and put it on the s

Yes, it seems he was pretty hardcore about it. "Go ahead, publish it." Since J. Edgar Hoover, it is has been an open secret that blackmail drives the upper echelon of politics and media. The Bill Clinton thing is another example,

Going against the grain here, but, why so sensitive? A simple suggestion is not an insult, a sign of unthankfulness, or in itself denigrating the author's efforts. I got the same vibe from the article TBH, a lot of what he considers ru

The "Arab Spring" was just another power projection project, you only need to examine how many so-called NGOs that ran the social media campaigns were directly or indirectly funded by intelligence agencies. But more to the point o

I get nauseous watching handheld video footage for just a few minutes, if the screen is big enough. Obviously VR is going to be a problem (I've tried it, Project Cars in a dedicated VR cabinet setup at a mall, was sick as a dog within

Yes, this seems obvious to me. Stuff like The Void[1], where a complete arena is built to supplement the visuals, with physical features that match the VR ones (like physical buttons on walls that match the VR projected ones, moving platfor

Funny, the two things you mention (instantaneous compiling and error checking) are still better in Eclipse.

I've been the sole Eclipse developer in a number of places where everyone used IntelliJ. At least a couple of the places had switched from Eclipse after having been worn down by that one incessant IntelliJ guy. A few developers discree

There are, despite the often very aggressive IntelliJ proponents, many areas where Eclipse beats IntelliJ, and incremental compilation is indeed one of the most important. It is also possibly the most important feature in a Java IDE. Ctrl+s

Eye tracking is adtech's wet dream for a long time. It's like heatmaps on steroids. And VR glasses are the perfect platform for it.
