Well, wasn't Rogue One exactly that treatment? It was a visceral and brutal experience (especially when one compares it to fable tales of SW). I left the cinema quite unsettled by how gray everything was, the sacrifices and commitment

How about we fix IoT before it blows up the goddamn internet before we come up with solutions to non-problems? /rant

There will be no purely wireless ever. Wired interfaces have too many advantages coming directly from physics and their reliability is unparalelled. Personally I dont use anything wireless apart from WiFi, and even then only on my laptop

With more and more negative interest rates, or attempts to lock down on how money is used (total removal of cash for example) on the horizon I think governments are quite right to fear bitcoins or any other currency that would let people ge

If you actually manage to go off grid then yes, maybe you are able to save. Good luck doing it without either massive lifestyle change or tons of capital for storage in most of the world. Once you take the feed-in away the benefit is not so

The problem is smog. >They could transition to a combined cycle plant if they wanted to increase efficiency. And who is going to pay for that? How do they fuel them? They already have to import a sizable part of their natural gas consump

Do you even know just how much it costs to run a power plant? You need a few hundred (400-600) tons of coal per hour per one decently sized BLOCK (few hundred MW), usually power plants have several of those, sometimes a dozen or more, a few

"Ecology" extremists are becoming crazy as of late. Sure, let's let them suffocate, starve or have their society collapse, as long as they are not burning coal!

Is it now? Because lack of regulation will not hurt adoption when youll get a completely retarded accident caused by lets say...half blind Tesla lane assist "autopilot" plowing into something at full speed because the obstructiom

Fun fact: Louis Rossman tested that and he showed that they don't really throttle back. They just run balls-to-the-wall at 90C or 99C depending on what was tested. Dont be surprised when heavily used machines (in terms of actual power

Seriously,EV drivetrains last forever? What about battery packs that will be fucking dead after a few years of driving? Have you ever worked with actual machinery? Electric motors can fail just as well, the windings might break or burn out,

The point is to try and look for yourself too, instead of expecting to be given everything instantly with no effort - especially if it takes ONE FUCKING GOOGLE SEARCH /rant

To me it became clear that current global finaces are completely unhinged from reality at least 5 years ago, if not 10. I also am becoming more and more sure it was all fucking Thatcher and fucking Reagan who are at the heart of it all Not

Nope, the only reliable way to block it (that i know of) is to break reboot service by taking away permissions to run or edit it from your own OS Possibly it will get overturned by autoupdate after a while anyway

My car's sensor will trigger on a semi-decent sized watermelon. Drives me fucking insane - it's a Volvo so it really explodes when it triggers when going fast... It's like somebody just fired a missile at you -.-

Man, I'm so tired of the whole self-driving meme It's years off in most of the world, while more and more sophisticated infotaiment screens that can distract the drivers are ALREADY on the market

New 15" MBPs run at 100C under load. Similar with older ones. Apple runs those too hot and they die, easy as that.

For starters we could do without total lack of responsibility. Real engineers can be sued and loose if they signed off on something In software? Almost every EULA comes with "We assume no responsbility for anything, anywhere, ever&quot

Pro tip: stop cuddling everybody If you have poor infrastructure, no crosswalks with lights, no separated bike lanes, cars that run red lights then sure, go ahead, go fix that If some idiot jaywalks on a main road with proper safety infras

Bullshit. If your cars are unable to stop from 50 or 60 mph with a red light then there are 3 possibilities: 1)People driving them should not be allowed to drive them because they are either fucking blind, unable to pay attention, drunk or

It shouldn't be DNC's choice who wins the nomination...why even bother with voting if apparently it doesn't matter? And my point is the left is so pathetic right now that it lost to Trump and looks like it will loose to simil

What is there beautiful about a poorly proportional hunk of aluminum with disfigured fugly touchpad? I mean, back ages ago the Macbook was kinda surprising and nice. There wasn't many alubody laptops back then. But now? They look goofy
