No.Shit. So called infotainment systems have the most ridiculous UX/UI I've seen.

The President is usually controlled by the 'Oligarchs' which are a few ultra wealthy families that have controlled the Economy. Anyone attempting to do otherwise then following their lead ends up Dead, or deposed by some coup d'Etat.

Ah yes, I've travelled that road many times and it burnt me out. I've learned to 'let it go' and move on, not easy though.

Phase 2: Get get rid of the Income Tax itself ...

A funny, yet very well researched video on that exact same topic of Zoning nonsense. Entertaining AND informative.

Food cubes, now this? HN ... you've lost your ways.

Can't wait for more HN food hackery, this is truly repugnant, smile and wave!

This demonstrates to me the 'power' of the mind, similar to the placebo effect? If a belief is objectively 'true' or not is irrelevant, what the mind believes and is able to immerse itself into can manifest some unexplained results.

Of course, I'm not advocating any superstitions, but simply it seems that powerful beliefs can yield astonishing results sometimes (good or bad).

Is this a sequel to the Fyre Festival?

Wow, the 'Reds' is a term which I had not seen in a while, feels like I'm watching an early 80's cold war movie.

Vice is not doing this in a vacuum, 'regular' people are supporting their content. It's our responsibility to be mindful of what we watch and support. Don't feed the monster.

I like my devices cheap, dumb and offline. Nothing else.

Actually an old french saying: "Nul n'est prophète en son pays"

Don't know if its derived from the verse you mention.

They mean the same thing, of course.

There's a saying: 'No one is a prophet in their village/town'.

When the same info you communicate internally comes from an 'external' and 'credible' source, all of the sudden the message gets through.

Pretty frustrating for the 'internal' people.

No where in the article do they even try to ask the people who own or paint these words on the vehicles? Speculation throughout and not a shred of input from any of the people actually involved (Drivers, Lettering painters, police..).

Conclusion: none! We don't know and didn't ask either.

Really weird article.

So, the drone footage used to capture this video makes me wonder: - Is the camera drone VERY fast? - Or is the Jetson slow? - Is this realtime footage or accelerated somehow?

Duly noted!

They've come a long way from building personal computers in Wozniak's garage.

In the process they've transformed into the 'big brother' from their 1984 T.V. ad campaign.

"How much intellectual life is now stifled because of fear of what a poorly worded comment would look like if taken out of context and spread on Twitter?"

Since when has Twitter become a platform for intellectual discourse?

I think being able to talk about issues in your life and have an attentive ear is 50% therapy right there. Too many men keep things to themselves for too long.

Once they feel cornered, their only perceived course of action is usually anger and violence in extreme cases.

My coffee machine was bricked, once it detected I started drinking Tea.

IoT gone wild.

The retail customers who end up buying the stuff are lavishly treated. The small businesses which sell their products on Amazon are not really 'customers' and are treated like 5th class citizens. Proof and burden rests on these suppliers shoulders.

This mans powers his entire house from hydrogen obtained via electrolysis. Very impressive, the excess solar power from his panels is used to produce hydrogen by splitting water. Stored into huge containers. Of course, he lives on a huge piece of land, would not work for most urban settings.

Any entity (individuals or corporate) could use it of course. Rich or not, since Electric vehicles such as buses could be a public form of transportation on these specially adapted roads.

Having human drivers and assisted drivers on the same road is problematic currently.

I think the best situation would be to have 'automated' stretches of highway specially designed to 'help' self driving systems.

Only self driving vehicles would be allowed on such special highways, and everything would be built around such systems.

Freedom fighters in the 80's, Terrorists now.

"Although no documentation has officially surfaced that the CIA directly supported the Taliban or Al Qaeda, some basis for military support of the Taliban was provided when, in the early 1980s, the CIA and the ISI (Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency) provided arms to Afghans resisting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the ISI assisted the process of gathering radical Muslims from around the world to fight against the Soviets.[11] Osama bin Laden was one of the key players in organizing training camps for the foreign Arab volunteers"

Love the advice given.

Notice, almost nothing related about specific technical skills or language, framework etc.

It's all about the soft 'people' skills, took me a while to realize as en engineer.

Of course, you also need to keep up technically!

Master of the Universe, of course.

During the 1970s High Fructose corn syrup seems to have kicked off the issue. Low fat was the rage then, and companies needed something to add 'taste' to their various process foods.
