I also much prefer my robot to not send a live camera feed to some Chinese server. So even if Lidar were to be less good I’d opt for that.

AR is not dead but it will take much longer than expected to be as light and comfortable as a pair of sunglasses.

I’m hoping to see a lot of progress in display tech. We’ve already seen first transparent screens but there is still work to be done. I would love to let my monitors „disappear“ when not in use. Also flexible displays are maturing, this could get interesting.

That’s actually a huge problem and I don’t get why it is not talked about more. We all learn about validating links in emails and are very careful about clicking anything there. But QR codes we just scan and open without thinking.

Technology has continued to progress but I think many cable providers are capping at around 100 mbps. I could be wrong.

My cable internet provider offers up to 1000. I currently have 250. It is pretty unstable though that could just be the provider being shitty.

But I’m switching to fiber this month in my new apartment.

Definitely. It was preschool time.

I ate shit.

As a kid I was at my friends house. Parents were not around. He, for a reason I don’t remember, took a shit in the living room and he was like “Look I took a shit on the floor!” and we had a laugh about it. And then, for a reason I don’t remember, he dared me to eat a piece of it. And I did. Not much to say about it, it was horrible. Maybe this is why my immune system is so good.

The Matrix

Ah ok, well those laws are there because of those people. Otherwise it would just be common sense. So yes, those should never be reversed.

I’m downvoting myself for my idiotic early-in-the-morning comment. I do know that. The exemption is 12k in Germany.

If you are under the minimum income for your location, you don’t pay taxes.

Then what if you start earning more, suddenly have to pay taxes and end up getting the same or even less than before?

Can you give examples of unnecessary rights?

Can I join your hill grave?

Interesting, I’ve never seen a tape measure like this. In the end it’s the same thing, just remove a zero and you have cm. That’s the magic of it.

But i understand now how you came to the conclusion that centi is not used that much.

I really hope the US will at some point adopt the objectively better metric system!

I’m from Germany and we use cm a lot. I can’t imagine not having anything between mm and m, the gap is huge. Those are probably the most used ones in daily life and km for distances farther than 999 m.

Here’s a common German tape measure next to a book, which is 20.6 cm (206 mm, 0.206 m) long:

I guess driving at the speed limit annoys some people (especially Audi and BMW drivers). They think they are very important and always need to drive faster than is allowed, tailgating others if they can’t overtake.

I’m not specifically doing it to annoy them but I take pleasure knowing they are annoyed.

I mean centimeters is probably the most common in households and centiliters at least in cocktail recipes. But yes, you don’t really need deka, hecto or deci in your daily life and you can grow up not knowing they exist at all. It would also make things like tape measures too complicated to look at.

The controller of course

But a VR headset wouldn’t if it were used. It’s just a saying anyways.

Didn’t imagine I’ll write this down ever in my life but the solution is to open the hole for a sec so it can „reset“ and close up properly. Then it should be no problem. It can clog up from sweat or semen which creates this spray effect. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I generally like the idea of smartphones as replacement for radio/nav but only if no specific app is required to do anything important with the car itself. Because then you are dependent on the manufacturer keeping this app up to date.

But the price for this thing is too high when incentives are excluded
