I’ve seen it to mean any sort of pinch/poke/grab/fondle of the general butt region.

You would think a self driving car could have 360 degrees of vision and not run into things, whether it’s a firetruck or a cardboard box or a person. That should be job 1 for self driving.

I’m fine with taxpayers not having to pay to jail him for decades.

People will work really hard to not do normal work.

dan1101 ,

Yes you can pay that. But $300 gets you a very functional card. And you can upgrade your PC in increments.

I haven’t verified this is still the case, but in the past every URL you typed into Chrome GoogleBot would then index shortly later.

ETA: Did a test and it doesn’t seem to happen any more.

dan1101 ,

Yeah I made a unique HTML page on Friday and retrieved it in a stock version of Chrome. As of today there have been no GoogleBot hits on it.

Maybe some blunt feedback, “I don’t think that’s funny, I don’t like that, I don’t think that’s appropriate for adults at work.”

dan1101 ,

That explains part of why Steam Deck is so good.

dan1101 ,

iOS, not MacBook. iOS used to only allow reskins of Safari, is it still that way?

dan1101 ,

Lots of things. A Kramer poster, a backwards clock, a magic eye poster, a Larry Elmore print, a haunted house painting, a chime clock, a painting of Venice.

dan1101 ,

It’s easy until your bank accounts won’t cover important purchases and credit cards are the fastest and easiest way.

dan1101 ,

Never said credit cards created that problem. Spending more than you make will never work for very long. But in a month where for example your vehicle and your water heater break and you’re not rich, you gotta do something.

Like what would happen if stores gave up possibly their most profitable period of the entire year? Christmas would go on via Etsy and eBay and such. It might slowly die as the years go on, but Christmas has a lot of momentum even if stores aren’t selling the gear.

dan1101 ,

That seemed very obvious from the start. Even if computers don’t get distracted or tired, they don’t have the intelligence to match even a moderately engaged human driver.

dan1101 ,

I’ve concluded either self driving vehicles need to be completely isolated from all the humans on/near public roads doing a bunch of unexpected things, or it would take an actual artificial intelligence to really share the roads with human drivers. And once you have actual artificial intelligence that opens up a whole new set of logistical, ethical, and possibly existential problems.

dan1101 ,

Yeah like a train or subway. Still, trains and subways don’t have to deal with traffic conditions but they still are expected to attempt an emergency stop if there is a hazard ahead. Self-driving cars don’t even do that reliably.

dan1101 ,

That’s cool but I don’t think the gameplay and level design will hold up very well to today’s standards. This was basically a Doom 1 type game, but with jumping and maybe full 3D? Or was it 2.5D like Doom where you couldn’t have floors over floors?

dan1101 ,

I used to be pretty decent with the arrow keys, but once full 3D games like Quake 2 started being standard I had to switch to mouse. I remember I switched to mouse and arrow keys for a long time, then finally went WASD.

dan1101 ,

Starfield, The Crew Motorfest, and Empyrion.

Apple Cancelled Jon Stewart Because Feckless Tech Executives Were Afraid Of The Pesky Truth (www.techdirt.com)

Last week, the New York Times reported that Apple had cancelled “The Problem With Jon Stewart.” More importantly, the Times noted that Apple executives, clearly not at all worried about the need for a healthy editorial firewall, had grown uncomfortable with the way that the program was planning to cover issues such as China...

dan1101 ,

Apple is all about control and image, their supporters are either ignorant of that or choose to tolerate it.

dan1101 ,

They won’t come until you go run a 10 minute errand.

Comications during a previous stop.

This certain group runs many big corporations/industries. They are also very sensitive (with good reason tbf) about things their people have endured in the past. That makes them hard to criticize.

That sound that Win10 makes when you adjust the volume irrationally irritates me.

Anyone have experience with buying on eBay?

I bought a “Buy It Now” item, payment went through. Two days later, I got an email saying I got a refund. I looked at the order and I looks like I indeed got a full refund. There are no notes or messages from the seller, so I’m not really sure what happened. Should I message the seller? Report that I haven’t received the...

dan1101 ,

They could have sold the item through another avenue, or for some reason had relisted the auction unintentionally, something happened to the item, or maybe they didn’t want to risk shipping to a new buyer. Only way to know is to ask the seller and hope for an honest answer.

That’s not a typical eBay experience but I try to buy from sellers with a lot of feedback and 95% or higher positive.

dan1101 ,

My guess is it had something to do with a girl, like staying together at a remote or intimate place.

dan1101 ,

So many things are new to children, they are learning and being surprised with new information all the time. So I could see some children believing it.

Fracking is a terrible practice that is bad for everyone except those profiting from the natural gas.

Incident involving US warship intercepting missiles near Yemen lasted 9 hours (www.cnn.com)

US warship that intercepted drones and missiles near the coast of Yemen on Thursday encountered a larger and more sustained barrage than was previously known, shooting down 4 cruise missiles and 15 drones over a period of 9 hours, according to a US official familiar with the situation....

Wouldn’t this be considered an act of war?

dan1101 ,

Just because PFAS is one way doesn’t mean there aren’t other things that would work.

dan1101 ,

I took it as more of a lustful fling on a boat.

dan1101 ,

It’s both realistic and not realistic in almost equal measure.

The loading screens are weird. Like there are several places with both elevators and stairs leading from one part to the other, like Cydonia. Stairs are seamless, elevator is a loading screen. Why?

dan1101 ,

I’m guessing he had some other issues aside from that.

dan1101 ,

Yeah my friend got one, the URL was convincing and the USPS page is very convincing, it looks almost identical to the real site including load animations.

dan1101 ,

I didn’t but my normally smart friend did. They showed me the site and only realized it was fake from some minor detail.

dan1101 ,

I don’t think it’s piracy exactly but I fully realize there would not be a huge video site like YouTube without ads or limiting it to paid subscribers.

dan1101 ,

I never thought of that, but it would be so much fun.
