Absolutely love it, fantastic work!

Gone is the excitement where I would stalk the rumor sites and live stream the announcement. All I hear is better camera, faster chip ZZZZZzzzzzz

Well plenty of similar animals that were around at the same time such as Crocodiles have not. Unless crocs reside in our sewers watching, waiting and plotting our downfall

As long as a scapegoat, erm I mean "human saftey driver" is present

My last few cars, were a confusing mess of UI. Both of which had poorly thought out touch screens. This Renault seems to have them both beet in bad ui though. I miss my mini with no touch screen and simple functional buttons!

Yes, I think when I feel comfortable that they will stick around I will feel comfortable with putting my wages in.

I do like Monzo, they are one of the few startups I have invested in. I tend to personally use them for my fun money and still use my long time bank for paying the bills and getting my wages etc I transfer my monthly spending money to Monzo and when that runs out the fun stops.

Amoungst this big thread, I've not noticed any evidence for this and the original article does not back this up with anything. Is the allegation that google are using battery warnings to push people towards using firebase notifications? Has anyone any experience of this?

In the UK we have 'Adult Education' where schools are often used for evening classes for adults. They tend to offer IT training, foreign language studies as well as creative subjects. I have been to a few for learning to make Pottery, and back in the day 'Flash Programming'

They were being ironic as we wont be in the zone in a few weeks

I was thinking a kind of chaff, long wires coated in a thin film of plastic to slow their decent, fire a load of these into the air around the drone and it will come down by tieing up its propellers. I also considered rubber bullets would work too.

I automated my job at a company. I did not tell management for a week after but was then bored. It took another few months of me nagging them for more work before the believed me and gave me another project.

It was a business critical application I inherited that was highly unreliable, my job was to keep it running. I just reworked the code so that it ran reliably and was resistant to outages etc. I also added in a few scheduled tasks etc to keep it ticking over

I think it's just a bad title. The article itself encourages exercising

I really don't like the idea of some of this. Facial analysis just seems creepy and prone to dismiss people who would make candidates because they don't like their photo being taken etc. I like the idea of automated filtering to some extent and see how this would be useful but disagree with the use of photos.

Here is an article though it gives no rationale. I think ebikes are allowed on roads as they are pedal assisted. Bikes that don't require you to pedal are in a grey area. Since eScotters have no pedals they are not legal on the roads http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/5271874.stm

I love the idea of eScooters but in the UK they are illegal to use on the road or pavements. Unless the law changes they won't get adopted over here.

Does it work on humans too, just asking for a friend?

It definitely featured near the top of google results for many questions. I remember being annoyed at the paywall many a time.

So De Beers argument is that their shiny rocks dug out from the ground are worth far more than shiny rocks made in a machine. When no one really cares and people cant tell the difference apart from experts saying they are "fake" to keep their own industries assets from plummeting in value?

In the UK they are limited to 25km/h in the USA it's 32 km/h. Although a lot of grey market imports are much faster

I have been comparing biking and driving to work in Derby (UK) for my 7 mile commute. Biking can be quicker for me depending on traffic. I have just ordered an ebike that should shift the odds more in favour of this bike.

I always feel better having commuted on bike though

I have backed and received a few Jide products and love them. The ones I have received will continue to work and benefit my family. It is a shame they are moving away from the consumer space but I wish them luck.

I recently ordered a pinebook and intended on installing remix OS on it. I think I will choose differently now though.

I will check it out. I have been reading Tony Robbins - 'Master The Game' which talks about index funds as a better alternative to high fee managed funds. This sounds like it could be a good source of info for picking them

With talk of neural interfaces and augmentation will we have apps in the future that support human to human encryption I wonder?

Instagram was cool, now it's going downhill in my opinion due to many spam accounts. Here is my highly opinionated piece on it:

yeah I went onto wikipedia after I typed that. I guess photoshop took over. I only used the amiga version, I seem to recall seeing all this extra stuff on the game disk but never really used it.

Deluxe Paint was an amazing tool! I spent so many hours on that tool doing animations and paintings. I wonder what happened to that company?

Microsoft have Windows Holographic coming soon that will launch on 3rd party sets for Dell Lenovo etc. These are VR headsets with inside out tracking but without the AR tech. I guess they will be a good rival to the Vive but details are thin
