seqastianon Encouraging a culture of written communication

A wiki is only as good as the big picture and structure of the people feeding it. Maybe you could use the logs of a chat to feed into a wiki. Just having everyone edit away with that ever is on their plate today, sure sounds like a wiki I don't want to use.

seqastianon Toyota is trying to put solar panels on a Prius to charge battery during the day

They talk about Solar Range up to 34 km/day. Just 10km a day extra and going 50 every day that extends your range(250km) by another day. Maybe for people who don't go very far and not every day it can even work out to be mostly self sufficient? Im glad someone is trying to make it work and we will see how it works out in the long run.

seqastianon Self-Driving Cars Have a Problem: Safer Human-Driven Ones

human vs human road interaction is mostly based on trust, and it usually works out because most humans are sane and healthy while driving.

the same thing can not work with machines cause they are bad at detecting when humans are not all right and humans are bad at trusting machines.

as soon as we just accept that the save way to operate in close proximity of others, is to do it at way slower speeds. we will have very save roads with humans and robots behind the wheel.

seqastianon How the Apple Store Lost Its Luster

seqastianon Apple announces Apple Card credit card

Apple owns the rights to apple content. As Netflix does to most of their original content. So their original stuff will most likely launch international. What Europe won't get is all the channels cause those might have different plans for different markets. Disney already talked about an international launch of Hulu and most of the HBO and Showtime stuff is on Sky in some European markets which has TV app integration already.

So no we won't have the exactly same stuff but most of it will end up there one way or another (except Netflix)
